HSAC Trimmingham March 29th |

By Robert Ford & Dene Conway After a week of strong Easterly winds we were concerned if the venue was even fishable. If it wasn’t then try Weybourne or Kelling. Trimmingham is one of the types of places you don’t want the swell to be to big because you won’t be able to get on the beach. Even if you can, you still have to cast well into the horizon to even to get a sniff of a fish. The aim was to hit the gullies that lie about 50-60 yards off the ends of the groins. Hope that a few spring codling are still about and the weed wasn’t going to destroy the fishing. We arrived about half way down on the afternoon tide and the beach was starting to fill up with pleasure anglers. There was a good swell on the water which created a little white water but also helped to show up the gullies. The first few casts were difficult to hold bottom with the tide ripping though and some weed going with it. It seemed that the majority of the weed was in the breakers and if you left your line in them it would soon look like a washing line and be pulling your gear on the beach. One usual Lucky HSAC angler, Golden Bollox’s, managed to hold bottom on the first cast and was rewarded with a 39 cm codling.He managed to hold bottom on his next two casts and was rewarded for them as well, yes, more codling and bigger ones at that – the largest 50cm codling. So at the end of the first hour Mr Ives was 6lb odd up on the rest of us.
As the matched progressed, reports that John Neave had also achieved a similar looking score card filtered through but he was 1oz behind golden bollox’s. At this point our thoughts turned to Mr Thomas who had gone way left from the car park, as you see from the results he just went for a nice walk. Meanwhile I had landed my first codling at 47cm and had great enjoyment parading it round the Conway HQ further down the beach. A little while later I was pulling in my second 47cm codling when I heard a scream from Conway HQ, well Mrs (I will show you how its done dear) Conway pulled in a 49cm codling. She also took great pleasure in telling me “mine is bigger than yours”. After asking members of the public to wind are-sole man up I thought that picture of him would sum up his day… cheesed off or what!
But good things come to those who wait and Dene managed to pull in a codling the same size as his wife. To mine and every one else enjoyment Nicole only went and pulled in a second. What’s that I hear you say Dene, “I must be a good teacher!” Meanwhile Richard Ives had lost a few sets of gear (so had a few other club members) and a couple more codling in the surf but managed to land one more before the day was done. When we got back to the cars and weighed in it was 1-2/3oz that separated Richard and John with four codling each, I was third with two codling and a rocking and fourth place who else… Mrs Conway with two codling. An excellent day for all with good numbers of codling and it made a change from one or two dabs. I very much doubt that next week is going to be the same but there is no harm in trying… until next time fishing fans. The results 1st: Richard Ives 4 fish for 8lb 1 2/3oz
