I'm trying to get hold of the person(s) who runs the Babbacombe Sea Angling Association. Anyone know who I need to contact? or can they contact me on 01803 291 215 please.

This Weekends tide times for Devon has been updated.

I went fishing last night down on Babbacombe pier and I've never known a night so quiet. I was there from 7pm to 2am and didn't catch a single thing. The only saving grace was Andy came down from Exeter and he didn't catch anything either. We both decided to leave it until the weather warms up a bit because since the cold spell the catches have gone down considerably.

I was prepared for the cold weather last night. As well as the Penn suit I wore 2 pairs of thick socks and for my head I was wearing a thermal hat with another on top. Much warmer than last time :)

To all parents there are fears of a child-stalking "taxi driver" may be at large in Torquay after a girl was "spooked" by the man.

It seems the Police force miss me as they are trying to recruit more Special Constables. When I first joined in 1994 there were 120 of us in Torbay. That has dropped down to 34. The burn out rate affects the Special Constabulary just as much as it does the regulars. If anyone fancies it then contact the numbers on that link or if you want some personal experience about what you get to do feel free to contact me for chat about it. It is a very rewarding way of spending your spare time!
