Rules
There are 4 individual prize draws, running concurrently, under the main banner of Ultimate Carp Social 2023. The four prize winners will have exclusive access to Reading and District Angling Association’s Junction 12 carp lake on Friday 9th to Sunday 11th June 2023. Reported to hold up to 500 carp with 12 different known 40lb+ fish present in the 15 acre lake. Each of the four winners will partner a top carp angler for the weekend.
The winner of each of the four individual prize draws will be partnered by the following high profile anglers:
Terry Hearn – Terry is a carp-angling phenomenon and arguably the best big carp hunter the UK has ever seen. He has an uncanny ability to tune-in to his quarry’s environment, and he makes full use of what he learns applying his decades of knowledge and experience to each individual challenge. Terry’s staggering catches are the product of his skills as a carp hunter aligned with a passion for his sport that burns ever brighter with the passage of time. Our Terry Hearn prize winner is guaranteed a unique experience and to have a fantastic time learning from the master of his craft.
Oz Holness – Oz is quite simply a superb carp angler – he has caught many of the country’s most iconic carp including Two-tone and the Burghfield Common. Oz documented some of his stories in his excellent book “Forces of Nature” and is the focus of a number of social media films with Sticky Baits and Thinking Anglers. One winner will have the opportunity to fish alongside Oz for 48 hours, learning from one of the very best anglers around.
Tom Stokes – Often referred to as the nicest guy in carp fishing, Tom is an inspirational angler whose enthusiasm is infectious. Tom has caught some phenomenal fish from a variety of waters including three different highly sought after 50lb + UK common carp in recent years. Tom has embedded himself alongside the successful anglers within the Korda stable and has added to his UK success with some incredible fish from the continent. One very lucky winner will have the opportunity to partner Tom for 48 hours.
Nick Helleur – Nick is simply one of the best big carp anglers of his generation. With an incredible album of big carp, Nick has caught from an enormous variety of venues both at home and abroad. His capture of a stunning 50lb+ river Thames linear was testament to his pioneering attitude to fishing. Nick is a member of the Sticky Baits team and his Thinking Anglers vlog details a regular snapshot of his fishing adventures. Nick is known for his straight talking and quick wit and one extremely lucky winner will have the opportunity to fish with him for 48 hours.
As part of this prize our winners will enjoy takeaway curry by the bank courtesy of Reading and District Angling Association on Friday 9th and a social BBQ on Saturday 10th courtesy of Fink Food Fishing. These are great opportunities for everyone to get together, meet one another and ask questions of the other anglers. The site is secure with water provided and an on-site toilet.
