Sunday 17th November 2013.  Match 14 of 49

Eighty six adults and four junior competitors fishing Whitby Sea Anglers Association’s 34th Annual Open Match, 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 weigh-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.

Congratulations to Ian Thompson from Scarborough overall winner with 7 codlings & 2 wrasse for - 14 lb 05 oz, who received £500 from James Noble on behalf of Wilf Noble Construction and Plant Hire, Ruswarp.

Pete Dunn from Scarborough, Nee ‘Neptuned’, the 2012 Open winner again hooked the Heaviest Fish of - 6 lb 08 oz and Whitby Sea Angler Association member Matthew Garbutt hooked the second Heaviest Fish of - 6 lb 07 oz.

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 Special Prize of £50 for the Heaviest Flat Fish sponsored by Mike Beedle Building Contractor was won by Whitby Sea Angler Association member and Club Secretary Peter Horbury with a good flat fish of - 1 lb 05 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.
