JOHNNY HUSSEIN has just won his 1st Open Competition…
Have you ever considered fishing in an open competition but stayed away because you thought the other anglers were too good to compete against? If the answer is YES, then read on as Redbridge Lakes, one of the fastest growing silver fisheries in the UK have introduced yet another first to fishing!
REDBRIDGE LAKES has now introduced a handicap system in its open competitions. This means that even if you are a complete novice, you can test and improve your skills by fishing against some of the most seasoned anglers in the South of England, including England Internationals and still have a chance of picking up a prize.
Currently REDBRIDGE LAKES is running open competitions on Saturdays & Tuesdays and will shortly be running some Sunday Matches.
A complete novice will be awarded 100% handicap to start, that means whatever you weigh in will be doubled.
Other new anglers to the competitions will start with anything between 100% and Zero depending upon the organizers discretion.
Your handicap will then be varied depending upon what position you end up in the competition.
“It really is quite simple,” says Gordon Bullock, Director of REDBRIDGE LAKES, “and its the perfect opportunity for all anglers to improve there skills simply by mixing with seasoned anglers and competing against them.”
