When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
Following concerns raised by members regarding interactions between anglers and rowing crews on the Exeter Canal and River Exe, our Head Bailiff, Max Bygraves, recently met with representatives of the University Rowing Club to discuss the issues.
The discussion was constructive, and the club has indicated that where damage is caused by its members, they would be willing to investigate and consider responsibility where appropriate evidence is available.
Members are encouraged to report incidents involving damage to fishing tackle, unsafe behaviour or other concerns. Where possible, please record:
• Date and time
• Location
• Details of those involved
• Photographs or video evidence
• Details of any damage caused
• Witness information
This information will assist the Association in raising matters with the relevant club and seeking a positive resolution.
The Association remains committed to maintaining good relationships between all users of our waterways whilst ensuring that members can fish safely and enjoy their sport without unnecessary disruption.
Many thanks to Max for taking the time to address these concerns on behalf of the membership.
Today’s match was held at a very warm Fennick ponds.
It was decided to use both ponds, even though the bottom ponds is badly affected by algae and other floating scum.
First on the top pond, continuing his recent good form was Alan Crouch from peg 6. Alan caught 4 carp on feeder tactics, cast tight to the far bank. A few silvers were added, making his winning weight of 13lb 12ozs.
Second from peg 3, Mark Cottingham had 10lb 8ozs. A couple of carp and silvers once again making up his net.
The bottom pond was won by Graham Davie, from peg 9.
Graham fished a 2 mtr whip to hand, loose feeding maggots, to finish well ahead with 17lb 14ozs. He caught skimmers, roach, rudd and a couple of hybrids.
Second from peg 11, Mark Branson had 8lb 14ozs. All caught on pole fished casters.
The next match will be at S. Peverell on the 10th June. Book in with Rich Howcroft, thru the app.
The carp are spawning at Abbrook and will soon be at other venues too. We politely ask anglers to be mindful of this. It is frowned upon in the angling community to actively target spawning fish. Please act responsibly.
