The stunning East Riding of Yorkshire coast will once again welcome anglers from the UK and abroad as they take their place at the 31st Paul Roggeman European Open Beach Championship (EOBC) from Friday, 7 March to Sunday, 9 March 2025.
The three-day beach fishing competition stretches from the north end of North Marine Promenade, Bridlington to Pilot Jetty at Spurn Point.
Organisers promise exceptional prizes and fishing equipment on offer and competitors will be able to pick up valuable experiences, tactics, skills and techniques. There will also be several exhibitors at the event offering expert advice.
The popular warm-up ‘Flattie Bash’ event will also take place on Friday, 7 March, kick-starting a full weekend of angling. This catch and release event will be held between Fraisthorpe, Bridlington and Hornsea with fishing times between 10am – 2pm.
Councillor Barbara Jefferson, East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s cabinet member for heritage and coastal, said: “We are proud to host this prestigious angling competition on our beautiful coastline and we look forward to welcoming visitors from across the UK & Europe to our region and providing the local visitor economy with a timely boost during the early part of the year.”
