Warrington Anglers have introduced a "Catch of the Month" competition, where members are invited to submit photographs of their catches to the club. The winning entry, as chosen by the committee each month, recieves £100 of the latest groundbait, particles, pellets,boilies, etc, courtesey of Bait-Tech.
What is bamboozling me is that so far we only have had one single entry (which won the March contest), and not a single entry last month! May is nearly over and I dont think we have had an entry yet this month either.
Now I know that a lot of specimen hunters are cagey about their catches, not wanting any publicity, and concerned about a "circus" following their successes, blah blah. Well fair enough. But if someone submitted a photo of a 1 ounce gudgeon last month, it would have won!
I know there are quite a lot of WAA members on the FM site, and I cant believe that you're all either (1) catching that well that you dont want to tell anyone, or (2) blanking all the time.
So, if you are out fishing on a WAA water this weekend, take a camera fishing with you, and get snapping. Send your entries, along withsome details of where, when and how you made your catch, to the email address stated in your licence. Dont forget to include your licence number when you do so. There is also a separate prize for Junior members, so if you take your kids fishing with you, get them to enter too.
Cant hurt if you get £100 worth of top quality bait for it can it?
I will display the winning contest entries on therevamped club website (which goes live next week.)
