It’s not unheard of for clubs to be made up purely for the benefit of entering the competition.

NO !

[TF_hempseed]

Ant, I fished this last year and you could hear people moaning tht some shouldn’t be a club angler but like other people say if u fish for a club u are in fact a club angler , but have heared People entering now knowing there is a few quid up for grabs

[TF_MAGGOT]

are there any dates and venues yet need to book a days holiday

From the research I did last year it appeared the majority of people that I spoke to wanted the opportunity to win cash as well as tackle. Thats why we’ve given entrants the chance to do so by having entry money up front and then pools on the day of the qualifier. I Iost count of the number of anglers who asked, ‘how much are the pools’ last year.
The format has been the same for the past four years and changing it like we have means more for the winners and judging by entries in the first week there will be a lot of people entering again.
If we feel someone is more an open angler than club he or she wont be allowed to fish. However, there are now many club anglers who compete in opens as well these days so common sense needs to prevail.
Closing date is Feb 25th by the way.

So as a member of Acton club does this mean I have the right to fish the match ?

[TF_Chris-turnerParticipant]

In my opinion if you are he club angler of the year in your club yes u are eligable mate.

Tell you what tho I really enjoyed the day . Cheers match fishing.

[TF_hempseed]

The extra money is fine, as long as it doe not put off the club anglers who go for the banter with outside chance of qualifying as this is always enjoyable day, I think the standard of angler will def go up in this match now as you gonna have to believe you got good chance of qualifying if paying £40 …now wheres my cheque book ~clap

[TF_kev34]

Dont agree with extra pools as this will only bring out the anglers who are in it for the DOLLAR and not the actual spirit of the event…..

£20 ALL IN and cash for the winner and placed anglers,as well winning £40 per section is quite adequate IMHO…

By the time some have travelled a few miles bought bait and paid pools and there entry fee your looking at £80+ ~naughty …

I love trying to qualify for this event and hope this increase does`nt spoil it for the majority..

Kev

[TF_matt2007]

agreed kev~clap

[TF_jono]

you hit the nail on the head kev , with the economy how it is , and price of petrol it turns into an expensive match now.

You have won your section last 4 years stop ya moaning lol

[TF_ROB AUSTIN]

deano you just cant please some people.

you two fishing lindholme? i am again lol.

[TF_rb211]

cant see nothing wrong with fishing for prize money as well as prizes but think the anglers need to be vetted or something i fished this when it first started and would say 80% + was club anglers now you seem to see the same faces every year. i know of people even making up a club to fish in the qualifiers .many club anglers have fished all season to be club champion to qualify
for this yet you have some anglers saying they fish for a club that dont exist just to fish for the prize money and prizes some check needs to be done

I qualified rob just and so did jamie adcock,our club match was on glebe pool 1 and jamie had 167 to my 158lb so see you there again ……

Were stopping in a caravan and going down earlier to get leathered ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap

[TF_scarf]

My twopennorth – I agree with kev. It’s a club angler event, most club anglers fish for the craic not the money. This will attract more open anglers and the spirit of the event will be lost.
Please change it back next year Dave.

[TF_AnthonywatersParticipant]

Oops just read the terms and conditions on club angler of the year sorry guys for thinking you could just enter it if you were part of a club ! I completley missunderstood the concept and fair play to all who get to enter its some accolade to be the best in a club and get nominated

[TF_herbie]

afeeerrrrrrrrrrrs i have been club champion of “west tackle ac” for the last 25 years. as i and my son are the only remaining members and he does not fish anymore. so i qualify legally. lol. i do have a club match once a year at stafford moor incorperated within a tuesday open and i always win.~clap ~clap ~clap

[TF_MARKHLDAS]

You gotta weigh-in first Herbs !
