MAGGOTS END.


RODS and REELS.

This weeks match was the 7th in the Winter Championship.
A series of 11 matches with the best 8 to count.
The match was held on the Rio Segura at the Eden canal.
With the rain before hand, the river was flowing through with more pace than normal.
The weather was another nice January day with temperatures in the high teens.
The fishing lived up to the standard hard winter days though, with some dry nets.
Jim ( The Chairman ) took things a bit far, as at the weigh in, decided to check
if there were any fish left in his swim as he went in to look.
His comment afterwards was I don´t like water, however it was not that cold.

Top rods on the day.

MAGGOTS END.



RODS and REELS.

The match this week was another open and held on the Rio Segura at the Eden canal.
This being the last match in 2009 we all hoped for a reasonable days fishing,
and for a change we were´nt disappointed.
All anglers caught with reasonable weights for the winners.
In saying that, not all was smooth for several anglers.
Stu Taylor managed to lose his top, 2 sections of pole after snagging on the far bank.
So the next we see is Stuart leaving the venue and watch him drive down the other side,
eye witness accounts state that he spent some 30 mins cutting down the foliage
on the far bank in order to retrieve lost pole section.
Alan Roscoe got snagged halfway across and in pulling his pole to release
from the obstruction he watched his top 2 sections release themselves from his
pole and slowly sink into the river.
Quick thinking, he rigged his feeder rod and spent some 40 mins dragging through
the swim to try to hook the sections.
Lucky for him he did, but after the disturbance it left the swim with little fish
for sometime. Well that´s fishing in Spain for you????.

Top rods on the day.

1st Stan ( The Man ) Roberts.
fishing the pole using maggot and pellet with 7.33 kilo´s.

2nd Harold ( H ) Clarke,
fishing the pole using maggot with 6.83 kilo´s.

3rd Dave ( Yours Truly ) Hoare.
fishing the pole using maggot with 5.74 kilo´s.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Anglers Together enjoyed another successful year with members enjoying both sea,

and freshwater days out.
We also had a couple of day-trips around a lot of the waters in the Murcian region,
also a trip along the river Segura and surrounding area in the Valencian region.
Those who took part found it very useful as it is not always easy to describe which track to take.

We shall be having more trips in 2010 starting with a Trout fishing trip to

Hondon Trucha in February, weather permitting.
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 to rejoin a sport
they followed in their youth. We have the occasional organized outing but the aim mainly
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.

MAY YOU ALL HAVE A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

RODS and REELS.

The match this was an open match, and fished on the Rio Segura at Eden canal. 

It was transferred from Benijofar as the river had overflowed it´s bank there. 

Again, the weather playing a major influence as to where we fish. 

The day in itself wasn´t bad, temperatures up to 20 degrees. 

However come 1 o´clock the wind got up and caused some damage like, 3 people had their poles broken. 

Along with that, Bill ( I can´t get up ) Botting, who brought Jim ( The Chairman ), 

arrived some 1 hour late. Both started fishing and Jim on a good peg, 

caught one of the local animals that are resident in this stretch and after managing to steer 

it clear of the weeds and snags went for his landing net, to find the wind had blown it into the river. 

Undeterred he guided it to the bank to hand net it, only to find in the last moment a quick 

swish of the tail,  and it was gone. 

Jim has since written to Father Christmas and asked for a landing net with a magnetic handle, 

so it will stay firmly attached to his box !!!. 

Winners on the day.

1st Stan ( The Man ) Roberts fishing the pole using maggot for 6.080 kilo´s.

2nd Paul ( Poco Loco ) Baxter same method with 4.400 kilo´s.

3rd John ( aka Johnny M ) Marsh same method with 2.700 kilo´s.

SHORE and BOAT FISHING.

A few members spent each week during November/December fishing off the beaches around Mazarron 

without catching anything to talk about.  

They used bread as the bait and would have expected to catch good size Mullet at this time of year, 

but that was not to be.

Boat fishing at the start of November was good with several fish caught from Dolphin fish to Trigger and Bass, all large enough for the dinner table.  

However, at the end of November the fishing was poor with a couple of small rock fish caught.

That time of year has normally been good fishing for both boat and beach so we can only continue 

each week and see what happens.
