STARS and catches galore are expected at the 6th annual PDC Fishing Championships after it has been moved to Hampshire’s mega prolific Gold Valley Lakes.
Spectators are also expected to flock to Gold Valley for the charity event run by the Professional Darts Corporation.
It’s on Tuesday, August 28, and Gold Valley has great facilities as well.
Former World snooker champion Mark Williams has confirmed he will be trying to retain the PDC Fishing crown he won last year at Manor Farm in Bedfordshire with 15 lb 6 oz.
But with huge numbers of carp to 20 lb-plus at Gold Valley, Mark will have to up his catch rate.
Mark, pictured lifting his title, joked: “I will give everyone an 8 lb start to make it interesting. I’m looking forward to Barry Hearn giving me that trophy again this year, I still remember his face when he presented it last year.
“The thought of him handing me that trophy again is too much. Knowing Barry, I’m surprised I’m not banned this time!”
Also confirmed to fish at Gold Valley are William Hill World Darts champ and keen angler Rob Cross. Snooker legend Steve Davis will be there, as will glamour girl Sammi Marsh-Wade. There will be many other sport stars and 12 are still to announced.
Organiser Jess Harding explained: “Going to Gold Valley will be great with superb fishing and facilities.
“We are very proud to be supporting Parkinson’s UK as our chosen charity for this years.
“It is free entry, with parking at £10 per car, but with 100 per cent of the money going to charity.
“If you can’t make it, it is also going to be televised on Sky Sports 3. For full details please go to our website www.pdcfishing.co.uk” he added.
