Subject - Ladies Mackerel & Most Species Competition 17th July 2010 - Results
Conditions were just acceptable on the day to go ahead with this competition. Just 4 ladies took part but they seemed to enjoy the day, which was nice.
Fish were really hard to come by unfortunately, although a good few Pollack and Mackerel were caught.
Carolyn Whiting brought the best Mackerel to the scales at 10.6oz, and Becky LeMilliere declared 4 different species, so she was the winner there. Well done to those who participated.
Next competition is the Interclub with Exmouth Deep Sea Club on Sunday 1st August.
Best two species of each team added together to win the trophy.
More details, if required, from John Astill.

There was considerable interest in the competition this year with 68 entries fishing from dozens of boats.
The result sheet link below shows all the fish that were weighed in. It serves to demonstrate the variety of species available to us. The footnote picture is of John Hall, winner of the competition, and looking rather pleased with himself.

Subject - Conger Competition - Saturday 12th June - Results.
There were 14 fishermen and 8 boats out fishing.
A total of 10 congers were caught in all, 4 over 20lbs, with the biggest being 33lb, by Stuart Green on "Blue Mist", caught on a rough ground mark about 5 miles south of Budleigh.
The early Northerly wind dropped off at about 10 o'clock, which left us with a beautiful calm and hot sunny day, but a Southerly wind started to pick up again at about 3 o'clock, and everyone started to make their way back to port soon after this.

The following is an interesting link to a professional fish filleter going about his work.
Unfortunately some of the videos are is Dutch, but it's still too good not to see. Text on the pages is in English though, and pretty much all species are covered here, from Mackerel to Monkfish to Gurnard, and just about everything else we sometimes catch too.

Subject - Flatfish Competition Results.
Expectations on the day were high. The weather, and forecast was good too.
It was an excellent turnout of 12 boats and 23 anglers fishing. The target fish were Plaice outside of the river, or Flounder in the Exe itself.
Weather during the morning was good, sunny with a light Northerly wind, but in the afternoon we had cloud and a cool Sou'westerly breeze which chopped the sea up a bit.
Despite all efforts only 2 flatfish were landed on the day. A Plaice of 9.4oz from the Sandy Bay area by Tommy Dell, "Popeye", and a Flounder of 14.2oz in the Estuary by Carolyn Whiting on "Devon Maid".
So perhaps not quite the competition we had hoped for, but a good day out just the same.
Latest Accumulator totals will be advised on this web page, as well as under the fishboard in the Brunel Fishroom, in due course.

Subject - Saturday April 17th 2010 - Pollack Competition.

The weekend forecast was for a light, locally moderate, E/SE breeze, so it always looked like our fishermen might be keen to get out and fish on the Saturday.
There was a bit of an easterly swell in the morning, though later on in the day we had sunshine and lighter winds, which was nice too.
8 of our boats, with 15 fishing, was a really good beginning of the season turnout.
However, Pollacking on our inshore wrecks has become noticably harder in recent years, and those fishing did find catching any size of Pollack difficult, to say the least.
Well done to all those who caught anything resembling a quality fish.
To see the winning fish on the day please click here for the Fishing Pictures webpage.
Competition results sheet is below, subsequent to the day's weighing-in.

Subject - SFCC Trophy Presentation Night - Saturday 16th January

Details from our 2009 season fishboard have been collated, and we now know who has won what trophy.
However, all names will be remaining a secret until the night.
As always there will definately be some suprise winners, and along with our special humour awards you can never really be sure of what you may get to take home.
This is always a well supported evening for both fishermen and cruisers in the club, and the more of us that are there on the night the better, obviously.
Dermot Nolan, Cruising Secretary, and John Astill, Fishing Secretary, both put alot of effort into this evening.
Light buffet, after the presentation, will be served.

Russ.
