Bristol Channel Federation Of Sea Anglers

Founded 1961

Results of the “Open”

 

Well, we were blessed with the weather. Fine, if a bit on the chilly side after dark, but overall a good day.

 

A good attendance. Over a hundred on the day, and there must have been nearly that many back at the weigh in.

 

I always measure if we have put on a successful match by the feed back that invariably comes my way, and glad to say that I have had no adverse comments.

One big bonus for the Federation was the input from three lads from Bishops Lydeard. Courtney, Rob and Rowland and also Patrick Jones of Weston SAA.

All of the above helped us set up and get the anglers through the preliminaries of booking in with no hanging around and it has to be said that without them we would have struggled.

 

Last year, West Coast and Watchet mucked in and helped make the event a success. Hopefully a pattern has been set. History has shown that we need you lads to help out on the day to make things easy for all concerned. I don’t really want to go back to the bad old days when we struggled to put on a show.

 

Thanks have to go also to all who supported us in the form of the raffle. Probably the best we have ever been able to muster, and this was due to the generosity of Birnbeck over 60s SAC, Clevedon Pier, Burnham Angling Centre, The Fishing Tackle Man, Scooby Doo Too,Thyers tackle, Thatchers Tackle, all of whom added considerable weight to the main sponsors, Shimano and Thatcher’s Cider.  Add to that the generosity of Graham and Marie at Oliver’s for supplying the main Prize table.

 

To all of you who attended, our thanks and we hope to see you again next year. There will be a new H.Q. We will be using the Hobby Horse in Minehead. It has a very large room, good food I have been told and plenty of parking. Match parameters will be exactly the same…i.e. Blue Anchor to Minehead.

 

So to the results. As you know, the event is conservation orientated and all results are calculated by length.

 

Three trophies were up for grabs on the day.                                                              

 

1 The Browning, for teams of ten from a club. Winners with a brilliant overall team effort were Weston Outcasts

 

2 The HTV trophy for best nominated specie (Cod) – Steve Pettitt of Weston Outcast.

 

3 The Mustad Hook trophy for juniors – Brandon Pettitt of Weston Outcasts.

Prior to the presentation Don Metcalfe took the opportunity to welcome Nigel and Jayne Bracey.  Nigel is Brand Manager (Game/Sea) of Shimano, and we are very happy to report that they have agreed to sponsor our Fish of the Month award.  Good to have you around Nigel.

 

To those of you who attended the event…our thanks, hope you all enjoyed the day. Sorry not all of you caught. If it’s any consolation, neither did I or a few more besides for that matter.

 

For those of you who didn’t come, well I hope we meet up next year.  I look forward to it.

 

Regards and Best Wishes

A cold North Easterly greeted the eleven teams who decided to brave the elements, only to find that the fish, on the whole were nowhere to be found.

Only lads who caught in size fish were Clive Silverthorne of Clevedon Breakaways who came out top man on the day with a Flounder of 6oz, and Patrick Jones of Weston, who weighed in with a Five Bearded Rockling of 5oz. Not a lot, but in the conditions on the day, you have to say well done to both men.
