Fishing Trip - 10th May 2008 |
|
When the club was first established
in 1950 it was called The Mengeham Rythe Fishing And
Sailing Club. A fishing section has recently been set up again.
On their first major trip 12 members chartered a fishing boat.
On a flat cam and sunny day they all enjoyed a successful trip
catching a variety of fish, some of which, due to their rarity
were photographed and put back safely into the sea. |
