This is a question that is killing me,,,,,

Well i keep asking myself the question and thinking about has Bass got its place in the match fishing world
As a matchman and always aspiring to a challenge any body who goes Lure fishing for Bass or any other species for that matter, to have half a idea must have a competitive streak its part of the job description
i think ,
Bass Lure compertitions organised in the correct way this could be a reality, there are a couple of Bass driven shore comps in the country at the moment they are not on the scale of proper open shore competitions that happen every weekend week in and week out in the sea angling world in the UK today ,,
The problem i have with these Bass competitions for example the weymouth one at the moment ,is that the organisers seem to think it is OK to stop certain People from competing in that event,,
this is a mind boggeling attitude banning anglers and local anglers to the area at that when realy the sport is in its infancy in the UK,,who do these people think they are and what damage are they incuring to compertition fishing and the future credibility of Bass Fishing,,
is this a good image for Bass Lure Fishing? to portray to the outside world to stop locals fishing a open comp in their local area?
The poor results of the weymouth comp this year Nice fish that won it around 9lb i hear But nothing of note to back it up just shows the inexperience and short sightedness of the organisers picking the tide and times ,, i am sure if you organise a compertition its for all to compete not a select few,
because of this and other issues,,, i have been contacted personally by quite a few disgruntled anglers who were fishing the so called Bass comp in weymouth this year,,, they all said that they wont be there next year , to me as a Match Angler and Bass Angler this is so dissapointing,,so is the rot setting in already??
The Daiwa Open
I am fishing a proper compertition up in Yorkshire on the 21st Nov the Daiwa Open with Carol entering the Ladies and yes i cannot wait realy looking forward to meeting some of the possible1000 entrants of anglers that compete every year,,i just hope they dont ask about any questions about Bass Match Angling that would be quite embarrasing ,with the sorry state of affairs at the moment,
You should try this site out these lads fish shore comps more or less every week of the year and a bit of a hot bed for lure fishing too,
