Good Season for Sea Anglers
Whitby Sea Anglers Association held their annual dinner at the Giardini Grill, Roxby, with 51 present.
The chairman, Mr W Atkinson, reported a good season. More fish were landed and more members joined. Sprats were not in evidence so anglers had a much better season. But the size of fish caught was smaller - in the 1 lb to 3 lb range. Mr Atkinson also thanked Mr J Metcalfe for donating the Sandsend Trophy. Secretary Mr A Barningham echoed the chairman's remarks, and said the winning aggregate weight of 117 lb 02 oz was 37 lb higher than that returned by the previous year's winner. Mr Barningham added the Association now had 49 members. An average of 21 members fished in over 40 matches. It was good to see an influx of younger members. Winners were: 1 - Lord Downe Trophy, I Russell - 117 lb 02 oz, 2 - Charles Rose Trophy, P Kilpatrick - 104 lb 05 oz, 3 - A Lawson Trophy, W Atkinson - 91 lb 07 oz, 4 - C Prudom Trophy, D Perrett - 73 lb 02½ oz, 5 - B Brown Trophy, C Troughton - 65 lb 15½ oz, 6 - Rose Bowl, A Marr - 60 lb 15 oz 7 - A Humble Trophy, D Thompson - 60 lb 08 oz. Juniors: 1 - A Spilman - 23 lb, 2 - M Braim - 10 lb 10 oz Heaviest fish and F Kirk - I Russell - 10 lb 03½ oz. The new Sandsend Trophy was won by D Perrett with the heaviest fish caught by a club member out of club competitions. It weighed 7 lb 06 oz. |
