You did well getting it on a river but it's certainly different with club waters down here I thought about the Wye but some is 4 anglers to a mile and pre-booked months in advance or clubs or syndicated. Anyways it's still been going years and it's the longevity that matters in my view. Understood like I said was a genuine question with no malice intended 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What happened there? Main problem is rivers are unpredictable. If we fished a river this year we would have had trees coming past due to the amount of rain. The comp was the idea of Arch, Wilf and me and your right it was to be a traditional river comp, hence the first one being organised by Arch on the trent and you putting up your brother's accommodation...it was a good do....but the fishing was hard for most as again the river was in flood..I think 8 blanked! We always try and organise a day river fishing or sea fishing on the Saturday to compensate for the match on a puddle. The comp is a lot different to the first one, it's not just a piss up anymore, a lot of lads bring there kids, we get out with the dogs, go fishing, go down the beach etc etc.... its evolved quite a bit but the core of it is a get together each year and raise a few bob.... I enjoy seeing everyone and catching up, I know you dont drink anymore but that shouldn't stop you coming, we have a drink, obviously, but there is a lot more than that. 9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We could fish the Exe fairly easily as I know the club well....but no way we would've this time!! Organising is a bit easier when you have a fishery who support you like this one, the only thing missing is your brothers bar! Lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I defo say where its at now would be hard to beat as you got everything there all at the lakes good camping facilities food at the lake tackle shop for bits n bobs u might need lakes there great owners of the venue river nearby beatiful part of country and yes it far for most but it would be hard find all that in 1 place again and look how much work we me you and arch ahad to do to get enough pegs fishable for the first one and round the lake seems better bit more social and best of all fishing is a lot more guaranteed and not at the mercy of idiots on jrt skis lol 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
