Sunday 27th January 2013. Match 34 of 52.
Whitby Sea Angler Association had been invited to compete for the Annual Inter Club Tournament, The Bell Trophy.
Organised by Scarborough Rock Anglers Society, nine local clubs were fishing from 10am to 2pm. Therefore there was no WSAA night match.
Eighty five local anglers met up on Marine drive Scarborough at 0830 hrs to register for the Annual Inter Club Fishing Tournament. George Dunn, Secretary of Scarborough Rock Anglers Society presided over the registration (photo). After a short reminder of the rules and fish sizes, anglers departed to their chosen marks at 0905 hrs.
Low water was at 1039 hrs and once the flood took a hold, the swell increased. There was plenty of colour in the water and anglers were hopeful of fish or two, in amongst the heavy kelp beds.
There was a strong and as it happened, strengthening south westerly wind, with intermittent rain showers, followed by bright sunshine and a few rainbows to marvel at with no pot of gold, as fish were scarce. Less than a quarter of the anglers taking part successfully weighed in.
Fourteen members of Whitby Sea Anglers Association travelled to Scarborough to represent their club with 2 teams of 7 anglers.
In the past Whitby Sea Anglers Association have won the Bell Trophy four times, in 1986, 1997, 2006 and 2010.
Unfortunately this year only one member succeeded in catching a fish, a codling of 1 lb 14 oz 14 drams, giving Whitby B an average of 03 oz 14 drams. Matthew Garbutt won both WSAA sweeps, £49 for Heaviest Fish and £49 for Heaviest Bag of Fish.
