| Perhaps you havent yet
caught a mullet, but youve heard about them. About
their canniness and the power of the fight they give, of the special skills that mullet
anglers acquire. Youd like to give them
a try, but not sure how to go about it.
Perhaps
you are something of a local mullet expert, but want to share that special excitement of
hooking and landing a specimen grey ghost with someone else who knows exactly what all the
excitement is about.
Well,
what will you get for your money?
Firstly,
there is the magazine. Some reckon that that
in itself is worth the membership fee. Articles
written, not by fishing hacks trying to earn a crust, but by enthusiasts with real
knowledge and a passion for the species; a letters section where the membership can share
their views; news of whats happening around the country and of the issues that
affect our fishing now, and what we can do to protect our fishing in the future.
Then
there are the various get-togethers, where knowledge can be gained and shared.
Some
areas of the country have local groups that meet regularly; for fish-ins, and for a chat
over a pint.
Then
there are the national fish-ins, where members from around the country get together in
friendly rivalry to renew old friendships, fish new venues with knowledgeable guides, and
enjoy the sociability of fellow mulleteers, often convening to a local pub when the days
fishing is done.
The
AGM is always a well attended affair, with guest speakers and presentations of the years
certificates and trophies, and a chance to have your say about the running of the club and
the future of our sport.
Then
there is the list of members around the country willing to share knowledge and to help you
tackle an unfamiliar venue, maybe to catch your first mullet.
Many
believe that the most important reason for you to join is to help in the battle to
conserve this slow growing and late maturing species from the many dangers they now face,
so that ourselves and anglers of the future can continue to catch remarkable specimens
from our own shores.
Convinced? Well why not print of a membership form here attach your cheque and pop it into the post?
You
will be on your way to becoming a member of one of the best and friendliest fishing clubs
in the country. |
