whitley comp etc

[bribones]

never fished a comp before so how does it work? i imagine the anglers are streched out from point A to point B so how is the result sorted ,weigh in etc ,do the fish have to be taken to a weigh point or is the angler relied on for honesty ?

[alan]

you have to register before or on the day of the comp
there will be a boundary ie Tynemouth to Amble and sometimes excludes rivers or piers.There is a set time ie 10.00 to 14.00 and probably a weigh in at say 15.00,theres normally cash prizes for heavist bag,heavist single fish,team,juniors and ladies,the lower order normally receive gifts donated by dealers or sponsors.

i dont wanna start a debate with this one lol but what about undersized fish are these included ?

[alan]

def not,all got to be in size,some club comps have catch and release not sure of the rules etc though

[bribones]
