2012 Zander Meet details

[Greenheart]

This years Zed meet will be held on Saturday 11th Febuary on the Sharpness canal at Gloucester. (Same venue as last year)
No hard and fast start times as it's not a competition. People generally turn up and start fishing as soon as they arrive, usually around mid-morning. We then (Weather depending) fish on into the first couple of hours of darkness before heading off to the pub (Pilot Inn Hardwicke) to warm up, have a meal, a few beers & a bit of a social

Day tickets are sold on the bank & as I recall are about £4-5 a day

Heading northbound on the A38 past Quedgley, go straight ahead at the main traffic lights on the A38 / A430 junction. Go over the new canal bridge & then turn left at the traffic light shown by the red circle (First exit)
and you follow the road back down to the car park. I shall contact the water bailiff & hopefully arrange for the gates to be unlocked when we arrive.
Previously we fished to the right of the bridge & caught well, so we shall probably do the same for this meet.
If anyone needs more details then send me a PM & i'll send you my my Mobile phone number.

I'll be there too, but unfortunately won't be able to fish beyond 1600. Still, 9 hours should be long enough to put something on the bank.

Sport has been okay of late - lets hope the falling temperatures next week don't impact on it too much.
