A while back I was asked to post the details of a new initiative that saw the GOT anglers pairing up with young anglers from across the country. The idea being that each youngster would fish and get help and guidance from the seasoned angler. The Match took place yesterday at Alders Farm.
Here is a message from GOT Baits supremo Trevor Price.
"Well thats that then done and dusted, what a great day and i echo the comments of Pete if you never made it you missed a fantastic event.
Before i give you the full result i must say a few thanks.
