Paddle Round the Pier: Fishing Open

**underwaterimage** · 26-03-2008, 11:24

Hi all,

Were up and running on this years PRTP Charity Fishing Open. We already have an amazing heap of prizes for the raffle including another brand spanking new Perception Fishing Kayak. The first prize for winning the comp is lots of kudos from the other anglers and the posession of that magnificent hand crafted silver trophy by Mike Shorer. Im going to have to prize it from Judges grasp in time.

Full details at the link below. Sponsor forms, rules and the poster are all available to download from the following link. Please print out the poster and put up in the local shops and help spread the word.

All proceeds go to the paddle total paddle weekends charity pot and then is split equally between the RNLI, The Chestnut Tree Childrens Hospice and SurfAid international. We gave away £12,000 last year and the RNLI sent a letter stating that their share was roughly the equivalent of saving three lives at sea. Well worth it.

Thanks all

This one is getting closer, will be a lot of fun, is for all the right causes, and will co-incide with very possibly the main run of Brighton smutts. Hoping to see a few of you SE boys down there. We have the weather sorted so there shouldnt be a repeat of last years rather wet meet. Likely species - Bass, Mackerel, Garfish, Scad, mullet, Black Bream, Smoothounds, Flounders, Sole, red mullet, Corkwing and Ballan Wrasse, Pollock, eels, Shad.
Do you need any other incitement??

How quickly things change..... No squid at the marina, all gone. Been replaced by those pesky bass.....

This competition is racing upon us, and in response the marina is getting very "fishy". Still no takers from the sunny Southeast? Brighton is only an hour and a smidge from the Dartford Tunnel. Looking very likely this match will co-incide with the smoothies as well.

Sorry to disapoint you Rob, but I have booked time off to fish this comp. Its probally going to be the only comp im going to fish this year due to work commitments, so trust me I will be out to win.

Make sure you get plenty of sponsorship, then you can copy judge from last year. Winning the trophy and the brand new Perception fishing kayak. The trophy is kept for a year but the yak is yours.

Remember the yak and other prizes can only be won in the raffle. All money goes to the paddle weekends charity pot. Help us beat last years £12k record.

Without being rude or big headed but if I win I don't want the trophy, I have nowhere safe to keep it.
