SOUTH WEST - 

1st leg - Cogden Beach 13/05/24

Seven anglers attended this rearranged shore match. The original planned match for 8th April being postponed due to predicted poor weather forecasts provided by the meteorological websites and local weatherman.
On the 11th May, the start time of the match was further amended by 1 hour due to constantly changing forecasts predicted for the day.

Moderate SSE winds and driving rain was predicted during the match. All anglers were informed prior to the match to bring full weatherproofs and beach shelters to protect them from the adverse weather conditions.

A Risk Assessment appraisal was given to all attendees in the car park and followed throughout the match.

During the match, the weather worsened with wind, rain and sea state increasing. With no fish recorded and with conditions exceeding the predicted forecasts for the day, the match was abandoned at 16:30Hrs

(2 ½ Hrs in to the competition).

All anglers were packed up and back at their cars by approximately 17:00Hrs.

The 2nd Leg is planned for 4th October with the venue being Seaton Beach, Devon.

Anglers were made aware that the first three highest scoring anglers will be put forward to represent the South West Region at the 2025 Sea Angling Shore Finals.

Fingers crossed the weather gods will be kinder in October.
