Bideford Angling Clubs Cyril Petherick Open Flounder Competition was won by Andrew Clements with a flounder of 1lb 4oz. Nathan Clements was runner up with a flounder of 1lb 1.5oz and Stephen Found third with a flounder of 1lb 1.25oz. The twenty two competitors struggled with strong winds and flood water making fishing difficult. Large numbers of small bass were stripping the hooks of bait.

 

ESTUARY MULLET

Liam Stevens fished the estuary, targetting the wily mullet that frustrate many an angler. Liam eventually tempted his prize; a fine 4lb 7oz specimen using bread flake presented in conjunction with a bubble float. The fish gave a great fight and has inspired Liam to fish for them again.

Callum Gove

 

Callum Gove fished the Upper estuary with a baited spinner intended for thin lipped grey mullet and hooked into a hard fighting bass of 7lb 7.5oz. It is not unheard of to hook large bass whilst targetting thin lipped grey mullet and from time to time double figure bass are landed by anglers trying something different.
