French Boat Fishing Championship for predators
After Poses sur la Seine, Eure (27), it's the turn of Lac de Vassivière, straddling Haute-Vienne (87) and Creuse (23), to host the MFC. The winning duo will take home the title of Champion de France des pêches des carnassiers en bateau 2024, the MFC trophy and a cheque for 10,000 euros.
Yann Diquerreau marketing manager at Mercury Marine France and co-organizer of the MFC, says: "Since last year, this event has been considered the flagship of freshwater fishing. It was with this in mind that we came up with the 2024 poster concept. The MFC shines and highlights the competitors and the many partners who have joined us for this second edition."
A dedicated website
At the same time, the MFC organizers launched a brand new website: mercuryfishingcup.com
The aim of this website is to focus exclusively on the MFC, presenting all the practical information, such as the sporting rules, the registration procedure, as well as the operation of the application used to register for the MFC and measure fish during the competition (pike, zander and perch).
Michel Polydor president of the Fédération Française des Pêches Sportives (FFPS)/Carnassier, underlined the importance of the website's launch in promoting this major competition. "The site contains all the information on the teams taking part this year, as well as those who took part in last year's event. A dedicated page features articles, photos and videos from the first edition of the MFC."
Alexandre Portheault fFPS/Carnassier vice-president, said: "We've designed a simple, clear website that highlights this prestigious competition, as well as all MFC partners, classified by partnership level."
