Catch Results:

The match was won by junior angler Eryk Janik .... a fantastic performance from Eryk, well done young man! Showing the older competitors how it's done Eryk finished with 15 fish to top the table with a total of 339pts.

The longest fish of the evening was a 26cm Dab caught by Brian Hambling.

29 anglers caught 189 fish of size, with easily double that amount in under-sized fish landed. While catching so many under-sized fish is undoubtedly frustrating for our match anglers, it is very promising for the overall fish stocks in that area. 

Banked Species included:
  • Whiting
  • Dabs
  • Codling
  • Sea Scorpion
  • Flounder
