gr8 news lads the amount of anglers pledged to attend has reached 30
and i am expecting a lot more before the event please tell all you meet about it as not every angler has a computer.
I will be giving a reel and a few other bits of tackle towards raffle or prizes if anyone else is going to bring prizes please let me know.
i will also bring my stoves to to make bacon sausage & beefburger cobs
to give away for a small £1 donation to the cause any other ideas would be most welcome (Steve)

The numbers attending the Huttoft meet are growing each day it should be a huge event with anglers from all over the country pledging their support. A magnificent Trophy and prize for biggest fish also a raffle with a prize list as long as your arm. I have had other ideas put forward for the event and will consider more such as a casting competition all those wanting to take part please let me know a.s.a.p so i can get an idea of numbers and can decide if it is viable.
The event is open to all from top class anglers to complete novices any disabled or less able anglers will be pleased to know the beach is very accessable and plenty of help will be on hand also free tuition will be available for all that want it anyone willing to help with that side of things will be most welcome.So come along and enjoy a great day out for all on the 24th jan 12 noon.

We have been asked for more details of the venue and how to get there hope this helps if you google in (huttoft, alford, lincolnshire
NG13) it will take you to sea lane carry on up the lane untill you get to a staggered junction go straight on to the beach,we will be fishing to the right of the little hut.
with regards the venue you'll be fishing into clean sand which is very mobile therefor any features/holes can change from tide to tide, best to have a look at low water on the day.
good size whiting and flatties are the main stay, there's been a few cod starting to show but are a bit patchy at the min.

yellow tails, blow lug and frozen black are the usual baits and can be tipped with squid or mackerel, rag worm tipped with a small piece of mackerel will also work, 50yrd - 80yrd out will put you into fish however a bait at distance can also pay off.

the only tackle shop close by is is fishing 4 u at ingoldmells 01754874950
