Absolutely!! Makes them all very happy when new faces show up. And they are a real fun bunch to lose to!

See you on the 3rd Feb chaps. Gonna take a drive over to Chesil for the WSFC (used to be DAB) hosted gathering on the 20th. Fancy getting me DVice out in anger!

Thats the rule he broke :crazy:, other rules are no overhead casting on the top deck and no leaving rubbish.

[Mark_S]

Thanks for posting these up, Schuey!

Other rules for all matches are 2 hooks max, any bait allowed.

looks like i'm going shopping again

[1MoreFrank]

How much is the entrance fee ?,or do they all vary ?,and are they done on a catch and release system??

[Sussex Schumacher]

How much is the entrance fee ?,or do they all vary ?,and are they done on a catch and release system??

All club matches are £10 to enter .... the Goring Beach Open is usually slightly more. Generally the matches are sizable fish in a bucket of water and weighed at the end ... most species caught survive ok if looked after properly. If someone catches a fish which they want to return immediately (e.g. Mark S had a 2lb 8oz bass), they can be weighed and returned straight away. I dont mind weighing fish if people wish to return them. If matches are fished when smoothounds are a likely catch anglers must weigh and return the fish before they cast out again.

[1MoreFrank]

Ok cheers, count me in.

[fishyrob]

Hows it looking for Sunday Mr Schu? Has the Worthing weather sensors picked up any imminent typhoons, or should I go and get a few reds in the a.m.?

Chesil from Saturday evening till first light Sunday, off to Steyning for casting, then climping....? Ok, count me in. But be prepared to wake me up before you all go off.

Wot - not you usual new thread, Schuey?!

I'll be there, and if the weather's good I'll wear my famous shoes...

[Ollie Jay]

and if the weather's good I'll wear my famous shoes...

Lets hope the weathers good for the fishing then and with the added bonus of seeing the famous shoes we could all be winners....lets hope there's a stinger or two there.

Not sure the shoes count as a bonus, Ollie! As for the stingers - I've never caught one so would love it if one or two come up even if its someone else who gets it. I assume they count as round rather than flat fish?

Yes a Stinger is classed as a round fish.......may try and make this one...peelers pending.:)

After tonight pratice session at Climping, tomorrows match will definetly not be held there. Tons and tons of weed once tide started running and was totally unfishable. East Preston was also very bad tonight. With bigger tides tomorrow it will be almost impossible to fish during any tide run. Only good thing was there was plenty of mullet on the waters edge but not interested in feeding.

Will have a word with the organisers in morning and will see wether the match will be cancelled or a new venue is chosen. If it is cancelled and people have got bait for it there is a shoreham match monday evening 7-11pm which should be weed free if people wish to fish it instead .....

P.S ... Mark_S you should turn your phone on more often :mail2:

[Sussex Schumacher]

It has been decided to move the match along to Bognor beach. We'll meet up at the bottom of the road at Climping at around 6pm then leave for Bognor at 6-15ish.

After Climping yesterday we fished Bognor for an hour and had a dog, few pouts and a lobster. Someone futher along ad a few sizable wrasse. Still have a chance of a stingray here as well as a bream or two. But the main thing was it was fishable , unlike Climping.

So anyone wanting to fish should meet at the bottom of the road at Climping at 6pm.

Seems we've had an inland match ..... :bleh:

No ideas at all, Schuey. Not been fishing since the last Shoreham match. Wherever there's no weed would suit me! Wouldn't have minded joining you but got my sister coming round for a meal tomorrow night! Be interested to see how you get on...Might get up early and go mackerel bashing Shoreham way - still not caught one yet this year:sad2:

[Sussex Schumacher]

Worthing's next match is this sunday, 15th June , due to be 7pm till 11pm.

Meeting place i'm told will be as last time, Climping Car Park at 6pm ish and we'll decide from there ... maybe have to find some hungry hounds again :fishing:

[Ollie Jay]

find some hungry hounds again :fishing:

Find some hungry hounds?.....again?.....didnt find one of them at all myself last match.....maybe i'll get the right peg this time round!

[fishyrob]

Pssstt....... ANyone want any crab for this one....? Got a few spare, softies (my hound favourites) and peelers. 50p a go. Need to reclaim some fuel costs cos its a 160 mile round trip to this spot.

So I take it that your trip to Climping last night with Ollie was not a 100% success?

A hungry hound match sounds fine to me - though like Ollie I never had one last time!

At climping yesterday you could fish within 50 yards and be seaweed free, chuck it any futher and you got weed, though where we fishing if you chucked it you were on rocks, perhaps the weed was just clogged up in that area ? Ad a couple of schoolies each.

[Mark_S]

Well done, Schuey, on your second successive Worthing match victory last night at Bognor. Happy Shopkeeper second. Bit of a pout fest though Schuey also had 2 dogs, HS also had a wrasse and a lobster and Ollie had a dog. We left Fishyrob valiantly fishing on in search of an elusive hound - any joy Rob?

How did the EP match at Shoreham fish?

Billy won with 7 sizable bream.

[fishyrob]

Dick all for me. I finally started to get Pouting attacking my bait, but left at 12. I reckon that moon was the reason.........

Well done David. Could you tell me weights and who cos I will put a very brief report in my diary.

Did you guys see that sailing ship? When the foreground was alll dark and in shadow, and the ship was catching the last ray's of the sunset? I tried to take a picture but my camera is poo for distance stuff.

I won with 2 dogfish and 7 pout for 4lb 0.5oz
Happyshopkeeper was 2nd with 11 pout and 1 wrasse (12oz) for 3lb 6oz.

I had heaviest round with a dog of 1lb 6.5oz, Ollie had 2nd heaviest dog.

Think steve had an undersized ray, maybe an undulate ?

Shame it fished so different to how it did just two weeks ago.

Aha!! The old Worthing one two.... Tolerated the recent fortunes of East Sussex coin grabbing long enough......!

Should you be chatting to the Happy Shopkeeper, could you tell him I got something he wants sitting in my fridge, and to give me a ring if he wants it.

Having watched him obliviously and fortuitously avoid taking out a couple of cyclists last night at Shoreham, I reckon a voucher from specsavers is what's needed, though why fishyrob would keep that in the fridge I cannot imagine - unless its for really cool specs.

[Sussex Schumacher]

I'm pretty sure you would want it Mick........... :unsure: Although it might be a bit blue for you.....!

If its what i m thinking, the Happyshopkeeper loves watching them types of DVDs (XXX action , too hot to handle , thats why its in the fridge ?) - :hypocrite

[Sussex Schumacher]

The next Worthing match on Sunday, 29 June, 18.00 – 22.00 is planned to be fished on Shoreham Beach. Likely to be a few mullet, bream etc which like recent matches will be weighed and returned straight away.

Will confirm details nearer the time :thumbs:

[fishyrob]

I'm hopefully coming to play. I like shoreham beach... Especially when the spiders should be in full moult. Fingers crossed......

Nope, not a DVD, not glasses.

One problem has arisen with this choice of venue, at the start of the week it was deemed unfishable due to the beach being covered in weed, todays strong winds wouldnt have helped at all. Winds are suppose to be breezy next few days so kite surfers could also be a pain in the @rse.

One club member is going to try the area we plan to fish and see if it is possible to fish and let us know what he thinks.

It has been suggested that IF the shoreham beach area is deemed unfishable the match will be moved to White Horses area and fish from 7pm till 11pm.

Will update when i know all the facts.

What's wrong with White Horses?
Ah yes, no whiting there for you to catch at this time of year! :schmoll:

[Sussex Schumacher]

It has been decided the match will take place on Shoreham beach sunday and the match will be from 7 - 11 pm. Meeting spot is the by the Burrells Roundabout , presumably from 6.15ish and take it from there.

Will the Highwayman definetly turn up now and donate his £10 to a worthwhile cause ?

Must admit I am in two minds now. I will come and play if I can find some maddies!

I think it may be a struggle for you boys down there. One of my sources said the weed was a nightmare even down the arm today.

Ooh dear, did they catch anything other than weed ?

Suppose if it is too bad on the beach , we could move it to the arm or pier as a last resort ? not up to me and still think beach is the first choice.

It seems the only place that is relatively weed free is Worthing Pier

[Bally]

No mate, the weed was being chucked up onto the arm by the swell and was ankle deep in places i'm told, they didn't stay to long. A few decent fishes were caught middle of last week though:secret:

..... big long grey things which eat crab i heard :whistling

[Bally]

Yes, biggest was just under 16lb on monday night. Went down tuesday at stupid o'clock to see if it was true, you never know down the arm! Had a couple, lost one at the net and missed a screamer. the biggest that came up was about 8lb.

[fishyrob]

There was an eight pounder off the marina today. Weed wasnt too bad at all, but I just popped down the inshore, and the slight increase in wind has bought a lot of weed with it. I've given up after an hour and a half of it. Real shame, as the surf is about as perfect as it gets!

The only beach I can think of that doesnt seem to have a weed problem is Seaford!

[Sussex Schumacher]

Some of the organisers have tried fishing Shoreham beach where the match was planned to be held and found it to be totally unfishable due to huge amounts of weed in the water. This and other peoples reports of up to 20 feet of weed in the water , on the waters edge has meant the match has had to be switched to Worthing Pier.

so meet up on the pier 6-15pm ish, £10 to enter etc. Fishing from 7 - 11pm. See you there.

Chance of bream, hounds, eels, maybe a dog or a bass.

East Prestons match which was due to be fished tomorrow has been cancelled as well because of the volume of weed around.

[Mark_S]

If the EP match has been cancelled then maybe it'll be a bumper turn out on the pier. Have to try and beat Baz to the spiders tomorrow!

A tricky match…go fish in very close for small eels or go for it off the end and hope for something better or that the first hounds of the year would turn up.

The hounds did show up with just over an hour of the match remaining,Colin managed to hammer out 6 and a pout easily winning the match with just over 40lb,2nd was Fishyrob with 2 hounds for 14/15lb,fortunately I kept my eel which together with 1 hound took 3rd place (an angler with a bigger hound lobbed his eel back as he thought it would be irrelevant…eh Simon?....he won’t do that again).:boxing:

Best hound was 8lb.:thumbs:

[Sussex Schumacher]

Didnt Colin have one of over 9lb ?

[hot wad]

Didnt Colin have one of over 9lb ?

Could of done Schuey...i was fishing next to him and weighed a few of his hounds,it was a busy last hour with crab parts flying around,hounds coming over,drop nets being deployed etc....bloody pier fishing!:bangin:

[fishyrob]

8lb 13oz I think. Thats what I put in my diary anyhow!
Barry is back in town soon, so knowing that he will keep the East Sussex flag flying, I will be missing the next one. Need to have a break, and allow the HS to keep building his pension fund..... ;)
Awesome display from Colin Carey. That guy should fish for England!!!!!

[Sussex Schumacher]

Worthing's next match is this Sunday, 13 July 18.30 – 22.30, Venue to be decided ....... if wind drops (suppose to be), and weed and sea conditions arent too bad Goring has been put forward as a possibility . Tides are very small so weed shouldnt really a problem if the sea is calm. This is only a suggestion for a venue at this stage.

All matches are £10 to enter and open to everyone.

[DJM]

Any news on a venue, i live in worthing, never fished a match and was thinking of coming along to see what its all about.

[Sussex Schumacher]

Another suggestion for a venue is shoreham beach ... does anyone know what the weeds like down there at the moment ?

Will update when i know full facts for venue choice

[Mark_S]

I'd prefer Shoreham - doubt the weed situation will be much different to Goring/Ferring but at least it won't be solid brick all the way along!

[DJM]

Is the Pier an option?????

[Sussex Schumacher]

Is the Pier an option?????

We always have the pier as a back up option for all Worthing matches.

[Sussex Schumacher]

If shoreham is fishable and the water is as it at the moment , barring a chance of smoothounds in the half hour of darkness, what other sizable fish is there to catch realistically ? At Goring you would get eels and dogfish throughout. I dont mind where we fish though .

[Mark_S]

Fair point, Schuey. But still get eels over Shoreham, maybe a bass or two, slim chance of a mullet even in the dirty water, flatfish. Yes, dogs would be harder to find but that would be counterbalanced by lack of snags.

Oh well, I'll fish it wherever it takes place.

if its not full of weed then ferrin /goring would be a good bet... dogs and eels but the trouble is CRABS.. .... i doubt many people have any so would it be possible to make it NO CRAB ...... even it up if you like... lugwoerm,rag and fish bait would be good..... its only a small affair anyway.....

I havent got any crabs at the moment and prob wont unless i find any tomorrow. No hounds have shown at all this week from Worthing Pier, just tons of dogfish and a few eels, spiders ave disappeared this week as well. Dont think you can ban crabs at this stage as imagine most people will already have got some just incase ?

Looked at Goring yesterday the beach seemed !!! totally clear of weed, it gets bad from the pier heading eastwards. Will ave a few casts down there in the morning and see whats its like.

there hadnt been any hounds on the pier had there before the last match .... looked wat happened .... the winds supposed to drop out ,,, i bet theres hounds about at goring/ferring sunday for the choosen few with crab... as its only a small affair why not making it crab friendly??? theres another comp at e/p sunday as well it looks like i may donate that way aqlong with someone else!!

But if you believe its going to be won with hounds the only bait you'll need will be crabs. Also the spiders turned out in force the same day as the last match and were only caught on the pier head. People inshore used spider crab and caught 0.

Good luck to you and your friend at East Preston, but the fish you believe to be around and getting caught are the ones your not allowed to use the proper bait to catch em :hammer:

i believe yes theres a good chance of a hound ,,, at the other match you cant use crab full stop .... but other baits like rag will still take um if there present.... everyones on a level playin field there schuy..... like i said previous id rather fish worthin match, but as ive no crab i aint gonna fish against blokes that do have ...hav a nice day..

[Mark_S]

Sympathise with where you're coming from Highwayman - got no crabs myself so wherever it is I'll feel a bit hamstrung, especially Goring. Will have to go a-hunting if I can find some time. Got no mackerel or lug for that matter so either way gotta try and fit some bait collecting in this weekend. If I stumble upon a load of spiders I'll let you and Schuey know!

[Sussex Schumacher]

Sympathise with where you're coming from Highwayman - got no crabs myself so wherever it is I'll feel a bit hamstrung, especially Goring. Will have to go a-hunting if I can find some time. Got no mackerel or lug for that matter so either way gotta try and fit some bait collecting in this weekend. If I stumble upon a load of spiders I'll let you know!

I havent got any crabs either at this stage (will look tomorrow) but where ever the match would have been held, crab would ideally be the bait you would want. If i dont find any i will still go. :fishing1:

If we had decided at the start of the week to ban crab that may have been agreed but if others have already (?) spent their time this week getting some for the match we cant say they cant use it.

[Sussex Schumacher]

Never know, everywhere might be as weedy as **** and it could be another dogfish bash on the pier :fishing1:

Weed was no problem at Goring this evening. Pier threw up some unusual results today!

[Sussex Schumacher]

Match is confirmed for Goring beach on sunday, will be 7 pm till 11pm . £10 to enter.

Meet up along the Plantation (grass area west of sea lane cafe) in the road 6-15pm ish.

[DoubleShotDamo]

Highwayman, you want crab banned because you don't have any spare to fish with? So you want the rules to be changed so there is more of a "level playing field"? Cobblers! You want crabs banned because you know you ain't going to get a look in if you fish without them! It's lucky that everyone else doesn't adopt your attitude in the winter matches on the pier when you have a bucket of whites....or you'd be fishing alone.

Shame on you! :nonono:

[Ollie Jay]

Rats and double rats for me to.....lol aint got any crab not even frozen!!! grrrr if i cant get hold of any may have to give this one a miss....least there should be a few fish there though and latest reports seem to show its fishable which is a bonus!

Good luck with your crabbing mark and feel free to pm me if you find any :thumbs:

[DJM]

Sorry not done any match fishing, but fancied coming along to see what it was about...

Just a quick few questions.

are there any specific rules, i.e. two hooks?
How do you record the weight/length of your fish? i.e do you have to keep them in a bucket till the end? then weigh and release.

Does someone verify your catch etc.....

Thanks

normal rules are 1 rod with 2 hooks max. as the match is now on the beach the fish likely to be caught are hounds, dogfish and eels. If you catch a smoothound it will be weighed and returned straight away. Eels keep ok in a bucket till the end. If you want to return your fish straight away you can weigh them then return them. Somebody close will have a set of digital scales and will write the weight down for you. Fish must be above minimum size limits which are bass 41cm, dogfish 38cm, hounds 51cm , all eels count etc.

[hot wad]

No crab :sad: (i need a hug).

[Sussex Schumacher]

No crab :sad: (i need a hug).

If i told Colin to find you some spiders would you do it then or are you a none spider user as well ?

[DJM]

Thanks for the info sussex s, so are there desingnated people that weigh the fish or is it if someone is available?

Sorry for all the questions, just never fished a match and rather know what im doing before in there...

3 or 4 of us have got a set of digital scales and will spread them out equally between anglers so people dont have far to go to weigh their fish so they can return them.

[hot wad]

If i told Colin to find you some spiders would you do it then or are you a none spider user as well ?

No,i don't think it wise to compete against normal crab with spiders....i shall go try and catch fish with no bait at EP instead.

Thanks though Schuey.:thumbs:

is it person with the biggest wieght over all that wins?

But he has lots of crabs,some will be ready and need using as they won't hold for next weekends big do.(not a great fan of spiders)

I have also learnt not to bet with you (you bloody buzzard) so you will need to find another sucker for this weekends side bet action.:thumbs:

[Sussex Schumacher]

is it person with the biggest wieght over all that wins?

The person with the biggest combined overall weight of sizable fish is the winner. Depending on number of people fishing they should also pay out 2nd place and 3rd place. The biggest flatfish, biggest round fish, and most sizable fish also gets you in the money.

Oh bugger! I was just so miffed at not managing a hound and cos I knew a few had been caught I assumed that plenty of others would have had hounds and eels and four piddly little eels hardly seemed worth the bother! Have to try and make up for it at Shoreham tonight.

So what was the 123?

I arrived late and watched from peg 20 where I had 1 run but it dropped it. Another non competitor had one hound of 7-11 next to me.

Nice to have met you last Saturday Mark. What fun we had getting cut to shreads under the pier! Got plenty of the blighters now as the Masterbaiter gets up at 4am to fill the bucket.

We didn't fish the match, but got the odd bend in the rod close by. Our luck much the same as the boys in the match it would seem.

Sand has appeared back in my favourire spot, so we'll have another go soon.

Although i don't know what the weather is up to for the match.....

Do the Worthing club have any restrictions regarding gars (numbers of)?

Scales on the beach for mullets?

[allybongo]

i think it used to be 10 gars
good idea for the mullet as they dont keep that well in a bucket

[fishyrob]

Looks like I will be coming to play........ Need to stop being completely thrashed on the beach by you Worthing pirates...............

[Mark_S]

I'll be there to liberate another hard earned tenner. Weather forecast for this week ahead is horrible, so it'll be interesting to see what conditions prevail on the day.

Could possibly make this match fillet, sorry i meant catch and release

Worthing have an old rule of 10 fish limit on certain species (gars & scad) , not sure wether it applies on beach as well as the pier.

Will find out soon what the boss thinks, would people be against catch and release on everything ? (bar macks which dont count regardless)

Asked today and was told it was still Shoreham beach

[Sussex Schumacher]

Out of interest who still intends fishing the worthing match tomorrow currently scheduled for shoreham beach ..... just wondering incase of "unfishable conditions" tomorrow which may mean a change of venue is necessary so we can let everyone know IF the venue is altered.

The match is still currently planned for shoreham beach with the forecast predicted for tomorrow.




* The East Preston's club match tomorrow is also being discussed as well regarding the venue of their match.

Today was certainly close to unfishable at Hove but tomorrow's forecast is for 15mph straight westerly compared with today's 25mph southerly so could be just about Ok if the weed's not to heavy. I will probably go for it if it's on at Shoreham.

It was pegged to the west of the church,11 fished,Billy B.won with 2 eels and 2 small bass(c&r),the german cobbler was 2nd,2eels,Hsk was 3rd,1 small bass,consequently you got a result by not turning up.
Your mate Judge kindly put in an appearance to donate to the fund:clap2:

[yeti angler]

So what's the likely target fish on Weds? Bit tricky to go digging so I'll have to be selective with bait.

probably gars:hammer: and scad, there might be the chance of a codling or a flounder aswell. the usual schoolies will probably be present aswell.

[Sussex Schumacher]

Remember the match is the usual 7 till 11pm.

[fishyrob]

Barry and myself will be in attendance. Looking forward to it....!! Nice to be back on the pier.

I'll take the fiver on highwayman also......!!

Thanks, Gars & Scad will suit my bait collection fine, had a scad at dusk this evening at Hove beach (+bag full of mackerel). Sea was extremely clear in the North wind.

[Sussex Schumacher]

Bring a clipboard and pen later as if everyone agrees, scad and gars will be measured and then returned (unless they want to keep them) but must be sizable.

[Sussex Schumacher]

The next Worthing Pier match is on Sunday 12th October, 7 – 11pm :secret:

[fishyrob]

So, 9lb bass or will it be a scad fest.........??

[Sussex Schumacher]

So, 9lb bass or will it be a scad fest.........??

Could be anything in the next match ? Would expect a codling or two to be caught, odd whiting, maybe a rockling or doggie ? If water clears right out should be odd scad, mackerel, and still anything I mentioned before.

[Ollie Jay]

Hope its not a ten scad rule again.....Thought the last match was pretty crap with that.....id say not even bother counting em. anyway don't why im bothered about it have almost decided not to fish it after shuey telly me he has it in the bag already! lol

[Mark_S]

Agree on the scad, Ollie. If Schuey reckons he has it in the bag already he must have a secret weapon. I expect he's been consulting his computer again to recall last year's corresponding match?

Fancy a side bet on this one, Schuey?

[Sussex Schumacher]

Fancy a side bet on this one, Schuey?

oh go on then ! no more than £50 though, you decide the stake ? :clap3:

[Mark_S]

I was thinking about £2 as you well know!

[Sussex Schumacher]

I was thinking about £2 as you well know!

Oh well I suppose so :1a::nerd:

[fishyrob]

Is that the match where you blanked Ollie......... ;) I liked the scad. They release well, and sit in a bucket much better than mackerel. But I must admit, if the scad are there in the numbers they were last time, I'm gonna do what Ollie did and fish for a big bassy. With live scad. Which I will have weighed, before putting it on my hook. Which I intend to be a trable, Does that fall foul of the two hook rule? Technically the third hook is a bait retainer, as it will be buried in scad. Adjudicator plz?
Can I get away with it as I will be in Czech for the xmas match..... :(

Oh, and I'll take the £2 on Schuey to win. Unless someones gonna give me 100-1 odds, in which case I will bet it on me......! One take, and I do have a drop net....

[JudgeP]

If Schuey reckons he has it in the bag already he must have a secret weapon.


From what I hear it's live prawns.

[Sussex Schumacher]

Old One Lob Bob is currently match favourite for sundays pier match , he had 2 codling on there today, best of 5lb he says

[allybongo]

myself and dimasi will be showing r faces! is the water still dirty??

[Sussex Schumacher]

myself and dimasi will be showing r faces! is the water still dirty??

Is at the moment. His codling was confirmed at 5lb 1oz.

Should be a good match on the pier, even better once the pleasure anglers get chucked off when the security guards come round to lock up.

[Barry]

I'll be there to add my £10 to the pot

[Sussex Schumacher]

Next Worthing match is Sunday, 26th October 19.00 – 23.00 on the Pier - normal "pier" rules.

Force 4 forecast at present, so not too bad. You'll be down in the dumps whatever the weather though, Schuey, because Chelsea will have taken three points at the Bridge.

[yeti angler]

think ill show my face for this one:spiteful: money permitting of course:doh:

[fishyrob]

Well, what a fantastic match that was. Just goes to show that when you get a combination of decent tides, decent colour and decent anglers there can be some decent fishing to be had. And a monster (conger) lost, after possibly being hooked twice!!

Big thanks to Steve. Just finsihed eating the whiting he donated to me after the event (he had three nice ones) and I must admit I forgot how fresh whiting are one tasty dish. The mrs is very satisfied so I might be in later. And he gave me his left over bait (as did Sussex Schu) So, although I didnt get in the prize money (my mere 8lb odd being way outside the frame) once again it was a pleasure to be fleeced by the Worthing Sea Angling Club!

[Mark_S]

You'll be down in the dumps whatever the weather though, Schuey, because Chelsea will have taken three points at the Bridge.

Words eaten and humble pie swallowed. Not only was I wrong about that match but I was also wrong about the pier match, and Schuey took money off me in our side bet.

Oh well at least I didnt rub it in too much :clap2: You took Chelsea's defeat very well - think you realised before the football match started you were going to get beaten by the scousers and therefore had no real hope of getting anything from the game though i'm sure you wont admit it.

Apparently that conger was hooked into 3 times last night :fishing1:

P.S .... Short Rod .... you left behind your rod railing type rod support thingy, i will bring it to next SAS match ..... found it on pier earlier.

[allybongo]

what was the result of last nights match then??

[Sussex Schumacher]

what was the result of last nights match then??

Think Darren won with 17 or 18lb ? CarpyKnight was 2nd and was 1lb behind. Think Hotwad was 3rd and Snowy 4th ? 20 fished.

[JudgeP]

Any more details on the catches? Species, weight etc?

Dissapointed I couldn't make it but also had no chance to get decent bait. Tried Hove instead for a couple of hours with Squid, Slippers & a few sandeel as bait. Couple of decentish whiting + a dogfish and an almost respectable thornie @ around 2lb.

To be honest I didnt take much notice as i **** out again but it was mostly whiting and dogfish, at a guess i would say a dozen codling caught upto 4lb 11oz ? Few big pout for barry, saw mark had an eel. Also the lost conger which was almost netted :fishing1:

[deldiablo]

well that was a fun match and great to see a lot of forum members .Thoroughly enjoyable and loads of fish .well done to boy band and unlucky to graham for losing the monster conger !:clap2::clap2::clap2:

I will let Graeme know. Pretty sure he will try to land the first one!

[allybongo]

i think your find that there has been congers landed b4 of the pier

Not in my lifetime there hasn't.

[fishyrob]

Not in my lifetime there hasn't.

Not sure if I can make this one. Flying out the country next day. Real shame, cos I would have had a go on the conger. Pretty sure it could be done, even if it has to be walked to the beach. Small chance I will get there though.
If I do come DD, will you be there, cos I still got your silly spade and I guess you might be needing it this time of year?

Spade? Not mine Rob. Mine is hanging up in the garage itching to be used!

[fishyrob]

AAAghhhhh........ Right, someone out there thinks I am a spade tea-leaf.......... Apologies, but my memory isnt what it was. Well, actually, I seem to remember it was always bad, but I'm not sure, as I cant quite recall........

Anyone missing a silly spade?

Have been asked by the organisers to politely remind "pleasure anglers" that have planned to fish the pier just because the Worthing club have a match on, they will be chucked off regardless of who they are, when the security guards come around to lock up. The Worthing Club are allowed to fish there as they get permission from the council, pleasure anglers have no permission to fish the pier once the pier is locked so if anyone fancies a "pleasure fishing session " down there dont expect to be on there very long.

will fish this one. hopefully the end will be locked up, no more doggies:clap2:.

[Mark_S]

Agree - just can't get any fun from catching dogs. I seem to recall it was pretty much this same match last year where we were up the top deck while the others were all doggie bashing. We were first and second with codling and bass with you snatching the spoils after I failed to knock off your match winning fish while netting it!

[Ollie Jay]

Has to be a top deck job id say....hopefully it should make a better match with not having to target the dogs or draw a small number to get on the end! Think who ever wins though is gonna have to have a big weight as shuey is thinking of walking away with this one....his even getting a practice sesh in down there in the morning! should be a good turnout again though with these conditions...and a fair few fish about.

I havent fished this morning, nor even looked down there :headhurt: You won the last SAS match so you should rightly start as match favourite.

Remember not to park in the parking spots just slightly west of the pier , you'll get a ticket . :bangin:

Again the conger strikes twice !!!! Is nobodys bait safe ? (mine and Mark_s's are for sure) :fishing1::laugh:

Tell me more??? Same spot? Was somebody going for it with adequate tackle or was it a bye-catch? Can Worthing Club get permission for an overnight Conger hunt?

Colin tried to catch it after Mr Snow had 2 takes which i think resulted in snapped snoods fishing from the end I believe, if he should read this perhaps he will be able to reveal all

Had 2 bites in two chucks about 50 yards of the head, both resulted in short tussle with a very decent fish which unfortunately had decent teeth! :bye2::bye2::bye2: Both bites on mackerel intended for dogs.

The Happyshopkeeper has been going through the attendance records to see who has currently met the 10 matches required to be eligable for prizes at the xmas comp .

Below is the anglers name and the amount of matches they have attended so far ...... there is one match left before christmas comp that count towards total .

S.S = 18 matches
M.P = 17
Mark S = 16
Monty = 14
Fishy Rob = 12
Barry = 12
Ollie = 10
Billy = 11
Colin = 11
Judge p = 10

The following two can still qualify with one match to go

Snowy = 9
Highwayman = 9

others who have attended cannot reach the 10 matches required ..... anyone who believes their total is wrong let the happyshopkeeper know and he will recheck for you.

[Sussex Schumacher]

The next pier match is this Sunday, 23rd November at the earlier than usual time , 18.30 – 22.30 . £10 to enter etc.

Hey Schuey, looking back at your original post it says that you must have fished 10 matches to be eligible for entry to the xmas comp. Just out of curiosity, does this mean that anyone who turns up at that match will be told to sod off if they haven't fished the requisite number or will it be an ordinary match with extra xmas prizes restricted to those who qualify?

[fishyrob]

Can we trade attendances....? Unfortunately,I will be in a land far far away for the xmas match........ Psst.... Mick, swap you four attendances for 20 frozen crab. Cant play on the pier this Sunday cos I will be driving back from Chesil with a bucket full of cod and a grand in me hand......... ;)

Well good luck down Chesil way, Rob. Missing the next pier match, missing the xmas comp and making shameless overtures to Team Frank - is Worthing losing it's lustre?

[JudgeP]

Thanks for the attendance tip Schu, I'll try and make it for this weekend, even though the forecast is a bit nippy, to say the least. also any tips on what's likely in the conditions? Or do I just bring a rope, steel wire, 10/0 and a lump of mackerel?

I do like the sound of the Meridean club, cos they play on my beaches up this end. And look at the results from that last match. More matches on Brightons beaches are needed I feel, to showcase what many old timers here already know, that they can throw up good catches when they are fished well!

But Worthing Pier matches will always be special...... ;)
Wherelse can you pitch your wits and cash against such a high standard of angler, if you dont live near Mr Kipper.....??

Simon, 150lb mono should do it. Its only a wee one........

should be whitings, few flounders, maybe a rockling , if water stays clear could be odd gars ?

No arguments on that score from me, Rob. When I lived in Brighton and fished the beaches regularly I was always amazed that given how many fish I caught how few anglers there were!

Will get full clarification on the ruling on sunday. I know that to qualify you must have reached your 10 matches BEFORE the Xmas comp.

The next Worthing match is a week today , Sunday 7th December, 16.00 – 20.00 and scheduled for the Pier.

£10 to enter etc.

If the weather is reasonable I will see what the chances are of moving this match to a nearby beach as at the last match people had trouble finding car parking spaces and expect the usual pleasure fishing crowd will be on there.

If theres any change i ll post it here.

[Sussex Schumacher]

As the Weather/winds look reasonable for sunday, the match is very likely to be moved to west worthing beach.

Meet up point is suppose to be Marine Gardens beach shelter (approx mile west of pier ) , about 400 yards west of Grand Avenue, is free parking along here so you wont have far to walk.

Much better idea - trying to park down the town at 3pm on a Sunday in December will be impossible.

[Sussex Schumacher]

Just a reminder that the Worthing match tomorrow is to be fished on West Worthing beach , 4pm till 8pm. Book in at the Marine Gardens beach shelter around 3-15pm.

[Mark_S]

Glad to see latest edit on the first page, Schuey. Now Seaview Road beach shelter for Worthing beach matches instead of Marine Gardens.:thumbs:

Any idea when the fixture list for 2009 will be out? Only asking so I can start thinking about dates for the SAS Summer league.

[Sussex Schumacher]

Reminder Worthing match this sunday 4-30 till 8-30 pm for the 11 who qualified for the xmas match.

Not sure where its to be fished yet as it depends on wind but you will still need baits for flounders and probably whiting wether its on the pier or beach again.

[JudgeP]

Any confirmation of tomorrow's venue?

[Sussex Schumacher]

Any confirmation of tomorrow's venue?

Hopefully Worthing beach where we fished last time, meeting point at the beach shelter at sea view road (where you fished last time) , if the wind is too bad and the beach is considered to be a waste of time it will get moved onto pier.

[yeti angler]

there was a fair bit of weed about today (saturday) on the beeches, was going to fish the beech but the wind got bad and weed was aplenty, so moved to the pier, had 3 whiting 2 flounders 2 slugs and a codling of 2lb 10oz's few more whiting came up and a bass of around 2lb.

[Mark_S]

Well done to Schuey, who won the last Worthing match of the year with a flounder and a whiting for 1lb something. As well as scooping the money for winning plus best flat, best round and half the most fish pot, he also got first dibs on the xmas prizes. Fortunately he didn't go for the prize I wanted and I also actually managed to come away from a Worthing match in-pocket which makes a nice change! Back to normal for me I expect for the next one on Jan 7th....

That was probably one of the worst matches we had in terms of numbers of fish caught. :dry: At least Billy didnt win even though he thought he had even when he arrived at the weigh in :whistling

Well done to everyone who attended matches this year and the organisers for running a good club :drunk:

[Ollie Jay]

was a very bad match yes but well done to the money takers....only saw three bites all night and missed two of them....most probably schoolies and managed that small rockling! oh well thanks to the organisers throughout the year for running the matches and i look forward to what i hope is a better year for me match fishing in 2009!
