With 2012 behind us, I thought it was time to publish the final standings of the year so we can all strive to better ourselves for 2013! It's been a good year for the club with some beach competitions attracting more than 20 anglers, and boat events with 6 or 7 boats entered. These figures are a big improvement on recent years and long may this increase for the club continue. The fishing on the whole has been good in 2012 with some lovely smooth hounds caught from the boats as well as some good rays. The beach whiting were around this autumn, albeit not quite in their usual numbers but there were some decent flatties caught including two specimens!
2012 also saw the introduction of the Herons 1st annual roamer competition all thanks to Dave Mann's contribution and consequent suggestion to mark the Queens jubilee. Lets hope this event is as successful in 2013.
Finally, I would like to quickly thank Dave for all his hard work with the club this last 12 months as well as our President, Kevin Morris for his efforts throughout the year also. Furthermore I would like to thank Mike Turner for his upkeep of our website and to Wendy Dinley for her continued administrative support. Without this kind of help our fishing would truly suffer.
All that remains for me to say is happy new year to you all and tight lines! Ben.
