Tackle Frenzy - Anglers Club

Do you enjoy pleasure angling BUT take your fishing seriously? Since opening in late summer we have served and become friends with many anglers from the South Devon area and what is apparent is that the South Devon anglers are amongst the most friendly people around. We also know that many anglers enjoy fishing in different locations and do not necessarily want to be tied to a set of waters.

Like most anglers we ourselves enjoy talking fishing, making new friends and learning new tactics, We also enjoy the challenge of trying something different so the concept of a Tackle Frenzy Anglers Club is that it is open to ALL anglers across ALL angling disciplines with opportunities to try different fishing with help and instruction from like minded friendly anglers.

We are not necessarily looking for a dedicated water (however if you do have a lake that you wouldn't mind clean & tidy anglers fishing please let me know) as I think as members would rather fish different locations and of course for sea fishing there is a great big expanse of salt water with an hours drive of hear that is free (for now) for us all to fish. When fishing together the idea IS NOT to match fish but to enjoy fishing with like minded anglers having a laugh, learning new skills and most importantly making new friends.

The idea is not to form a club like Newton Abbot or Exeter but a club consisting of anglers (hence the name Anglers Club and not Angling Club) looking to expand their friends, their knowledge and more importantly their enjoyment of the sport. There will be no prizes, no "most improved angler" or pressure to catch more fish than anyone else. The idea for a Tackle Frenzy Anglers Club is just that, a club that like minded anglers can join, fish together when they want and perhaps have a bit of a get together on mass once a year, a Christmas do maybe?

Why Tackle Frenzy Anglers Club? Well, we serve many local anglers and can act as a focal point where anglers can meet, discuss tactics, baits and venues and the Tackle Frenzy web site can act as an information station with a dedicated forum where members can discuss all things fishing. There are no fee's to join as the club does not own any facilities, it is just a group of anglers sharing a common interest, fishing, and if there is a need for somewhere to meet then a local pub has offered the use a room when we need it. At Tackle Frenzy we have the facilities to issue membership cards and to keep a database of members. We can also co-ordinate the monthly venues and members that wish to fish. Any day tickets required will be purchased at the venue and not through us (unless of course we sell tickets for the chosen water).

The Tackle Frenzy Anglers Club was formed in January and all anglers are welcome to join. We will be holding a meeting of anglers for those that wish to attend on February 21st to agree on the guidelines for fishing with other club members and below I will outline ideas put forward so far. Come into the shop, bring or e-mail a mug shot of those wishing to be members and we will issue your membership card and membership of the Tackle Frenzy Forum as well.
