Torbay Shield Results
Eight teams, fished this the event (2 teams could not make it)
there were 4 shore zones at Branscombe 1 zone at Sidmouth and 1
boat zone out from Beer.
Fish caught from the shore zones included Plaice, Garfish,
Mackerel, Wrasse, Doggies and Whiting. Out in the boats
there were Bream, Wrasse, Doggies, Pouting etc.
Points were awarded to each zone where each team member could
weigh-in their best specimen only. I believe that nearly
all competitors in all zones caught fish, so all in all it was a
good day for most.
At the presentation Sidmouth SAC were awarded the first place
with 37 pts (see picture) 2/ Honiton SAC 34pts 3/ Paignton SAA 31 pts 4/ T and B ASA 28
pts 5/ Budleigh 24 pts 6/ Brixham SAC 23 pts 7/
Cormarants 17 pts and 8/ Teignmouth SAS 14 pts.

That means that

respective areas.

Conger Comp.
Torbay Angling 10th
Annual Conger Competition.
This year attracted over 100
competitors from as far afield as Falmouth, Somerset,
Sidmouth and beyond, yet again proving its popularity.
The weather forecast was not
favourable, with an expectation of strong winds and
rain. Fortunately the annual free soup run helped to
blot this out.
Plenty of reports were heard of
bites felt but fish lost. At the final whistle, only
two Conger Eels had been caught.
1ST Prize - went to
Jason Prior from Cambourne in Cornwall. Jason won
approz £600 in top quality fishing tackle, plus £200
cash.
2ND Prize
- was won by Ashley Brooks from Brixham.
Ashley won £450 in tackle plus another £100
cash.
