The move follows feedback from anglers who voiced their concerns over the proposed change to the draw system that would have allowed anglers to hand pick their peg for Saturdays all important second day.
Ben Thompson, Angling Trust said "the recent announcement detailing the changes to format and structure have been well received on the whole, more opportunities to enter and increased prize money, however feedback highlighted some unease in regards to the draw process and we have acted with our colleagues at Matchroom Sport to address those concerns. With over 2,000 extra tickets available than in previous years, £50,000 to the winner and £10,000 to the runner up, we expect Fish 'O' Mania XXIII to be the biggest and most exciting to date."
Details of Fish 'O' Mania XXIII including dates and venues will be available at www.anglingtrust.net/fishomania towards the end of 2015. The competition is open to Angling Trust members only and entry will remain at £25 per qualifier. To join the Angling Trust from just £2.50 a month visit www.anglingtrust.net/membership
