A blustery Sampford Peverell was the venue for the latest Over 55s match. First from peg 5, Graham Davie weighed 16lbs 2ozs to win. The majority of Grahams catch were 2 carp, one of 8lbs 8ozs and a second weighing 6lb 7ozs. Both caught from the margins on worm hook bait. Second from peg 1, Julian Brown had 11lbs 8ozs, featuring a carp of 6bs. Feeder tactics proved successful. Third from roadside peg 11, Rich Howcroft returned 9lbs 2ozs. Again a carp of 8lbs making up most of his weight. The next match is at Abbrook on the 16th, book in as usual.
PLEASE TAKE YOUR RUBBISH HOME – A REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERSUnfortunately, a carrier bag full of rubbish had to be collected from around the ponds at Sampford Peverell today.We work hard to maintain our fisheries and provide pleasant, safe places for our members to enjoy. Leaving litter behind is simply not acceptable and creates unnecessary work for the volunteers who give their time looking after our waters.This is a reminder that every member is responsible for leaving their peg and the surrounding area clean and tidy.Please take everything you bring with you home – including food packaging, drinks containers, line, hooks and other fishing-related waste. If you find a small amount of litter left by somebody else, we would also really appreciate you picking it up where it is safe to do so.Although today’s issue was at Sampford Peverell, this reminder applies to all Exeter & District Angling Association venues.Our fisheries belong to the membership and their condition reflects on all of us. Please respect the waters, the wildlife, other anglers and the volunteers who look after them.Leave nothing behind except your footprints.Thank you for your cooperation.Exeter & District Angling Association
⚠️ A quick safety reminder to all membersWith the more unsettled and stormy weather we can experience at this time of year, we’d like to remind everyone to take a few moments to look around — and particularly above you — when choosing or arriving at your swim.Strong winds can weaken trees and cause branches or limbs to fall, sometimes without much warning. Before settling down to fish, please have a good look at any trees around your swim and consider whether there are any overhanging, damaged or obviously unstable branches that could present a risk.🌳 If something doesn’t look safe, please don’t take the chance. Choose another position and let us know what you have seen and where it is.We can then inspect the area and, where necessary, arrange for appropriate work to be carried out.We look after a lot of water and rely on our members being our eyes and ears. Reporting potential hazards helps us deal with problems quickly and keep our fisheries as safe as reasonably possible for everyone.Stay safe and enjoy your fishing.— Exeter & District Angling Association
