Competition Report: The Fenland Predator Cup 2024
The highly anticipated second Willow Grange Tackle & Bait Fenland Predator Cup took place on October 27, 2024, drawing anglers from all over and proving to be a massive success. This year’s event, with new sponsors and prizes, exceeded all expectations and drew an even larger crowd than before.


Last year’s tournament set a high standard, but 2024’s edition took it up a notch. With sponsor contributions from top brands like FFS Lures, Westin, Rapala, Okuma, and more, the prizes made the stakes higher and the competition fierce. The prizes awarded were exceptional, with:
- 1st Place receiving a premium rod, reel, luggage, lures, and a £150 Willow Grange voucher.
- 2nd Place receiving a rod, reel, clothing, lures, and a £100 Willow Grange voucher.
- 3rd Place receiving a rod, reel, lures, and a £50 Willow Grange voucher.

The fishing conditions were remarkable, with a noticeable improvement in the number of predators caught compared to last year, including many pike and a better showing of zander. The increased number of participants, many travelling from farther afield, added to the day’s atmosphere.


The top three winners of this year’s competition were as follows:
- Hayden Seabrook claimed 1st place with an outstanding combined total length of 346 cm, which included a huge perch over 40 cm.
- Jake Hall took 2nd place with a total length of 230 cm.
- Duaine Wilson earned 3rd place with a combined total length of 218 cm.



These smaller, grassroots competitions truly embody the heart of the UK fishing scene. While some may approach the day with a competitive edge, the true spirit lies in the fun, camaraderie, and shared passion among like-minded lure anglers. Events like this are a fantastic reminder of what makes our fishing community special, and it’s inspiring to see them flourish. Here’s hoping for many more to come from Willow Grange Tackle & Baits – Well done!
