                         BEMM RIVER ANGLING CLUB EASTER REPORT

5/4/18

Members and visitors were treated to good weather and excellent fishing. A little bit of wind in the afternoon sessions did little to change the quality of the bags coming in.

Bream were taking frozen Prawn, and Sandworm, and most were well oversize.

This has been the most productive competition this club has ever had.

Notable catches were a 44cm Luderick, and an over 40cm Bream, both returned to the water. The use of the Brag Mats are being phased in, with great results.

The Surf produced some big Salmon, Taylor and a Mullet, which turned out to be the winner in the Open Surf Competition.

All sections were secret weight, and we wish to thank our list of sponsors.
