Rules
There are 5 individual prize draws under the main banner of The Great Fishing Prize Draw, with a single prize on offer for 4 draws and 3 prizes on offer for one draw (John Locker prize). The individual prizes are:
John Locker prize draw – This prize is for three lucky winners to spend a day fishing with John Locker, the star of youtube sensation ‘The Fish Locker’. John will guide and coach the three winners on a fishing expedition aboard Anglo Dawn targeting either Blue Shark or Bluefin Tuna. Sailing out of Falmouth, John will select the best tides to ensure a memorable trip. This is a rare chance to tap into John’s extensive knowledge and experience of these awesome fish and to spend the day with one of the most engaging characters in our sport. You’ll need to be fit and well to enter this draw as both types of fishing are physically demanding. Tackle and bait provided – date to be confirmed in 2025 due to tides and weather conditions.
Tom Maker and Scott Lloyd prize draw – This prize is for one winner to spend 48 hours fishing with Tom Maker and Scott Lloyd. Tom is one of the country’s most prolific carp catchers, having fished for England on multiple occasions Tom catches big carp wherever he goes. Scott has an infectious enthusiasm for carp fishing and has a sensational ability to track down his individual target fish as documented in his films with Stickybaits and Thinking Anglers. This entertaining pair started running group tuitions in 2023 and so are well versed in helping individual anglers develop their skills, catch more carp and most importantly enjoy their time on the bank. One lucky winner will join two of the UK’s finest carp catchers for a 48 hour fishing trip on a lake exclusive booking at the incredible Linear Fisheries in early November 2025.
Rob Hughes prize draw – This prize is a very rare opportunity to join 3 x World Champion, England manager and TNT Sports presenter Rob Hughes for 24 hours on one of Rob’s Carp fishing adventures in 2025. Date and time will be notified and where possible will be flexible to suit the winner.
John Horsey prize draw – For this prize our winner will join John Horsey for a 1-to-1 guided day on a boat at either Chew Valley or Blagdon Lake (prize winner’s choice) in 2025. John is England’s highest capped International Fly Angler, a member of the Gold Medal winning England World Championship Team and a Professional Fishing Guide. Spend a day with John on one of these beautiful West Country lakes and benefit from his 32 years of guiding experience.
Bob Roberts prize draw – Win a day with all-round specialist Bob Roberts!
