Carp Connection Cup 2008 - Sponsored by Avenue Angling

Overview

The Carp Connection Cup 2008 will take place on the weekend of Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd August, to be fished over two nights.

With a relatively unknown stock to go after, the winner will have to work hard!

There are two cups on offer this year, one for the biggest carp caught and the other being for the most carp caught.

We are once again raising money for The East Anglian Children’s Hospice.

In addition to entrance fees, we will also be raising money for these causes through a BBQ on the Saturday night and a Raffle with prizes donated by forum members, tackle shops and the trade.

All entrants to the event must be members of the Carp Connection Forum, which is widely used by anglers in East Anglia. Due to the small amount of places available, entrance will be accepted on a first come first served basis.

Rules

Due to the nature of the venue, we have a two rod rule in place for all entrants. This is to allow us to maximise the fishing space available, and fit as many people on the lakes as possible.

We ask that anglers respect each others fishing and fish amicably, please remember though, this is a social event!

All competitors must have a decent unhooking mat, beanie type mats are not deemed acceptable. There are no bait bans, but shop brought prepared particles are preferred. Bait Boats are not to be used at the Carp Connection Cup. All other rules are the Lakes normal rulings.

All captures are to be reported to our marshals and competitors must fill out their capture forms.

All anglers must reel in for the Saturday night BBQ.

Swim Draw

The Draw for swims will take place at 1pm on the Friday afternoon.

Anyone who turns up after the draw is made is welcome to fill any other swims available. For more details please view the Schedule.
