Looking at my mid week festival bookings I have noticed I have anglers most days, but some days only three or so on, and as the entry is £40 per boat this in my opinion will discourage my small groups and individuals to enter which is their main reason for booking those dates in the first place.

So I have decided to add an extra incentive to anglers fishing off my boat Sea Urchin during this years summer fishing festival, (as if you needed one with a first place prize of £5000!) but for any angler who enters the competition fishing off Sea Urchin and wins a daily first prize worth £50 I will match it and pay an extra £50 earning daily winners on my boat a total of

£100 in cash for a daily win and paid on the day.

AND if anyone is lucky enough to win the first prize in the summer festival off the Sea Urchin as well as the £5000 first prize and the £50 daily plus the £50 you will receive from me as a daily winner, I will also give you another £200 in cash for your accommodation or travel costs to the presentation night in Whitby - if you are local? - Same deal, you will still receive an extra £200 cash from me on the presentation night.

So if anyone who has not booked as yet finds they have a free unexpected day off work mid week I have plenty of room most days and only four booked on Saturday 3rd July.

As usual good luck to all who enter this year
