Thanks Sless and Tony I\'ll get the young\'un down to that one

 

[Stores]

Cannock Chase High School....mmmm 1845 pupils....how many mini buses is that?..... What if I get notes from their mams???.....Does this make Sam Harris a paper millionaire? Lot to think about here. Best sleep on it lol

 

[peter.m]

Good for young ones starting out but isn\'t that the same Seabait who apperently haven\'t got enough worm to put into shops?

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Got just the lad here ,Jack is 12 years old ,never blanked ,honestly he fished Sugar Sands last summer ,his dodgy cast went up in the air and landed 10 yards in the surf ,he reeled it straight back in to cast again .................with a Flounder on his hook !!!

 

[pottsy]

The twins are gonna be very interested in this one lol

 

[Hiram.A.Biff]

I have to say, well done to Fladen, Thats a fantastic offer. great way to get younguns into fishing. Congrats to all.

 

[Charlton]

just put the details of that and a boat comp in my pages

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

I\'ve seen them both Alan ,seems like Brian (frasers ) is getting into everything these days ...glad to see it .

 

[gazzawill]

well done fladen good to get the younguns intrested

 

[tack4]

may have to get littletack4 and his big sister misstack4 along to this one

no local knowledge tho\'

we may be looking for advice

 

[sless]

everyone will be fishing the beach so there will be loads of info as all the local clubs are stewards and will be weighing and returning the fish

 

[littletack4]

count me in

 

[kingfishersdaughter]

i am going dad has to teach me how to cast first its like talking to a brick wall :casstet: :casstet: :mad2:

 

[jimmy]

From what i heard today the only stipulation there is is that the junior must unhook the fish him/herself.they are allowed to have someone cast and retrieve for them,gonna be some long distaces cast,bet the grown ups get the job of reeling in,young uns and sore shoulders dont go to well together

 

[occasionalkevin]

Having defeated me in the Amble open my daughter is up for this comp, especially as she will get a rod to go with the reel she won.
May even get little lad to come down.
Would like details of rules though, I would of thought that kids casting and adults unhooking would have been fairer and safer than the other way round?

 

[alan]

as sless says above most of the local club lads are helping so I dont expect there will be any problems with accidents,to be honest I think the competition aspect is secondary its getting the kids together to enjoy themselves and maybe win a prize,no doubt the exact rules will be advertised nearer the time

 

[Davey.adair]

My two lads are dead keen, me paying a tenner each for them to enter, and them receiving a new rod each. Taking them out tomorrow for some practice, I\'ll be showing them how to bait up, cast, reel in and unhook a fish (possibly) for the duration of the session, while they look for crab and razor shells and point at boats, I\'ll also be showing them how to carry two rods up and down the pier :casstet: but they love going fishing!

surely that cant be right?????? i hope they let the kids away with baiting up and unhooking fish , its a knocking bet at least 1 little finger will get it .

I forgot to mention that John Amery the England Junior Angling squad manager will be there looking for possible youngsters to join the England team. There will also be some top anglers helping out. There are no restrictions on the youngsters receiving help from anyone i.e. parents etc.they can bait up, cast, tie hooks on, whatever is needed. The only thing that the youngsters must do themselves is, that if they get a fish on they must wind it in,once it is on the beach then they can be helped.
Dave Barham from Total Sea Fishing will be there, there is also a good chance that Sky T.V. will show up.
Thank\'s for that Darren, when you want the entry forms give me a ring.
