The competition will run from from February 8 to February 10, with titles on the line in the sub-junior, junior, and senior men and women's divisions for the longest carp, longest golden perch and longest cod caught.
To improve the survival rate of fish caught, the competition will be a fully photographed competition, with fishing to be photographed against a ruler supplied.
