This is obviously some kind of a windup

why change the rules so late in the day other than to swing the match in the favour of the locals,

I have already bought all my bait as I was leaving in the morning, I think its a discgrace and the rules that were in place at the time the venue was announced should stand

Some of the pools from what I understand are of unknown quantity and those that are not in the know will need everything to enable a change if its not happening for them, all this will do is ensure anglers with good local knowledge will have more chance to qualify.

[tricky]

Don’t shoot the messenger!!!!

I suggest you phone the fishery and ask to speak to Phil.

[TF_justin case]

It wasnt aimed at you tricky it was for anyone that wanted to read it

as it happens I tried to call the fishery this afternoon to see if they could reccomend some accomodation but no answer the same response when i tried calling the mobile number from the site

[TF_MarkT]

What a well thought out decision, the reputation of the fishery will take some hammering after this.

[tricky]

If it’s any consulation I will suggest to them that these new Match Rules do not come into effect until after the Fish O on Saturday.
I am of the same opinion it seems unfair to move the goalposts 2 days before this match.
So give me a chance before we all go slagging of the fishery!!!

Justin Case if you want any info PM me and I will try to help you out.

[TF_justin case]

Cheers Tricky

Sadly I was due to leave in the morning its all on hold now for me now and im sure I will miss the boat

[tricky]

What miss the Match altogether.

[TF_justin case]

Due to the distance I need to leave in the morning i couldnt do it on the day its too far

You know most anglers dont mind bait limits or even rule changes we all understand about fish welfare and the preservation of water quality,

but what doesnt stack up here is why such a drastic reduction from relativly no limits to 4 pints is pure madness especially when the pegging is going to be so reasonable 4 pints max is an incredibly small limit and those that are not familiar with the venue have just had there chances reduced to zero,

1 gallon would be more realistic and if need be limit any 1 bait to a maximum its almost like this hasnt been thought through or the rules have been applied by a non angler. maybe im wrong maybe im spitting my dummy here but I dare say when daylight arrives and a few get on this forum there is going to be a lot of disapointed anglers that will be considering weather to make the long drive or not with such limited chances

[tricky]

As I said give me a chance to talk in the morning and I will post it on here ASAP. Hopefully before 8am.

If you are comeing up and need any info at all please contact me.

Tricky,
i had to check the date in my diary, just to make sure its not the first of April … and its not.

Im not fishing the fisho match, but what right minded fishery owner would change his bait limits the day before what is liable to be the biggest/most important match held on the venue this year !!!

There will be guys travelling from all around the country to this match, and if they havent read your post they will be unaware of this rule change … go on tell us its a wind up ??

If not, those who choose to fish the match might find they have plenty of space ….

[tricky]

The new Bait Limit Rules DO NOT come into force until Sunday 30/5/10 and therefore do not affect the Fish O match tomorrow 29/5/10.

Thanks for the update Tricky

[tricky]

Justin case are you fishing it??

[TF_justin case]

Yeah Im leaving in about 20 minutes

[TF_Nigel.]

Phew, glad that’s cleared up.

I have just loaded up 2 kilo GB, 3 kilo worms, 5 pints casters, 1/2 pint maggots, 8 pints of 6mm pellets, 8 pints of 4mm pellets, 5 tins meat and 5 tins of corn.

I have a large sensas bucket full, i didnt use a pint it total at each of my last 3 matches, i aint chucking in expensive bait if i dont need to, it will go with me to the next match too!

[TF_Johnny Mac]

LOL Nigel, that lot would have lasted my last TEN matches at Partridge!!! 🙂

[tricky]

Nigel you can leave the GB at home because thats an existing rule.
But will you please take some BREAD with you and I will come to you for a luncheon meat butty. lol Tricky

p.s. Dont forget the butter and mustard.

[TF_justin case]

Had a walk around today what a fantastic looking venue and set up

fish everywhere

There have been bait restrictions in place for matches at Partridge for a very long time! Just check the board as you come on to the fishery by Gold lake. A few will be shocked at the casters bait limit (3 pints). Im pleased that the bait limits have been opened up for tomorrow. Thats a very good move by the fishery!

[TF_youngy]

I pity anyone sitting at Partridge fishing in that rain and wind today. No hiding place, apart from Pine

[TF_Johnny Mac]

Better than sitting in front of a computer though, eh Youngy? 🙂

[TF_youngy]
