Not to be put off...

Ian, Chris, John, Shane and Malky made a trip up to Etive after the proposed boating outing to Arbroath was cancelled last Saturday.  The Spurs and Thornies were absent but they caught plenty of Codling and Gurnards to keep them busy while defending themselves from the midges. Apparently they guys were playing dot to dot on Ian's face. Chris took the sweep money with a 1.5 Cod.

Nice Salmon from the Tay

Stewart was up in his usual haunt of a week and had an 11 pound fish before this peach was caught by a colleague the next day. At 24 pounds its a fine fish, check the shoulders on it ...

Next shore match Sunday 27th May

The next  shore match will be fished in the SW at our usual venue for this time of year.

It will be a two rod match based on the new points scoring system with target species being Bass, Dogfish, Flounders, Eels, Cod and maybe a Smoothie or two. In the right conditions good numbers of fish have shown on this mark to crab and worm baits. The sweep will be split  between the longest fish & most points

Fishing times 11am- 5pm please arrive at the venue no later than 10am.

If you are intend to fish please contact Martin. John or Jamie.
