For those who have not seen this on AA, David Blair is organising an event on Loch Ken in October.........
========
So after much planning it is now time to let you all know about the one and only Scottish Kayak Predator Competition. It took a while to decide the best Loch to hold it on. Lomond is just too big and fish are sparce.
The chosen loch is Loch Ken, 7 miles long and fed by two rivers, lots of bays and weed beds. Plenty of features and islands it boast one of the best pike and perch fishing locations in Scotland. Fishing with 10-15 red kites hovering above you is a daily thing at Loch Ken!
Loch Ken is located near the Scotland and English border for ease of travelling to.
Loch Ken Caravan Park have kindly agreed to allow us to hold our competition on their grounds and launch (for free) from there. Campervans, tents are welcome with chalets and statics avaialable on site too.

LOCATION - Loch Ken (Caravan Park)
DATE - Saturday 17th October
PRICE - £15 (includes permit)
The prize table is growing and growing, Brodies Angling are donating a lot of prizes, Livingston Angling Centre, GADA Baits, Sakuma, Smiler Lures to name a few and being added to on a daily basis.
There will be stalls at the event selling tackle, lures, rods and reels.
There will be a food stall giving out free burgers to anglers.
Friday can be a practice day if you wish, permits are £5 through Loch Ken Caravan Park (usually £8)
Any exess profit will be donated to HOW also.
Payment must be made 2 weeks before competition starts to secure your place.
Rules will be uploaded closer to the time but will be along the same lines as the other freshwater competitions. 3 pike, 2 perch - longest win!
Be reassured, there will be no blanking on the water. Even for the novice angler, that i can promise.
Kayakers fish and paddle at their own risk however safety boats will be on the water on the day.
