Fisherman!, Angler, whatever ya wanna call it!, It sure would be
interesting to have a match in the US, matches are all about QUANTITY
of fish, not so much QUALITY, it might be interesting to see who
catches the most, when match anglers over here use bloodworm/maggots,
and in the US spinning/plugs are used a lot. Sure is a different way of
fishing.

We have a rateing over here that I thought was worldwide? Its called
the Internatational Gamefish Association ( I.F.G.A.) It regulates types
of tackle used , size of line, length of leader and method of landing
various types of Gamefish.
I'll see if I can dig up the address for you. I know they have records
of quite a few species and the object is Quality not Quantity.

I don't think that were talking gamefish here, our match fishing (and
in Europe too) is based around coarse fish, cyprinids (Carp and
family), and other species, not the game fish (Salmon and Trout
families), so the rules are different. We too have a gamefishing
association, which presumably lay down the same sort of rules.

| I think the world Championships should allow any type of single hook
fishing. It's stupid that they ban the feeder or the bomb.

Got me again.. Whats a feeder or a bomb. Is that like the story of the
fellow who went into the same diner every morning about 8 O'clock to
disply his pickup truck loaded with Bass. The game warden tried to
follow him but never could find out his secret fo catching all those
fish. well one day he asked him how it was that he caught so many. The
fellow told the Game warden that if he wanted to find out, that he
would have to go fishing with him. Next morning the fellow took the
game warden out in his skiff, rowed out to the middle of the creek and
lit a cigar. The game warden noticed that the fellow did not have a
fishing pole, just a lunch pail. The fellow reached ito the lunch pail
and pulled out a stick of dynomite and lit the fuse with his cigar.
The Game warden said to the fellow "Hey you can't use Dynomite for
fishing" The fellow handed the lit dynomite to the game warden and
said" You gonna talk ? or you gonna fish?"

Translations:
Feeder = swim feeder (a "swim" is the place your fishing, your "patch"
of water)
The device consists of a tube of clear of green-tinted perspex which
you stuff maggots/worms/breadcrumbs, and it is released right next to
your hookbait. It's attached to the line just near the lead when your
bottom fishing (ledgering as we call it)
Bomb = Arlesly Bomb (named after its inventor), basically a pear-shaped
lead (up to 1oz) used for bottom fishing.
Actually I'm not sure that this IS prohibited in match fishing?

| Simon,
The World Championships rules state that a float of somesort (Pole or
running line) must be used.
There have been many a world championships where England have wanted to
use the feeder because in the latter half of the match, the fish have
moved beyond the distance that a waggler can be cast to.
(Just for Walt);
Waggler is a float, either straight or straight with a body at the
bottom. The line passes through the bottom end of the float and then
continues to the hook etc. It is used for fishing at distance or in
windy conditions because of it's stability.

| For those of us that were raised in the States with a "cane-pole",
"bobber" and "nightcrawlers" there isn't much difference.....:^)
In Ohio the carp fishing is exactly the same....except they make up
their own "dough-balls" from their secret receipts.......
In the other parts of the mid-west we fished for "bull-heads" and
"green-trout" depending wheather it was a lake or river we were on.
Really not all that much different........
