Budget Priced Family Holiday with Fishing every Day!

Posted by: Sarah Thomson, 13th August 2010 13:46PM

The Pontin's Pakefield Fishing Festival is a unique angling festival that covers sea and coarse angling. The coarse angling event is over 4 days and fished on 3 Barford Lakes' venues with one match on the awesome River Yare. The Sea festival can be fished either from the beach, pier or on boats. Coach travel is provided to the fishing venues.

It's a friendly, relaxed, prize based festival with all the added fun of a Pontin's holiday. Very affordable with prices starting at £166 per person for a week's half board accommodation. The first child place is free with two paying adults and there's a full programme of adult and children's entertainment along with heated indoor pool, crazy golf, arcade and tours available to Southwold, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft town centre.

The majority of the payouts are through tackle prizes and last year's tackle prizes were handed out by Bob Nudd. There are group discounts available for 10+ anglers so whether it's a family holiday or club outing there are incentives for all.

This year's festival will see bait and tackle workshops and demo's throughout the week with Fox Match, Tri-Cast, Dynamite, Nisa Feeders to name a few with more to be confirmed over the following weeks.

There will be a tactics forum where venue experts will let you in on their secrets, with River Yare expert Nick Larkin (Nisa Feeders) also giving tips and how to tackle the River. For the sea anglers there will be filleting fish demos along with casting tuition to add distance to your casts. There will also be special Festival deals, offers and prize draws which include a £160 FX Fox rod and case of Dynamite groundbait.
