Ben Robertson, the organiser, revealed that the 2021 event ran at a loss and he added: “We are not in it to make money however it has to break even.
“Taking this into consideration, I have had to increase the entry fee. However, your entry fee for the heat and final includes your fishing fee and food at the final.”
