2015 CZECH QUALIFIERS LAKE SANDBERK
Czech ‘em out.. LK Baits team of Petr Pudil and Josef Liston managed to land carp at both pegs
Qualifying round ticks all the boxes on Czech list
In August the Czech Republic held the qualification for the World Championship in carp fishing - World Carp Classic, which will take place at the popular lake in France, Lac De Madine. The title of the competition could be a bit
misleading – the qualification for WCC 2015 was planned to take place at the Lake Katlov. However man proposes, but nature disposes, and so the qualification had to be moved
to a beautiful gravel pit nearby Kolín called Sandberk. The Lake Sandberk belongs amongst the
done enough were eventually announced as the WCCUK winners. It was a dramatic finish to the competition with only 1 kilo separating first and second place. A big well done and thank you to everyone for taking part and staying behind for the prize ceremony. Richard Griffiths, Shimano UK Marketing Manager
along with Ross Honey handed out the fantastic prizes to the winners Josh Buxton and John Brett, Matthew Eden and Jacob Dale who were runners up and Jonathan Budd and James Pither who came in third. No doubt the World Carp Classic will be an event
copied by others, but here’s a thought: with the fantastic £10,000 quality prize table provided at the UK Qualifier, when added to the qualifier prize tables in Poland, the CZ Republic, Sweden and the Netherlands, all adding up to make the overall prize table value for the World Carp Classic in excess of £100,000. How about that? Well, the whole weekend has no doubt made some
great memories for everyone. Thank you to all and hopefully see another epic World Carp Classic UK Qualifier next year.

legendary Czech lakes, not only because of its variety, but also because of amazing carp living in its waters. This qualifying event brought a special element not common in carp fishing competitions – during the draw, each team drew two pegs. In the middle of the competition they moved from one to another, meaning 38 hours at the first and 38 hours at the second – 76 hours of fishing in total. Thanks to this special rule, one could partly avoid a sometimes typical situation when someone draws a really bad peg and due to this their chances are over before they start. The start list was filled in very quickly and on it were several famous names in the Czech carp fishing world. During the entire competition the weather
was very hot and every angler will tell you that these are not ideal conditions for angling. That’s why most of the takes came during the night and early morning. Carp were the only fish point-valued, but there were also another fish landed like catfish, bream, a grass carp weighing almost 18 kg and the first fish of the entire competition was a tench measuring 55 cm.
How did the qualification end up? Deserved winners were the LK Baits team of Petr Pudil and Josef Liston, who managed to land carp at both pegs, showing their angling
skills and a local knowledge. The total weight of their three heaviest
carp was 28.94 kg. Second was the Tropic Liberec team of Jan Hubka and David Fort. Their weight added up to 25.96 kg. The third position was the CT M+M team of Jirí Král and Martin Pavlík. The weight of their three carp was 24.75 kg. In addition, Jirí Král won a special prize for landing the heaviest carp of entire competition weighing in at 13.05 kg. There’s no point to mention other positions. The history remembers only the winners. But all teams deserve our respect. At the end of September the first two
teams will go to France to take part at The World Carp Classic! Let’s cross our fingers for the guys who are representing the Czech Republic!
