Too good to be true? Heard this on Talksport, so had a quick look on the website.

Best use of copy and paste today goes to..... me.

Not everyones cup of tea admittedly. I've made my apologies, read on if you can bothered.

£50,000 of FREE tackle and bait to get YOU hooked on fishing
PREMIER Fisheries UK have announced the country’s biggest ever campaign to encourage people to discover the relaxation and enjoyment of fishing.
‘Go Fishing with Premier’ is a unique initiative offering £50,000 worth of FREE tackle, bait and tuition to help introduce newcomers and lapsed anglers alike to the fun of angling.
Celebrating the 12th year of Premier Fisheries, the UK’s most forward thinking commercial fisheries group, 1500 starter kits will be given away which include a four metre pole, ready to fish rigs, and assorted bait over a 16 week period starting the 16th May. In addition, existing anglers will also be able to participate in the campaign as we are also giving away 1500 Trial Bait Packs.
To be eligible for a starter or trial bait pack simply register your details at Home then turn up at the Premier Fisheries venue of your choice and buy a day ticket. Tackle, bait, and a ‘How to…’ guide will be issued with the ticket making it quick and easy for everyone to have a go!
The initiative is sponsored by tackle company Browning and bait manufacturer Cotswold Baits.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone to turn up to a top fishery in the countryside and get a taste of fishing. With free tackle and bait there’s nothing to stop anyone having a go. Premier Fisheries are known for the superb standard of fishing and facilities they provide, giving everyone a great chance of catching fish, having a lot of fun and most importantly relaxing,” said Anthony Connolly, Director of Browning.
“Angling is a great way to relax and is fun for all the family,” said David de Vere of Bury Hill Fisheries, Dorking, Surrey, a leading Premier venue. “This initiative makes it easier than ever for people with no experience or tackle and who have never had the opportunity to fish to simply come and enjoy the fun of fishing.
“There are a huge number of lapsed anglers who need reminding how much fun fishing is. Having fished as youngsters, they most likely now have families themselves and live hectic lives. Angling is the perfect way to enjoy the countryside and unwind from the stresses of modern daily life
Andy Stump, Managing Director of Cotswold Baits said: “We are absolutely delighted to take part in this exciting and important initiative with Premier Fisheries encouraging new people and people who have fished in the past into angling, which can only be of great benefit to everybody in the fishing industry.”
“Cotswold Baits are pleased to provide a selection of their products for anglers to use on their visit to a Premier Fishery.”

to quote:- Angling is the perfect way to enjoy the countryside and unwind from the stresses of modern daily life

I speak for my self and family on this one, when i was a kid my dad and i went fishing about once a month wich was great, then he got promoted in his jod so we had to move due to his work load he had no time to go fishing so i started going on my own, i now take my 2 daughters with me and we have a great time. Since my dad retired a couple of years back he comes with us, not to fish but he goes bird watching and some times my youngest will go with him, all in all from my dad starting me fishing 20 years + back our entire family can go out with enough rods for us all and if we arn't catching i know at least2 will be bird watching. so even in the moden world of working stupid hours and thinking thers not enough time to do anything else, if you just stand back and think you can make time for fishing and using the country side for you pleasure.

Just my 2 penny's worth thats all
