The Asian Angler August 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English | Página 194

A general statement if I may say so, is coarse fishing tend to be more refined, using much lighter lines
(10ozs sometimes!), small hooks (down to a size 24)
and sensitive floats and rods with an idea to be more
accurate and technical in their feeding and approach
to catching fish.
Coarse anglers target as many fish as possible to
build up a good total weight from the same species
or a variety of species so a lot depends on getting the
methods just right to keep the bites coming.
Match Fishing
Its basically coarse fishing but done in a competitive manner much like a sport. Anglers pit their skills
against the fish and against each other. There are
several formats utilized, either individual, in pairs and
also in a team. The matches too can cover several
days and there are league tables set up. The Irish angling festival are an example of matches that attract a
lot of anglers, as with Fishomania and Parkdean Masters in the UK, some with big payouts too! Hey, they
take their match fishing seriously!
