The 30th annual RailSport angling competition will be held on 14 August 2019.
Makins Fishery in Wolvey, Warwickshire, will once again host the tournament. The site, which is split into three zones, has 18 lakes and is one of the UK’s most popular commercial fisheries.
The teams' competition requires each of the four members to fish in a different section. They are then scored based on their performance in that section, with the winner awarded one point, second two points, third three points and fourth four. The scores are then added together and the lowest combined total wins.
‘A lot of the people come year in year out and what we see is some of the people have definitely improved their angling skills,’ says organiser Cliff Robinson.
