3rd March 2023  – Trophies & Records

All members are reminded that although now in the interests of fish preservation, we no longer routinely weigh fish caught at a comp “weigh in”, trophies etc are still there to be claimed, and records still exist to be beaten. So when fishing on a boat or the shore bear in mind any of the trophies listed below – get a photo of fish caught weigh it and record it if you think you have a claim then submit it to either the Secretary – Shore sec or Boat sec for forwarding onto the trophy manager Tim Mitcham or direct to him please.

Claims for AT specimen fish may still be made direct to the AT or again via the relevant secretary.
