Sea Angling Classic kicks off national roadshow
The Sea Angling Classic ‘Let’s Meet & Fish’ roadshow hits the road in Wales this weekend on a national tour designed to promote its ‘catch, photograph and release’ fishing competition, which takes place in Portsmouth this summer.
The roadshow also lets visitors take a closer look at the competition’s grand prize — an Extreme 745 Game King boat with a Yamaha V6 300hp outboard engine and the Helm Master EX control system.
The boat will be presented to the winner of the recreational boat angling category when the competition takes place at the main event in Portsmouth, from 14-18 June 2023.
The Sea Angling Classic ‘Let’s Meet & Fish’ roadshow kicks off in Wales at the Cardiff Bay Yacht Club on 12 March 2023, before venturing along the south coast and up into Scotland.
