That sounds OK Lee but it's my understanding at KP that if you have entered the league then your peg is automatically reserved for you every week and if you don't turn up then the peg is left empty leaving guys who would want to fish in the cold Correct me if I am wrong anybody..........

Hi phill.....ive just come on to correct you lol. The sat league matches are a league,but anybody not going are very much urged to let sean know as soon as pos, and the peg is available to anybody who wishes to fish. Almost every week at least 1 place as been available and lads not in the league have fished. Giving sean a quick ring early in week will give you a good chance of fishing on a sat. I do sympathize with lads who cannot fish every week, but if it had not been for ice i think i started as a 14 match league with top 8 to count, so most people could miss a few matches and still have a chance. Personally i would join a league even if i could not fish a few of them, as i see its worth joining to be guaranteed a peg at a venue i love to fish. Im not sure id be available to fish every spring league match, but ill be deffo joining league.

Every one that paid money for league upfront has peg reserved, if a league member then cant make a particular match his peg can be filled by a visitor, this can create a problem that if the angler just knocks on the morning without informing anyone it leaves a spare peg, but that is out of the hands of the organiser!! Over the years fishing leagues my pet hate is-- paying to fish a league with a set format, then the owner/organiser getting greedy and changing the goalposts half way through eg uping the entry-changing section sizes-changing payouts, it doesnt work and never will! This is our first year and has been a bit suck it and see, its popularity has taken us all by suprise but i dont think its too far off been right, the new seasons opens and league matches will all be looked at and if changes need making we'll make em! Spring and summer i think should be Sat opens straight through "first come first served" but winters need a league to keep arses on seat's frim

While the pegs are limited in summer and untill more pegs are available.....i for one would be gutted if i could not get on a match. Lets say i could not fish one match, and its full and all lads on match book on for following week and so on. I would be a bit pi55ed that id supported venue from day one and all through one of the hardest winters for years and then not be able to fish venue in summer when its good. Theres two sides to every coin ;D ;D

Hi guys, just to correct u on ure little moan phil about league matches in winter , commercial fishing is quite a big buisness as we all know and without these sort of events taking place with the weather we have had there would have been many weeks already that nobody would have been sat on the banks. Hence no day ticket money etc been taken, the matches i have been running up at kp have been a success in more ways than one . its also a massive credit to stan, graham, frim,paul etc that we have such a great venue to fish these sort of events . The league i set up at kp was so 27 people could and would hopefully have somewhere to fish all winter, but as only 24 names were taken and paid for thats when we as a group decided that we would close the entry after we had no more league intrest. This was mostly taken in the intrest of fairness to the 24 people who had paid there money in the first place, so that the sections would be same every week and money etc. Which in my eyes that is the fairest way to run a league. The answer to ure other gripe is yes by paying £20.00 they have gauranteed themselves a peg for 13 weeks , which is what everybody that as fished this venue in the last 4 months had the same opportunity. Where somebody as informed me that they will not be fishing a league match we have other lads take ther place to keep the numbers the same , still counting the open anglers points to keep the sections the same. My phone number once again for anybody thats intrested in fishing the matches is as follows 07814454271. Personally from a buisness point of view i would run leagues all year round ,this will guarantee arses on seats good crack and if two or three didnt turn up one week im sure that at such a good venue we would be able to fill these pegs. PS not bad for such a small venue when we are not only beating (WOODLANDS) with the results we are getting more people fishing our badly run matches.

Sean I have not said they are badly run matches - I think you would take my real point I was pissed off at being unable to get a Saturday peg on such a good local venue. Now even more disapponted that it is unlikely I will get a shot in the Summer. I think I agree with Andy and the best way is to offer to join the league so tell me how that will work - Lets assume you get 35 or 40 names all wanting to fish the league, who gets the pegs? Will it be an automatic transition for those who have fished the Winter League to be offered a Summer League place or will it be start again from scratch, where perhaps names were drawn out of a hat (organisers excluded of course) if there are way more entries than available pegs? I certainly am not looking to fall out with anyone over this either Sean as it's good crack down there and I wouldn't want that to be soured. Biggest shame of it all is it is not really being appreciated how much we need a good open circuit commercial in West Yorkshire that can accomodate 50 anglers. Bring on the second lake. PS: I will give you a ring Sean to apply for my Summer League peg

Hi phil, sorry i missed ure call mate was busy dropping young one off, anyway mate not falling out with any body what so ever lets just clear that up first of all. There isnt a deffinate spring or summer league sorted as yet, but if we do end up haveing one which i personally think we should then yes i will be giveing first option to the lads that have sat on the banks for three solid months freezing there taties off, from a total personal point of view i think that that is only fair. It is just a pity that we do only have a limited number of pegs available at the minute but as we all know we cant please everybody, but by having leagues that are run right and fair you are virtually guaranteed to fill the pegs all year round, which at the end of the day that is what the money men want to see. Also by paying the entrance fee for the league does guarantee your place mate every week until the duration of that particular league.It also generates much more intrest and crack between the lads/ lasses a few extra quid to fish for at the end of the league, Some people that dont get into the main pools on a regular basis but do well in there section may feature in the league at the end. i bet if u put it to the people that go on a regular basis to the fishery would rather fish a league for £20.00 quid knowing that they have a guaranteed peg the following week, like stoner said u may miss one match and not be able to get on for another 3-4 weeks, so like i said we cant please everbody but only do our best.

Yeah the more I have thought about I tend to agree Sean, the fishery has to be run in a way that can justify it's existance and like I said in my last post I think the venue is awesome and will only get better and I would like the opportunity to have access to a venue local to myself but I have to accept I am not the only one wanting that.
Like I said, if I can be considered for a place in any league then please put my name down and I will make one in.

Hi guy's The response from you guy's using KP on open's or league's since we opened has been fantastic, your making it what it is and i thank you for that. Because of this response this year is going to be very difficult to accommodate everyone and i ask that you just bear in mind it is still very much 'work in progress', just imagine having another 35/40 peg lake stocked as we have done in 'Lapwing' within the next 12/18 months and WE will really be on our way, with your continued support. Thanks to everyone concerned.
Graham
