The Circular - your monthly newsletter

Here is what you have been waiting for.... your newsletter from your fishing club with all the news and views you need to know.
A big welcome to all the new members that joined last month. You'll find out there is something for everyone in this club...if you want to fish against some good anglers you've come to the right place...if you want to learn just ask....if you want a good day out just come along on our fishing outings and enjoy... we can't guarantee you fish but we do go past some good fishmongers!!!

The minutes of the last meeting sets out the things discussed and has all the times of the next match etc. This newsletter gives a bit more info on anything happening since then and a few tips on the up coming venue.

If you get this on time and want some casting practise give Jason Mann a call for more details about the Sittingbourne Sportscast casting tuition on Sunday 4th November.

Hythe at this time of year should be a cracking venue with plenty of fish. Expect to catch loads of whiting, maybe a nice little codling (with cod cup up for grabs) and if you are very lucky a big bass that can be caught close to the shore eating all those little whiting that are being put back into the water. If the whiting are about in plentiful numbers I would use a three hook paternoster with 225 - 300 mm long hook lengths with size 2 hooks (but there again I would use that most times on the beach anyway!!). Try a few luminous beads above the hook, a little thumbnail size piece of squid or mackerel or herring on the hook tip and you'll be catching all night long!!

Those codling will be hungry so if you want to target them you'll need plenty of lugworm - a 4 -6 " compacted length of lug worm squeezed onto a long hook length some 600 mm (24") long fished on the sea bed. Leave it out than the normal 15 - 20 minutes ...say 30 minutes to give them time to find the bait and let the struggle begin to bring in that record breaker.

Don't forget that we are currently fishing for the Harold Hammond Winter Trophy which is awarded to the angler catching the greatest aggregate total length of fish during the October, November and December, you've got to be in it to win it so I'll see you on the beach.

If you have any queries, you are not sure about anything or you need to know something phone me on the number below and I'll do my best to help.

I'll see you on the beach
