We need as many boats as possible! So if you can possibly bring one please contact the organizer, before the event and let us know that you will be bringing one along.
Conditions and Safety It will be cold so warm suits are a must. Please bring a lightweight waterproof jacket to keep the wind off you while in the boats. Your own flask of warm drink might also help.
The tide will be slack for the first three hours then will be running to the east for two hours before slackening off again. If you want to get out of the water before the event ends a safety boat will be on hand to run divers back to the ramp. All divers must register their end of the comp on leaving the water.
History. This is the best time of year for fishing Bognor as the bream shoals move in attracting large shoals of Pollack and Bass. Expect a winning catch of over twenty fish if conditions are right. Watch out for Boats including Yachts, as there are several launch ramps and sailing clubs in the area.
