A cracking week this week for Lancashire sea fishing, big tides and westerly winds have certainly brought the cod in with them being caught in numbers from various venues.
Fleetwood and District Angling Club fished their latest match over low water at Five-Bar Gate. This must have been a match nobody had much interest in only six anglers fished. Conditions were good and there were a few fish caught.

There are still a few members who have not paid there subs yet, but as most of these live out of town I am sure they will pay at the first match they attend.
Also a reminder that the cut off date for joining the club championship series is the end of March. Next Sundays match is at Marine Beach fishing from 1.30pm to 4.30pm, fishing for the best flat fish.
Leyland and District Angling Club were out last Sunday at Fleetwood.
