Days Pleasure Fishing.

Myself, and Dick Lewis met up at Drummonds Dubb. We got out of
our vans, looked at each other, shook our heads, and laughed.
What the hell are we doing. Its snowing, the water looks like an
Irish mans cup of tea.Fair play no wonder 99% of the population
think we Anglers are nuts.
Anyway we gritted our teeth, and said lets do it. At least the
walk to the pegs warmed us up.If we would have fished the road side,
we would have had about a 3 yards walk.But no, we decided to fish
a couple of pegs that we dug out on Sunday. Hence the bleeding 100
yard walk. When you ain't got a trolley it seems forever.
Any way less of the moaning,
Got to our pegs,and decided Dickie would use the Feeder,and i will use the pole.
Snowing, no gloves, pole, result bleeding cold hands.
Set up the pole, and found a nice depth at 13 metres, about 6 foot.
Sorry can't say what bait, as there might be spies reading this.
Dickie was into is first skimmer while i was still plumbing up.
When he told me, is voice was as shocked as my expression.
We fished for 3 and a half hours. I had more fish on the pole, than
Dickie did on the feeder,but Dickies fish were a better stamp.
So it turned out a better day than we thought. I had about 8 pound,
mainly roach, with a few skimmers thrown in.
Dickies weight was the opposite, he had mainly skimmers with roach
thrown in, for about 10 pounds. I think all in all it will be a good start
to the series on Sunday. The anglers are all good silverfish anglers, so i
must rank 14th out of 14 who's fishing it. Oh well whats money, easy come,
a lot easier to go.

Here's a couple of pics of our fish, and below them is the series, and anglers
fishing it.

to cause this we don,t know. The small fish which are normally abundant ,failed to feed,

ANGLERS TOGETHER.

IMPORTANT: NEW VENUE AT CAMPOVERDE!


The Friday Campoverde meetings will now be held at Mary’s Bar/ Restaurant.
Taking CV925 going inland from Pilar de la Horadada turn right at the first
roundabout into Pinar del Campoverde, then first left and following the slip road,
up (past Fibber McGees and Lounge Bar 6) until you get to the next parade of shops.
Mary’s Bar is 3RD or 4th unit up.

The next meeting is on Friday February 5th at 12 o’clock.

The Puerto de Mazarron meetings remain at Los Galayos Bar/Restaurant on the Paseo
alongside the beach. Next meeting is Saturday 6th February at 12 o’clock.

Fisheries report: work continues on the River Segura in Murcia City but is still
fishable in areas away from where the work is being carried out.
Embalse de Pedrera water levels are rising again as water is being pumped in.
At Benijofar, bank clearance is being carried out on some stretches.
Sweet Water: both roads at the side of the river are still covered with all the mud
that has been dug out, leaving very little access to bank side.
Also the banks are at quite a steep angle so a ledge will be needed to be cut out
for placement of a tackle box.

Anglers Together continues to grow as a club with firm friendships being formed
over the last 3 years.
Many members fish together regularly and report they are pleased they have taken up a sport
they once followed in their youth.
We have the occasional organized outing but the main aim is to introduce members
to find fishing companions and to assist in finding the venues.

The joining fee is €10 for new members and €5 for renewing members.
If you are interested in joining or finding out more about Anglers Together,
then either come along to one of the meetings or contact

Dave. (Alan is away on his annual trek to Oz).
email: anglerstogether@gonuts4free.com or tel Dave Hoare 968 199 279.
