World Shore Angling Championships 2018

Copied off Facebook for those of you who didnt know.

We are extremely proud to announce the World Shore Angling Championships will be coming to Conwy County next October

The World Shore Angling Championships is an annual event hosted by nations associated with FIPS-Mer - the World Governing Body for competitive sea angling. It governs 15 different World Championships annually across shore, boat and big game angling specialties.

Predominantly, teams of seven, made up of five Anglers, one Reserve Angler, and one Team Captain are selected by their host nation to represent that country and compete as part of the World Championships. They fish from the shoreline, over five competition days, on a catch and release basis.

Traditionally teams travel to the host nation around a week before the competition is due to begin to get to know the area and recce the fishing spots.

Other than the sporting element, the event includes an Official Opening Ceremony welcoming the nations to the host country with a Press Conference; a Team Captain’s Meeting where a peg draw selects fishing spots for the competition and an Official Closing Ceremony where winners are awarded medals followed by dinner.

So that's why you were practising today

Why are they coming here
Must have read my report on the Mackerel

Wow!

Going to be interesting to see what they catch

Ive heard the Englidsh team have called up Stevo to untangle their rigs

I`ve heard that some of the English and Welsh teams are going to use our club open match on Saturday to get a taste of the North Shore section of the venues for next year.
The other two will be Colwyn Bay and Penmaenmawr I believe.
