It’s all the action from the 2024 Sea Angling Classic, an international fishing event combining a major sea angling competition, conservation, and environmental initiatives, education, and research, while introducing a whole new generation to the sport of angling. It took place from Wednesday to Sunday, 20-23 June 2024, out of Premier Marina Port Solent, and offered the largest prize table of any event of its kind in the UK – worth in excess of £100,000 including a fabulous fully rigged Extreme 646 Game King boat and SBS trailer. Find out who won it…
