missed out by a single fish but Brian came away with a very respectable silver medal losing the Gold by a single fish - well done to you


The club encountered some very poor fishing with a 6 day tour to South Coast staying in Torquay. in total 12no.travelled on the Wednesday with the remainder joining the group on the Thursday morning. We have been to the hotel twice before and as always were given a tremendous welcome by Sarah and Phil and the rest of the Staff
The food sales went through the roof as Steve filled his face with ice creams, cockles and kebabs in no particular order
The first day's fishing on Princess Pier produced some specimen wrasse right underneath the rod tip, but the weather put pay to the day with very high winds
On Day 2 we ventured to Hope's Nose not a venue for the faint hearted, Mike took the wrong turning going on a wild goose chase with all his gear and Malcolms bait, eventually he turned up minus his gear but with the bait as we were gonna sell Mal some sandeels £30 each. On the day dogfish , bass, small pollack, wrasse and stacks of good size mackeral which went back for the BBQ.In the evening Nigel the barman took us out to a few of his local drinking holes ending up following Steve to the kebab shop. On Day 3 we fished Shaldon beach on the Tynemouth estuary where the weed became a pain in the butt, all that was caught were small wrasse. In the evening we started in the Irish bar on the harbour, where Dennis insisting on upsetting a few of locals by just sitting by them. Phil was a little upset at us for not going to the Hole in the Wall pub- the toys really came out.
Mark decided to leak his face all over the mat of the taxi, it really was an expensive huwwey costing him£30
The following day the fishing got worse, fishing Ness beach which was just full of crab, two small wrasse was the total caught. In the evening we went to the local steak bar and back to the hotel for a few night caps.
Overall a great trip, poor fishing and any suggestions for next year ????
