On Saturday, 19th of October, 2024, Nautische Unie BV and Guiding Service Groningen are organizing the Predator Challenge 2024. After the success of last years, the same group of enthusiastic entrepreneurs and volunteers will be organizing the second edition of the Predator Challenge.
Challenge
The unique (or Challenge) aspect of this predator fishing competition is the fact that fishing takes place on several designated waters. The waters to be fished are Oldambtmeer and Schildmeer. Drawing on the day of the competition determines who is going to fish on which water. Exchanging allocated water is not possible. A marshall boat from the competition management is available per water.
Lure Only
The Predator Challenge is a Lure Only competition. Fishing is only permitted with lures and it is not permitted to fish with dead bait. All techniques from the boat are permitted.
