Fishing Competition at Watermouth North Devon.

All in all , Good fishing, Great Weather..

After all the bad weather in recent months, some of our members have made the most of the great weather over the last two days. Steve George and Neil Flay took time out on Friday 9th and spent the day at Weymouth in almost millpond conditions. Fishing their favourite wreck, they had a reasonable day with Bull Huss, Ling, Pout and of course their usual Conger. Best specimen of the day being a Conger of 46lb, this time for Steve not Neil.

Saturday 10th Terry Garrett, John Chinn, Pete Nicholson and Mark Bowden all ventured out in flat calm conditions from Burnham. They all reported a great days sport and plenty of species. Codling, Whiting, Thornies, Dogfish and Conger. The most unusual species of the day was a 15 oz Plaice caught by Mark Bowden.

All in all , Good fishing, Great Weather..

This weather hasn't stopped one of our members fishing areas of his pond that he cant normally cast to.

Steve took advantage of the weather to try a spot of 'ice fishing'.

He reports that the fishing was slow but the Lager was at a perfect summer temperature.

Found in Dave Harding's truck was a Kylie Minogue diary, so if anyone s stuck on what to get him for Christmas .............

With a break in the weather two of our boats made the most of it and headed out to sea.

Pete Nicholson and Mark Bowden chose to fish home waters, and report that fishing was slow. Small Whiting and Codling along with Thornback to 10lb was the order of the day, with an unusual mini specimen, a 2oz Five Bearded Rockling.

Steve George and Neil Flay decided on Weymouth for their day out, and fished a reef mark where they hoped to find good Whiting and possibly Cod. But as these were proving hard to come by, the reason became clear when Neil boated two Conger one of 47 lb 5oz and the 'Fish of the day' another Conger of 64 lb 7oz.

Pete and Andy Dade had a good weekend fishing from Watermouth. Fishing over 'Horseshoe' they both managed quite a few good sized Bass.

This goes to prove that the fish are out there, its just pure luck if you are at the right place at the right time.

Thanks to Andy for the pics..
