LONERANGER Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hi all, ive just moved back to Lincolnshire after being away for a few years .I got my SGC about 2 years ago and just been doing some clay pigeon shooting and pigeon shooting ...but since I've been back .myself and the wife have been walking the dogs down Frampton marsh where the RSPB reserve is .so I'm wanting to try wildfowling.. I met a wildfowler down there last week and tried to talk to him but I could tell he didn't want to help so I left it at that ..I then met 2 wildfowlers Tuesday night on there way out who were very helpful and forth coming with some knowledge of how to go about joining the local wildfowling club .. I sat on the bench which is on the bank and watched them walk out onto the marsh . They seemed to know there way about out there , as they went a good distance out from the bank . I now know what club it is and who to contact to join..what I wanted to know was what it's like out on frampton marsh ..is there any dangers .. what kind of equipment I would need .. Any help would be much appreciated. . Thanks in advance. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie10 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 The biggest danger is the tide, you don't want to be out there on a really big tide. You need to check heights at which it covers the marsh and the effects of wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 There are dangers on any foreshore , the wash has many hidden creeks , known to us as leg breakers , as mentioned the tides and things like fogs in which its very easy to get dis orientated But it is also a wonderful place to be . Chances are though that you will normally shoot very little if anything . If you join one of the clubs then you should be guided for a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 One of the reasons they went a way out from the bank, is so that they are not on the RSPB part of the marsh. BASC permit book would be a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LONERANGER Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks for your advice guys .. I was made aware of the reserve by the 2 guys who I spoke to .. I think one of them said he was the vice chairman of the club. Mat do you shoot frampton marsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of them said he was the vice chairman of the club. Mat do you shoot frampton marsh. I know who you mean and if you join his club he would offer to show you around dont worry about that, there are clay shoots before the season starts and thats where you will get a lot of information, there is more than Frampton marsh to go on there is Blacks just aroung the corner and Kirton further along the bank to name a few. pm me if you want more general info Regards Hcc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks for your advice guys .. I was made aware of the reserve by the 2 guys who I spoke to .. I think one of them said he was the vice chairman of the club. Mat do you shoot frampton marsh. I've shot it once. I usually shoot elsewhere. pm harrycat as he says and he'll be able to give you more info on it. Get down to the clay shoots in the summer and you'll meet more fowlers who will help. Just to confuse you, there are actually 3 different clubs that can shoot Frampton, i should think the person you spoke to was vice chairman of South Lincs.

Konnie Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 as mat says there are 3 clubs that have shooting rights around to Frampton,I belong to holbeach which seems to have a lot of foreshore frontage, they do have spaces and people that will take you out, as a probation period is served its a cheap sport once you have your initial gear you get BASC membership included with subscription ( holbeach & district wildfowlers ) its on the net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayano3 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I am in Holbeach Club too, we all shoot bits of each others marshes and all sing from the same hymn sheet as they say. Many of us help one another on each others marshes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
