2006
Disabilities Trust Charity Carp Trophy
31st March - 2nd April Wintons Fishery West Sussex
Wintons
Fishery in West Sussex have once again opened their fantastic
fishery to the 2006 Disabilities Trust Carp Trophy. Last years
competiton was a real success not only for the incredible amount
of money that was raised for the Trust but for the spirit within
the anglers and the numerous personal bests that were achieved,
during the 48 hour competiton.
The 2006 competiton will be an even bigger event as we have
been granted permission to run 3 competitions on each of the
lakes. Mallard will once again host the 48 hour team competiton.
Kingfisher will host the specimen trophy, and Heron will host
a carp and catfish challenge.
Wintons
Fishery is one of the most beautiful and highly productive carp
fisheries in the South of England. Set at the base of the South
Downs the fishery boasts three stunning waters to meet everyones
needs.
Kingfisher is a small deep water,
which has a rich ecosystem, with lilly pads around its margains
and over two sunken islands. The water also has 2 islands that
divide the water into two areas, ideal for the competition.
The fish population is awesome with 6 different 40's, plenty
of good 30's and high twenties. There are also a couple of grass
carp and some absolutely stunning koi carp, that go to over
30lbs. 6 Anglers will fish Kingfisher to land the highest weight
of carp within the 48 hour fishing period. Pegs. 21, 23, 24,
26, 30 and 31 will be used for the competition to maximise the
fishery and to give everyone a fair chance of catching well.
As with all the lakes a draw will be made at the start of the
comp to determine where each angler will fish for the duration
of the competition.
Mallard is a larger water again
with two large islands in the center of the water. It holds
a tremendous stock of big carp to over 40lb and cats to over
60lb. This water will host the pairs comp. Teams of two anglers
will fish in pairs of swims to catch the largest combined weight
of carp and cats. Teams will draw pegs as follows. Pegs 1 and
3, 7 and 8, 11 and 12, 14 and 15, The Double swim, and 18 and
20.
Heron will host
a singles carp and catfish comp with 12 anglers spread evenly
over this highly productive water. Loads of good 20,s and massive
cats will keep everyone busy. The multitude of islands make
this water ideal for a comp, it will give everyone a good feature
to fish around.
