Div 1 National Top Ten Fish Off

#1

Anyone have an idea if joker is readily available for the teams taking part in this match ?

Should be dodge Sam wildsmith sorted it out on the last one I think that's why you have 2 practice matches then straight into the fish off

Mullarkey · #3

Dodge,

we`ve ordered our bait through Sam this morning so there will be definitely be some available through him if you want some. Can`t you get some in the north west? i thought that everyone scrapes it up your way?

joffmiester · #4

Dodge Trentmen and Barnsley are now in it

at this rate I can see starlets getting there

#5

What a joke that fish off is !!!!!

Mullarkey · #6

Choppy,

they`ve gone through all the div one teams now asking div two teams. Your lot might get a call!

#7

Ha Ha !
Good luck Steve, and well done to you for all your recent results. Being a full time angler has definately helped you gain all your recent brilliant results !!!Surprised You are not on the Burton festival this week seeing as You have fished all the rest !!!!
I would imagine Dorking will be very strong but when You have to keep going down the list to get teams to fish, it makes You wonder if the sponsorship could have been put into another competition. Still this has talked about many times and I do not want to diss great performances by the teams who did well.
Good luck to Your team Steve and I hope to see You soon.

i know there is very little time to sort this match out but perhaps the top three in div 2 should of been asked and perhaps the top 3 in the winter league final
i know from what bicko has told me the money is great but it doesn't end there and what is happening more and more is a lot of teams now have guests fishing for them all sounds good on the day then suddenly a £400 weekend which includes two match days practice matches and then if you go through to the world clubs it then becomes a weeks holiday plus a shed load of new kit and money

its a crying shame what's happening with in our sport today on the back of what is perhaps the best ever year for medals in our sport.
under 23s gold
ladies gold
drennan team England gold and thats without all the individual medals
yet i facetimed Steve hemmingrey this morning on his way back back from Poland up at 4am to drive back after two weeks of intensive practice and i'd hate to think what its cost and only the support of Drennan and Sensas
Its about time the A/Ts found some proper sponsorship for our national teams !!!!!!!

#10

The team that wins the national should go to the world club champs END OF!
As it is it is a scam for the a/t to rip us match anglers off once more.

joffmiester · #11

you'd be quite surprised how many A/Ts were out in Poland

Choppy,

they`ve gone through all the div one teams now asking div two teams. Your lot might get a call!

Hmmmmm.... wonder if Bill has had the fookin call yet ?¥?

Hear Sven is well up fo it

joffmiester · #13

has anyone got a list of the teams fishing it ?????

Mullarkey · #14

apparently Trentman have declined the offer, Barnsley are in and now down to Lincs county and the RAF for a decision. Wouldn`t bet on Starlets not getting in!

#15

Hucknall Brass Band B team have been put on alert, apparently.

WOR!!!.... nice one Choppy

Pedro · #17

Heard that............Bills already chalkin his cue

joffmiester · #18

MULLARKEY its a great shame its come to this i think the venue will fish well as long as its not windy

#19

We turned it down after Finishing 17th its a total rip off fished it on the Avon 2010 when I was with Tipton very expensive weekend plus 2 days practice

#20

still say it should be fished by the winners of the national.. its taking the prestige out of winning the biggest match in the country!
plus that way it gives teams other than the top sponsored teams a one off chance to qualify for a world club event..
As it is the fish off is three wks after the national..
How the heck can the lesser teams put enough time in to practise to compete with the highly sponsored or local teams to the venue of choice..

The whole thing doesn't work for me.
If you win the div 1 national you deserve to go to world club final..

A/t may as well hand pick a team to fish who they most want to fish it.
