Commencing 20 October 2011 you can bid on eBay for yourself and a friend to fish with a star. The day includes meeting your chosen angler, having breakfast (if available on site), talking about and discussing the venue, signing autographs, taking photographs and discussing tackle and tactics before getting on with the actual fishing.
The Angling Trust have secured a promise from some of the best anglers in England to spend a day with the eBay auction winners to help fund three of our International coarse angling teams: the Ladies, Veterans and Anglers with Disabilities teams and all of the proceeds from the auctions go towards helping support these teams.
Each Star angler has stipulated a venue and the highest bidder will be contacted by the angler to make arrangements and decide on a date for the outing to take place.
The Star anglers for this round of bidding are:
Steve Ringer. Venue: TBC
Steve is arguably the best commercial angler in England and recently won a silver medal in the first ever World Feeder Championships earlier this year. He is a regular contributor to all of the leading angling magazines.
Darren Cox. Venue: Midlands area
Darren is an England international and was a member of the squad in the first ever Feeder World Championships in Italy this year. Darren is the UK Manager for Garbolino and his knowledge of all types of fishing equipment is second to none.
Andy Findlay. Venue: Makins Fishery, Warwickshire or Foundation Lake, Mallory Park, Leicestershire
Andy needs little introduction to most anglers as he has been at the forefront of modern commercial angling fishing techniques for over a decade. If you like to catch commercial carp and want to know how to put more of them into your net then Fin is your man. His innovative approach to commercial fisheries has helped shape the way we fish these venues to such an extent that we now take for granted the methods, tackle and tactics that he helped to pioneer!
Will Raison. Venue: Gold Valley Fishery, Aldershot, Hants
Ex World Champion Will is equally at home fishing on commercials or natural waters and is regarded as one of England’s best all-rounders and is a regular member of Drennan Team England and Daiwa Dorking.
