Maldon Angling Society

Our main agent JP Tackle is now open on Sunday mornings between 8am and midday for memberships, keys, guest tickets, day tickets for the canal, bait, tackle and so much more.

The concessionary match on Tuesday 26th July listed as Heybridge Basin will be changed to Papermill Lock.

Our river sections re-opened to fishing on Thursday 16th June.  Even if you are not a member you can fish the Chelmer & Blackwater canal on a day ticket (cost £6 for adults on the bank, £4.50 for concessionaries and only £2 for juniors).  Adult day tickets are cheaper if bought in advance from JP Tackle in Maldon High Street.  Members of Maldon AS, Chelmsford AA, Colchester APS and Kelvedon DAA do not have to pay for a day ticket (on production of a valid membership card).  The River Blackwater stretches at Wickham Bishops and Langford are also now open and exclusive to Maldon AS members only.

Not quite as big as last year’s double but still impressive at 9lb 8oz.

Members (and day ticket anglers) are reminded that our section of the River Blackwater and the whole of the River Chelmer / Chelmer & Blackwater canal are now closed for fishing until 16th June 2016.

The 8^th March concessionary match has been moved from the canal at Tesco’s to Little London Reservoir so we can catch.

The AGM went off smoothly on Sun 17th Jan and any other business saw some lively discussion regarding the Chelmer & Blackwater canal.  For the full transcript of events please view these AGM 16 Minutes and Fishery Management report for 2016 AGM.
