Find Axe Valley Shore Angling Club avsac on Facebook Hi Folks Just a few words to say we are still fishing down here in Seaton. Sorry there has not been a report for a couple of months - but to be honest there has been nothing exciting to write about. Same goes for this month. That said, we are landing whiting, dogfish, pout, rays and flounder off the beach here but really the weather is too rough and cold . I hope it bucks up soon although as I write this the reports say a big chill and high winds are coming in - so don’t get too excited about fishing off Seaton beach anytime soon. That said, if you do decide to venture down here we will be open as usual for fresh bait - and frozen. And of course Jean’s Tea Caddy with hot food and drinks will also be open.
