King Of The Catch 2016
The reign for our previous winners is nearly over. It’s almost time for them to hand over the crown, but it’s up to you to decide who will be the next angler to sit on the carbon throne. To enter, simply upload a photo of you holding your catch and get people voting. The picture in each category with the most votes wins!
Running between Thursday 16th June and Friday 30th September, our competition has five once-in-a-lifetime prizes up for grabs, as well as loads of other prizes on offer. Do you have what it takes to be crowned King or Queen of the Catch? This year’s competition categories are:
Carp Fishing – This is our all inclusive carp category. No matter how you’ve caught it or how much it weighs, if it’s a carp you’re holding you can enter in this competition for the chance to win a trip for two to the St Lawrence River, Canada. This trip can be taken in July, August, or September 2017 and is for eight days, seven nights, and includes six days on the river.
Predator Fishing – Pike, perch, zander, eels, and wels catfish are all included in this category. Enter for the chance for you and your friend to join angling legend John Wilson (MBE) on his private lake in Thailand for eight days and seven nights, with five days spent on the lake itself. This trip of a lifetime can be taken at any time, excluding school holidays.
Coarse Fishing – Any fish that aren’t included in the carp or predator categories, as well as tench, chub, roach, rudd, dace, bream, barbel, crucian carp, grayling and gudgeon, are welcome in this category. The prize on offer is a week of sturgeon fishing with the Sportsquest team in Canada. This fully hosted holiday for two runs between 19th August and 27th August 2017 and includes six days of fishing.
Sea Fishing – All saltwater catches are included in this category. The prize on offer? A fully hosted Sportsquest holiday for two, fishing for cod and halibut in Havoysund, Norway! This trip runs between 30th May to 7th June 2017, with six fantastic days spent out on the water.
And introducing our new...
Junior Category - After the success of Reece Grey in last year’s competition we thought it was high time that we included a junior angler’s category to celebrate all the best up-and-coming young anglers in our midst. Open to anyone 14 years and under, the prize for this category is a trip for two to Ebro, Spain. Running for eight days, seven nights, and including six days of fishing fun, this trip gives you the chance to catch some whopping carp and catfish – just ask Reece! Please note the winner of this category must be accompanied by a responsible adult, parent, or guardian on this trip.
Second place prize for each category is a £1,000 Gift Card for Angling Direct.
We also have a fantastic list of sponsors, including Costa, Skee-Tex, Fox, Ridgemonkey, Maver, and Vass, who are all joining us new for our 2016 competition!
With entries opening on Thursday 16th June, it’s time to get out to the water and start landing those catches! You never know, you could end up being one of our lucky winners – so upload a photo and see if the crown fits…
