If you’ve had an great day’s fishing on one of our venues or even caught an Association record fish, then we’d very much like to hear from you.
Your catch may be a single fish or a number of fish, it doesn’t matter which. If you’re pleased with your catch, then we’d like you to let us know by completing and submitting a Catch of the Month entry form (below) together with one or more photographs of your catch.
Each entry should ideally be verified by at least one witness (preferably not a family member) whose details you should supply. They should observe the weighing of the fish. In the case of a juvenile entry the witness should be an adult. The lack of a witness will not invalidate an entry but having one may help.
Each month we will vote on the Adult/Senior Catch of the Month at our monthly delegates meetings and the winner will receive a £50 voucher to spend with Nutrabaits plus a £50 voucher to spend at Hull Angling Centre. There will also be £25 tackle vouchers awarded every month for the best fish caught by a junior member.
In addition there will be a yearly first prize in the Adult/Senior section of £250, and for the second best fish there will be a free membership permit for the following year. The yearly top prize in the junior section will be a tackle voucher worth £50, with a membership permit for the second best fish.
All species of fish that are present in Association waters will qualify and judging will take place at Association monthly meetings. Decisions are made by the delegates and are final. Factors surrounding the entries will be taken into consideration, including the size of the fish and the fishery where the capture was made, etc. Deadline for yearly entries will be 30th September each year.
A decent photograph of the fish must also be included with all entries, with either the captor or someone holding the fish, or if on the ground an item of tackle next to the fish to gauge its size. There is no limit to the number of entries each person may make.
The Association would very much like to acknowledge the highly valued sponsorship of this event by Nutrabaits and Hull Angling Centre, 575-577 Holderness Road, Hull, HU8 9AA (tel. 01482 374201). The tackle vouchers are redeemable at Hull Angling Centre.
