29/07/2026 Lost bite alarms at Hamsey…Seat box attachment found at Hamsey…set of wheels found at Decoy…

Welcome to the new-look Notices section. Instead of individual notices that are replaced when we add the next item, we’ll be simply adding them to the noticeboard so they stay visible for longer. Off we go, then.

• A member left three Pro Logic bite alarms and receiver at Hamsey on 22nd of July. If you’ve found them, they’d love to get them back. Drop us an email to enquiries@hassocksangling.co.uk and we’ll put you in touch
• Someone left a seat box attachment at Hamsey. If it’s yours, please drop Steve Pead an email.
• We’ve found a set of wheels left behind at Decoy. drop us an email and we’ll re-unite you with them.
• The track down to Wildings is now open so you can drive down and park at the bottom. In addition the causeway has been repaired and the water levels are back up to where they should be.
• Members trying to fish at Oldmans are still going down a private road and the owner is understandably not happy. To find the entrance make sure you drive down Common Lane until you see a sign by a large gate right next to the road that says Averys Oak Farm. That’s the entrance. And please don’t park by the containers. There’s plenty of space elsewhere. Thanks!
• The maintenance crew keep finding braided hook lengths caught in trees or strung up in bushes, especially at Wildings. A reminder that no braided hooklinks OR Bolt Rigs are allowed on company waters. Bailiffs will begin asking you to reel in from time to time to check your end tackle.
• If you fish More House Farm, the procedure for getting into the fishery has changed. Please watch the video on the More House Farm Facebook page here.
• Again we have to remind you to ALWAYS PADLOCK GATES WHEN YOU LEAVE a fishery.
• If you find a broken lock at one of our fisheries, please call Roy Fisher on 01444 235978 so he can replace it. Padlocks are the best way of keeping out poachers, so help us out by letting us know if one’s broken. And always lock the padlock again when you leave. Thanks!
• After consideration we’ve decided to re-instate the Parking Permit and these have been emailed to all members. Please check the Spam/Junk folder of your email program if you haven’t received yours. These should be displayed on your car dashboard whenever you fish a club water. Just right click on the permit image with your mouse and then save it. You can now print it out in colour or black and white – either version is fine. Thanks!
• Can we remind all disabled anglers using Decoy that they must shut and lock the barrier when leaving the car park. Thanks!
• Please note that we no longer have access to the stretch of the Adur upstream of Wineham bridge. The landowner is selling the land.
• “Magic Twig’ rig – this new carp rig is currently not permitted for use on any Hassocks water until we’ve had a chance to evaluate its safety properly. Please don’t use it – there are plenty of other ways to catch a carp!
