Junior angler with a catch — Guernsey Junior Fishing League

The Guernsey Junior Fishing League began the way most good ideas do — with a few friends heading down to the coast, comparing catches, and wondering who'd landed the biggest fish that weekend. Word spread from friend to friend, and what started as a small group has grown into an island-wide league of young anglers.

Every competition is entirely free to enter and run by the juniors themselves — no adults calling the shots, just young anglers organising fair, friendly competition for their own community. Whether you're chasing a personal best or just want an excuse to get outdoors with your mates, there's a place for you on the rocks.

Everything You Need, Nothing To Pay For

From your first entry to your first trophy, here's what being part of the league gets you.

Free Sea Competitions

Regular junior sea fishing competitions held almost every weekend around the island, Friday 4pm to Sunday 9pm — always free to enter, always open to new members.

Group Entries

Fish solo or gather your mates into a group, any size — enter together, weigh in together, and see how your crew stacks up on the league table.

Official Membership Cards

Every registered member receives a free league membership card, marking you as an official part of the Guernsey Junior Fishing League — and giving you 10% off fishing gear (excluding bait and commercial fishing supplies) at Micks Fishing Supplies, where cards must be collected in person.

Prizes For Every Category

Win by species, by size, by group, or by most-improved catch — prizes are spread across multiple categories so everyone has something to aim for.

Results Every Weekend

Catches from anywhere around the island between Friday afternoon and Sunday evening are logged and posted to the island-wide league board.

A Community, Not Just A League

Run by juniors, for juniors — a friendly, junior-led space to swap tips, share your best catches and make new fishing mates along the coastline.
