BOAT ANGLING

2011 Report - Thursday 7th July, Poole. 

You can organise the boats. You can organise the accommodation. You can organise the competitors. But the one thing you can never organise is the fish!

Anglers fishing the day before had found some nice rays despite the poor weather and everything looked good for the day of the final. But as ever it didn't turn out as expected. The weather had improved slightly and plenty of fish were caught, just nothing very big. Total catch was three hundred and thirty-five fish from thirteen species and mini species.

This year because of the size of the fishing fleet at Poole we booked three big catamarans as in previous years there had been murmurings about the unfairness of using four boats. With three we could now have each boat as a zone and the skippers were free to fish wherever they liked.





The 2012 final is at Milford Haven on the 12th July. 

Please note that accommodation for these finals is booked at least a year in advance and numbers are based on the regional teams that we know will be taking part. If you want to bring your partner or make the event a family holiday you must contact the angling council first, do not approach the hotel.

Whilst competing in the national finals on special leave you are deemed to be at work and are governed by normal Civil Service rules, as such you are expected to turn up at the boats to compete, occupy the room allocated to you and attend the presentation meal. Failure to comply with this timetable could cause you to be charged for unoccupancy of rooms, charged for an evening meal and may lead to disciplinary action by the Civil Service Sports Council or your employer.
