We were almost outnumbered by SMDAC this time – we followed their meeting where they welcomed the new Chairman Ben Munday and planned the next few months’ activities.
Anyway, Steve’s back from Norway and soon called us to order. The current competition standings were announced, which are detailed below. So far we have 14 specimen fish entered for Angling Trust certificates, which shows we have some very good anglers in the club.
A number of those specimens have appeared in the Fish Of The Month entries, and this time we had a close tie between Ray Plomer’s 2lb 6oz Gilthead Bream and Andy Bird’s 4lb 12oz Mullet. The Gilthead won by a whisker (or whatever they have).
We then reviewed the first SMAC Open Bass Competition which was very well supported. The full report is here. You can also listen to an independent podcast from DNA Fishing covering the Bass competition here (it’s a long podcast so you can fast-forward to 127 minutes to hear our bit)
Our next competition is the SMAC Open Species Competition on 31st August. Same rules as before: photographic entries for most species with a tie-break species scoring system. Cards and claim forms will be issued on registration. Further details and on-line booking if required is here . Our competition advertising banners will be updated and made available to sponsors.
A monthly Catch Report is published on this website. If you would like photos and mentions in the August or future reports please send them in – email, SMAC WhatsApp or message is fine.
Next meeting will be Tuesday 2nd September 7pm in the Marina Bar.
