Wednesday 28th February 1996.
There was another poor result to the midweek match as the conditions were quite good with a northerly long distant swell running in.

The easterlys still continue to dominate along the east coast and with it the old saying of “when the winds are in the east the fish bite the least” has proved to be this season. The north westerlys have been rare and the fish have not moved south in their normal winter cod run.

Denis Thompson triumphed in both, with a fish of 2 lb 03 oz on Wednesday, fishing on a flat calm night from an ebbing tide and a 2 lb 10 oz fish on Sunday. Conditions were slightly better with a light south easterly stirring a little colour to the water.
Small fish bites were keeping the junior members active on the west pier extensions as undersized flat fish were returned to the water.
Wednesday 27th March 1996.
1st - Neil Inglis - 1 lb 04 oz - 1 fish.
Sunday 31st March 1996.
Whitby Sea Anglers can now stow their gear as the 1995 - 1996 season came to an end. The last match was fished on a dry cool night and a calming northerly swell with the tide ebbing allowing anglers to reach the tangles and low water marks.

Denis Thompson triumphed in both, with a fish of 2 lb 03 oz on Wednesday, fishing on a flat calm night from an ebbing tide and a 2 lb 10 oz fish on Sunday. Conditions were slightly better with a light south easterly stirring a little colour to the water.
Small fish bites were keeping the junior members active on the west pier extensions as undersized flat fish were returned to the water.

Whitby Sea Anglers can now stow their gear as the 1995 - 1996 season came to an end. The last match was fished on a dry cool night and a calming northerly swell with the tide ebbing allowing anglers to reach the tangles and low water marks.
Ian Russell produced the only fish to be weighed in, 3 codling for 7 lb 09 oz, winning the match and also putting him back in second place overall for the season.
The club will be holding their annual dinner and prize giving presentation at the Metropole Hotel on 20th April 1996.
