Worthing angler goes for European glory

It is the largest and richest sea fishing competition with an estimated 1,500 anglers competing for the £35,000 of prize money.

He said “ I took part in the competition in 2018, but I was still very new to competitive sea angling. Now I have a few years of match fishing experience behind me, I feel I’m in a much better position to have a good go at it.

"Most competitions I compete in are pegged, so you pick a peg and that’s where you fish. With this one, you can fish anywhere over 30 miles of East Yorkshire coastline, so the locals go in with a huge advantage, as they know the best places to go.

"But, you have to be in it, too win it!”
