Similar to how our club used to be, probably £10-£15 per match inc basic bait.
Entry fees kept going up though & now the club is no more....
Sad thing was the better anglers who tended to make the top three most matches were never satisfied with the payouts & tended to forget that the majority of small club anglers turn up for a days fishing & a bit of banter... they didn't expect to be in the payout but turned up all the same... & without them you don't have a club.
But alas they have found out the hardway that these people aren't fools... they don't complain they just drop out of the club.
It's only my opinion but I think if you get to the stage where you're out fishing your fellow club anglers it's time for you to move on to greater challenges.. don't ruin the club for the rest by introducing one or two better anglers it just upsets the balance of the club.... I speak from experience ! (& NO, I wasn't one of the few who always made the payout).
