I'll probably fish waggler (conventional not baggin') and slider if anyone's interested.
As an aside for this day. Apart from signed copies of our new book 'Pole Fishing' I may bring along some heirs and spares on the book front. AT book 3 (1960's), **** Walker Coarse Fishing, John Bailey In Visible Waters, John Norman Coarse Fihing with the experts plus any others I dig up. I'm interested in old(er) carp books if anyone has any spares, or even newer carp books.

Mark,
Pleased to see you may fish waggler and slider. I will probably use one of my Polaris type floats with a method feeder (lazy me, saves plumbing depths), a method I used last summer with good effect for tench and bream in a local l2 acre lake.
Can I ask that someone brings their Fishingmagic concept rod with them for me to have a waggle with. I think that this rod may be just what I am looking for, but a cannot find a local tackle shop that stocks it.
All may become clearer on the day, but at the moment I am a little unclear as to why accurate long distance casting seems to so important when I understand that Pole Fishing is so effective on these commecial carp fisheries.
I would be very interested in any spares you may have on the book front.

Hi Chris, Clattercote is a bit different to to your average "commercial" as virtually all the pegs are accessed and fished from a boardwalk. In some areas there is a "wilderness" behind you and in some conditions the carp just love to be under those boards. I'm no expert with the pole but several lost carp and smashed top sections taught me some expensive lessons last year!
I believe the venue is (was) a feeder reservoir for the local canal and as such is dammed at one end. It is also pretty deep and the carp/tench seem to typically be at range most of the time. Having said that, I did have some beautiful tench on the inside last year (but not in the match!). It takes a brave man to fish the pole when the carp are in the margins!
Have a look at the report of last years frivolities, it sets the scene very well!

Hi,
Thanks for the advice. under the boards sounds good to me. Not with a pole but with the old fibreglass Davenport and Fordham stepped up Mark 4- 2.5 pound test curve,10lb line, centre pin reel at very close distance is more my type of carp fishing. I know braided hook lengths are not allowed but I assume braided line is. That will get rid of line stretch and anything that lets me use the old spedia to good effect is very welcome, none of that pumping fish in or playing them through a gear train - smashing.

Tried thepole last year. They took me under the boards every time. Pole bent in half and elastic shooting out. Turned to float rod. But was cursing that i had not brought my Barbel rods and 12Ib line.
Will be prepared this year(hopefully)

Bring whatever tackle it is you want to learn about - method feeder gear, bagging waggler gear, pole, conventional waggler, heavy gear for 'under the boards' fishing, whatever.

Any news on a date for the match itself yet Graham?
Chris, be careful of the braid under the boards as it will have to put up with a bit of grating on the stanchions and a tough old mono maybe the best thing.

I'd like to propose that fishing closer than 4 yards in front of the staging is voluntarily barred by our anglers. The carp simply get damaged - mouth damage or cut on the sharp edges of the 4" posts. You learn little except how to fish brutally, and leave hooks and ripped mouths as your calling card.
Considering here is a chance to learn skilful long range fishing from acknowledged masters there is no need for it on the day or at the Clattercote match.

I think that is nonsense, and no excuse for bad angling.

I would be very interested to attend the "Teach In" if a space should be available - please add me to the reserve list. I assume you will publish a definitive list near to the date ?
