First Post

OK, this is the first post on my new blog - just here to test it works properly.

This is a picture of me with a small whiting caught at the start of this year in a fishing match run by Blackpool & Layton Angling Society (BLAS) along the prom at New Brighton Town Hall Steps.

BLAS run a range of fishing matches throughout the year, both coarse and sea fishing, I'm not sure how much full membership is but it's £10 a year to be a 'sea only' member. Being a member has been great for both me and my wife, Wendy, we've made some good friends and fished all over the country - last year we even won a few trophies and this year has started well with Wendy winning the first match at Fort Perch Rock, New Brighton.
