View Full Version : 29th September W.Sussex/ SAS Autumn Intercounty Invitation Fun Meet
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After much agonising, soul searching, cross referencing and tide searches we're pleased (delighted? relieved? excited?) to announce a date for the friendly comp between ourselves, DAB, HHAC, TE and anyone else who'd like enjoy a fun days fishing. It will be:
Saturday 29th September on Widewater beach
This is a lot later than we would have liked but I hope you'll all agree the reasons are sound. We wanted to clash as little as possible with other events, have a good tide at the right time of day and not have too many bathers/holidaymakers getting in the way.
For those that don't know it, the Widewater is a reasonably long stretch of beach with free (that time of year at least) parking, toilets and should provide a diverse list of species to target.

The tide is a big one (6.87m) and we envisage fishing from about 10:30am to 4:30pm.
Rules will be similar (if not the same) as the West Bexington comp in April, but the emphasis is most definitely on FUN and a social occassion. We will endeavour to have some kind of catering available and there will be opportunity to meet for a beer or two later and even move onto the West Arm later in the evening for the hardcore anglers amongst you
We will update with finer details as we go, but I'd be grateful if all interested parties could stick to this ONE thread for the benefit of all and the forum. Firm confirmation of all arrangements will be posted here a week before the event should there be any need for a judicious venue change because of weather or better fishing prospects.
Any questions and I'll be happy to answer as best I can. Stick the date down in your diaries, cancel the late holidays and come and join us for what we hope will be a memorable day
my type of place Jason put me down for that one can try out my new carbon metal.

If you go and look on the South Forum, Mesito has updated the thread with some further details of the SAS organised meet - breakfast before, food after, plus the pub later.
This is not my meet this is mesito, I only put this on this forum as he asked me.
He has also said that there is beer and food
sounds fun to me Jason, I think I'm OK for that weekend, especially if food is involved
have you fixed a date for the south/southeast return yet mate?

This meet is involving teams, so do we want a team essex and team kent or just a team south east. If im not working then I am going to fish it.
Good luck to everyone who attends this meet. Alas i will not be able to make it due to my daughters birthday party and my wifes birthday running side by side. going fishing on either of those days would certainly lead to divorce. :)

As long as you make the Deal match, I will forgive you

I've got a bigger motor now and as I can make a small detour towards the Southend Area I can take three others, if we can arrange one place to meet.

Anyone got any idea what the tide pull is like on this beach, is it worth taking light tackle and 2 & 3oz leads or will it need 5 oz plus and beachcasters?

Defo worth bringing light tackle but as its a big tide so over the top of the tide you'll probably need 5oz. You will get away with 2-3 oz a couple of hours either side of the tide, especially for fishing close in, but it might be a bit weedy which will bump up the amount of lead you'll need. I'll be bringing beachcasters and bass rods and seeing what its like on the day.

Thanks Mark, that's what I hoped

well done you who fished , was going to pop down in the day but it got mental at home here . got a boat out of dover next week and then the biggie at deal ,
Although we didn't win the match, the weather was decent, the conversation on the way to Widewater made up for the crappy weather on the way down. As soon as I parked the fishmobile the rain stopped. The beach was great with lots of little gullys within casting range. Two new species a mullet and a bream, decent food before the comp and all for a good cause. And thanks to Alan T decent scenery on the way home.
Sometimes it isnt the winning that makes these comps worth doing.

By the way, how came we followed Alan, although I must admit, I was sure he had a good sense of direction, Must think about it if he is skippering a boat next, might end up fishing at London Bridge!:unsure:
You big Pussy! :kissing:
I sort of hinted at fishing and she just looked at me as if to say "you bloody dare", so i didnt! LOL:blink::):giveup:
Yeah well done guys, not a bad result there! Nice 1.

I know I took the wrong turning I should have taken the A27 instead but it still only took me 1 1/2 hours to get home and it was quite nice scenery for a change.:bleh::bleh:

we ended back on the Gatwick road, not sure how it happened but we all got home safely.
