🎣 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.
