GO Fishing Show 2006, Europe's largest fishing show, will be casting off at Birmingham's NEC from March 3-5.

This year's show will cover the four core disciplines; coarse, carp, sea and game fishing. With over 200 exhibitors and 150 live demonstrations, the show should have something for everybody.

More than 5,000 fish, 90 tonnes of sand and over 150,000 gallons of water will transform the NEC into 25,000 fishermen's ultimate fantasy island.

One of the most intriguing attractions will be the Angling Times 'Advanced Tip Academy' where a giant indoor tank will be elevated to eye level allowing spectators to watch and study the fish's reaction to various techniques.
