CHILHAM Mill nets the British Carp Championship for a third year.

NEARLY 50 carp anglers will compete in Kent for national glory in the British Carp Championship heats at Mid Kent Fisheries in Chilham.

Kent's top angling venue will host two of the qualifying heats in the Angling International tournament, from April 11 to 13 and May 16 to 18. Twelve pairs will go head-to-head in the 48 hour race for victory at Chilham Lake, from noon Friday to noon Sunday, with the winner decided by the weight of fish caught.

Before the competition starts the competitors will recce the lakes, so they can pick the best swim in the draw - this is where local competitors can have the advantage over the visitors due to local knowledge of the lakes.

There will be six local competitors in the championship heat at Chilham from Ashford, Faversham, the Isle of Sheppey and Ramsgate.

On Thursday night there will be a barbecue, followed by a draw to decide the order in which the competitors select where they will fish.

This year Mid Kent Fisheries staff will be hosting and operating the competition - weighing, recording and photographing the fish.

Chris Logsdon, manager of MKF, said: "We always look forward to hosting the British Carp Championships. There is a fantastic buzz about the lakes while the competition is on - it's hard work but very exciting and attracts competitors from the UK's top angling fraternity."
