Our aim at the British Lure Angling Championships is to give you an opportunity to compete against like minded lure anglers, with the winner becoming the 2014 Fox Rage British Lure Angling Champion!

Over the coming months we will be holding qualifiers up and down the UK, so all anglers have a chance to fish in their region. You can of course, enter as many qualifiers as you wish. The top six anglers (longest cumulative length of fish landed)  from each qualifying event go through to the televised (Sky Sports) National Final, which will be held in late Autumn at a top venue. The overall winner walks away with £1000, as well as the prestige of winning the event. Runners up in the final, and all those who qualify will also receive great tackle prizes from our sponsor top lure brand Fox Rage!

The dawn of a new era for UK lure angling...

Our concept is simple and fair with anglers drawing a partner on the day, and spending the allotted time (6 hours) with that person. All fish are measured and released, your partner on the day witnessing catches and signing your catch card. This gives you a chance to spend the day with another keen lure angler, and I am sure many new angling friendships will be made along the way. We have set the entry fee at £25 per qualifying event (this includes your day ticket and match fees!), so that the competition is accessible to all anglers.

There is a short, simple list of common sense rules to follow which is issued to all entrants, as well as a map of the fishing areas. Anglers will need to secure a ticket in advance of the event, payment on the day or turning up without applying will result in anglers being turned away.

How to enter-

-Simply download an Application Form and a copy of the Rules.
-Return the application form to lurematch@gmail.com, along with your entry fee (£25 per event) which can be paid by cheque or Paypal.
-You will then issued with your ticket, map, and rules.  

Could you become the British Champion this year?

I hope to meet you all at the events over the coming months.
