  • All catch reports entered must have been caught by bait or lure onshore / offshore in the Gower ONLY. GeoTag data must be enabled on all submitted photos to be a valid entry (this will only be used to verify winners catches. The Gower Hueys will not share details of marks.

  • Only mouth caught Bass (bait or lure) can be entered.

  • A photo of good quality must be submitted of your catch with a visible measure along the full length of the fish in centimeters, with the head of the fish touching the “zero”. Your entry card displaying your unique ID and code word must also be clearly visible.

  • Fishing measuring tapes only (not DIY tapes) and must be laid flat. Ideally the image will be taken left to right with the fishes mouth at the left of the photo.

  • Fishing tapes such as :

    No DIY measuring tapes.

  • The measurement recorded is the total length, from the nose to the tip of the tail.

  • Fish that measure between centimetre increments shall be recorded at the lower of the two increments. For example, a fish that measures between 55 and 56 centimetres will have a recorded length of 55 centimetres.

    In the event of a tie the Bass that was submitted earliest will win. For example, two 59cm Bass are the biggest submitted fish - one was submitted on August 7th the other August 25th, so the August 7th submission wins.

  • All fish submitted must be on top of a fish measure, the tip of the nose to the longest point on the tail naturally splayed out. This must be a clear photo and the ID card with code word written down MUST be visible. This must be posted to entrants' Instagram tagging @thegowerhueys in addition to emailing the picture to info@thegowerhueys.com

    All pictures of fish must have geotag enabled (The Gowerhueys will not share marks and will only use geotag to validate that fish was caught in the designated areas of Gower)

The Gower Hueys ™

If there's one thing that encapsulates the true essence of the Gower, it's the love for water. From the rhythmic crashing of waves against the shore to the tranquil serenity of fishing on the calm estuaries, water holds a special place in the hearts of the Gower locals. With every wave we ride, surfers feel an exhilarating rush of adrenaline coursing through their veins, their souls at one with the power of the ocean. For The Gower Hueys there is no better way to celebrate a day out on the water than enjoying a cold beer, savoring the moment while swapping tales with friends. Whether it's the thrill of the surf or the tranquility of fishing, the combination of water, beer and the Gower creates an unmatched experience of pure joy and passion.
