Anglers are able to fish anywhere they want, however fish taken from tidal lakes, saltwater impoundments and stocked impoundments will not be accepted.

Following the success of the competition in previous years, the target species have been expanded to 13 nominated fish categories in a first, second and Mossops Secret Weight format.

Prizes will be awarded to both senior and junior anglers.

The club places a large emphasis on encouraging junior anglers to participate, and with the support of the sponsors will be providing all junior anglers with a prize irrespective of whether they weigh in a fish.

The Interclub Shield is a large, handsome shield and would be a great addition to your club’s trophy cabinet.
