On Sunday, Saundersfoot Sea Angling Club held a six-hour rover. Well done to the 15 frozen anglers who competed (including one junior). Five competitors weighed in and results were:
1. Rob Collins with a Bull Huss of 4.223kg (10 pts and £40); 2. Dan Eddison with a bag of 983g (8 pts and £20); 3. Tony Ormond with a bag of 542g (6 pts and £10); 4. Andrew Rogers with a bag of 383g (4 pts); 5. Leigh Rogers with a Dab, but I can't remember its weight.
A massive thank you to Dai and Mandy for the welcome at The Old Chemist Inn, and the delicious, varied hot grub at the weigh-in.
The Golden Peg was that of Tony Ormond, who finished third. Unlucky, Tony.
Forthcoming matches (now back to one rod):
Sunday, February 6 - Freshwater East beach. Sign on at Freshwater East car park by 3.30 pm latest, fishing 4 - 9 pm. Weigh-in at the car park after the match.
Sunday, February 20 - Pendine beach, sponsored by The Mulberry. Sign on at Pendine car park by 1 pm, fishing 1.30 - 6.30 pm. Weigh-in at The Mulberry, Saundersfoot, by 7.30 pm.
A reminder is given that all rovers must be fished in pairs or more, and be especially careful on rock marks. Those of you on Facebook or similar sites, it is common knowledge that once a productive mark is mentioned, it will get wiped out within hours.
Club meetings are held at the Sports Club on the first Wednesday of every month at 8 pm. Next meeting is on February 2. All welcome.
A further gentle reminder is given concerning club rules. Only juniors are allowed help to cast. All full members, i.e.16 years and above, male and female, must cast for themselves to avoid obtaining an unfair advantage, unless a disability prevents it.
Club handbooks are always available - ask Tony Ormond for a copy.
Also don't forget, 2011 fees are now due - but are held at 2010 costs. Please pay your subscription prior to fishing your first match, and a request from the match secretary - please bring correct monies to matches!
Following the annual general meeting held in December, please note that for all SSAC matches, the minimum size at the scales for flounder has been increased to 32cm. Please do not bring under-sized fish to the scales and release alive as many fish as possible.
