World Catfish Classic - Official Global Website
Chiprana, Spain 23rd - 25th May 2012

I have had a long time to reflect on last year’s competition. What we did right and the factors that maybe, let us down. We only had one team and our final placing of seventh was probably a fair achievement.

Where could we improve? What should we change?

It really is all in the draw. Our first-day peg last year was always going to be a zero day, even before we put a bait in the water. I can only hope that this year the draw is a little more in our favour. We will have to wait and see!

Our preparation was slightly lacking last year. It was all a bit ‘last minute’ and haphazard. Very much out of character for me!

The changes in the rules regarding bait will play a big part in this year’s competition. Last year there were definitely fish to be had if squid had been allowed.

This year we are bringing three teams to the championships under the Yoursup Specialist Fishing Equipment banner.

The pool of knowledge and ability is second to none, although we may be slightly lacking in the looks department!  Team Yoursup believes that the concept of this tournament is beneficial for catfishing worldwide.

It is good for the soul to spend time with like minded fishermen, competing hard against each other during the day and drinking hard together at night.

Achieving the title of World Champion is like the Yoursup team mantra…elusive but attainable. Believe me; we will definitely be in it to win it this year!
