Baywater Anglers November 2025 Schedule
Just a reminder that our new club year started on the 1st January, 2025 so club subs became due then. I hope that you enjoyed your year with the club and would like to join again and, if you would like to, would be grateful if you could please get them in to the club as soon as possible. However, if you do choose not to renew, you will be missed! Please note, the exception to the paying of subscription fees is if you joined the club between October and December 2024. If you did, then you will get deferred membership with no further subs due until January 2025.
For reference: People can pay subscriptions into the club account directly by BACS transfer. Name of (Nationwide) Account = MR ML GREEN, Sort Code = 07-12-26, Account Number = 01970399. If you do, could you also please email me so that I can put the subscription on the club accounts.

In regard to events, if the weather looks dodgy and an event looks in danger of being cancelled then you can phone me on my mobile number 07704 602180 beforehand to confirm. It is also my hope, over the next few months, to film some more fishing videos. If anyone from the club would like to be involved in that, please let me know. Your help would be much appreciated.
Upcoming Boat Trips (Last 2 of the Year):
Time: 8.30 am 4.30 pm, Venue: Pick up at Kingswear, Event: Reef fishing on African Queen, Cost: £60.00, Loan Tackle available on request, bring your own bait.
It would be lovely if as many people as possible come out on our boat trips. They can be great fun but we need at least seven people to cover the cost of the boat. Unfortunately, we are running at a small loss at the moment - £120 but this could have been worse. One person cancelled on the morning of the last trip and, despite myself and others on the boat kindly paying more than originally requested thank you again to those that did the club had to subsidise his place to the tune of £60.00. (It is not fair to book the trip but then let the skipper down. If the weather is bad, that is a different matter.)
PLEASE NOTE: The night before the trip, contact me on 07704 602180 to see if it is able, because of the weather, to go ahead. After 7.00 pm, when the weather has updated, is best.
Events
Saturday, 8th November, 2025 Time: 4.00 pm to 9.00 pm, Venue: Dartmouth Esplanade, by the Cannon Event: Social fish and teach-in for adults and juniors High Tide: 8.05 pm, Height: 4.8 m. Training Focus: Legering.
(Sorry for the late notice. Between juggling hospital appointments and bookings, the last two weeks have been a bit interesting!) Anyway, I thought that we could have a go with beachcasters, just to see whats around. Tony had a couple of nice bull huss on the last trip while Rafa and I had strap congers and whiting. Mackerel and squid bait probably best but you will need 5 or 6 ounce weights to contend with the tide. I have also just released a video Refining the Running Leger which might be helpful.
Sunday, 16th November 2025 Time: 8.30 am 4.30 pm Venue: Pick up at Kingswear Event: Boat trip - Reef fishing - for adults and juniors High Tide: 12.38 pm Height: 3.9 m, Cost £60.00.
It is a small tide - perfect for the reefs so we are going to have a go for some bigger fish, like spurdogs, smoothhounds etc. You will need to bring along your own peeler crabs, squid, mackerel or blueys etc, depending on what you fancy trying out. For tackle keep it simple a running leger with short, 60 lbs trace is as good as anything or paternoster tackle for smaller species. However, if the reefs end up not being productive, we will try something else. Bring an extra fiver in case we move further offshore and we need to chip in a bit extra for petrol.
Sunday, 23rd November, 2025 Time: 4.00 pm to 9.00 pm, Venue: Slapton Sands Event: Social fish and teach-in for adults and juniors High Tide: 7.44 pm, Height: 4.4 m. Training Focus: Distance Tackles.
A reasonable tide for beachcasters and long range tackle, just to see whats around. Ragworms, mackerel, squid, sandeels, lugworm and peeler crabs probably the best bait.
Saturday, 29th November, 2025 Time: 6.00 pm to 9.00 pm, Venue: Brixham Laboratory (Phone me on mobile 07704 602180 when you arrive so I can let you in.) Event: Prize Presentation and Social evening for adults and juniors.
I would like to make this a really nice social evening. If everybody could please bring something for the buffet, that would be lovely. Please come, even if you are not a prize winner, since there will be food and games available. (If you would like anything in particular included, please let me know.)
Saturday, 6th December 2025 Time: 5.00 p.m. 9.00 p.m., Venue: Blackpool Sands Event: Social fish and teach-in for adults and juniors High Tide: 7.09 p.m., Height: 4.8 m. Training Focus: Legering.
Hopefully there should be small spotted catsharks, bull huss, congers, rocklings and whiting around with the possibility of some bass turning up too. Ragworms, mackerel, squid, sandeels, lugworm and peeler crabs probably the best bait.

I thought that we could have a go with float rods and LRF tackle, just to see whats around. If they overwinter, as they have the last few years, there may be some mackerel around as well as wrasse, pollack, whiting etc. Ragworm and mackerel strips probably best.
Look after yourselves!
