Hi all,
For those interested, I'v just posted an interview I did with Eric Edwards after Team England competed in the Lure Angling World Championship. Crazy, hard fought comp and a good look behind the scenes of what the team was up against.
Cheers,
Watty

I didn't listen to it all, just bits here and there but I thought Eric came across well?

He was a great guy to interview and seems like the perfect bloke to have at the helm. It’s fishing, we all have bad days, shame they had one on what probably will be the best chance they had at winning one for a while. I have faith, seems like a talented team of fishermen.

Re: Interview with Eric Edwards on the Lure Angling World Championship
Yes, as Eric says, the rules/penalty points system strongly favours consistency so a “bad day” on the first day essentially makes it impossible to win. 2 good days fishing by a team will win over another team that has one average and one incredible day. Broadly speaking.
Sounds enjoyable doesn’t it?!

I'm no Eric fan but I still considered offering my time to assist marshalling but couldn't get time off work.

An interesting listen. I had fully intended to apply last year and wish I had now.
Hope they have a better year in South Africa.
