“It’s going to be a great day out for pike anglers of all ages, with something for both seasoned hands and beginners,” said organiser Colin Goodge. “We’ve got some top speakers, all the latest kit and everything you need to get your winter off to a good start.”
New attractions include a programme of free junior teach-ins the PAC hopes will inspire the pike anglers of the future and top names like Mick Brown, Gord Burton, Eric Edwards and Denis Moules will be showing the youngsters everything from how to tie a trace, to how to make their own lures.
There’s plenty for the grown-ups too – including speakers Dave Horton, Micky Jones and Stephen Harper in the 500-seat theatre at Kettering Conference Centre.
There are also stalls with all of the latest tackle – including a tank where you can check out the actions of the latest lures from Fox. Bargain hunters are also provided for with second hand tackle and lure stalls.
Mick Brown will also be launching his new book Mick Brown, Professional Pike Angler.
There’s free admission for accompanied juniors – and a free ‘goody bag’ of tackle essentials for those joining the club on the day at the reduced price of £7.50.
Supporters Pikemaster and Pikepro will be donating a pair of forceps, float, lure trace, twin treble trace and other rig bits worth £20 for every junior who signs up on the day.
Parking at the event is free and the doors open 9am. Admission is £10 for adult PAC members and £15 for non-members. For more information click on the PAC website
