Pike Fishing

With a change in the weather together with the colder nights and the arrival of some serious rain conditions have improved for the club to allow Pike fishing to be allowed from this weekend. Please remind yourself of our Pike/Predator rules. Please note that drop shotting is currently not allowed but we are looking into this form of angling for possible inclusion. For the same reason Flourocarbon leaders are also not allowed when pike fishing.

Jubilee Lake Update

Sadly the levels and dissolved oxygen in the lake are still well below normal. For this reason the lake must remain closed. With the weather changing and the rain starting to come its hoped that this situation will be resolved sooner rather than later. As before Jubilee members are still allowed to use Mulsey. If you are a junior you must be accompanied by an adult.

We have however suspended the ban on keepnets and the half way weigh in for formal club matches. Please remember that keepnets must only be used for silver fish outside of a match. Our preference as a club is to not to use a keepnet outside of a match.

Any carp or Pike caught must be released as soon as possible but we now will allow weighing and pictures to be taken.

Our aerators are now being removed from our lakes and being stored for use next year if needed. Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time

Memberships

The club has now reached its maximum number for this season 26/27. Memberships are still available for Jubilee Fields only and can be purchased from our clubmate membership portal

Jubilee Fields

The club are pleased to say that our friends at Billingshurst Parish Council have completed rebuilding a number of platforms at Jubilee Fields. They have done a splendid job and we are very grateful for this work as no doubt will the anglers that use them.

ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR

If you encounter any Anti Social Behaviour at any of our waters this should be reported to the Police. Sussex Police have a reporting site that you will find on the internet. This is a link to the site and also easily found using Google etc.

Most important to keep yourself safe and not to tackle the issues directly.

On this site the Police advise in extreme circumstances-

Report immediate danger or threat to public safety

If someone is seriously injured, in immediate danger, or if there is a threat to public safety, please call 999 now.

Billingshurst Angling Society is a very friendly and well established club with a variety of waters to suits all tastes. Specimen Carp fishing, miles of relatively untapped fishing on the non-tidal Arun, pleasure ponds and a thriving match scene. The fees offer incredibly good value for money and on some of the river stretches you may not see another angler!
