I agree with you, Joff. There where some complaints over the numbers at Brookside that where published in the Angling Mail a few years ago and that had Kammy points awarded. Its something that most of the anglers dont agree with who fish at that fishery.
As Johnny Mac hints at. It was also the weights that where pushed up in an attempt to draw more anglers to the fishery. Very annoying but not much we can do apart from let the Angling Mail know if the fishery is pushing the attendence up to 50 when there are sometimes less than 40 anglers in those matches. Some of us also walked away from the fishery as it was not great thinking we where about to fish a 50+ pegger that was fishing very well. When, in fact only 40 anglers at best where attending and the fishing was average at best. Those in the know take the reports from that fishery with a pinch of salt now!
There was also some issues with the attendence at Cudmore a few years ago. In truth, we are only talking about 1 or 2 anglers short of the 50 needed to make some of those matches Kammy points qualifiers. I know the fishery was carefully looked at re its attendences and i think one angler might have lost Kammy points that cost him the title. I personally missed out on more than 15 points in one season at Cudmore because the attendence was 1 or 2 anglers short of the 50 anglers needed to qualify for Kammy points (Match attendence published correctly at 48 or 49). That was after the issues highlighted above. Its just one of those things and even though i did have 17 points at the end of September. I was never chasing Kammy points so it was never an issue. Would never of wanted points for those matches as they where never the full 50+ peg matches. Rules are rules and there has to be a cut off at some point which i except with that competition.
