UL Spinning Competition, Kinneret

Just two pictures....

Carp fishing, short session match.

This is a new format "Israfish" is trying, not the long 5 days match, but an 2 days, weekend one.
This one for a bit less fanatic carpfisherman, and a bit less strict rules.
This year it was better than ever, veri good mood, weather. Many people were interested, 38 teams participated.
Very good atmosphere, although I'm not fishing for carp for some yars, but alway attend this competition for a day or two, just to take pictures and stay with the teams for a little bit.

UL Plugging competition at Kineret

So this time we already knew the place, the beach next to Tiberias is pretty free of people on the weekends, because of huge rocks by the water, and the place is very easy to find.

Friday evening all organization group started to arrive, as usual hoping to catch a couple of hours of sleep. And so in the morning everyone is here, registration and start at 6:00.

People got spread at 2 km of the allowed space, referees running up and down.

We already see that some guys are working on small fish, because every tail is a point or every 100gr is a point.

Though some others trying to go for something larger.

4 hours of fishing and its starting to become real hot when we hear the final serene at 10:00.

The winner a guy was fishing with fly caught around 120 tails.

This year again "Israfish" club organizes carpfishing competition, and I'm there again to take some pictures.



It was very successfull this year, no team stayed without fish at all. And the fight for winning places was really close up to the last hours. Carpfishing here is getting stronger every year and I think some of our local teams could already participate in an International event.
