Once again the organisers have put together another amazing event. Family friendly, fantastic catering, plenty of public toilets, parking was perfect and everything ran smoothly.

What a awesome comp! Loved the team environment, looking forward to next year and fishing for team Bonza again! Matthew S.

My husband and kids have fished this comp for 3 years and have enjoyed ever moment. When it has finished they start planing for the next year. They spend 3 1/2 days from dawn till late at night together they are always very excited all the way through seeing how they are going and how other’s have gone during the day.
