Species League 2020
We have 12 dates set and many of the boats and venues already booked for 2020 see table . We are looking for boat anglers in all regions, there are no joining fees just a one off £60 deposit for new members that books your first trip. All regions can be fished and you can choose which ever ports and dates you want to fish from. To get the most species – one of two top Species League UK Champions, you need to travel to different ports and various times of the year and this is a challenge in its own right to pick the best venue and date to target difficult to catch species. So, book your spaces early to avoid disappointment
