Dave Harrell tells me the weigh in has been chaotic with lack of scales and broken scales etc. Welsh wonder Ian Hughes is on a section win too…

[TF_Jabjab]

Talk about hot off the press…..

Surprised about the scales issue – normally FIPS/CIPS are really spot on.

[TF_MarkPR22]

Scotland 2nd with 23 Points!!!!!!!!!!!! Get in the there. Big Davie taking a section win, 2 3rds a 4th and a 12th!!

[TF_MarkPR22]

Looking good then! I just phoned my mate and told him Scotland were lying second with 23 points, he said “you’re f*****g joking” then hung up the phone lol! Best of luck to them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

Wow – fantastic for the home nations.
Does anyone know if it was bleak or big fish in the main – i am guessing the latter?

The latter Gareth! Sounds like it’s a great match, but very close.

No USA team this year?

[TF_fred van den feeder]

spoke to one of my mates fishing in the swedish team. They target the big fish and got some good results. He got 5 carp, 3 barbel and a few catfish for 8.6kg. and a 7th in section on C section. C section was won by a belgium angler who got 12.8kg inkluding a carp over 5gk… A other member of the swedish team got 6 big carp(over 3 pound), 5 small carp and 1 barbel on A sektion, dont know how he ended up in the section but it must be a good weight.

Will know more later today. be back with a report.

Simply can’t afford it George.

Day One pics here including Ian Hughes and Des Shipp catch shots and Stevie G and Will Raison action shots.

[TF_Nigel.]

Awesome lads!

Venue full of carp, and England Scotland and Wales are all in the top 4!

Can’t you tell we are now a nation of carp match anglers!~clap

[TF_Jabjab]

Are they still using the split sections format this year where you are not fishing against everyone?

[TF_fred van den feeder]

jabjab, they are split in two. 16 on each section.

[TF_MarkT]

Stupid question but how does the split section work differently from how it use too? Didn’t it cost them some medals last year?

Steve Martin’s Day 4 video report from the first day of the world fishing championships in Spain is now up….

https://www.total-fishing.com/News.aspx?ID=2010_World_Champs_Video_Diary

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

I think team rules dictate that Will Raison will be dropped today….

[TF_dunno]

http://www.matchfishing.it/

[TF_AnthonywatersParticipant]

If Will doesn`t fish today who gets to fish instead ?

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

I think it would be Stu Conroy.
I think that if an angler finishes worse than fifth in section and is last in the team, he makes way for the reserve.

[TF_geepsterParticipant]

There’s a section by section, angler by angler breakdown of the first day of the world match fishing championships in Spain here:

http://www.merida2010wc.com/

[TF_NW Cut Angler]

Hard to make opinions not knowing the pegs but Sean ashby appeared to have fished well. It certainly looks like the fish are congregated across certain pegs and that if you are not drawn in those areas you have your work cut out big time. The team result could still be very much up in the air IMO.

Good luck England

[TF_dunno]
