BE MOBILE - A venue that produces fish over low water could well be worth trying early in the match, before moving on to a high water venue. SHORT CASTING - Don t spend the whole match blasting baits out of sight as many of these beaches can produce good fish inside 100 yards. CLIFFHANGERS - Be careful when on muddy cliffs, especially after rain. Many anglers have found themselves up to their waists in mud! TRAVEL LIGHT - Keep your tackle to a minimum. Venues soon become crowded and a long walk may be on the cards. IT S A START - Remember that any sizeable fish caught on the Saturday could mean extra weight towards Sunday s big prize fund! FRESH IS BEST - There is no substitute for fresh bait. So make sure that you have a reliable supplier or, better still, why not collect your own. RULE IT OUT - Make sure that you can carry a suitable fish rule. All fish brought to the weigh-in must be above the relevant minimum sizes. HOOKED UP - Avoid large hooks. Recommended sizes between 1 and 2/0 which will hold a good cod but also allow you to target smaller pieces. AGAINST THE CLOCK - Weigh-in times will be strictly adhered to, so allow sufficient time to travel back to them. Miss them and you will miss out!

Each competitor is only permitted to fish with one rod, with one reel and running line with a maximum of three hooks. 3. Each competitor should have a bucket of fresh sea water. When a flat fish is caught the fish is to be placed into the bucket and taken to nearest angler (non-family or friend) to measure and then be released. 4. It is the responsibility of both the angler and the steward to ensure that the fish swims away. 5. Fish should be recorded and returned before the next cast is retrieved. 6. Fish are measured from the tip of the nose to the maximum tip of the tail. The length recorded will be rounded down to the nearest full centimetre. 7. No angling equipment must be left on the beach unattended. Any unattended equipment may be removed by the event stewards. 8. No angling equipment can be set up before each competitor has an entry ticket in their possession. Points scoring system: Competitors will be given one point per full centimetre of flat fish recorded. The result will be decided by the competitor with the highest number of points. Where there is a tie on points then the competitor with the most number of fish will be the winner. If there is also a tie on the number of fish then the winner will be the person with the largest single fish. There will be one overall winner of the Flattie Bash as well as prizes for the top three in each zone. There will also be prizes for winning females and juniors. * Please be aware this event can be busy and therefore, some anglers may have a distance to walk. Allow good time to register and set up.
