Shore Competition held at Budleigh Salterton, 22nd June 6pm - midnight. It was not the best of nights. On our arrival the beach as fairly busy with families, this made for some interesting happenings.
The competition was fished in a moderate to stiff easterly breeze. Fishing was slow with most of the fish caught in the last hour. Both Jo westlake and Steve Marsh were unlucky, Jo catching a conger eel which was just under size and Steve catching two bass again both of which were just under size.
6 anglers fished and 11 fish were caught, 3 different species: Pouting, Tub gurnard and Dogfish.
Best fish went to Tim Mitcham with a dogfish of 1lb 5ozs.

About us
BDSAA is a small local club that meet at the Dolphin Hotel offering an informal focus for Sea Anglers in the area, we maintain a membership of about 40 people. We fish from both the shore and boat approximately once a month (next dates and venues on our “Fixtures page”). Primarily a species hunting club we concentrate our fishing to the greater Lyme Bay area in the main, but do venture out if a member has a particular wish to fish a specific venue. We regularly fish against other clubs, mainly those from East Devon i.e. Honiton and Lyme Regis, but would always welcome hosting a visiting club for a match. Check out our Cup Competitions. For Club record catches click here.
The club has been in existence since 1965 when it was simply known as the” Beer Fishing Club”, over the years it has kept to the same format of being informal, friendly and welcoming always of course maintaining it’s base in the beautiful picturesque village of Beer.
Our membership is drawn mainly from the Beer and Seaton area, however we do have members living as far a field as Taunton and Crewkerne in Somerset. Download a membership form in either
