This will be the second set of anglers to be auctioned off and up for grabs this time around are Steve Gardener, Stuart Conroy, Tom Pickering and Sean Ashby. The bidding begins on Friday 24th of August at 2pm and will remain open for the following ten days.
Anglers can bid for a day’s fishing with their favourite star in a special eBay auction set up by the Trust. The session will be for the sucessful bidder to have 5 hours of top class coaching from an angler who has fished at the World Championships.
The day starts with meeting for breakfast then a discussion about the type of fishing and prospects for the day. Then there’ll be a period of preparation followed by a fishing session with top class instruction on how to choose the correct type of equipment and bait for that particular venue.
The fishing will take place at one of the following venues: Lindholme Lakes (Doncaster), River Trent, Brookside Fishery, Browning Cudmore Fishery (Shropshire), River Wye, Gold Valley Lakes (Aldershot), Willingshurst (Surrey).
International Events Director Dick Clegg says “It is a vital fundraising opportunity and we want anglers of all types to support this in order to help us fund future International teams. All the proceeds will go towards helping to fund the Veterans and Anglers with Disabilities International teams in their quest to bring medals back to England and keep angling at the top of the sporting lists.”
Successful anglers will be using their own equipment, but where possible bait and a day ticket will be provided – and of course they can take a camera to record the day’s events.
To win this wonderful chance to Fish With a Star, anglers will beed to bid on the Angling Trust eBay account – bidding will start at £100.
