We hope the following pages will be your guide to the Club and a good day's fishing in the sea, lakes or rivers of Gower or Swansea Bay and the wider Bristol Channel.

As  well as online news for local fishing we offer hints, tips and guides to help you with your fishing, along with advice from some of the Club's top anglers.

 

For use by members only we have the very best fishing boat, a Blyth 30ft (10m) catamaran which can be booked for fishing trips to the many productive fishing marks in the Bristol Channel.

Clubs form the core of sea, coarse and still water angling and are places where most anglers strated out, and still to be found.  This is no different for the Mumbles Motor Boat & Fishing Club.

The club is well organised and very socialable with some 200 members, including family members and juniors,  who have a range of interests.  These interests include one species fishing, social fishing, match fishing, and casting.  We are all passionate about our sport of pleasure fishing.

Whether we are fishing from the shore, boat, rivers or lakes we all care about the fishing environment, other anglers and the future of all forms of fishing.  We all  respect minimum fish sizes, conservation, catch & release and angling etiquette.

 

The main activities of the Club are the social Club nights, a programme of fishing events and competitions, and social fish-ins from local venues, and charity money raisers.  Several of the shore events are fished in the evenings and hours darkness.  Usually, an event is stage every few weeks to coincide with the most suitable tides that fall every fortnight.

 

The Club's fishing boat (Oystercat) caters for the boat anglers who do not have their own fishing boat.  Fishing trips on the Oystercat normally take palce most weekends and at least once during the week.  The Oystercat fishing trips depend on suitable weather forecasts and the availability of experienced skippers.

 

The Club doesn't have many out and out match fishing members, we are more a Club of receational and pleasure anglers of various ages and experience who like to get out for some fresh air, loads of chat and to help one anothers fishing tecnique and experience.  Many members do not show a great desire to win taking part being more important, although others may not admit their occasional success is most welcome.

            

Club membership and fishing is usually the best way to learn how to fish interms of tactics and venue characteristics.  Fishing among othe Club members is more informative than fishing alone and learning by mistakes, because you will always have someone to ask and help out.  Club fishing is the fast track to knowledge.

 

Thursday Club night is the place where many secrets are revealed, especially over a pint. Don't be afraid to ask, iniial success is usually about being a copycat.  Not many experienced anglers are secrative, being ubable to help telling all and sundry about their tactics.  Providing you can sift through the tall stories there is alot to be learned from talking fishing and fishing with the Club's best.  Club members fishing together are very tolerant of beginners (adult and juniors) and the more anglrs that fish the more successfull the Club will be.

The plus points of joining a Club will vary from person to person.  Many have joined because of the social side.  Others because they do not want to fish alone or maybe they like the banter at a Club fishing event.  The Club has members who do not fish at all, but because they support the Club in their own way their membership is of benefit to everyone and the fishing community at large.  Membership of the Club allows you to choose how involved your participation will be, and that includes administration and becoming Club officers.
