Mercury Fishing Cup IV

The Mercury Fishing Cup is the French carnivorous boat fishing championship organized by the Fédération Française des Pêches Sportives (FFPS Carnassier) in partnership with Mercury Marine. In 2026, its third edition will be held on September 19 and 20 at an undisclosed location...

This competition brings together the best French anglers, sometimes in mixed international teams, for two intense days of lure fishing, targeting pike, zander and perch.

Crews must hold a FFPS Carnassier license and a valid fishing card. The competition is based on the cumulative length of approved catches, with live tracking of results accessible to the public, reinforcing the interaction and visibility of the event.

An unmissable event

The Mercury Fishing Cup has become a key event in the French sport fishing scene, with a strong commitment from its partners, attractive prizes, and a strong emphasis on the values of fair play, respect for the environment and conviviality.

This year's event promises to be particularly challenging, with a top-class line-up of competitors, professional organization and a growing momentum since the first edition in 2023.
