Can I stand up to fish match.

[mickx]

I fished a match on Sunday and i stood up at my peg most of the day so that i could see and fish over a clump of reeds, i never left my peg at all.The guy who runs our club said that you are not aloud to stand up and fish and that i was breaking the rules. I am not up on the rules but i can't understand what i did wrong.

[noda]

iv done it afew times aslong as your on peg carnt see any wrong

If it is not in the rule book then you are not breaking the rules.
He sounds like an odd-un to me. One of these guys who make the rules up as they go along.
If you fished a match on the thames at medley or the trent years ago everyone stood up.
I'm 99.9% certain there is nothing in N.F.A. match model rules which says you have to sit down.
If I was in your situation I would challenge him. Politely of course. There can be no proper reason for such a rule to exist.

[Poleyyyy (steve)]

N.F.A rules allow you to stand in fact it allows you to wade upto one mt from your peg each side to get a safe and comfy fishing position and you can wade so long as you can turn round and touch the bank with a out stretched arm

My guess is you must of done well or even won.

They carnt stop you mate nothing in the rules says you have to sit.
Must be another jobsworth bloke.
We had a bloke in our club did it all the time even fishing with pole

Does he work for a seatbox manufacturerer ?

[rich200]

guy who runs your club wants to learn how to fish */#**#/*#//*#**/ moaning because you got in the money tut tut.bet no one came and stated this during the match only after (if you hadnt framed it wouldnt have been a problem)

[mickevered]

find a more friendley club and tell him to ""go""away mate

[fishingpaul]

If it is a disabled club,i think you have been rumbled.

[nigelfootitt]

why dont you lay down and fish mick and when you get a fish start a mexican wave

Standing when fishing

I saw a man standing on sunday at peatling pava fishing the pole to an empty peg nobody was complaining there

[Daylightboy]

I have fished a few matches an always stand and use a rod because I have problems with my back an cannot sit for long so cannot use a pole. Never been a problem - though with 25 other guys pole fishing and me standing there with a rod I do get a few comm
ents ..... never won anything .....
