Matchroom Sport and the Angling Trust are happy to announce that the Fish ‘O’ Mania XXIII 2016 online entry process for ticket applications will open on Tuesday, 5th January, 2016 at 9am.

The Angling Trust website – www.anglingtrust.net – will be the only means by which anglers can enter Fish ‘O’ Mania. It is open to anyone 16 years of age and above, and competitors wishing to take part must have individual membership of the Angling Trust.
Entry for Fish ‘O’ Mania is open for a three week period and closes on Tuesday, 26th January, at 4pm. Tickets are £25 per qualifier venue and entry is NOT on a first come, first served basis.
As previously announced, there will be a number of changes to the format and prize structure in 2016 with an increase of £20,000 towards the prize fund, netting the winner a cool £50,000.
Qualifiers will increase from 16 to 28 with 32 anglers qualifying for finals weekend. Qualifiers will also be held on Sundays as well as the traditional Saturdays and Wednesdays, with the first qualifier beginning in March and an increase of pegs available at a number of qualifiers.
Dates to apply online have also been brought forward this year to help cope with demand and the increase of more qualifier venues on offer. Once the online entry process closes on 26th January, a random computerised draw will determine ticket allocation. The Angling Trust will publish a full list of anglers for each of the qualifiers via the website.
