This competition was fished last week at Linear Fisheries, Stanton Harcourt near Oxford, a fishery I knew well in the nineties.
The result did not come as a surprise to myself, although it may have been to others. I,ll give the first 4 teams.
Position/ Points/ Weight in kg/ No of Fish caught
1: South Africa 8 / 264.45/ 45
2: Greece 10/ 85.95/ 11
3: Spain 21/ 58.4/ 13
4: England 22/ 57.475/ 9
These results are significant in that South Africa were not fishing on home waters, and gravel pits, to them, were an unknown quantity. However win they did, as well as win and substantially too, the past 3 championships.
But why were they so far ahead of the other teams?
The reason is known to myself. I will shortly be writing about just how SA are so superior and way ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to banking Big carp. And I am not talking about match size carp or F1s, but big "specimen" carp.
Look out for my article in CAT. Revelations will be made that will help all carp fishers.
