Take Me Out Fishing

11/06/2026

We are looking for volunteers and sponsors to help run/organise and execute an open memorial Smalleyeds competition along the North Cornish coastline beaches around the Bude area (widemouth - northcott mouth) for Peter Howard around September/October.
If this is something you could help run with us or sponsor please drop us a message as we would like to make this happen and looking for information on how to run an efficient friendly open with help!
If you can or know anyone that may be able to help it would really appreciated if you could put them in touch
We have had a couple of offers of engraved trophy and some fantastic prizes already 🤝🏻

Many thanks

Ben Mckeown & Andrew Proudfoot

🎣 Memorial Fishing Competition for Peter Howard 🎣
As many of you will already know, we recently lost Peter Howard. Peter was a familiar face on the North Cornish coast and had a real passion for fishing the beaches he loved. He will be greatly missed by so many.
To celebrate Peter’s life and his love of sea fishing, we're considering organising a small memorial beach fishing competition, focused on the local ray fishing that he enjoyed so much.
Before we start making plans, we'd like to gauge interest from the local fishing community.
Would you be interested in taking part in a friendly memorial event on the North Cornish coast? Please let us know in the comments or send a message if you'd like to get involved.
🎣 A chance to remember Peter, share a few stories, and enjoy the fishing he loved.

Tight lines, Peter. You'll be missed, but never forgotten.
