Top Tips & Memorable Moments
A seasons collection of what can go wrong when fishing.
Match 1 - Wed. 2nd Oct. 2013 - Always leave enough time to reach the weigh-in with your catch 'before it closes'.
Match 2 - Sun. 6th Oct. 2013 - Always check your fishing mark before leaving and ensure 'all' your catch is secure in your fish bag.
Match 3 - Wed. 9th Oct. 2013 - Ensure your spare head lamp/emergency torch is fully charged and in working order before your main lamp fails and leaves you in the dark (and you have to phone a friend).
Match 4 - Sun. 13th Oct. 2013 - Even a fluffed (short) cast is worth leaving to soak a while, as it may produce a 'good' fish from under your feet.
Match 6 - Sun. 20th Oct. 2013 - You have to be entered for a chance to win it? Scott Moore - 3 lb 11 oz (3)
Match 7 - Wed. 23rd Oct. 2013 - Carrying a laminated copy of fish sizes is a good idea…as long as it’s up to date!! - As whiting are 30cms and not 33cms.
Match 9 - Wed. 30th Oct. 2013 - Having another cast, with 10 mins left, while you take your coat off and pack up ready for the long walk to the car pays off with another fish in the bag!!
Match 10 - Sun. 3rd Nov. 2013 - Don't forget your frozen crab flask!
Match 11 - Wed. 6th Nov. 2013 - Stay dry, as there is nothing worse than miss judging a wave and fishing the rest of the match when wet, especially if the match has only just started..
Match 12 - Sun. 10th Nov. 2013 - Keep calm and collected when you reach your mark only to discover you are carrying 2 halves of different rods (phone a friend), as all ends well.
Match 18 - Sun. 1st Dec. 2013 - Having un-clipped your 'hooked' fish trace, place it in your bag before you cast out another bait as a swell 'will' wash it away.
Match 20 - Sun. 8th Dec. 2013 - When fishing on rock armour, put your phone in a secure pocket & read 'Top Tips' Match 12, check your rod sections are compatible as it is a long drive home to make a whole rod.
Match 21 - Wed. 11th Dec. 2013 - When fishing on rock armour, secure your bait scissors to your bag with a lanyard.
Match 22 - Sun. 15th Dec. 2013 - Don't leave your fishing bait on the kitchen table & and non payment of match entry fee unfortunately means disqualification.
Match 44 - Remember where the rope is, if in doubt keep calm, find a rock, sit down and place your head on a clenched fist.
Match 49 - Carry a spare fishing rod, as you never know when you'll need it.
Remember to pick up your recently topped up rig wallet.
Match 2 - Sun. 6th Oct. 2013 - Always check your fishing mark before leaving and ensure 'all' your catch is secure in your fish bag.

James Moore 4 lb 13 1/2 oz
The First Match of the 2013 - 2014 Season, with a good turn out of 20 members meeting at the Bandstand for a group photograph, sadly no juniors, before departing for their chosen fishing marks at 18.45 hrs. The 3 hour evening match started at 7pm, fished down to low water, with a ½ hr of flood.
The south easterly winds had produced some welcome east south easterly swell but the colour was slowly dropping out as it moved more to the east. However, loose weed was a hindrance on many marks. The wind had been strengthening during the morning but thankfully had slowly been dying since midday. The east coast being sandwiched between a low pressure system in the west and a high pressure system to the east made for the strong winds.
Fifteen members weighed in 56 fish for 103 lb 06 oz, predominantly codling with 2 rocklings and an eel amongst the catch. Four members returned with double figure bags. Members were reporting catching many under sized mops (under 35cms which were returned) which is always a good sign. Baits of fresh or frozen peeler crab there appeared to be no advantage, as the fish were all well hooked.
Man of the match was Paul Kilpatrick with a good bag of 6 codlings for 16 lb 11 oz, his heaviest fish tying with James Moore’s at 4 lb 13½ oz. Paul Kilpatrick wins the match with the Heaviest Bag of Fish and he also shares the Heaviest Fish pool with James Moore.
Top tip for the new season, always leave enough time to reach the weigh-in with your catch ‘before it closes’!
Results:-

Dave Perrett 4 lb 07½ oz
High water 17.40 hrs 5.6 m & low water 23.53 hrs 0.8 metre.
Sunday nights 4 hr match started in daylight with darkness falling around 19.20 hrs, (the clocks don’t change until Sunday 27th Oct.) members watched the sunset on a clear warm night with a slight southerly breeze. There was no swell, little, to no colour in the water, with members fishing an all ebb match, which once took hold ebbed very fast and the barometer showing 1020 mm Hg.
A night of scratching on local marks for members or travelling further afield for a codling or two. Many choosing to travel and were rewarded with some good catches. 14 members weighed in 71 fish for 93 lb 07 oz, catches predominantly codling, with a pollock, bleggs, a billet, a whiting, rockling and a flat fish.
In amongst Matthew Garbutt’s winning bag of 15 fish was a pollock and 14 codlings for 19 lb 10 oz.
Dave Perrett’s night did not start well, loosing a substantial length of his line first cast but continued fishing down to his backing line and was rewarded with the Heaviest Fish of the night for 4 lb 07½ oz amongst his bag of 6 codlings for 12 lb 04 oz.
A warm welcome from WSAA members to the new members James Pearce, John Wrigley and returning members, making a total of 26 members, including our only female member, Mrs Paula Pitman, but no juniors.
Top tip No. 2 for the new season, always check your fishing mark before leaving and ensure all your catch is secure in your fish bag!

Sandsend at high water on Thursday morning at high water 8.07 hrs 5.2 metres.
Rob Allison 4 lb 13½ oz
Low water 13.35 hrs 1.1 m & high water 19.39 hrs 5.4 metres.
Wednesday nights 3 hr match started in daylight with a strong westerly wind and a steadily increasing swell. High pressure in the west dominating the weather with northerly gales forecast. 1017 mm Hg on the barometer.
Members sought shelter from the fierce wind but by 8pm the wind was moving more northerly combined with short sharp rain showers forcing a change of fishing mark for some. Fine purple grass like sea weed was a problem as the first good swell of the season ripped up the summers growth.
Bite detection was not easy with the increasing swell, with many fish ‘laid on’ and a bouncing lead the only sign of a ‘fish on’. Two hook traces being the optimum rig for the small fish around at the moment with a 3/0 hooks, others fancying a pennel on a pulley rig. Again no apparent advantages for fresh V frozen peeler being the chosen baits.
Rob Allison showed his determination to keep up the leaders with 11 codlings and a rockling for his first match & weigh-in of the season for 27 lb 06 oz, his heaviest codling 4 lb 13½ oz equals those of P Kilpatrick & James Moore for the Heaviest Fish of the month after 3 matches.
13 members, who had fought the atrocious conditions, weighed-in 39 codlings and 2 rocklings for 65 lb 01 oz. After the weigh-in the singles knock outs was drawn with the preliminary round to be fished on Wednesday 16th Oct.
Top tip No. 3 ensure your spare head lamp/emergency torch is fully charged and in working order before your main lamp fails and leaves you in the dark!

Richard Cope, 5 lb 14½ oz
Low water 17.55 hrs 2.2 m & high water 00.05 hrs 4.6 metres.
Sunday nights 4 hr match started at 6pm with much expectation, with a good steady north easterly sea swell with plenty of colour in the water and 28 mph north easterly winds. The wind however was relentless and bite detection was a problem for some on more exposed marks. This low pressure weather system continues to dominate and is forecast to be with us all week.
19 members were at the scales in good time, with 68 assorted fish, predominantly codlings for 99 lb 01 oz, the second heaviest weigh-in for WSAA members.
Heaviest Bag of Fish went to Scott ‘Pippen’ Moore with 8 codlings for 12 lb 02 oz. Scott, having caught nothing by 7pm was considering a change of mark but then the fish started to bite and was kept busy until 10pm.
Richard Cope caught the Heaviest Fish of the night at
5 lb 14½ oz (& seasons best to date - photograph), as part of a bag of 5 codlings & a rockling, the second double figure bag of the night at 12 lb 00 oz.
Top tip No. 4 Even a fluffed (short) cast is worth leaving to soak a while, as it may produce a ‘good’ fish from under your feet!

Low water 21.12 hrs 1.5 metres.
Wednesday nights 3 hr match was uncomfortable to say the least and started in heavy rain as a south easterly wind slowly eased only for a strong and gusty south westerly to batter members in exposed marks fishing down to low water. There was a slight north easterly swell which had been slowly dropping away since the weekend with plenty of colour in the water.
The RNLI lifeboat was out south of the lighthouse and numerous flares lit up the evening skyline.

A haul of more than 20 lb of cod was the winning catch in the first 'Royal Marines Association Charity Open'.
In total 40 competitors fished between South Gare and Whitby on Sunday October 20 and raised more than £600 for the charity which supports serving and veteran marines and their families. This includes aiding those wounded or the families of those killed in action.
Rob Allison won the first prize of £300 with his catch of 10 cod, weighing in at a combined 20 lb 15 oz. Second prize went to Bernard Westgarth who reeled in a 12 lb 14 oz cod. This impressive fish also saw Bernard topping the heaviest round fish category. Third place in the overall weight prize went to Ray Maddison whose half a dozen fish totalled 7 lb 14 oz.
The weigh-in at Redcar Citz Club, Lord Street, also saw Tony Longstaff win the heaviest flat fish category, with a 10 oz flounder caught off Redcar.

WSAA evening match
Iain Simpson Heaviest Fish of the night - 5 lb 03 oz.
High water 17.37 hrs 5.5 metres.
The 4hr evening match was all ebb, starting just after high water, with a growing north westerly swell and a strong gusty south south east wind. With a heavy down poor of rain around 7pm, members watched a spectacular lightning show on the horizon as the storm past out to sea.
Once the rain clouds had passed the clear sky was lit up with a very bright full moon which does not encourage to the fish to come in close to shore to feed. Fine purple grass like weed was a problem for anglers fishing the local cliff marks, other members had chosen to travel and were rewarded with some respectable bags of fish.
Matthew Garbutt had 9 codlings and a blegg for 11 lb 08 oz and Iain Simpson, who stayed local, caught the Heaviest Fish of the night 5 lb 03 oz.
Welcome Chris Weston who had 2 codlings for 2 lb 04 oz on his first match.
15 members were at the scales with 61 fish for 75 lb 06 oz.
Top tip - you have to be entered for a chance to win it!

Sandsend beach at 17.25 hrs
High water 19.19 hrs 5.1 metres.
Wednesday nights 3 hr match was all ebb, with a little north westerly close to shore sea swell, with plenty of colour in the water. Another low pressure system, 1000 mm Hg on the barometer, continues to dominate the weather. Wind was changeable, being strong southerly all day, by late afternoon swinging to westerly and by 20.30 hrs back to southerly.
With an early rain shower the skies soon cleared, the moon rose over the horizon producing another bright night which discourages the fish from coming close to shore to feed, as temperatures dropped to 7 deg C.
A night of scratching for whatever members could find on local beaches or travelling for the chance of a codling or two. Whiting and flat fish taking lug worm and mackerel cocktails tipped with squid, with a few undersized billets being caught and returned. M Garbutt with his 4th win, now 6 lb 12 oz ahead of 2nd place D Perrett. C Stainthorpe caught the Heaviest Fish of the night 3 lb 03 oz, to share the winnings with M Garbutt.
In the Singles Knockouts:-
D Perrett (4 lb 13 oz) beat J Gilpin (1 lb 12 oz) & M Garbutt (7 lb 01 oz) beat M Pitman (0 lb 00 oz).
In the preliminary round of the Doubles Knockouts:-
P Horbury & J Moore (total 3 lb 15 oz) beat B Laws & M Pitman (total 0 lb 12 oz).
14 members were at the scales with 51 fish for 47 lb 09 oz.
Top tip - carrying a laminated copy of fish sizes is a good idea…as long as it’s up to date!! - As whiting are 30cms and not 33cms.

Sandsend beach 15.04 hrs
Ben Laws - 5 lb 15½ oz
High water 21.37 hrs 4.3 metres.
With the clocks going back overnight the 4 hr match for WSAA members started in darkness on a clear, star lit night as the temperature dropped fast. Low pressure, 989mm Hg on the barometer, again dominating the weather with strong, but gusting west south west winds, with members seeking a sheltered mark fishing over the top of the tide.
Fishing was going to be hard going for all with a flat calm sea state, with colour in the water from recent rain fall, many choose to travel further afield for codlings and whitings, 4 members were fishing for a place in the next round of the Doubles Knockouts.
Sandsend beach did not fish as expected, with the fish being caught in the 1st hour of the match.
Ben Laws was virtually the last to the scales and produced the surprise of the night (photo), weighing in 2 codlings for 8 lb 15 oz with his Heaviest Fish of 5 lb 15½ oz now the Heaviest Fish of the Month with one match left for October. Bens’ fish pipped the previous HF by 01oz, caught by Richard Cope on Sun. 13th Oct. 2013.
This weigh-in propelled Ben up 7 places to 10th in the leader board.
Matthew Garbutt had the 2nd heaviest bag, 5 codlings and a blegg for 7 lb 11 oz (his HF was a codling of 2 lb 06 oz).
In the doubles knockout preliminary round, the last result before the first round on Wednesday 13 Nov. 2013. Scott Moore & Iain Simpson (5 lb 13 oz) beat Andrew Cass & Brian Harland (4 lb 15 oz).

Sandsend at 15.22 hrs
Low water 18.57 hrs 2.1 metres.
During the day the strengthening west south west wind again had WSAA members seeking a sheltered mark for Wednesday nights 3 hr match, 1015mm Hg on the barometer. There was colour in the water and some long distance north westerly swell, which grew throughout the match as the flood pushed in. Members reported the gusting wind made bite detection hard, with many fish being ‘laid on’ and end terminal loses were high due to being dragged into snags.
Dave Perrett, with his first win of the season, had 6 codlings and a rockling for 10 lb 10 oz, using a two hook trace reported catching 2 fish at a time, with 1 codling taking both baits. Dave, closing the gap, is now only 6 lb behind leader Matthew Garbutt.
Dave Perrett, Matthew Garbutt and Colin Stainthorpe are the only members who have weighed-in in every match to date.
Ben Laws continues to fish well, in the last 2 matches has risen from 17th place to 9th, his 4 codlings - 7 lb 10 oz, for 2nd place and the Heaviest Fish of the match - 2 lb 06½ oz.
In the October sweeps Heaviest Bag of Fish went to Rob Allison with 27 lb 06 oz - 6th Oct. 2013 and the Heaviest Fish - 5 lb 15½ oz went to Ben Laws - 27th Oct. 2013.
That concludes Octobers catch 479 fish for 667 lb 04 oz.
Top tip - Having another cast, with 10 mins left, while you take your coat off and pack up ready for the long walk to the car pays off with another fish in the bag!!
Results:- 12 members weighed-in 30 fish for 40 lb 10 oz.

Sandsend beach 15.37 hrs 5.6 metres
Colin Stainthorpe - 6 lb 13½ oz
Low water 21.52 hrs 0.9 metres.
Sunday nights 4 hr match saw low pressure still dominating the weather, a low over Norway giving some welcome long distance north westerly swell but with another low to the west causing strong a westerly wind decreasing as it moves slowly to the north west .
Members headed to their chosen marks, fishing down to low water, in amongst the tangle beds, with plenty of colour in the water. The tide did not ebb as far as predicted due to the low pressure, 995mm Hg, tide and wind competing for dominance caused some surging but not enough to drag end tackle in to snags.
Members reported mixed fortunes, as the temperature fell to 3 deg C, under sized codlings, weed, both kelp and purple sea grass, to losing fish in the thick tangles and around rocks.
First weigh-in of November saw 14 members weigh-in 70 fish for 139 lb 01 oz, 6 double figure bags and four fish over 6 lbs. Iain Simpson, with his first win, has set the Heaviest Bag sweep target 18 lb 10 oz - 9 codlings.
Colin Stainthorpe had 5 fish for 11 lb 02 oz, with the Heaviest Fish of the Month and Season - 6 lb 13½ oz.
Members are reminded it is Singles Knockouts, 1st round on Wednesday night and the WSAA Open a week on Sunday, 17th November 2013.
Top tip - don’t forget your frozen crab flask!
Richard Deadman aka 'Deadly Fish' joined us all at the weigh-in to weigh his heaviest fish of the night - 4 lb 12½ oz.
Alan Duke was also 'out and about' and had 2 codlings out before the WSAA match started, his best just over 6 lb.

Iain Simpson continues his run of finding the fish, Jay Allison (Jnr) fished his first match of the season and true to form out fished his dad, Rob (again).
Neil Inglis, 2 codlings for 6 lb 15 oz, reported dropping a good fish as he started to hand lift it on his pole.

Sandsend beach 15.23 hrs
Colin Stainthopre - 5 lb 09½ oz
High water 21.23 hrs 4.8 metres.
Sunday nights 4 hr evening match saw the weather changing, a high pressure system, 1022mm Hg on the barometer, with a north westerly wind and north westerly swell, colour in the water, expectations were high for a good catch, fishing to the top of the tide. Cliff marks were a popular choice with varied results.
Weed was a problem forcing a few members to loose valuable time and change marks. Many pleasure anglers were out and about, with head lamps visible for miles on the clear evening with temperatures dropping fast and a frost beginning to lay in more exposed areas.
Twenty two members were fishing, with 20 at the scales for the seasons 2nd best weigh-in, 4 double figure bags, 73 assorted fish for 118 lb 05 oz. Colin Stainthorpe won his first match of the 2013 - 2014 season with 11 codlings for 23 lb 10 oz, the Heaviest Fish, 5 lb 09½ oz.
Dave Perrett, closing the gap to 3 lb 08 oz on leader Matthew Garbutt had 2 good fish, 5 lb 06½ oz, 4 lb 08 oz in his bag of 8 fish for 19 lb 00 oz. Colin won Heaviest Fish and Dave, Heaviest Bag.
Top tip - keep calm and collected when you reach your mark only to discover you are carrying 2 halves of different rods (phone a friend), as all ends well.
Results:- 22 members weighed-in 73 fish for 118 lb 05 oz.

Sandsend beach at 13.00 hrs high water 4.7 metres, slight northerly swell
3 lb 10¾ oz block of jet, named Tony, being “T’Only bit there”.
Low water 18.56 hrs 1.9 metres.
Wednesday nights 3 hr match started right on low water, 18.56 hrs, 1.9 metre ebb with 1025 mm hg on the barometer, a stiff, gusty south westerly wind, swinging round to the west with increasing strength as the match got underway. The barometer had slowly been dropping all day, with a high of 1033 mm Hg in the morning.
Conditions were far from ideal, a milky colour to the water was the most reported, with many marks being crystal clear. The ebb far exceeded the prediction due to the high pressure above. Swell was intermittent as the flood pushed in, with periods of flat calm followed by swell, once the tide caught up.
Only 7 of 20 members fishing were at the scales with an assortment of fish for the season’s worst weigh-in, 12 fish for 16 lb 01 oz. Hence there were some surprising results for the Knockouts Quarter Finals. Both Dave Perrett and Matthew Garbutt blanked being the only tow members left to have fished every match of the season and weighed-in in every match.
Iain ‘Simmo’ Simpson may not have caught any fish but was rewarded by finding this 3 lb 10¾ oz block of jet, named Tony, being “T’Only bit there”.

Sandsend beach at 9.00 am rain on the horizon.
Eighty six adults and four junior competitors fishing Whitby Sea Anglers Association’s 34th Annual Open Match, fishing from 10.00 - 16.00 hrs with low water already past 09.33 hrs 1.1 metres.
With very little residual long distance swell left from earlier in the week, the sea state was poor with competitors reporting varied water states from crystal clear to milky, with some marks still thick. The sea state did grow slightly as the flood took hold but out paced itself, which lead to periods of calm.
There was a gentle westerly breeze which blew a heavy rain storm further out to sea off Whitby, followed by bright sunshine. 1033 mm Hg on the barometer. With open boundaries from Skinningrove Beck to Coble Landing, Filey competitors, like last year, were scratching and seeking a tidal mark where possible. Marine Drive was a popular choice with anglers reported as shoulder to shoulder.
Weigh masters, Bernard Vasey & James Gilpin were kept busy at the scales as 42 anglers weighed-in 130 fish comprising of 83 codlings, 31 wrasse, 12 flat fish, 1 blegg, 1 billet and 1 bass, for a total weigh-in of - 214 lb 15 oz. Many thanks to their attention to detail, recording all fish species.
No ladies entered the match and there were four juniors competing but none were fortunate enough to weigh-in.
The Special Prize of £50 for 17th place sponsored by Java was won by Robert Taylor from Whitby with 1 codling & 1 wrasse for - 5 lb 08 oz.
The last place prize of £25 was not claimed and was put onto the raffle table.
The Lucky Ticket Draw, for those who unfortunately did not weigh-in winners included James Gilpin, Paul Dryden and AN Other.
Apologies from WSAA for the delay with the prize giving as the food took longer than expected, but was well worth the wait.
Many thanks to our hosts at the Fleece, Stormy & John Coulson, Whitby and to all our sponsors without whose generosity the event would not be such a success.

Sandsend north westerly sea state grows 16.29 hrs
Colin Stainthorpe - 9 lb 12 oz
High water 17.21 hrs 5.3 metres.
Wednesday day time, saw the wind shifting slowly from westerly, round to north westerly with the sea state growing north westerly for the evenings match. The wind had been fierce all day and brought heavy rain showers and some sleet during the 3 hrs match. The barometer had dropped to 1000mm Hg since the WSAA Open on Sunday, with the weather men forecasting east north easterly winds by morning.
Finding a sheltered productive mark was going to be hard with some members opting for local cliff marks, with mixed results. Weed was a problem down Runswick which forced members to move marks and lose valuable fishing time. Clothing was tested to the max and with many a coat failing, leaving members damp.
Colin Stainthorpe, early to the scales at the Fleece, Church St, slid his best fish on the pan and was congratulated for a fine fish of 9 lb 12 oz, and another 3 codlings followed to tip the scales at 23 lb 12 oz. This is Colin’s second bag of fish over 20 lb this month (11 for 23 lb 10 oz - Sunday 10th Nov. 2013), leading in both Heaviest Bag of Fish and Heaviest Fish in the Monthly Sweeps.

Sandsend beach at 10.24 hrs - 1035 mm Hg - growing northerly
High water 19.54 hrs 4.7 metres.
Sunday, high pressure 1035 mm Hg on the barometer, (and by Monday was up higher 1040 mm), brought strong northerly winds and northerly swell which was steadily growing. As high water approached members reported white outs and surges which made holding bottom hard, coupled with the strong winds, end tackle broke free.
Members also reported moving marks two or three times due to the heavy and unfavourable conditions at marks only to find they had to move again due to weed. Members that went to Runswick Bay found weed of biblical proportions which made fishing nye on impossible. Saltwick beach was also heavy with weed and end tackle loses were high. Leaving slack line at your peril, holding rod at chest height was the best option to fish these conditions.
Three double figure bags from Matthew, Ben & Colin, with Colin, again early to the scales, again with the Heaviest Fish of the night 7 lb 07 oz, three codlings and a rockling for 15 lb 02 oz. Ben had an impressive bag of 3 fish for 17 lb 07 oz, heaviest at 6 lb 07 oz, with the other 2 over 5 lb. Ben had not had a bite until 21.30 hrs and reported dropping a fourth fish all before 22.00 hrs. This bag of fish has lifted Ben from 7th to 5th in the leader board.
Weed, weed and more weed, broken reel seats and a snapped rod end, may have been hampered many a member last night but spare a thought for one, who unfortunately had car trouble and could not make the weigh-in. Who, later, weighing his fish at home, texted - 23 lb 06 oz - with the heaviest at 8 lb 00 oz.
Next round of the Singles Knockouts is on Wednesday night, with a better stamp of now fish showing, tight lines.
Results:- 12 members weighed-in 41 fish for 96 lb 03 oz.

Pippen's photo, could it be a dinosaur footprint?
High water 23.00 hrs 4.5 metres.
High pressure still dominating the weather, 1034 mm Hg, for Wednesday nights 3 hr match, with some residual northerly long distance swell but little colour in the water.
A slack flooding tide, with a moderate westerly wind, members were scratching for whatever they could catch with much at stake in the Quarter Finals of the Singles Knockouts. There was a clear sky, thankfully no bright moon to illuminate the sea but good for star gazing to pass the time.
Cliff marks were popular, with some venturing on to the sand in search of some whiting but only small billets were reported. Back at the scales, Rob Allison jokingly laid a ‘stone fish’ on the pan, a 2 lb 13 oz lump of shale, which he had to wind up a cliff mark and brought it to the scales for a laugh.
The varied selection of fish at the scales, 17 codlings, 2 billets, 7 rocklings and 3 flat fish confirmed the poor fishing conditions but that is match fishing. Match winnings were split between the top 2 members, Heaviest Fish of the night Matthew Garbutt - 3 lb 04 oz and Dave Perrett the Heaviest Bag 7 lb 12 oz, who is now 31 lb 10 oz behind Matthew.

Sandsend beach at 13.10 hrs

|
Saltwick beach at 16.55 hrs
Low water 20.46 hrs 1.2 metres.
Twenty three members fished Sunday nights 4 hrs match with excellent results. Fishing a fast ebbing tide down to low water, 1.2 metres and with 1037 mm Hg on the barometer, the high pressure gave a bigger ebb than forecast, members were chasing the tide and the fish with kelp beds and rocky outcrops clearly visible.
Slight long distance northerly swell, which at times was lost as the tide ebbed, plenty of colour in the water, whispy cloud cover with a gentle breeze saw temperatures slowly dropping, numerous meteors were seen streaking across the horizon.
21 members were at the scales with the best weigh-in of the season to date, 84 assorted fish for 171 lb 04 oz, 6 double figure bags. 74 codlings, 8 rocklings, 1 blegg, & 1 whiting.
Matthew Garbutt with his 8th win of the season extends his lead over Dave Perrett to 60 lb 01 oz. Matthew takes Heaviest Fish of the night 6 lb 05½ oz (Heaviest Fish takes preference when also in Heaviest Bag) and Andrew Cass, up 1 place to 5th takes Heaviest Bag of Fish.
Well done Matthew from all at Whitby Sea Anglers Association another master class in match fishing.
Brian Harland, 3rd with 15 lb 09 oz, up 4 places to 7th in the Leader Board was the biggest mover.
Matthew now on 106 fish for 203 lb 15 oz, has an average fish weight of 1 lb 15 oz, with the highest fish/weight ratio Paul Kilpatrick at 2 lb 02 oz, followed jointly by Ben Laws and Colin Stainthorpe on 2 lb 00 oz.
The WSAA member record weigh-in for a Wednesday night 3 hr match was set by Brian Harland on 14th November 2007 an impressive 40 lb 07 oz and that was when the weigh-in closed at 22.15 hrs as opposed to 22.30 hrs today.
Matthew Garbutt holds the Sunday 4 hr record set on 25th November 2012 - 31 lb 06 oz.
Denis Thompson holds the Sunday 6 hr record set during WSAA Open Match 14th November 1999 - 44 lb 13 oz.

Top tip - Having un-clipped your 'hooked' fish trace, place it in your bag before you cast out another bait as a swell 'will' wash it away.

Sandsend beach at 15.55 hrs as the north westerly sea state grows.
Mike Bowman - 5 lb 12 oz
Low water 23.07 hrs 0.5 metres. 1028 mm Hg on the barometer & 6 deg C.
Strong winds, tidal surge (storm surge) and the first dusting of snow forecast for the north east this week, saw the sea state grow throughout the day, but not enough to bring the fish into feed as twenty four members fished.
Plenty of colour in the water, described by many as thick, as a north westerly swell was knocked back by the fast ebbing tide. The westerly wind was growing and at times swung slightly west south west. Some local scaur marks were slow to drain as wind and swell kept areas flooded much longer than the tidal predictions.
Mike Bowman thought he luck was in for a bag full, when he hooked the Heaviest Fish of the night on his first cast, only for this to be his only bite all night. Others reported also landing their only fish on their first cast of the night as the tidal rip was too strong on such a large ebb.
In the only Doubles Knockout Semi Final match being fished
Peter Horbury 1 lb 12 oz & James Moore 1 lb 07 oz
beat Mick Beedle 0 lb 00 oz & Neil Inglis 0 lb 00 oz.
The match between James Gilpin & James Pearce V Colin Stainthorpe & Bernard Vasey will be fished on Sunday 8th.
What a difference 3 days can make, from the seasons best to worst weigh-in, 13 members at the scales with 13 codlings and 6 rocklings for 26 lb 00 oz.
Well done to Mike Bowman with his first win and Heaviest Fish of the night 5 lb 12 oz and Dave Perrett takes Heaviest Bag of Fish, 4 for 5 lb 04 oz. A warm welcome extended to our Chairman, William Atkinson, fishing his first match of the season has not lost his touch 2 codlings for 2 lb 02 oz.
Results:- 13 members weighed-in 19 fish for 26 lb 00 oz.

Sandsend beach 15.00 hrs
Matthew Garbutt - 8 lb 11 oz
High water 19.59 hrs 5.3 metres.
Sunday nights 4 hr match brought much warmer conditions, 12 deg C with 1018 mm Hg on the barometer, due to a strong south westerly wind and plenty of cloud cover. A slight rain shower around 19.30 hrs did not dampen spirits. Fishing over high water, last 2 hrs of flood and 2 hrs of ebb, members not only had to contend with the strong winds but surging northerly swells due to opposing wind and swell. The water was thick with colour which was a welcome sign.
Whitby west pier was over run with weed and Sandsend cliff marks were popular with many Saltburn Club and pleasure anglers. With no sand on Sandsend beach, anglers were seen in numbers on Sandsend front and Sandsend car park.
Matthew Garbutt with his 9th win of 19 weigh-ins, out of 20 matches fished, had an eventful night. Fishing a new mark for the first time was kept busy, had no fish bag, and resorted to using his haversacks water proof covering. Matthew reported dropping another 5 fish in the swell.
11 fish for 36 lb 07 oz - Heaviest Bag of fish for December* contained a fish of 8 lb 11 oz - now the Heaviest Fish for December* (* to date).
In the Doubles Knockouts, for the last pairing in the Final.
Bernard Vasey 13 lb 11 oz & Colin Stainthorpe 4 lb 13 oz beat James Gilpin 0 lb 00 oz & James Pearce 0 lb 00 oz.
Matthew’s average fish weight is now 2 lb 01 oz and Ben Laws, next, with an average 2 lb 00 oz. Matthew has extended his lead over 2nd place, Dave Perrett - 78 lb 08 oz.
Iain Simpson continued fishing despite his rod snapping, losing the top 4 eyes on his rod early on in the match was at the scales with 4 fish for 5 lb 2 oz.
Top tip - When fishing on rock armour, put your phone in a secure pocket & read 'Top Tips' check your rod sections are compatible as it is a long drive home to make a whole rod.
Due to tidal surge flood damage at the Fleece, members held the weigh-in at Whitby Seafishing Supplies.
Until further notice members will now meet at the Wellington, Baxtergate for match weigh-ins, & hot refreshment, many thanks to Paula Pitman & Stormy Coulson.
Brian Harland, out fishing on the evening of Saturday 7th, caught these 2 lovely fish, the heaviest fish - 9 lb 06 oz, is now the fish to beat for the Heaviest Fish out of a WSAA Competition, his second fish - 8 lb 04 oz.

Sandsend beach at 15.21 hrs, 3 deg C stiff south south westerly breeze, feels like minus 3 deg C & 1027 mm Hg on the barometer.
Low water 17.14 hrs 2.1 m & high water 23.19 hrs 4.7 metres.
Flat calm sea conditions, bitterly cold south south westerly gusting wind for Wednesday nights 3 hr match. 1027 mm Hg on the barometer, 3 deg C on a cloudless night, the temperature dropped further close to freezing, factoring the wind chill it was not comfortable. A scratching match, some venturing to cliff marks and piers in search of a codling, wind conditions made casting and bite detection hard but some were rewarded for their effort & sheer determination.
Sandsend beach is totally flat and featureless, due to the lack of sand, and surprisingly by 21.30 hrs the tide had reached the bottom of the concreted embankment which is unusual nearly 2 hrs before high tide on a 4.7 metre. Members were forced back with their kit, then having to wade out to cast into deeper water to reach the whiting, using reels loaded with light line, shock leaders, 2 hook traces baited with mackerel strips to tempt the fish.
The weigh-in took place outside the Wellington, Baxtergate, Whitby, due to the Fleece being closed by flood damage by the recent tidal surge. Nine members were at the scales with a mixed catch of 1 codling, 1 billet, 1 flat fish & 24 whitings.
Matthew Garbutt won his 10th match of the season with 8 whitings for 5 lb 10 oz and Paul Short with Heaviest Fish, the only codling of the evening of 1 lb 07 oz.
At this time last season, Matthew was again leading, and had caught 125 fish for 162 lb 03 oz, as opposed to 126 fish for 247 lb 10 oz this season. Matthew’s lead over second place Dave Perrett is now 85 lb 05 oz.
Top tip - When fishing on rock armour, secure your bait scissors to your bag with a lanyard.
Christmas Match venue is the Stakesby Arms.
Results:- 9 members weighed-in 27 fish for 20 lb 09 oz.

Sandsend beach at 14.00 hrs - 1013 mm Hg - 8.5 deg C - southerly wind with some north easterly swell.
James 'King Cod' Gilpin 6 lb 10 oz
Low water 20.58 hrs 1.5 metres
Twenty one members sought shelter from a strong south south easterly wind for Sunday nights 4 hr match. Fishing the last 3 hrs of a fast ebbing tide, with some north north easterly swell which was being knocked back by the opposing wind. 1013 mm Hg, 8.5 deg C.
Members became more exposed to the wind on the open scaurs, making bite detection hard but the water was thick with colour so fish were well hooked.
Fishing ‘Saltwick Nab’, Peter Horbury & Rob Taylor were discussing Rob’s recent 14 lb cod and witnessed a rare occurrence, a ‘Moonbow’. There was a very bright, near full moon, shining on Whitby, as a light rain shower fell. One end of the Moonbow was 2/3rds distance to the Bell Buoy with the other end up on the east side of Whitby. A Moonbow is effectively all white but the blue and red colours stood out, too faint to capture on a camera phone.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonbow
Weigh-in at the Wellington saw 12 members at the scales with a mixed catch of 29 codlings, 7 rocklings and 3 whitings for 65 lb 08 oz.
Rich Cope was overall winner with the Heaviest Bag of 7 codlings for 13 lb 09 oz. James Gilpin, weigh master, kept the best till last, weighing-in a fine cod of 6 lb 10 oz also adding 3 rocklings for 7 lb 13 oz.
Next round of the Singles Knockouts is on Wednesday night - 18th December 2013.
Top tip - Don’t leave your fishing bait on the kitchen table & and non payment of match entry fee unfortunately means disqualification.

Dave Perrett - 5 lb 14 oz
Low water 22.49 hrs 1.2 metres
Only 16 members of Whitby Sea Anglers Association ventured out for the 3 hr match, fishing an all ebb match. Conditions were very inclement, forecasted 60mph gusts of southerly winds, bringing rain and painful hail showers.
Weathermen predicted a deep low pressure off the west coast of Scotland which brought the barometer tumbling down to 988mm Hg for Whitby.
As members chased the fast ebbing tide, with plenty of colour in the water, onto the scaurs they were more exposed to the elements and reported being battered form all directions as the winds swirled around the cliffs and shore line. Younger members reported these were the worst / wildest conditions they had ever fished.

Dave Perrett weighed-in the Heaviest Fish of the night - 5 lb 14 oz, unfortunately not enough to beat Matthew Garbutt in the Singles Knockouts Semi Finals.

Whitby Sea Anglers Association held their Annual Christmas Match on Sunday 22nd December, sponsored by WSAA members Paula & Malcolm Pitman of Whitby Seafishing Supplies £100 - 1st Place £50, 2nd Place £30 & 3rd Place £20.
26 members fished the 5 hr match from 2 pm - 7pm with the weigh-in closing at 8pm at The Stakesby Arms, Whitby. After which members enjoyed a hot & welcome carvery provided by Stacey Stevens and her staff, many thanks from Whitby Sea Anglers Association.
Conditions were far from favourable as the south south westerly winds of late have not abated, bringing rain, hail and decreasing temperatures close to freezing. 1003 mm Hg on the barometer with a slight north easterly swell (1 ft), which increased as the flood took a hold. Water colour was thick, 18 members returned to the scales with an assorted catch of 19 codlings, 15 whitings, 11 flat fish, 3 billets and 3 rocklings.
Man of the match, with his first win of the season, Andrew Cass - 3 fish for 7 lb 11 oz. Andrew was presented the winners trophy by Chairman William Atkinson. Andrew also received a new trophy - ‘Help A Capital Child’ - sponsored by Mick Beedle, whose daughters, Abbey & Stacey, are doing a 40 mile trek across the Grand Canyon in February 2014 in aid of Help A Capital Child.
WSAA have given £25 to Help A Capital Child and a further £45 was collected on the night, further sponsorship to be collected in the New Year. Mick Beedle said his daughters and ‘Help A Capital Child’ would be very grateful of the support from WSAA and members alike.
For those who did not weigh-in, as no one goes home empty handed, there was ‘the pick’ of the prize table, drawn by raffle, many thanks to Dave Perrett, WSAA Treasurer, for organizing.

Whitby Sea Anglers Association held their Annual Christmas Match on Sunday 22nd December, sponsored by WSAA members Paula & Malcolm Pitman of Whitby Seafishing Supplies £100 - 1st Place £50, 2nd Place £30 & 3rd Place £20.
26 members fished the 5 hr match from 2 pm - 7pm with the weigh-in closing at 8pm at The Stakesby Arms, Whitby. After which members enjoyed a hot & welcome carvery provided by Stacey Stevens and her staff, many thanks from Whitby Sea Anglers Association.
Conditions were far from favourable as the south south westerly winds of late have not abated, bringing rain, hail and decreasing temperatures close to freezing. 1003 mm Hg on the barometer with a slight north easterly swell (1 ft), which increased as the flood took a hold. Water colour was thick, 18 members returned to the scales with an assorted catch of 19 codlings, 15 whitings, 11 flat fish, 3 billets and 3 rocklings.
Man of the match, with his first win of the season, Andrew Cass - 3 fish for 7 lb 11 oz. Andrew was presented the winners trophy by Chairman William Atkinson. Andrew also received a new trophy - ‘Help A Capital Child’ - sponsored by Mick Beedle, whose daughters, Abbey & Stacey, are doing a 40 mile trek across the Grand Canyon in February 2014 in aid of Help A Capital Child.
WSAA have given £25 to Help A Capital Child and a further £45 was collected on the night, further sponsorship to be collected in the New Year. Mick Beedle said his daughters and ‘Help A Capital Child’ would be very grateful of the support from WSAA and members alike.
For those who did not weigh-in, as no one goes home empty handed, there was ‘the pick’ of the prize table, drawn by raffle, many thanks to Dave Perrett, WSAA Treasurer, for organizing.

Only 5 members were at the scales with a mixed selection of fish. Man of the match was Peter Horbury, winning his first match with 9 fish for the Heaviest Bag - 5 lb 11 oz, using a two hooked rig, light gear (for distance), fresh lug worm, tipped with mackerel. Dave Perrett weighed-in the Heaviest Fish - 3 lb 03 oz.

Sandsend beach 13.40 hrs - low water 15.21, 1.9 metres
High water 21.28 hrs, 4.8 metres.
Wednesday nights 3 hr match saw high pressure slowing returning to the north east, 1012 mm Hg, 8 deg C, and south westerly winds bring torrential rain. The water was coloured, with slight northerly swell as high water approached but was not enough to bring the bigger fish into feed. Six members were under pressure for a weigh-in, tonight was the Knockouts Finals, of both Single and Doubles Knockouts.
Match fishing is about being able to adapt to the conditions and catch was is available, a skill Matthew Garbutt has proved so often. With some members opting for local cliff marks fishing into weed beds, others headed for piers and beaches but the whiting were not there in numbers on local beaches. Those that travelled further afield had mixed results, the south westerly winds of late, long periods of calm conditions meant the fish had moved into deeper water.
Keeping the rain off from spoiling fresh lug worm, stopping osmosis, was a challenge in its self. Fresh worm and mackerel strips being the bait of choice for the beaches.

Guest location Goldsborough for an afternoons dog walk
Iain Simpson - 7 lb 09 oz
Low water 19.50 hrs 2.0 metres.
20 members of Whitby Sea Anglers Association took part in Sunday nights 4 hr match. With some north north easterly swell and south south easterly winds with gusts of 36 mph bringing rain at 21.00 hrs made for a cold nights fishing as temperatures had dropped to 4 deg C, 1022mm Hg, on the barometer, an ebbing tide to low water on a slack tide of 2.0 metres.
The high pressure and winds made for a lower ebb than forecast and members reached many of their favourite low water marks an hour earlier and took advantage with much improved catches as the flood was slow to push in. However, only 12 of the 20 members were at the scales with 2 rocklings and 36 codlings for 92 lb 07 oz.
The afternoons high water swell had been severely knocked back by the ebb tide and the wind, but there was plenty of colour in the water from recent rainfall.
Man of the match was Iain Simpson with his best bag and fish of the season, 8 codlings for 26 lb 02 oz, best fish of
7 lb 09 oz (takes Heaviest Fish)*. Both set the standard for the monthly sweeps HF & HB. This is Iain’s 2nd win of the season and moves up from 7th to 5th on the leader board.
Dave Hambley (takes Heaviest Bag)* with 4 codlings and a rockling for 11 lb has lifted Dave from 16th to 13th on the leader board.
Everyone’s spirits were lifted as a better stamp of fish were seen at the scales, new member John Wrigley 4 lb 01 oz (1 of 3 for 7 lb 01 oz), Bernard Vasey 5 lb 04 oz, Andrew Cass 6 lb and Iain Simpson’s 7 lb 09 oz.
Results:- 12 members weighed-in 38 fish, 2 rocklings & 36 codlings for 92 lb 07 oz.

Sandsend beach 15.00 hrs, 950 mm Hg, 9 deg C
Wednesday nights 3 hr match was all ebb, finishing right on low water. Members headed for their chosen low water marks, with colour in the water and some regular long distance north easterly swell, expecting to bag up, with some surprises. The south easterly wind was warm, not too strong, 9 deg C, but at times was gusting, again bringing rain around 21.00 hrs. 995 mm Hg on the barometer as the high pressure of the last few days began to drop.
Once again the wind knocked back the swell as the ebbing tide took hold, by low water the swell had all but gone. Members were slow to the scales indicating they had travelled far on foot allowing a relaxed pace at the scales and a chance for few photographs.
Thirteen members returned to the scales, 3 with double figure bags. Most impressive was Richard Cope with his second win and a personal best, from shore, 7 codlings for 24 lb 00 oz. In his bag the Heaviest Fish 7 lb 06 oz and another of 6 lb 05 oz. In the Leader Board Rich moves up five, to 10th, 2 places shy of a trophy. In the sweeps Heaviest Fish takes preference when also having Heaviest Bag.
Therefore second place James ‘Jamsy’ Moore takes Heaviest Bag with 5 codlings for 12 lb 12 oz including one of 5 lb 01 oz.
Mick Beedle had second HF 7 lb 00½ oz and his partner Mike Bowman had 1 codling for 4 lb 00 oz.
Results:- 13 members weighed-in 35 fish, 2 rocklings & 33 codlings for 88 lb 14 oz.

Bell Trophy - The Annual Inter Club Tournament.
There was no WSAA night match on Sunday because WSAA had been invited to compete in the Annual Inter Club Tournament, known as The Bell Trophy. Invited by George Dunn, secretary of Scarborough Rock Anglers Society, eight local clubs were to be fishing from 10am to 2pm, weigh-in by 3pm at Scarborough Rock Anglers Social Club.
At 8.30 am 115 local anglers met up on Marine Drive Scarborough to register, after which there was a short reminder of the rules and fish sizes, by George Dunn before anglers departed to their chosen marks shortly after 9 am, with boundaries of Coble landing, Filey to Argyle Gully, Hayburn Wyke.
Whitby Sea Anglers Association entered two teams of ten anglers, entry was £3.00/angler into the Bell Trophy and a further £7 entry into Heaviest Fish & Heaviest Bag of Fish sweeps split 50/50 for the winning members.
Fishing conditions were good, with a 4 - 5 ft growing east north east swell, fished over low water, with plenty of colour in the water. The only down side was the low cloud cover, south easterly wind bringing persistent damp conditions, rain & heavy drizzle, temperature of 7 deg C & 997 mm Hg on the barometer made for some wind chill.
Scarborough Rock Anglers won the trophy back and Whitby A came second, followed by Filey C, Whitby B, 4th, and the new Whitby Bass Club, competing for their first time came a respectful 6th out of eleven teams.
In the WSAA club match, man of the match was Neil Inglis with his first win of the season, 7 codlings for 10 lb 13 oz, received £70 for the Heaviest Bag of Fish. Mick Beedle,
3 codlings for 9 lb 09 oz, had the Heaviest Fish - 6 lb 02 oz, also received £70.
Whitby A weighed-in 28 lb 01 oz 02 drams, with an average of 2 lb 12 oz 01 drm, however Scarborough Rock Anglers weighed-in 27 lb 04 oz 02 drm, which gave them an average 3 lb 06 oz 07 drm per man and received £230.
Overall 58 anglers weighed-in 209 lb 04 oz 12 drm, angler Frank Colling, 78 yrs, was invited to present the prizes to the lucky winners.
WSAA club results:- 11 members weighed-in 26 codlings for 48 lb 07 oz.

Sandsend beach 12.20 hrs, 986 mm Hg 2 deg C - heavy rain & sleet, feels positively arctic, brr!
Iain Simpson - 8 lb 01½ oz
Low water 17.42 hrs 2.0 metres & high water 23.55 hrs 4.6 metres.
Hours before Sunday nights 4 hr match many were having second thoughts, as Whitby experienced heavy rain and sleet, with temperatures just above freezing. Throughout the day the pressure had continued to drop to 986 mm Hg, a strong and gusting west south west wind. Plenty of colour in the water, slight north north west swell which was not strong enough to keep pace with the flood tide, leading to periods of calm.
By the start of the match the skies had cleared and the wind had settled slightly. Man of the match was Rob Allison, with his second win, 5 codlings for 11 lb 15 oz. Iain Simpson caught the Heaviest Fish of the night 8 lb 01½ oz which surpasses his previous Heaviest Fish of the month by 6½ oz, caught on 12th Jan. with one match left to retain the sweep. Iain’s current good form, sees him only 6 lb 01 oz behind 4th place C Stainthorpe and 10 lb 08 oz behind 3rd place A Cass.
Matthew Garbutt has only been unsuccessful to weigh-in twice and is now only 27 lb 15 oz behind the WSAA Seasons Accumulative Weight record of 344 lb 03 oz, set by Denis Thompson in 1986/1987 Season with 18 matches left.
Movers in the Leader Board are Dave Hambley, up from 14th to 11th, Brian Harland up from 11th to 9th.
Paul Short's evening got off to a bad start with his main lamp failing, his spare did not fair much better and by 9pm borrowed a spare lamp off Peter Horbury in order to continue fishing.
Surprisingly the Whitby west pier fished exceptionally well, with short casts and squid bait proving productive.
Results:- 20 members fished & 14 members weighed-in 41 fish for 91 lb 04 oz, 34 codlings, 4 rocklings, 2 whiting & 1 blegg.

Matthew homes in on record of 86/87
Mick Beedle - 12 lb 00½ oz
Low water 21.04 hrs 0.9 metres.
A growing easterly sea, strong cold easterly winds on a large ebb tide, did not bode well for a large weigh-in as 18 members headed out for the evening 3hr match.
Despite the low pressure dominating the weather again, a high pressure system over Europe gave 1002 mm Hg on the barometer aided the already large ebb, with temperatures dropping to 2 deg C. Wind chill was a factor, and finding a sheltered mark as members chased the tide onto the open scaurs and rock marks was not going to improve conditions. Some reports of light snow showers at Cayton Bay, Nr Scarborough, and thankfully no major weed problems.
Matthew Garbutt, early to the scales, with his 13th win of the season, with 6 codlings for 15 lb 05 oz, his best fish of 7 lb 13 oz. Matthew is now only 12 lb 10 oz from equaling the all time WSAA record for a seasons weigh-in.
Heaviest Fish of the night fell to Mick Beedle 12 lb 00½ oz this is now the Heaviest Fish for January and Heaviest Fish of the season to date. Well done Mick.
In the monthly sweeps for January, Iain Simpson won both Heaviest Bag of Fish 26 lb 02 oz - 12th Jan and Heaviest Fish
8 lb 01½ oz caught 26th Jan. Unfortunately Mick Beedle was not entered into the monthly sweeps but he still won Heaviest Fish of the night and could win Heaviest Fish of the season.
January saw 267 fish for 566 lb 06 oz grace the scales 81 lb 04 oz better than for December 2013.
Biggest mover in the Leader Board is Mick Beedle, up from 13th to 9th.
Results:- 18 members fished & 10 members weighed-in 29 fish for 64 lb 05 oz, 27 codlings & 2 rocklings.

Matthew writes his own record after standing for 27 years
Sunday nights 4 hr match saw the biggest tide of the month, 6.1 metres, for an all ebb match. Sea conditions were all but flat, strong south westerly wind and plenty of colour in the water. Air pressure had been steadily climbing all day, 1005 mm Hg and 5 deg C.
Local beaches and Whitby west pier were popular spots for the pleasure angler. I counted 23 anglers on the west pier and at least ten lamps on Whitby west sea wall, whiting were scarce, but one lucky angler on the west pier had a couple that nudged the 2 lb mark. Codling were even scarcer and I only saw one landed, with a scorpion fish and 3 under size codlings and a few whitings showing.
Members that decided to travel further afield had mixed fortunes with one member reporting dropping a good fish.
Congratulations to Matthew Garbutt, as he has past the WSAA record for a season’s accumulative weight, set by Denis Thompson in 1986/87 Season (344 lb 03 oz), and is now writing the record book, with 16 matches left.
Matthew had 5 codlings and a lesser spotted dog fish for
15 lb 00 oz, his heaviest codling, 4 lb 10 oz, took Heaviest Fish sweep of the night, while Mike Bowman had 3 codlings for 5 lb 04 oz, and takes Heaviest Bag (as Heaviest Fish takes preference when also in Heaviest Bag).
James Gilpin had a busy night, using a two hook trace with size 1 hooks to land ten flat fish for 4 lb 13 oz, many more returned, as under size.
Dave Perrett caught his 3 lb 06 oz codling early on in the match and was thereafter plagued by small billet bites, having moved marks due to lack of water depth as the tide ebbed.
The weigh-in had no effect on the leader board, and Matthew Garbutt’s lead over 2nd place Dave Perrett is now
129 lb 15 oz.
Results:- 17 members fished & 10 members weighed-in 29 fish for 40 lb 05 oz, 15 codlings & 11 flat fish, 1 LSD*, 1 billet, & 1 whiting.

Sandsend beach, above at 8 am high water and later in the afternoon.
Dave Hambley - 8 lb 13 oz
Wednesday’s weather forecast thankfully did not materialise, the south easterly winds were strong but not gale force, bringing rain showers throughout the evening, air pressure had been dropping all day to 976mm Hg.
Fishing over high water, 20.00 hrs 5.2 metres, with plenty of colour in the water the north easterly sea state had steadily increased, again higher than predicted, with steady swells.
Ten members were at the scales, including 4 double figure bags of fish.
Dave Hambley was man of the match with his first win of the season with both Heaviest Bag 18 lb 05 oz and Heaviest Fish
8 lb 13 oz (HF takes preference). This moves Dave up the leader board from 13th to 9th place.
Dave Hambley has set the bar in both the heaviest fish and heaviest bag of fish monthly sweep for February.
Matthew Garbutt takes Heaviest Bag with his 5th second place and extends the WSAA record for a season’s accumulative weight to 364 lb 10 oz with 15 matches left. Matthews match average weigh-in is 10 lb 12 oz (5 fish) which is a remarkable achievement and extends his lead over 2nd place Dave Perrett to 145 lb 07 oz.
Rob Allison and Iain Simpson continue to jostle for 5th place as one ounce separates them. Andrew Cass landed the second heaviest fish of 6 lb 15 oz with 4 codlings for
14 lb 02 oz, now only 32 lb behind Dave Perrett.
Results:- 10 members weighed-in 31 fish, 28 codlings, 2 rocklings, & 1 whiting for 89 lb 15 oz.

Sunday nights 4 hr match was the coldest this season, strong gusting south westerly winds, with clear skies, saw the temperature plummet, which brought the wind chill factor below freezing with frost forecast.
Yet again the weather has been dominated with low pressure to the west, with strong winds and rain. Saturday’s lowest of 767 mm Hg, by Sunday it had crept up to 778 mm Hg consequently the tide did not ebb as predicted.
The sea state was flat calm, with colour, on a very slack tide, (4.2 metres high water - 2.3 metres low water - 18.12 hrs) for the ‘all flood’ match. Many members elected to travel further afield and the mixed selection of the fish at the scales showed.
No change in the leader board, Dave Perrett & Rob Allison were joint first and Dave took the Heaviest Fish sweep with a codling of 3 lb 06 oz, Rob therefore took the sweep for Heaviest Bag of Fish.
Sunday nights results are the penultimate entry into the ‘Sea Angler Clubman’ series with Whitby A & B teams tied on 124 points, and Whitby C have 63 points.
Only eight of the fifteen members fishing were at the scales with the seasons worst weigh-in, 16 lb 15 oz - 12 fish.
Results:- 4 lesser spotted dogfish, 3 codlings, 2 rocklings, 1 blegg, 1 flat fish & 1 whiting.

Above:- Rainbow out at sea, as seen from near top of world. Sansdend showing plenty of colour from recent rainfall.
Fifteen members of Whitby Sea Anglers Association braved the extremely harsh conditions of Wednesday nights 3 hr match. As another low pressure system dominates the weather 977 mm Hg. Low water 21.00 hrs 1.6 metres.
By the start of the match the wind had already shifted from south south easterly to south westerly, with gust (predicted) of 60 mph. As members followed (nee blown) the fast ebbing tide on to the open scaurs becoming more exposed to the elements, making standing, let alone casting difficult. Driving rain was only interrupted by painful hail showers.
Water colour was thick, due to heavy rain fall, and the south easterly swell brought regular swells, with little to no tidal pull on the relatively slack tide, some marks were thick with weed.
Matthew Garbutt was man of the match with his 15th win, with both Heaviest Fish and Heaviest Bag, but Heaviest Fish - 2 lb 07 oz takes preference and Heaviest Bag went to Dave Perrett in the evenings sweeps. Matthew had his problems during the match when reeling-in his third fish, the handle of his reel snapped off, consequently he lost that fish, luckily he had a spare reel and was soon fishing again.
Matthew has now extended the WSAA record accumulative weight by 27 lb 06 oz, still with 13 matches till close of season, which is only 28 lb 07 oz shy of the 400 lb mark, which would be some achievement.
The wind brought its own problems for weigh-master Bernard Vasey as the electronic scales were yo-yoing. Only five of the fifteen members fishing were at the scales for another poor weigh-in, 15 lb 04 oz - 8 fish, 1 lb 11 oz less than Sunday night, which was then, the poorest weigh-in.

Saltwick beach 16.15 hrs
High water 16.55 hrs, 5.5 metres. Westerly winds 19 mph - northerly swell predicted 4 - 6 ft and 1005 mm Hg on the barometer.
Andrew Cass - 6 lb 06 oz
High pressure, 1005 mm Hg, returned to the north east, bringing brighter weather, westerly winds and northerly sea swell for Sunday nights 4 hrs match. Sixteen members fished the all ebb tide, starting an hour after high water - 16.55 hrs, 5.6 metres.
The evenings are now get lighter, by 6pm the sun had set on clear skies, the temperature soon dropped and a frost took hold. There was plenty of colour in the water but as the full moon rose over the horizon it was almost daylight again which did not help. The northerly swell lost its strength quickly as the ebbing tide took hold which lead to surging with prolonged periods of calm.
An accident on Lythe Bank, around 21.00 hrs, caused the police to close it, leading to members, who were fishing north, finding an alternative route to the scales. It was touch and go, as the scales close prompt at 22.30 hrs and unfortunately one member missed the weigh-in. Eleven members weighed-in 33 codlings and 1 whiting, with some a better stamp of fish evident.
Man of the match was Rob Allison with his 3rd win of the season - 6 codlings for 21 lb 09 oz. Rob now leads in the Heaviest Bag of Fish for the monthly sweep. Andrew Cass, 3rd equal with 8 lb 13 oz, landed the Heaviest Fish a fat bellied cod of 6 lb 06 oz.
In the leader board Rob Allison, up one place, has closed the gap to 3rd place Andrew Cass. Dave Hambley and Mike Bowman continue to spar for 8th place.
Matthew Garbutt continues to fish well, with another double figure bag of fish, and has now extended the WSAA record by
38 lb 03 oz to 382 lb 06 oz, his match average weigh-in is 10 lb 05 oz - remarkable.
Results:- 33 codlings, 1 whiting for 94 lb 14 oz.

Man of the man match, with both Heaviest Bag and Heaviest Fish was Paul Kilpatrick with 10 fish for 15 lb 14 oz. Heaviest Fish takes preference and Paul takes the Heaviest Fish sweep with a fine codling of 6 lb 02½ oz and Mathew Garbutt therefore takes Heaviest Bag sweep with 5 codlings for 9 lb 11 oz.
Paul’s 2nd win of the season sees him rise two place to 12th and James Gilpin was the biggest other mover, up from 16th to 13th in the Leader Board.
Matthew Garbutt continues to fish well, his 5 codling for 9 lb 11 oz extends the WSAA record seasons accumulative weight by 47 lb 14 oz, to 392 lb 01 oz, 7 lb 15 oz shy of the 400 lb mark with 11 matches before close of season.
Better codlings continue to show, Ben Laws, James Gilpin, Iain Simpson and Rob Allison all had fish over 3 lb.
Colin Stainthorpe, not a big fan of fishing for whiting picked up two on Sandsend beach. His heaviest, an impressive
1 lb 12 oz (photograph below) is a new WSAA record fish (43.8% of the British record), beating the previous holder Ben Laws by 2 oz.
Results:- 20 codlings, 11 whitings and 2 flat fish for 60 lb 09 oz.
Members reported water colour varied a great deal from mark to mark, with no complaints of weed. Day time temperature had been positively mild, 10 deg C, as night fell the little cloud cover saw temperatures plummet to 2 deg C as a cold front moved in creating a fine mist around 21.00 hrs.

Strong to gale force southerly winds for Sunday nights 4 hr match saw only thirteen members fishing. Sea state around Whitby was flat calm with some southerly swell further down the coast line. Fishing the last 4 hrs of flood up to high-water, 22.09 hrs, on a slack tide, 4.5 metres, little to no colour in the water, and the strong winds was going to be a challenge.
Options were to stay local, scratching for whitings and flat fish on local beaches or to travel further afield. Those that elected to travel were rewarded. Only 10 of the 13 members were at the scales with a very varied assortment of fish - 11 whitings,
7 LSD, 5 codlings, 4 dabs, 1 flounder, 1 blegg, 1 billet and 1 rockling for 38 lb 03 oz.
Peter Horbury, with his second win of the season, landed 4 lesser spotted dogfish (LSD) for 7 lb 10 oz to take the Heaviest Bag sweep. All four LSD took a bait cocktail of mackerel and fresh lugworm on a 3/0 - 1/0 circle hook pennel rig.
Colin Stainthorpe landed the Heaviest Fish of the night, a codling of 5 lb 10 oz, tying with Dave Perrett for second place with equal weight.
With only ten matches left to close of season the leader board is closely scrutinised, Colin is now only 11 oz behind 4th place Rob Allison, like wise Rich Cope is now only 11 oz behind Mick Beedle in 10th place. And only 3 lb 09 oz separates Mike Bowman, Mick Beedle and Rich Cope for 9th - 11th place. Rob Allison has closed the gap to 3rd place Andrew Cass to 9 lb 01 oz.

Sandsend beach, high tide, 13.30 hrs.
Rich Cope, HF - 2 lb 12 oz
The last match of February for members of Whitby Sea Anglers Association saw very similar conditions to last Sunday, south westerly winds, shifting through the evenings 3 hr match towards southerly. Low pressure off the west coast continues to dominate the weather, 1012mm Hg on the barometer, 4 deg C, wind chill and a frost set in with cloudless skies. Fishing the last hour of ebb and 2 hrs of flood with the sea state flat was never going to be very productive.
Many members elected to travel further afield rather than scratch for some flat fish and whitings on local beaches as competiveness steps in to keep or gain a place ahead of the competition as we move into the final month of the season.
Eight members returned to the scales with a varied catch of 8 lesser spotted dogfish (LSD), 4 codlings, 2 poutings, 1 whiting, and 1 tadpole fish - brought to the scales by Rob Allison. Total weigh-in 16 fish for 23 lb 13 oz.
Rich Cope had both Heaviest Bag and Heaviest Fish, 3 codlings for
6 lb 02 oz, takes sweep* for HF 2 lb 12 oz and HB goes to Andrew Cass with 3 lesser spotted dogfish for 4 lb 08 oz. This is Rich Cope’s 3rd win of the season and moves him from 11th to 9th on the leader board. Rich is now only 1 lb 05 oz, behind 8th place Dave Hambley for a Trophy position. *HF takes preference when in HB.
In the monthly sweeps Rob Allison won HB with 6 fish for 21 lb 09 oz - 16th Feb and Dave Hambley HF 8 lb 13 oz - caught on the 5th Feb 2014.
Total catch for February reflected the poor fishing conditions, 194 fish for 378 lb 05 oz, dominated by the conveyor belt of low pressures hitting the west coast.
Matthew Garbutt continues to extend the WSAA record accumulative weigh-in by 52 lb 05 oz, to 396 lb 08 oz which is now only 3 lb 08 oz off 400 lb with 9 matches left.

Sandsend beach 13.08 hrs, 992 mm Hg, 8 deg C
Sea state flat & clear water, southerly wind shifting south easterly by 6pm - AND did it!!
Sea state flat & clear water, southerly wind shifting south easterly by 6pm - AND did it!!
Squid, found by Colin Stainthorpe, at Robinhoods Bay, Sat 1st March.
Sunday morning started clear and bright but as another low pressure system moved in to the west coast the weather soon deteriorated and members agreed it was the most uncomfortable match of the season. The barometer had been falling since Friday to 985 mm Hg late Sunday evening.
The southerly wind grew in strength late afternoon, moving round to a south easterly, bringing near horizontal torrential rain, wind chill made baiting up uncomfortable. By 8 pm the temperature had dropped further and the rain turned to hail which felt like a hundred pins being stuck in your face and there was no respite even at the weigh-in.
Fishing an all ebb match on a big tide - high water 16.44 hrs, 6.1 metres - low water 23.09 hrs, 0.3 metres. On arrival some members found their chosen location unfishable as the wind speed increased further, forcing a move with not necessarily better conditions. Following the fast ebbing tide onto open scaurs left members more exposed with heavy gear losses reported as the strong wind dragged end tackle into snags.
Rich Cope made more than one move and was rewarded with 2 codlings for 3 lb 05 oz. This is Rich’s fourth win and he has now past Dave Hambley into the 8th - last trophy position. Dave Perrett landed the Heaviest Fish 2 lb 07 oz, maintaining a healthy lead over third place Andrew Cass to 35 lb 14 oz.
Thanks to Bernard Vasey for having the weigh station all set up for a speedy weigh-in, recording the worst weigh-in of the season, 4 codlings for 6 lb 13 oz, as those present were eager to seek shelter and warmth.
Many thanks also to Stormy Coulson for providing hot refreshments, pizzas were really appreciated by all after the weigh-in.
News - Thanks to Rob Allison and Dave Hambley who have kindly donated two new trophies, Most Improved Angler and Memorable Moment. Members will be given a chance to vote for their choice of most improved angler over the coming weeks.
Results:- 4 codlings for 6 lb 13 oz - ten members fished.

Following the fast ebbing tide onto open scaurs left members more exposed with heavy gear losses reported as the strong wind dragged end tackle into snags.
Rich Cope made more than one move and was rewarded with 2 codlings for 3 lb 05 oz. This is Rich’s fourth win and he has now past Dave Hambley into the 8th - last trophy position. Dave Perrett landed the Heaviest Fish 2 lb 07 oz, maintaining a healthy lead over third place Andrew Cass to 35 lb 14 oz.
Thanks to Bernard Vasey for having the weigh station all set up for a speedy weigh-in, recording the worst weigh-in of the season, 4 codlings for 6 lb 13 oz, as those present were eager to seek shelter and warmth.
Many thanks also to Stormy Coulson for providing hot refreshments, pizzas were really appreciated by all after the weigh-in.
News - Thanks to Rob Allison and Dave Hambley who have kindly donated two new trophies, Most Improved Angler and Memorable Moment. Members will be given a chance to vote for their choice of most improved angler over the coming weeks.

Sandsend beach 13.50 hrs
Below. Took a long walk around Staithes and surrounding scaurs over low water, and witnessed this controlled explosion in Staithes harbour at 13.17 hrs as contractors shatter a granite block washed over the breakwater during the tidal surge 5th December 2013.
A welcome break in the weather as high pressure returned, 1020 mm Hg, 8 deg C. However a flat calm sea state, south westerly breeze after a bright sunny day. Members were fishing an all ebb tide, starting at the top of the tide 5.5 metres at 18.47 hrs. Choices, as in similar conditions, were to stay local and scratch for whitings and flat fish or travel further afield in search of lesser spotted dogfish and codlings in deeper water.
Twelve members were at the scales with a varied catch, the best for March with, 20 whitings, 15 LSD’s, 10 codlings, 9 flat fish and 4 poutings for 66 lb 06 oz.
Man of the match was Matthew Garbutt with 7 fish for 12 lb 01 oz, which sees Matthew pass the 400 lb accumulative weigh-in, breaking the previous WSAA record weigh-in by 64 lb 06 oz. Well done Matthew, it remains to be seen if any future member can match this phenomenal record.
Rob Allison weighed-in the Heaviest Fish of the night, a codling of 2 lb 13½ oz. Rob’s lead over Colin Stainthorpe, in 5th place, has narrowed to only 7 oz. Colin had a busy & productive match on the sand with 11 whitings and 1 flat fish, 2 lb 01 oz more than Rob.
Dave Perrett caught all his 7 fish in the first 1½ hrs, catching two at a time, and never had a bite thereafter.
Dave Hambley and Rich Cope continue to jostle for the last trophy position, separated by only 12 oz with only seven matches left before season finishes.
Presentation night is at the Stables on Saturday 5th April, voting has begun for ‘The Most Improved Angler’, members who were not at the weigh-in last night can collect a voting slip at the weigh-ins or text Peter Horbury, Secretary, with their choice. Dave Perrett will be issuing menu choices shortly.
Results:- 58 fish - 20 whitings, 15 LSD’s, 10 codlings, 9 flat fish and 4 poutings for 66 lb 06 oz.

Sandsend beach at 08.10 hrs 1020 mm Hg gentle south westerly breeze.

Lovely morning for a walk on the beach, a few jelly fish washed up on the shore line.
High pressure, 1020 mm Hg, a bright sunny day in Whitby, made for poor shore fishing conditions, flat calm sea state with a gentle south westerly breeze. Despite this there was a good turn out of members keen to maintain or gain a place or two in the 4 hr evening match. As Wednesday, it was a choice of stay local and fish for whitings and flat fish or travel in search of codling and dogfish in deeper water.
Seven WSAA members had fished all weekend at the European Open Beach Championships (EOBC) at Tunstall, East Yorkshire, unfortunately without success and stopped off on the return journey to fish the evening’s club match, making for a very long day.
Day time temperatures had been around 15 deg C but as soon as the sun set, 18.30 hrs, the wind shifted more westerly and temperatures dropped on a cloudless evening, a light fog formed with a frost evident in exposed areas. Bites were few and far between, making for a slow match.
Matthew Garbutt, man of the match with his 17th win, Heaviest Bag - 5 lesser spotted dogfish for 9 lb 03 oz. Matthews match average weigh-in is now 9 lb 11 oz.
In 2nd place, Rich Cope, 2 codlings, 2 lesser spotted dogfish for 8 lb 04 oz which included the Heaviest Fish of the night, a codling of
2 lb 07 oz. Rich is continuing to fish well and has increased his lead over Dave Hambley to 7 lb 13 oz.
Andrew Cass, pushing hard to reduce a deficit 40 lb 13 oz to 2nd place Dave Perrett shares the highest average fish weight of 2 lb 01 oz with Chairman William Atkinson.
The mornings and evenings are getting much lighter and BST starts at 1 am Sunday 30th March - clocks forward 1 hr.
Top tip of the night - remember to take your head torch and check your engine oil level before departing.

Code of Conduct for Bempton cliffs.
A night thwart with problems, old line hampered retrieval of end tackle for a couple of us until I managed to hand ball it up the cliff. 30 lb main line is bare minimum with a 50 lb shock leader and a rotten bottom for Bempton. |

Above, Robinhoods Bay & right, Ravenscar above the sea fret.
Ben Laws - pollack - 2 lb 09½ oz
Wednesday morning started with a hard widespread frost & a thick sea fret, soon burnt off by the bright sunshine. The high pressure of 1033 mm Hg still with us since the weekend.
A cool south south easterly wind was forecast to shift round to south westerly. Members were fishing down to low water, 19.46 hrs, 2.0 metres on a very slack tide. Sea state was flat and water was clear. Some opted for a low water mark in search of a tangle bed cod, as others tried Sandsend beach for whitings and a few tried deep water marks further south, like Bempton with mixed results.
The 3 hr match got progressively colder, a cold front met the warm land forming a heavy dew quickly turning to frost. On a cloudless night the bright ¾ moon was not helping the already poor conditions, wind chill made baiting up painful. However, ten minutes after the 7 pm start Dave Perrett landed a codling of 2 lb 02 oz, and was to be his only catch as he was plagued with small fish bites thereafter.
Ben Laws, cutting a fine line, with 60 seconds to close of scales, slid the Heaviest Fish on the pan, believed to be the first pollock of the season at 2 lb 09½ oz. This is Ben’s 3rd win of the season, now only 10 lb 03 oz behind seventh place Iain Simpson, with five matches left.
Rob Allison fourth in the leader board took Heaviest Bag, with 1 codling of 2 lb 04 oz is now only 6 lb 15 oz behind Andrew Cass, who dropped two fish and also plagued with small fish bites.
Results:- 5 members weighed-in 3 codlings, 1 pollack, & 1 whiting for 10 lb 02 oz.

With British Summer Time (BST) not far away as Sundays 4 hrs match started in daylight. Fishing an all ebb tide with plenty of colour in the water, a growing northerly sea swell, a strong and increasing westerly wind brought heavy cloud cover to shield a bright full moon.
The air pressure had dropped of late to 1022 mm Hg, day time temperature 10 deg C, the growing sea state came too late to bring fish in close to shore in any numbers to feed.
Low water 22.17 hrs (Whitby) 0.9 metres members were following a fast ebbing tide and casting into gulleys, basins and eventually into the tangle beds as the scaurs drained off. The shallower the water the harder to pull the fish out of any snags with a number of members reporting such difficulties, the strong wind did not help as it dragged lines and end gear tight into snags. Rob Allison was a casualty of such hazards, snapping a fish off, but next cast re-caught the lost fish, identified by his hook snood in its mouth. Baits cocktails of green crab, mussel and black lug on a pennel rig were popular.
Eleven members were at the scales with 26 codlings and 2 rocklings for 59 lb 05 oz. Andrew Cass, with his second win of the season, was man of the match with 4 codlings for 13 lb 08 oz, in his bag, the Heaviest Fish of the night, a codling of 4 lb 11 oz. Andrew now leads in both Heaviest Fish & Heaviest Bag of Fish, in the monthly sweeps for March. Andrew is now only 31 lb 04 oz behind second place Dave Perrett.
Iain Simpson takes Heaviest Bag of Fish with 5 codlings for 12 lb, and has now reduced the gap to 5th place Colin Stainthorpe to 14 lb 13 oz with four matches left to close of season.
An inquisitive mink was spotted by Peter Horbury on Cowbar rock armour looking for food in anglers bags, after which it swam across the harbour entrance to Staithes jetty.
Top tip - remember where the rope is, if in doubt find a rock, sit down and place your head on a clenched fist - thinker!!
Results:- 28 fish - 26 codlings, 2 rocklings for 59 lb 05 oz.

Sandsend beach 15.45 hrs
Strong westerly winds from Sunday continued to dominate the weather, the high pressure had dropped slightly to 1016 mm Hg. Gusts of 23 mph had been forecast as the wind shifted slowly into a south westerly, with thankfully no rain forecast, temperature 10 deg C.
The northerly swell had dropped off with a little close to shore swell, with plenty of colour in the water it was to be another scratching match on local beaches for whitings, flat fish or travel for the chance of codlings and lesser spotted dogfish in deeper water. Members were fishing a fast ebbing, all ebb tide, low water 23.57 hrs, 0.9 metres.
Eleven members were at the scales with 25 fish - 14 lesser spotted dogfish, 7 whitings, 3 codlings, & 1 flat fish for 36 lb 10 oz. Mick Beedle, his first win of the season with the Heaviest Bag of 5 lesser spotted dogfish for 9 lb 06 oz.
Dave Perrett landed the Heaviest Fish of the night, a lesser spotted dogfish of 2 lb 04 oz on his last cast of the night. Dave had been plagued with small fish bites on big cod baits pennel rigs, until he changed tactics to a two hook 2/0 rig.
There are now only 3 matches left until close of season, the associations’ third best season in its history. The Whitby Sea Anglers Association record weigh-in, 1997/98 Season when 2,419 fish for 3,394 lb were landed by 36 members. This season 27 members have landed 1,707 fish for 2,935 lb 03 oz, a shortfall of 121 lb 08 oz on the record to date.
This gives an average of 108 lb 11 oz per member, far short of the 160 lb 14 oz average of 1986/87 when 19 members landed the second highest weigh-in of 2,218 fish for 3,056 lb 11 oz.
This season the average fish weight is 1 lb 12 oz but in 1991/92 it was 3 lb 02 oz.
Results:- 25 fish - 14 lesser spotted dogfish, 7 whitings, 3 codlings, & 1 flat fish for 36 lb 10 oz.

With reference to this weeks Whitby Gazette - Friday 21st March 2014 - Letters Pg 21.
Don Spedding, Granville Road, Morecambe - writes "Record for a pier caught fish?.......... The fished weighed 18 lb and I was wondering what sort of record there is for a pier caught fish."
The question gave me inspiration to include an 'New WSAA Record' on the web site for the Heaviest Pier Caught Fish.
Bernard Vasey therefore holds the new WSAA record with a cod of 20 lb 06 oz, caught on wednesday 12th March 1997.
At this time, obviously, the Junior record holder has not been determined.

Iain Simpson - HF 5 lb 01 oz
The penultimate match of the 2013/2014 season, and a chance for a fish or two for the members, as a moderate north easterly swell was running. Air pressure had been fluctuating of late, 1024 mm Hg, with a north north easterly wind, with gusts up to 22 mph forecast. The wind was bitter, the heavens opened with torrential rain as members made their way to their chosen marks. Around 20.00 hrs the sky turned black as a big storm moved in off the sea, after which members were battered by strong winds, heavy rain and hail stones.
Members complained of the water colour as it varied vastly from mark to mark, at Sandsend the water was clear, at Runswick it was a milky grey and Saltwick was thick with colour. All of which contributed to the poor weigh-in of only 6 codlings and 1 rockling for 16 lb 14 oz from 5 of the 15 members fishing.
Iain Simpson was man of the match returning to the scales with 3 codlings for 10 lb 11 oz, taking the Heaviest Fish prize money - 5 lb 01 oz. Iain is now only 2 oz behind 5th place Colin Stainthorpe, who, himself is only 2 lb behind 4th place Rob Allison. Iain continues to fish exceptionally well in his second season with WSAA, an angler to watch in the future.
Peter Horbury started the 3 hr match off well with a 3 lb codling in the bag after only 10 minutes, and an undersized mop soon after, were the only two bites all night. Peter’s fish took a bait of fresh lug, peeler, and razor cocktail, on a 4/0 3/0 circle hook pennel pulley rig. Peter won Heaviest Bag prize money as Heaviest Fish takes preference in the event of also having Heaviest Bag, 2nd Heaviest Bag takes Heaviest Bag.
Other members reported not having a bite all night with Dave Perrett confirming this was the first match all season where he too had not had a bite. Dave & Peter are the only two members to have fished all 48 matches, Peter was also the only mover on the leader board, up one to 16th place.
Up date - The 2013/14 Seasons total of 3,042 lb 03 oz is now only 14 lb 08 oz behind WSAA’s second ever best weigh-in of 3,056 lb 11 oz, landed in 1986/87 Season, with the last match to fish on Sunday 30th March.
Results:- 6 codlings, 1 rockling for 16 lb 14 oz - 14 fished.
Members complained of the water colour as it varied vastly from mark to mark, at Sandsend the water was clear, at Runswick it was a milky grey and Saltwick was thick with colour. All of which contributed to the poor weigh-in of only 6 codlings and 1 rockling for 16 lb 14 oz from 5 of the 15 members fishing.

James 'King Cod' Gilpin two for 2 lb 11 oz
The season finale, the 2013/14 Champion, Matthew Garbutt may have been a forgone conclusion with a lead of 182 lb 11 oz on second place Dave Perrett, but there were still places to defend and fish for. However conditions were far from ideal, clocks forward overnight meant 2 hrs of unwanted daylight. The easterly swell leading to clear water conditions as any colour dropped out. There was an east north east wind which brought thick fog / sea fret to the northeast coast.
High pressure 1020 mm Hg and moderate temperature of 12 deg C made for a comfortable night. Tide was also against members for the 4 hr match, 5.8 metre high water at 16.40 hrs meant the tide had turned and was already fast ebbing to a low of 0.5 metres at 23.00 hrs.
Thanks to Bernard Vasey the scales were set up as only seven of the seventeen fishing members were at the scales. Members watched closely for a shock weigh-in but in truth everyone knew otherwise, and expected a low catch. Eight fish graced the scales - 6 codlings, 1 billet, & 1 rockling for 11 lb 12 oz - sadly this was 2 lb 12 oz short of passing the 1986/87 second best WSAA record weigh-in. Making 2013/14 the third best season in the clubs history with an average weigh-in per member of 113 lb 02 oz, with an average fish weight of 1 lb 12 oz.
Winner of the last match of the season, man of the match, with his first win, James ‘King Cod’ Gilpin, catching two codlings for 2 lb 11 oz, sharing the winnings with Paul Short, Heaviest Fish of the night, a codling of 2 lb 02 oz.
For the month of March 197 fish for 330 lb 08 oz were caught, less than half of that for October when 479 fish for 667 lb 04 oz were landed at the start of the season.
Both Monthly Sweeps - Heaviest Fish & Heaviest Bag of Fish were won by Matthew Garbutt on Sunday 23rd March - 5 lb 07 oz & 20 lb 14 oz respectfully.
Malcolm Pitman had a bad night, setting his rod on the tripod to bait up a second rig, weed caught his line, pulled the rod onto the rock armour, putting a razor sharp hairline fracture in the end eye unknown to him. Making his next cast, the braid snapped like a crack off. Changed reels to one loaded with mono, on casting the line shredded. Malcolm then found the hairline crack and returned home for a spare rod.
Factoids -
1 - Only Paul Kilpatrick, Paul Short, Colin Stainthorpe and Peter Horbury managed to weigh-in in both the first and last matches of the season.
2 - Dave Perrett WSAA Treasurer, Peter Horbury WSAA Secretary & Mick Beedle were the only members to have fished all 49 matches.
Presentation night - Saturday 5th April at the Stables.
Results:- 6 codlings, 1 billet, & 1 rockling for 11 lb 12 oz.
