Mick Beedle casting the top section of his rod when the spigot cracked.
Ben Laws dropping a 5 lb pollack into the aqua pods (butter fingers) witnessed by Rich Cope. Richard Deadman so pleased with his 7 lb 02 oz cod promptly cast all his end gear off on the next cast. 1) Dave Perrett reported landing a codling that was ‘not’ hooked, instead hanging off the bait elastic by its teeth. 2) James Gilpin his evenings fishing ended prematurely when his rods end eye cracked its insert and started fraying his main line of expensive braid. Junior Chris McCarthy forgot to pack his head torch, his back up torch was not powerful enough to fish with. Rob Allison's Heaviest Fish had swallowed an earlier hooked rockling. Mick Bowman broken reel. Dave Hambley pulls Iain 'Simmo' Simpson in, and whilst waiting Simmo gets drenched with his back to the sea. M Garbutt forgot his rain coat, and it rains. James Moore thought Christmas match started at 3pm, also cracked off twice during match. Peter Horbury 1) snapped rod end on rocks when bail arm flipped over during casting 2) on retrieving end tackle after a bite found a 'large' fish eye masking the hook point. 3) Paul Kilpatrick reported landing a fish which was hooked only by the skin above the eye. 1) Paul Short forgets his main lamp, snapped end eye off for a 2 mile return trek for a spare rod. 2) Andrew Cass nearly throws the towel in but James makes him cast in again to land a double 10 lb 14 oz 3) Dave Perrett doesn't heed weather warning and follows cars doing 5 mph to miss weigh-in James 'Jamsy' Moore drove off from Sandsend leaving his fish & fish bag at the side of the road. Dave Perrett has double head torch failure, Mike Vasey comes to the rescue. Rich Cope meets a seal rock hoping back to the weigh-in. Dave Perrett leaves new drop net on Scarborough aquapods, driven back from Burniston by Mick Beedle, who has fish, misses weigh-in. Paul Kilpatrick snaps his rod and loans one from a friend to finish match. Bernard Vasey walked all the way to the bottom of Robinhoods Bay bank before he realised he'd left his head torch in the boot. Used his spare for the evenings fishing. Dave Perrett complains of discomfort in his shoe at weigh-in, and empties 3 size 1 hooks out onto the tarmac. |

The afternoons dog walk for Aussie & I along a near deserted Sandsend beach, ten minutes later and the heavens opened.
Andrew Cass HFish
High water 21.35 hrs - 4.88 metres
First match of the 2014 - 2015 season for members of Whitby Sea Anglers Association, meeting at Scotch Head Bandstand for a few formalities and a group photograph before leaving at 6.45 pm for their chosen fishing marks.
Conditions were far from ideal for this time of year, 17° C, 1026 mm Hg, flat calm, crystal clear sea state and a gentle westerly breeze with the slightest northerly local swell flooding to high water at 21.35 hrs. Many members elected to stay local and fished the local piers, while others travelled to deep water tidal marks.
Members reported being pestered with small fish bites, many hooked billets and codlings were of the 30 - 34 cms ilk, and those which were size, 35 cms, were few and far between. Fresh peeler crab gave disappointed as frozen was out fishing fresh for those members fishing together but the banter was friendly and jovial.
Being the first match there were bound to be tales of the one that got away, forgotten gear, mishaps or a memorable moment. From a distance it sounded like a crack-off but Mick Beedle’s 16ft, 3 section rod decided to crack a spigot. The top section was cast, along with his end tackle like a javelin a good 100yds. Retrieving his end tackle and top section took patience, with a quick repair using electrical tape, Mick was back fishing to finish the match.
Ben Laws, witnessed by Richard Cope, landed a frisky Pollock, estimated at 5 lb, which unhooked itself, slipped from his grasp, landed on an aqua pod, flapped furiously and disappeared into the dark void below.
A warm welcome was given to new junior member Chris McCarthy, fishing with his uncle, did not catch anything on his debut. Chris' father' Arthur McCarthy used to fish with the club when I first joined WSAA.

Mrs Paula Pitman claims a WSAA Record Species when she presented a plaice 05 oz (above) on the scales. Since the launch of the new web site for Whitby Sea Anglers Association, back in October 2012, I have compiled, from archives, record species that members have achieved. In the past it was only fish numbers that were recorded at the weigh-ins but now we record all species in our reports. Members reported that it is not often a plaice is brought to the scales, and this one claims the WSAA Record. This was returned to the harbour alive.

An hour before high water 13.00 hrs Sandsend beach for Aussie's walk.
Low water 22.31 hrs - 1.7 metres.
Sunday’s 4 hr match started in day light, daylight saving time ends Sunday 26th October. Conditions were again, as Wednesday, far from ideal, near flat calm conditions, slight close to shore northerly swell, crystal clear water, daylight was soon replaced by a bright moon and a freshening south south easterly wind - 1010 mm Hg.
Day time temperature had been 14° C but by 8 pm had dropped to 10 C and the stiff breeze made it feel a lot colder.
Fishing over low water members headed out in search of some red tangle fish with mixed results. The tide ebbed further than predicted due to the air pressure aided by the prevailing wind, giving members a boost to reach the fish.
Well done to new member Richard Deadman nee ‘Deadly Fish’, man of the match with 4 codlings for 11 lb 11 oz, Heaviest Fish of the night & season to date 7 lb 02 oz. It took Richard a few minutes to bully the fish out of the tangles as it kept its head down and patience was needed when it became fast a few times. (Rob Allison & Bernard Vasey takes matches entries in HF & HBoF - Richard Deadman, new member as yet had not entered. )
There was a real mix of fish brought back to the scales, twenty one codlings, two billets, four poutings and one wrasse weighing-in at 2 lb 01 oz from James Gilpin.
The draws for both knockouts competitions will be done on Wednesday night.
The 2nd Royal Marines Association Charity Open is on Sunday 26th October – fishing 9 am to 2 pm.
The weather is forecasted to change in the next week and hopeful a good blow will bring the fish closer to shore.
Results:- 28 fish for 50 lb 04 oz

Blood Moon
Low water 22.54 hrs - 0.96 metres.
The weather has not been kind for WSAA members in the first three matches of the season. The sea state of Tuesday had all but gone, leaving some long distance north easterly swell 1-2ft, with little close to shore colour. The 3 hr match started as a ‘heavy’ rain storm passed overhead with thunder and lightning. Members may have been treated to a light show on the horizon but the fish were not feeding. Conditions were very mild 15° C, 1000 mm bar and got worse. Shortly before 9pm, the cloud cover was pushed north west by the south easterly wind to reveal clear skies and a very bright full moon, known as a Blood Moon. The scaurs and kelp beds soon came into easy reach as the fast ebbing tide took a hold, sadly knocking the swell back.
Eleven members, from seventeen, returned to the scales with 21 fish for 37 lb 12 oz. Man of the match Colin Stainthorpe surprised everyone, as he slid a fine cod of 7 lb 06 oz on to the scales, just one of four in a 16 lb 09 oz bag. Colin has set the bar and the man to beat in the Heaviest Fish & Heaviest Bag of Fish sweeps for October.
New junior member Chris McCarthy not only got a weigh-in, an eel of 1 lb 02 oz but can also claim the WSAA Common Eel record for a junior – well done Chris. This equals the senior record set by R Usher, 3rd Oct 1973.
Ben Laws covered a lot of ground and was rewarded with a codling of 4 lb 01½ oz, along with a rockling, to take second place.
After the weigh-in members retired to the Fleece, Church Street, for hot soup & refreshments. After which the draws were done for both Singles & Doubles Knockouts. The first round of the singles starts on Wednesday 15th October, and the doubles a week later on the 22nd October.

17.00 hrs en-route to my fishing mark
Colin Stainthorpe - 6 lb 07 oz
High water 19.24 hrs, 5.52 metres
The unseasonal weather continues 1017 mm bar, clear skies and bright sunshine, giving day time temperatures of 17° C.
Sunday nights 4 hr match was fished over high water, and 2½ hrs of ebb, there was some close to shore north easterly swell. A cool breeze on a virtually cloudless night meant temperatures dropped quickly. Bites were few and far between with many undersized billets being returned. It was a scratching match, members had to change end tackle and catch what was available, in many cases only rocklings and the first of the whitings. Piers, cliffs and deep water tidal marks being favoured rather than local beaches.
Around 9pm as a very red moon rose above the horizon, back lighting the clouds moving in from the north east as the forecasted weather front approached.
Of the 16 members and junior fishing only 11 returned to the scales with an assortment of 38 fish for 43 lb 15 oz.
Man of the match, for the second match in a row with 3 codlings for 10 lb 06 oz and another Heaviest Fish of 6 lb 07 oz was ‘on form’ Colin Stainthorpe. A commendable achievement on such a poor night. Colin’s now tops the leader board by 17 lb 03 oz to second place Matthew Garbutt.

The view from the 'office' as the sunsets and Dave Hambley keeps a keen eye on his rod and makes fine adjustments.

One rockling in the bag, but no more bites, so a change of mark only to watch the red moon rise.

Andrew Cass HFish
High water 21.45 hrs 4.74 metres.
From the angling perspective Monday & Tuesday’s change in the weather brought welcome swell and colour to the NE coast line. Many anglers were out pleasure fishing with some good catch reports, for Wednesday night’s match the swell had dropped and was continuing to drop.
The cool wind was east south east, with north easterly swell on a flooding tide, 1010 mbar with heavy rain forecast. The further east the swell swung the clearer the water became. Members headed out, (alone in many cases), so as not to ‘share’ potential fish catches, as it was the first round of the Singles Knockouts, (with a few surprise results).
Fourteen members returned to the scales with 50 fish for the first 100 lb weigh-in of the season. Andrew Cass was man of the match with both Heaviest Fish 7 lb 00½ oz, and Heaviest Bag 15 lb 03 oz – pipping Colin Stainthorpe by 1 oz. Colin continues to find the fish and has extended his lead, Ben Laws, now second trails by 24 lb 12 oz.
3rd place Dave Perrett, 5 codlings, 1 rockling, 11 lb 06 oz reported landing 1 codling that was ‘not’ hooked, the mop was instead hanging off the bait elastic by its teeth.
Unfortunately for James Gilpin his evenings fishing ended prematurely when his rods end eye cracked its insert and started fraying his main line of expensive braid.
Knockout results:- C Stainthorpe beat B Vasey, A Cass beat R Cope, B Laws beat M Garbutt, I Simpson beat D Hambley, P Horbury beat M Beedle, M Bowman beat J Gilpin, D Perrett beat P Short and the match between P Kilpatrick & J Wrigley will be fished next Wednesday 22nd Oct.
Results:- 50 fish for 100 lb 08 oz

Afternoons dog walk, walking towards Whitby was Okay but on the return you were sand blasted.
You can see the strength of the wind on the waters surface.

Low water 20.21 hrs, 2.37 metres
The tail end of the category 2 hurricane ‘Gonzalo’ swept across the Atlantic hitting the UK mainland dominating the weekends weather. For WSAA members Sunday night’s 4 hr match was definitely a scratching match and it was to be a tough night.
Strong west south west winds, gusting 40mph, flat calm sea state, crystal clear water. Low pressure 1007 mbar, 15°C day time temp, as the totally unseasonal weather for October continues.
Slack tide, fishing over low water 20.21 hrs, 2.37 metres, the weigh-in (if you were lucky enough) was never going to be exceptional. It was still daylight at 7pm and thankfully clocks go back 26th October as British summer time ends. A couple of light rain showers soon blew over to reveal a clear sky and numerous shooting stars. Of the fifteen members fishing only eight returned to the scales with 11 assorted fish, 4 codlings, 6 rocklings and 1 flat fish for 7 lb 09 oz - the poorest weigh-in to date.
Rob Allison was man of the match with both Heaviest Fish 1 lb 05½ oz and Heaviest Bag (2) for 1 lb 10 oz. Members reported small fish bites from billets 29 - 30 cms, all were returned. For those who choose the local beaches there were no whitings, and only 1 flat fish was landed.
Only three members have weighed-in in all 6 matches, Colin Stainthorpe, Ben Laws and Peter Horbury.
Coming up:-
1) Members are reminded there is an Open Match meeting on Tuesday night 8pm Whitby Rifle Club.
2) Sunday 26th - 2nd Royal Marine Association Charity Open fishing - 9am - 2pm.
Top tip - always make sure you pack your head torch.

1023 mbar 15°C
Low water 22.13 hrs, 1.61 metres.
Tail end of hurricane Gonzalo produced a welcome north westerly blow and bringing rough seas on Tuesday, with many pleasure anglers reporting good catch bags. Wednesday nights 3hr match was fished on an ebbing dying north north westerly sea, strong gusting westerly wind with occasional heavy rain showers. 1023 mbar, 15°C. Members fished down to low water (22.13 hrs, 1.61 metres) becoming more exposed to the strong wind, fishing the tangle beds and rough ground. The swells were constant, water was thick with colour, with no surging reported but weed was, with heavy gear loses.
Sixteen members returned to the scales with the seasons best weigh-in 54 fish for 112 lb 08 oz.
Matthew Garbutt with a welcome return to form, man of the match, returning with 7 codlings for 22 lb 02 oz – 1 of 4 double figure bags. Rob Allison, in amongst a bag of 7 for 11 lb 04 oz, landed the Heaviest Fish of the night 7 lb 02 oz. Rob reported his heaviest fish had in fact swallowed a hooked rockling. The ‘rockling’ bite had been noticed, but ignored, as he baited up a second trace.
14 yrs old junior Chris McCarthy, =10th place, showed he could fish & compete with the seniors catching two fish for 4 lb 06 oz, a codling of 3 lb 01½ oz, and a billet. Fishing the east pier with a guardian, he reported that there could only have been a couple of feet of water depth left as low water approached when he caught his codling. Chris was using lug worm and squid baits – well done Chris.

The screaming south westerly wind did not let up all day, and increased in strength for the WSAA 4 hr evening match, 1014 mbar 11°C. The sea state was flat calm, crystal clear with bright sunshine for those who were fishing the 2nd Royal Marines Association Charity Open between the Tees & Whitby 9am - 2pm. Fifty four anglers took part with 21 weighing-in 49 fish - 29 cod, 17 wrasse and 3 flounders. Top 15 anglers weighed-in 103 lb 05 oz.
£580 was raised for the Royal Marines Association.
For WSAA members and last years winner, Rob Allison, came 3rd with 4 fish for 12 lb 08 oz. Denis Thompson had the Heaviest Fish, cod - 4 lb 11 oz (6th overall) and James Jamsy Moore landed the Heaviest Flat Fish winner 13 oz. Dave Hambley (10 lb 05 oz - 4 fish) & Colin Stainthorpe (5 lb 12 oz - 3 fish) came 4th & 7th respectfully.
The evening match was definitely going to be a scratching match and a challenge to find a fishing mark that was sheltered & likely to produce a fish. Once the ebb took a hold, members became more exposed to the elements chasing the tide onto the open scaurs. Some members were forced to change/move/drive between marks in search of a fish due to these harsh conditions, thankfully it did not rain.
Man of the match was Rob Allison with both HF 4 lb 03 oz & HBF 5 lb 06 oz. John Wrigley nee Rigsby reported he had bites every cast, and dropped 2 fish off, returning with 4 for 4 lb 02 oz, for 3rd place.
The last Doubles Knockout 1st Round match between the pairings of B Laws & J Gilpin V D Perrett & B Vasey took place. B Laws & J Gilpin returned victorious to the scales with a combined weight of 5 lb 03 oz as neither D Perrett & B Vasey managed a weigh-in. The next round to be fished 12th November.

Sandsend beach, at low water, 1020 mbar, 10°C
Dave Perrett - 4 lb 15 oz
High water 19.22 hrs 5.41 metres.
BST ended on Sunday and Wednesday nights match started in total darkness on a cool cloudless night. 1 -2 ft of long distance northerly swell, with little colour, was forecast but fishing on the ebb the swell was soon knocked back. The cool south easterly wind saw temperatures drop to 7°C, 1020 mbar, with rain forecast, which thankfully did not materialise.
Cliff marks were popular with members, as others fished the piers and local beaches. Eleven members returned to the scales with a selection of 30 fish for 45 lb 15 oz.
Andrew Cass was man of the match with 4 codlings for 8 lb 04 oz. His HF, a codling of 3 lb 06½ oz. Dave Perrett, on his first cast, landed the Heaviest Fish of the night, a codling of 4 lb 15 oz. Dave reported that the angler next to him, believed to be fishing a Redcar match, was having a good night with at least 22 lb in his bag.
October’s fishing ends and the totally unseasonal weather has led to poor catches for members, 269 fish for 437 lb 11 oz. Compare that to this time last season 479 fish for 667 lb 04 oz. Hopefully November will be more productive.
In the monthly sweeps Matthew Garbutt won the Heaviest Bag of Fish 22 lb 02 oz (Wed 22/10/2014) and Colin Stainthorpe Heaviest Fish 7 lb 06 oz – (Wed 8/10/2014)
Two old members have enrolled, Jay Allison (Jnr) and Jason Ebison, Jason fishing his first match got straight off the mark, and caught 2 whitings for 1 lb 09 oz.
November sees two local Open matches, Filey Brigg Angling Soc. John Smiths Open on Sunday 9th. A fortnight later we, Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. hold our 35th Annual Open on Sunday 23rd. Tickets for both are now available.

Sandsend beach 12.20 hrs, 1004 mbar, 12 °C
South westerly wind 12 mph - gusts 20 mph, east north easterly swell 1 ft (if that), Water crystal clear.
South westerly wind 12 mph - gusts 20 mph, east north easterly swell 1 ft (if that), Water crystal clear.
Rich Cope 4 lb 01 oz
Low water 18.03 hrs 2.15 metres
The mild unseasonal weather continues 1004 mbar, 12 °C at midday, with a cool south westerly wind 12mph. With gusts of 20mph forecast throughout the day, east north easterly swell 1ft (if that), water crystal clear. Members started the 4hr match at low water on a slack tide 2.14 metres. What swell there was, was playing catch-up with the advancing tide, with long periods of flat calm sea state. It was a cloudless night, bright ¾ moon, the cool SW breeze saw temperature drop into single figures.
Despite the poor fishing conditions 16 members were spread far & wide within the boundaries with some surprises. Small fish bites kept members attentive, and being ‘crabbed’ off was common. John Wrigley had both his fish in the bag (5 lb 14 oz) before 7pm and was expecting a bumper night, only to report no more bites, his best 3 lb 05 oz. Mick Bowman’s night ended fishless and suffered a broken reel. Rich Cope’s long trek was rewarded with the Heaviest Fish 4 lb 01 oz, reported frustratedly missing more fish but is still getting used to his new rod.
Man of the match, Iain Simpson with 3 fish for 7 lb 14 oz, his best 3 lb 13 oz. Ten members were at the scales with 26 assorted fish for 39 lb 08 oz.
In the Leader Board Dave Perrett lost 3rd place to Rob Allison, as did Ben Laws to Andrew Cass now 5th. Rich Cope passes Rich Deadman into 8th place. Iain Simpson, up 4 places to 12th.
Members are reminded - Quarter finals of the Singles Knockouts are fished on Wednesday night. Anyone unable to fish ‘must’ arrange with their ‘opponent’ a mutually agreeable date (before the next round) to fish the match.

Matthew back on form
Matthew Garbutt - 4 lb 13½ oz
Low water 20.50 hrs 1.32 metres
An overnight northerly wind lifted everyone’s spirits with a welcome 7 - 11 ft of northerly swell, plenty of colour for the evenings 3 hr match fishing the singles knockout quarter finals. On the eve of a ‘Frosty Moon’ the moon was high & bright, with temperatures dropping due to little cloud cover south of Runswick Bay. 1008 mbar 7°C, the cold northerly wind had eased, as had the swell, members fished down to low water and an hour of flood. No serious problems with weed reported which was surprising, some surging was reported but not strong enough to pull end tackle into snags.
Everyone agreed for the size of tide it had ebbed further than predicted even before the match had begun, holes and scaurs had drained off forcing members to move. Nineteen members were joined by many a pleasure angler, lights were dotted along the coastline. Only two members failed to weigh-in, five members returned with double figure bags for the best weigh-in of the season 129 lb 03 oz.
Matthew Garbutt returns to form, Man of the Match, with 9 codlings for 27 lb 08 oz, HF 4 lb 13½ oz, taking the championship lead from Colin Stainthorpe by 5 lb 15 oz. Matthew has set a high bar in the Monthly Sweeps for members to beat. Matthew reported that changing bait, to worm only, made the difference. Mick Beedle reported snapping 2 fish off and dropping another. Fish of a better stamp 4 lb graced the scales, first by Paul Short 4 lb 06 oz, Mick Beedle 4 lb 09 oz and Andrew Cass.

High water 17.20 hrs 5.68 metres & low water 23.38 hrs 1.15 metres
Sunday morning started cold 5°C 1003 mbar, south south westerly wind with a little north north westerly swell (with colour) for those of us who were fishing the John Smiths Filey Brigg Angling Society Open 10am-3pm. Bright sunshine saw the wind drop but the sea state stayed the same all day leading into the member’s 4hr evening match.
By 8pm the wind had freshened bringing a definite chill on a cloudless night during an all ebb match, with the swell dyeing once the ebb took a hold. A bright orange moon rising above the horizon did not help the already poor conditions.
Eighteen members were fishing cliffs, piers and beaches in search of a weigh-in. Fifteen returned to the scales with 45 assorted fish for 59 lb 11 oz - 26 codlings, 10 whitings, 7 rocklings, 1 billet and 1 pollock.
Man of the match was Rich Cope with 3 codlings for 8 lb 02 oz, his HF 3 lb 05 oz. Matthew Garbutt, 2nd, had the HF 5 lb 09 oz, (now HF of month leader) Matthew also had a good rockling of 15½ oz. Dave Hambley landed a pollock, the first to grace the scales this season. James Gilpin landed a good whiting 1 lb 06½ oz, the Club Senior Record whiting is 1 lb 12 oz landed by Colin Stainthorpe last season 19/02/2014 (no junior has claimed heaviest whiting).
Doubles Semi Finals to be fished on Wednesday night.

Iain Simpson HFish
High water 19.18 hrs 5.33 metres
Tuesday saw the sea state change for the better at this time of year and this continued into Wednesday nights 3 hr club match. A welcome north north easterly swell and a cool south south easterly wind, 20 mph with gusts of 30 mph on a cloudless night, 9°C, 998 mbar. The forecasted dropping swell of 4-3 ft steadily grew, swell sets were regular and at times heavy. High water was at 19.18 hrs, 5.12 metres with plenty of colour but weed was a problem on some marks as was river wash debris, leaves and grass.
There had been some good catch reports on social media so members were looking forward to a good nights fishing, however you were either on the fish or not all. Fifteen members returned to the scales with the best weigh-in of the season, 62 fish, 52 codlings 8 rocklings & 2 billets for 144 lb 10 oz. Five double figure bags, the best from Matthew Garbutt 24 lb 03 oz, who tops the Leader Board at 104 lb 11 oz. Heaviest Fish of the night 5 lb 02½ oz fell to Iain ‘Simmo’ Simpson.
There was just one Doubles Knockout semi-final match fished:- Matthew Garbutt & Peter Horbury (24 lb 03 oz) beat Colin Stainthorpe & Mick Beedle (11 lb 12 oz) by 12 lb 07 oz. The match between pairs Ben Laws, James Gilpin V Rich Cope, Mick Bowman to be fished Sunday.

Low water 17.19 hrs 2.72 metres
Sunday morning calm, very foggy, 9°C, 1003 mbar, sea state 3-4 ft of NEasterly swell, with plenty of colour. The northerly wind grew throughout the day and by the start of the 4 hr evening match it was strong, bringing heavy rain at 7pm which did not let up. Low water was supposed to be at 17.19 hrs 2.72 metres on a very slack tide but the wind kept the tide in, developing into surges. Weed was a major problem with heavy gear losses as anglers tangled with the masses of kelp in the surf.
The overall catch was not as good as expected, only two double figure bags, with fifteen of the nineteen members returning to the scales with 37 codlings, 4 rocklings for 81 lb 01 oz. Man of the match was Rich Cope with 8 fish for 18 lb 01 oz, his HF 3 lb 06½ oz. In the last 3 matches Rich has weighed-in 15 fish for 34 lb 07 oz and is now 5th in the leader Board.
In second place Rob Allison - 7 fish for 13 lb 02 oz, landed the HF of the night 4 lb 13 oz. Rob, like Rich, is also fishing very well, and has also landed 15 fish in the last 3 matches for 36 lb 12 oz, now lies 2nd in the Leader Board, with a deficit of only 26 lb to leader Matthew Garbutt.
Paul Short reported being unable to bait up fast enough as he was pulling in fish after fish in the first hour, unfortunately many were undersized. Paul’s HF 4 lb 09 oz was caught mid match with fresh peeler crab.
In the Doubles Knockouts Rich Cope & Mick Bowman beat James Gilpin & Ben Laws 25 lb 04 oz to 4 lb 09 oz.

Low water 20.03 hrs 2.0 metres
The swell from Sunday continued but shifted more to the east (2-4 ft), as is the case on an easterly the colour had dropped out, leaving crystal clear water which is not ideal but was alleviated by heavy cloud cover making for a dark night on the scaurs. Low water 20.03 hrs, 2.0 metres, the high pressure 1022 mbar made for a 1.5 metre ebb, allowing members to reach favourite LW marks casting into the tangle beds. No reports of problems with weed but surging kept members alert and on their toes. Wind ESE moving SE 17 mph which, for some, brought torrential rain, just like Sunday. Temperatures are very mild for this time of year 10°C.
Another good weigh-in, 43 assorted fish for 80 lb 12 oz for 14 members returning to the scales from 17 fishing. Two double figure bags from Andrew Cass and Matthew Garbutt. Andrew & Matthew are now tying on 3 match wins each. Andrew’s bag of 7 codlings & 1 rockling for
22 lb 12 oz propels him from 6th to 2nd in the Leader Board 31 lb 04 oz behind leader Matthew on 117 lb 15 oz.
Heaviest Fish of the night 5 lb 08 oz fell to Colin Stainthorpe equal 4th with Dave Hambley who caught a specimen blegg 1 lb 10½ oz (WSAA record is 2 lb 07 oz held by Rob Allison 09/10/2011).
Bernard Vasey could of gone home at 8pm with 2 fish in the bag for 6 lb 04 oz HF 4 lb 14½ oz as the fish stopped biting thereafter. Rob Allison reported for the 3rd time this season codlings had ‘taken’ hooked rocklings, almost pulling his rod out of the rod rest. Heaviest Average Fish, Mick Beedle currently leads - 2 lb 06 oz.

Sandsend beach 08.15 hrs en-route to my fishing mark
One hundred and two anglers, of which there were ninety eight seniors and 4 juniors, taking part in the 35th One Day Shore Angling Open match held by Whitby Sea Anglers Association. The first place prize of £500 sponsored by Wilf Nobles Plant Hire & Construction, represented by James Noble.
Conditions were far from ideal for perfect fishing, high pressure 1018 mbar, 10°C, easterly swell 1ft with colour which dropped out as the flood took hold. The swells were not regular, as their strength could not keep up with the flood, leading to periods of calm. The north westerly wind slowly moved west north west 14 mph, which brought rain showers for the first 2 hrs of the 6hr match fished from 10am to 4pm. Weigh-in was between 4.30-5.15pm at the Fleece, Church St. Whitby.
Twenty nine seniors and two juniors weighed-in 91 assorted fish for a grand total of 198 lb 00 oz - 70 codlings, 13 wrasse, 3 poutings, 2 pollocks, 2 billets and 1 flat fish.

After the success of our annual Open match on Sunday, it was back to evening matches, conditions were far from favourable. 1018 mbar, 8°C, gentle east south easterly breeze which brought heavy drizzle. Sea state earlier in the afternoon was north north east slight swell, no more than 1 ft and crystal clear water. By high water 18.22 hrs, the only change was some colour, which surprised many.
Fifteen members were fishing the 3hr match, the finalists for the Singles Knockouts would be decided tonight. No one appeared to head for the cliff marks for the all ebb tide, preferring the east & west Whitby piers and local beaches in search of a whiting or two. Members reported being kept ‘busy’ continually pestered with undersized billets - 32 cms, whitings were few and far between.
Ben Laws & Bernard Vasey, hooked their fish shortly after 7 pm on their first casts. Ben debated beaching his, as he was up high on rock armour. It kept its head down and swam between the rocks with the slight swell and thankfully he was able to lift it clear. When laid on the concrete it was a light soft green coloured codling, clearly a fresh run fish which is a good sign.
Ben moved off the rock armour and onto the beach as the tide ebbed and was rewarded with 2 whitings, his HF 4 lb 07 oz making 3 fish for 5 lb 10 oz giving him his first win of the season.
Bernard Vasey won Heaviest Fish of the match 4 lb 15 oz.
A very disappointing weigh-in for the time of year, only 6 of the 15 members were at the scales, 12 assorted fish for
18 lb 13 oz - the poorest weigh-in for November to date.
In the Singles Knockouts:-
Ben Laws 5 lb 10 oz (3) beat Andrew Cass 0 lb 14 oz (1)
Dave Perrett 3 lb 06 (3) oz beat Mick Bowman 0 lb 00 oz

Andrew Cass - 11 lb 12½ oz
A slack tide, flooding to high water, not ideal, with some north north westerly blash (surface waves 1ft) greeted the 17 members fishing the 4hr match. There was no colour due to the lack of depth to the sea state, 1014 mbar, 9°C north north westerly wind 16 mph which by 9pm turned north north east, like a switch, bringing rain and turned much colder.
Friday night Bernard Vasey was out and about, weighed the Heaviest Fish out of Competition (to date) 6 lb 06 oz, well done Bernard.
Sunday AM - The Mick Hillaby Memorial Trophy was fished 11am - 5pm. Mike Vasey, Whitby, won, and still on form from our WSAA Open, Rob Allison was second.
Cliff marks, and beaches were popular marks as members searched for any weigh-in as expectations were low. However, at the scales were eleven members with a few surprises, 2 double figure bags from Andrew Cass & Matthew Garbutt, who found the fish.
Man of the match was Andrew, with his 4th win, beaming with delight he slid 3 codlings in the weigh pan for
21 lb 05 oz, in his bag the Heaviest Fish of the month and Season (to date) 11 lb 12½ oz - well done Cassy. Matthew had 3 codlings & 2 rocklings for 14 lb 02 oz. Andrew has retaken 2nd place from Rob Allison, in the leader board and trails Matthew by only 17 lb 11 oz.

Low water 19.40 hrs 1.76 metres
The sea state that anglers had enjoyed around Whitby’s coastline on Monday & Tuesday had fallen away as the high pressure centre moved above the north east, 1031 mbar.
Consequently the north easterly winds had fallen, the temperatures dropping to near freezing at night with day time temps 9°C to 4°C.
For Wednesday nights 3hr match the NE wind had dropped to a mere breeze, 3°C, so wind chill was not a problem. Clear skies with a bright near full moon did not help with the water colour only slightly milky. The northerly swell, 1ft, continued to drop further during the ebb and members reported a slight increase in the flood.
High pressure pushed the ebbing tide back further than forecasted in tide tables and aided members who were able to fish the tangle beds off the scaurs. There were no whitings to be had on the local beaches, and the number of bleggs / poutings caught confirm the water clarity. 14 of the 22 members fishing were at the scales with 27 assorted fish for a poor 42 lb weigh-in to start December.
Dave Perrett was man of the match with 4 codlings for 10 lb 02 oz, his HF of 4 lb 00½ oz was not good enough to take HF of the match as Mick Bowman had a single codling of 4 lb 02½ oz for second place.
In the Doubles Knockout final Rich Cope & Mick Bowman 7 lb 04 oz beat Mathew Garbutt & Peter Horbury 4 lb 04 oz
Christmas match will be on Sunday 21st Dec and members are reminded to pay their dues ASAP - £10 to Dave Perrett.
In the next round of the “Yorkshire Fours” competition, fished on Tuesday night, ‘Whitby B’ beat ‘Filey A’ (3 to 1) with Matthew Garbutt recording a codling of 6 lb 06 oz to equal the Heaviest Fish caught out of Competition by Bernard Vasey.

Full Cold Moon
Colin Stainthorpe HFish
High water 16.23 hrs 5.64 m & low water 22.43 hrs 1.17m
A bright cold start to Sunday 4°C, 1014 mbar, flat calm sea state, clear to milky water and a bitter westerly wind for those members fishing the Cloughton Open. A Heaviest Fish match, well done to WSAA members, Colin Stainthorpe, 11th with a codling of 4 lb 01 oz, and Rob Allison 3 lb 13 oz came 15th picking up a £50 Special Place prize.
The strong winds saw the sea state grow all day to west north westerly swell for the 4hr evening match. There was no change however in the water colour as the sea grew, the 97% visible ‘Full Cold Moon’ for December was bright, and high on a cloudless night which did not help with fish bites which few and far between.
Fishing an all ebb match members were chasing a fast ebbing tide to reach the tangle beds on the open and exposed scaurs. Temperature had dropped to 2°C, the wind chill made baiting up painful. The match was definitely ‘hard work’, and for those 9 of 14 members returning to the scales had done well.
Man of the match was Matthew Garbutt 4 codlings for 5 lb 07 oz, his heaviest fish 1 lb 10 oz. Colin Stainthorpe, second, landed the Heaviest Fish of the night 3 lb 03 oz.
It total 13 codlings, 4 rocklings, 4 whitings, & 1 billet were weighed for 23 lb 15 oz, nearly 20 lb down on last Wednesday, making it the poorest weigh-in for December.
Nearing half way through the season as Christmas nears, and Matthew’s lead now stands at 25 lb 09 oz over second place Andrew Cass surprisingly only 29 lb 10 oz separates second down to sixth place, making it one of the closest fought seasons, just one good bag before the forthcoming lean months could make all the difference.

Matthew Garbutt - 6 lb 10 oz
High water 18.13 hrs 5.41 metres
One national newspaper quoted the UK was being battered by a ‘Weather Bomb’. Wednesday night’s 3hr match was very uncomfortable as members were battered by a 31mph west south westerly icy wind, 4°C dropping to 2°C by 10pm, with gusts forecasted at 48mph. The atmospheric pressure had steadily dropped throughout the day, 1002 mbar, as the low pressure system moved over us. Sea state during the day was flat calm and clear.
Fishing the all ebb match, an hour after high water, finding a sheltered mark was not going to be easy, even cliff marks were affected, as the whirlwind hugged the coastline. With bowed lines the wind pulled end tackle into snags and bite detection was impossible at times with a few ‘Larry lay ons’ reported. Around 8pm conditions deteriorated further and for ½ hr, members endured an icy torrential rain shower which blew ‘in & over’, for a while thereafter the wind abated, shifting to the south. As the ebb took hold, the sea state was steadily growing with surges, by the end of the match some marks were ‘whiting out’.
Matthew Garbutt, with his 5th win, was Man of the Match with 3 codlings for 12 lb 05 oz and the Heaviest Fish 6 lb 10 oz. Matthew’s ‘bag and fish’ now take the lead in the monthly sweeps for December. Mick Beedle and Colin Stainthorpe had fish of 4 lb and 3 lb 12 oz respectively.
In the Leader Board, Ben Laws and Mick Beedle are the only movers.
Christmas match is on Sunday 21st, fishing 2pm to 7pm members are reminded to register and pay their £10 entry ASAP to WSAA Treasurer Dave Perrett.
The Singles Knockout Final between Ben Laws & Dave Perrett will be fished on Wednesday 17th December.

High water 21.11 hrs 4.69 metres
Sunday nights 4 hr match started with strong south westerly winds, heavy cloud cover and an hours icy rainfall. Soon after the wind dropped, and the temperature dropped as the clouds blew over to reveal clear skies and numerous shooting stars from a meteor shower. 1004 mbar 9°C
The long distance northerly swell was intermittent and weak, unable to keep pace with the flooding tide. Long periods of calm lead to timid fish bites despite plenty of colour in the water. Members tried numerous fish bait cocktails to tempt the fish and reported the preferred bait was green crab and frozen lug worm cocktails. Come 9pm the wind picked up from the west and was notably colder 4°C.
13 of the 21 members fishing returned to the scales with 37 fish for 86 lb 07 oz. Man of the match, Denis Thompson with 4 codlings for 14 lb 05 oz, his best 4 lb 15 oz. This is now the ‘lead’ bag in the monthly sweeps. James ‘King Cod’ Gilpin, 2nd with 2 codlings, and 1 rockling for 11 lb 11 oz, with the Heaviest Fish of the night 6 lb 07 oz. James is the biggest mover in the Leader Board up from 19th to 15th place. Paul Short, fishing the beach, landed a good codling of 5 lb 11 oz, 3 whitings for 8 lb 05 oz for 3rd place.
Paul Kilpatrick has staked a claim on the Heaviest Fish caught out of Competition (Sandsend Trophy) landing a spragg of 7 lb 04 oz on Friday night. Wednesday night the final of the Singles Knockouts will be fished between Ben Laws and Dave Perrett. Dave Perrett has won this twice - Seasons 1981-1982 & 2009 - 2010.

Sandsend beach at high water 12.11 hrs swell was dropping
Andrew Cass HFish
Low water 18.25 hrs 2.44 metres
The penultimate match of 2014, Singles Knockouts final and the slackest tide of the month for the 3 hr, all flood match. Sea state, long distance northerly swell 2 ft but intermittent, and some colour in the water. Strong, gusting westerly wind for those in exposed areas hampering casting and bite detection. Mild 11°C, 1003 mbar
Twenty one members were fishing on what could have been a promising weigh-in but only two double figure bags graced the scales from Colin Stainthorpe and Andrew Cass.
Only thirteen members managed a weigh-in, 37 fish for 76 lb 03 oz, 33 codlings, 3 rocklings and 1 flat fish. For those on the beach the lack of whitings was disappointing but James ‘Jamsy’ Moore landed the 2nd heaviest fish of the night 4 lb 02 oz from the sand.
Colin Stainthorpe was man of the match with 6 codlings for 16 lb 04 oz, with his 3rd win of the season. Colin’s bag takes the lead in the monthly sweeps. On form, Andrew Cass, 2nd with 13 lb 07 oz landed the Heaviest Fish of the night
5 lb 00 oz.
Singles Knockout finalist Ben Laws, early to the scales, with 1 codling and a rockling for 2 lb 02 oz waited as the weigh masters kept an eye on the time. Leaving it to the last minute (as is the norm), Dave Perrett arrived and slid 3 codlings on to the scales, for 5 lb 15 oz beating Ben Laws by 3 lb 12 oz. Ben & Dave shook hands, Dave last won in 2009/2010 Season, and before that, 1981/1982 Season.
Sunday 21st is the members Christmas Match where no one goes home without a prize. 7 - 11 ft of swell forecast!!

High water 15.19 hrs 5.49 metres & low water 21.39 hrs 1.30 metres
Last match of 2014 and members close the year at the seasons mid-point with their annual Christmas match, where no one goes home without a prize. The match very kindly and generously sponsored again this year by Malcolm & Paula Pitman of Whitby Seafishing Supplies £100 – split £50, £30, £20 for 1st, 2nd & 3rd respectively. Heaviest Fish sweep wins the Help a Capital Child trophy. Presentation and a warming festive carvery was at The Stakesby Arms, Whitby. Many thanks to Tracey Stevens and her staff for their hospitality.
The forecasted 7 - 11 ft northerly swell never materialized and what northerly swell there was on the morning flood was knocked back by a screaming south westerly on the ebb tide. The 5 hr match started at 2pm, an hour and twenty before high water (15.20 hrs, 5.49 metres). Air pressure 1028 mbar, & 8°C at start. Some marks had colour where others did not, but generally fishing was hard work with the majority of members moving and travelling between different marks in search of a fish or two.
Early evening and there was a lull in the wind as it moved south south westerly bringing milder conditions 11°C, extremely mild for this time of year. Once darkness fell members reported being pestered by small billets over 30 cms but still under the size limit of 35 cms.
Of the 23 members fishing only 12 returned to the scales with an assortment of fish - 21 codlings, 2 billets, 9 rocklings, 1 whiting & 1 pollock for 61 lb 01 oz. The pollock 2 lb 15 oz, was the shock of the match, fell to Mick Beedle and was caught from Sandsend cliff and at the time Mick thought it was a billet bite until he hauled it up the cliff. No one recalls ever catching a pollock here. Mick also had a codling of 3 lb and lost a couple of others.
Man of the match and the 2014/2015 Christmas match champion is Matthew Garbutt who had 4 codlings and a rockling for 13 lb. Matthew first won the trophy in 2011.
In 2nd place was Colin Stainthorpe with 9 lb 15 oz with 3 codlings, a rockling, and the Heaviest Fish of the match at 5 lb 00½ oz.
Rob Allison was 3rd 3 codlings and a rockling, his HF 3 lb 09½ oz for 8 lb 07 oz. Honorary Chairman William Atkinson was on hand to present the trophies and prizes.
That concludes December’s match fishing - 172 fish were caught for 326 lb 06 oz. In the monthly sweeps HB fell to Colin Stainthorpe 16 lb 04 oz Wed 17th and HF 6 lb 10 oz fell to Matthew Garbutt Wed 10th.
Many thanks to Bernard Vasey & James Gilpin for manning the weigh station. Huge thank you to WSAA Treasurer Dave Perrett for providing all the placed, and raffle prizes, stuffing the Christmas crackers with raffle tickets and scratch cards.
Well done to James Pearce, sadly unable to fish the Christmas match was pleasure fishing on Saturday night and was rewarded with a 3 lb 09 oz bass, in December!!
WSAA would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy and prosperous New Year. Tight lines for 2015.
During the festive break there is the Festive Sweepstake on Sunday 28th, fishing 2pm to 8pm, weigh-in at Red Lion, Cloughton by 9pm.
Don’t forget there is The Station Inn Open fishing 9am to 3pm Sunday 4th January 2015.

Sandsend beach at sunset
Rob Allison - 5 lb 04½ oz
An early start, bright and cold 1°C, 1034 mbar, 5-7 ft dying northerly swell with slight colour and a gentle west north west wind for the all flood match. Come 18.00 hrs for the WSAA evening match a frost was laying, the sea state had steadily dropped off during the flood tide, the swell was not strong enough to overcome the flood and subsequent ebb tide. Clear skies, a very bright ‘Wolf Moon’ did not help members, which was reflected at the scales, and under sized billets had tortured members.
Seventeen members fished the evening match but only 9 were at the scales with 21 fish for 53 lb. Matthew Garbutt was man of the match returning with 6 codlings for
15 lb 08 oz, setting the bar for the monthly sweeps with Rob Allison, weighing the Heaviest Fish of the night at
5 lb 04½ oz for January.
Rob Allison’s bag of 10 lb 15 oz has moved him from 4th to 2nd in the Leader Board, as Colin Stainthorpe & Andrew Cass did not weigh-in, with James Gilpin the biggest mover, up 3 places to 14th.

Another low pressure system over the north west coastline brought a screaming south westerly, 32 mph winds with gusts of 55 mph. Finding a sheltered mark was not going to be easy, and everyone knew it was to be a hard match, 1020 mbar in the morning dropped to 1006 mbar, morning temp of 5°C rose to 8°C for the 3 hr Wednesday night match. Fishing an all ebb match with flat calm sea state with no colour it was made harder as the bright Wolf Moon was still with us with little cloud cover. Participation was low to 'man flu' striking.
Casting at the start of the match was not easy with the wind whipping around the land mass hugging the coast line. Chasing the fast ebbing tide members became more exposed and had to ensure their bags and bait buckets was well anchored down. For those of us on the beach it didn't take long for the wind to pick up the fast drying sand, which got everywhere.
Bite detection was nye on impossible, either holding or watching your supported rod. The only feasible way was to lay your rod as low as possible on a tripod in line with wind direction, and hold the line in between your fingers. By 21.20 hrs the wind was easing, which helped bite detection, picked up a second whiting with 10 minutes to go. Both my whitings a good size, each over 1 lb, under sized billets and codlings, as Sunday were reported.
The weigh-in just beat the worst ever this season, Oct 19th 2014, by 5 oz with only 5 members at the scales, 4 codlings and 2 whitings gracing the weigh pan. Man of the match, including the Heaviest Fish, with his first win of the season Paul Short, a codling of 2 lb 14 oz.
No change in the Leader Board, the average fish weight for the season to date 1 lb 14 oz, and the highest average is

Peter Horbury - 7 lb 08 oz
High water 19.38 hrs 5.0 metres
Sunday nights 4 hr match was not going to be an easy match, with very similar wind conditions as last Wednesday night, a screaming west south westerly wind, 30 mph, gusting 49 mph, however the sweetener was the welcome north north westerly sea state 5-7 ft which had been running all day. Water was thick with colour and cloud cover was heavy, thankfully no rain. 1015 mbar, 7°C, which is very mild for this time of year.
During the day some members had fished the ‘Whitley Bay Open’, and well done to WSAA member Ben Laws who was 5th overall, winning £50, weighing 2 codlings for 7 lb 04 oz, his Heaviest Fish 6 lb 01 oz.
Expectations were high for the clubs evening match, finding a sheltered fishable mark was a challenge. Fishing the last 1 hr 40 mins of flood and into ebb, surging was a problem with periods of calm followed by heavy deep swells. No reports of weed problems just under sized billets & codlings. By 20.30 hrs the wind was easing and shifting further to the south.
Man of the match was Rob Allison, with his fourth win of the season, 8 codlings for 20 lb 09 oz, his HF 5 lb 13 oz. The deficit to Matthew Garbutt now only 39 lb, extending his lead over Colin Stainthorpe to 16 lb 07 oz.
Heaviest Fish of the night fell to WSAA Secretary Peter Horbury, a spragg of 7 lb 08 oz, caught mid match on fresh lug worm on a two hook 3/0 trace. His match nearly came to an abrupt end when his reel’s bail arm flipped back over during casting, resulting in the rod end shattering on rocks, but carried on regardless – that’s fishing.
Nice to see a better stamp of fish at the weigh-in, all were codling for a change, at this time of year all fat bellied and heavy with kelk, (cod roe).

Expectations for Wednesday’s nights 3 hr match were low, as another low pressure system brought south westerly winds and a virtual calm sea state, save 1 ft of close to shore north north westerly swell with crystal clear water. Early morning a cold start 0°C, 999 mbar by 6pm temp had risen slightly 5°C, but pressure had dropped 987 mbar as the storm neared Whitby, aptly called Rachel. For every 1 mbar change in air pressure can mean a rise or fall of 1 cms in the tide.
To be honest by 7pm the wind didn’t know which way to blow, south westerly soon became southerly, then northerly, which ever, all bringing heavy rain, sleet and hail. Very inclement, uncomfortable, and impossible to keep bait and gear dry. The wind increased throughout the match and was forecasted to reach speeds of 60 mph. Fishing an all flood, scratching, match, there was no shelter to be gained as members were pushed up the beaches to the headland. For those that choose the piers only the determined stayed for the full match as the wind raged down the Esk valley and through the harbour.
Eight members returned to the scales with an assortment of only 15 fish for 11 lb 10 oz. Matthew Garbutt had 3 fish for 2 lb 13 oz, and Heaviest Fish, the only codling to grace the scale pan at 1 lb 10½ oz. As of late, members again reported lots of undersized billets and flat fish, whitings have not been as numerous this season.
The weather is not set to change, as more low pressure systems from an Atlantic cyclone near, bringing violent weather fronts. Weather men predict a rare phenomenon - a cold weather thunderstorm where large quantities of snow fall instead of rain.
Stay safe - tight lines.

Rich Cope - 6 lb 00 oz
Low water 20.34 hrs 1.6 metres
The northerly swell had been steadily growing all day, little to no colour in the water, but, what was not foreseen was the growing strength of the northerly wind in the evening. Day time temps had been just above 0°C, 1013 mbar, rising to 3°C. The weather became increasingly inclement around 17.00 hrs, with heavy snow falling, quickly turning to sleet, but lying on higher ground above Lythe at East Barnby.
Fishing over low water for the 4hr match members were left exposed to the elements on the open scaurs. The wind got stronger and threw everything it had, snow, sleet, rain and stinging hail. Wind chill became a factor when baiting up and changing end tackle with wet hands.
That strengthening wind was much stronger than the ebbing tide, which was pushed back time & time again, causing large surges, far from ideal, dragging end tackle into snags with heavy loses. Fish bites were hard to detect and no reports of weed. Admittedly my second fish was a Larry lay on. The tide turned quickly, with no obvious ‘low water’ and shortly before 9pm the wind eased, making casting and bite detection easier.
Sixteen members were fishing the match with a few retiring after a couple of hours, as the conditions deteriorated, for the warmth of a log fire and the snooker. Three double figure bags, 31 codlings were weighed-in for 81 lb 07 oz - the second best weigh-in for January.
Man of the match was Matthew Garbutt, his 9th win, topping the scales with 9 codlings for 18 lb 12 oz. Rich Cope had 3 near identical codlings for 15 lb 10 oz and the Heaviest Fish of the night 6 lb 00 oz.
Results:- 31 codlings for 81 lb 07 oz

Sixteen members were fishing the match with a few retiring after a couple of hours, as the conditions deteriorated, for the warmth of a log fire and the snooker. Three double figure bags, 31 codlings were weighed-in for 81 lb 07 oz - the second best weigh-in for January.
Man of the match was Matthew Garbutt, his 9th win, topping the scales with 9 codlings for 18 lb 12 oz. Rich Cope had 3 near identical codlings for 15 lb 10 oz and the Heaviest Fish of the night 6 lb 00 oz.

James Pearce's undersized bass
|
Dave Perrett
Low water 22.57 hrs 0.6 metres
A new moon made for a large ebb tide that went like a train, never a good combination for angling. Slight north north easterly swell, crystal clear water to a slight milkiness in colour, a gentle cool 1°C south easterly breeze which carried heavy cloud cover dropping a light flutter of snow, quickly turning to drizzle for the whole match, 1013 mbar.
Nine members returned to the scales with 14 assorted fish for a poor 23 lb 05 oz weigh-in. Dave Perrett, last to the scales, had only one codling, not only the Heaviest Fish of the night at 5 lb 02½ oz, but the heaviest bag. Bites were few and far between, Ben Laws reported hooking 3 fish but could not get them out of the tangles. James Pearce landed an undersized bass (and a codling), while James Gilpin landed a spider crab on the west pier.
Well done to ‘Whitby B’ team, Ben Laws, Rich Cope, Andrew Cass and Matthew Garbutt who beat ‘Cloughton’ on Tuesday night in the ‘Yorkshire Fours’. Cloughton’s team - Simon Barker, Mick Chadwick, Chris France and Jeremy Robinson were beaten 3-1. Ben Laws reported twice catching two codlings on a pennel rig. Approximate weights were Ben (8) 17 lb, Rich (2) 5 lb, Andrew (3) 6 lb and Matthew (3) 9 lb. The date for the final, lead by team Capt. Pete Dunn, from Scarborough Rock Anglers, is yet to be decided.
This Sunday 25th Jan is the ‘Amble Open’, and a number of WSAA members are making the journey including Ben Laws, who will be defending the trophy as last year’s winner.
Results:- 14 assorted fish for 23 lb 05 oz

Afternoon dog walk along Sandsend beach 13.25 hrs, 1.3 metres
Dave Perrett - 6 lb 07 oz
High water 19.31 hrs 5.7 metres
The see-sawing weather continues, Saturday night was bitterly cold with temperatures around 0°C with a good bit of northerly sea running, with colour. Ideal conditions and many pleasure anglers were ‘out & about’, beach, pier and cliffs were all lit up, including James Pearce and myself. James had two for 10 lb, his best, 6 lb, which when gutted was found to have eaten a squashed drinks can.
Come Sunday and the north north westerly swell had been knocked back (again) by the south westerly wind, 10°C. 1026 mbar, clear water conditions but heavy cloud cover, made for a dark night and thankfully no rain. Expectations were low as members fished ‘up & over’ high water and was effectively a scratching match, any fish for a weigh-in.
Swell for the 4hr match was long distance 1-2 ft at best, with an irregular rhythm making for surges and periods of calm. Members reported being pestered, but at the same time kept busy, by undersized billets, nee bait robbers. Come 9pm the wind freshened to west south west bringing a definite chill to the air as the temperature once again began to drop. James Pearce reported losing a bass of 2 lb at his feet in the surf.
A poor weigh-in as only six members returned to the scales with 11 assorted fish - 5 whitings, 3 codlings, 1 billet, 1 blegg & 1 flat fish for 15 lb 14 oz. Dave Perrett, last to the scales, as is the norm, when asked what he had, replied ‘Just the one’, smiling and slid a fine codling of 6 lb 07 oz on the pan for both Heaviest Bag & Heaviest Fish for ‘man of the match’. Paul Short did well to find 5 whitings and a flat fish for 4 lb 05 oz, giving him his second 2nd place. No change on the Leader Board, only 20 lb separates 6th through 9th for Dave Perrett, Ben Laws and Rich Cope.
Earlier in the day members and many local anglers had been fishing the ‘Amble Open’, unlike last year when WSAA member Ben Laws won the event there were no local winners reported.

Andrew Cass - 10 lb 14 oz
|
High water 22.38 hrs 4.8 metres
The last match of January was not going to be comfortable, very strong cold westerly wind with gusts of 50mph, a growing northerly swell with a touch of secondary westerly. 996 mbar and 2°C with the added wind chill was not a night to forget your gloves for the all flood match.
A match some members will not forget, nor probably allowed to. Paul Short’s match started badly, forgetting his main lamp we assured him we had spares should he need one. At 8pm he made the 2 mile return trek to his car for a spare rod as the end ring had snapped off, and was later rewarded with 2 codlings for 4 lb 01 oz for sheer determination to fish come what may.
By 9pm the clear starlit sky disappeared as a heavy snow storm enveloped the north east coast line. By 21.45 hrs Andrew Cass was thoroughly dejected and about to throw the towel in, having had no bites all night, when his brother-in-law James ‘King Cod’ Gilpin gave him some ‘manly banter’. Andrew threaded his last 3 worms on and lobbed a cast 10yds, as if to say ‘happy now James?’ Placing his rod in the rod stand, thrust his hands deep in his pockets and withdrawing deep into his coat for warmth when James shouted ‘grab your rod’, as it nodded gently 3 times. No sooner had he picked up his rod when it bent double as the fish made a run for it being only 10 yds out Cassy had a fight on.
The problem now was landing the fish safely, and timing was all down to James’ skill. The lift was not going to be easy as the waves were turning, rising and falling below. Landing the fish at 21.59 hrs, James estimated a weight of 10 lb 11 oz and was out only by 3 oz, tipping the scales at 10 lb 14 oz and Cassy hasn't stopped smiling since and hopefully he will buy James a pint or two!
Six of only ten members fishing returned to the scales, as snowflakes the size of saucers fell, 9 codlings - 27 lb 02 oz. Andrew’s fish gave him his 5th win of the season, HBoF & HF of the night, Heaviest Fish of the month and boosted his leading ‘Average Fish Weight’ for the season to 2 lb 10 oz for the new tankard donated by Peter Horbury.
Top tip - take notice of the weather warning and leave ‘plenty’ of time to reach the weigh-in with your fish before it closes.
Results:- 9 codlings for 27 lb 02 oz

PB for Ben Laws
Ben Laws - 14 lb 07½ oz
Low water 20.59 hrs 1.6 metres
Northerly gales over the weekend made for a massive northerly swell, peaking at 16 ft, which did not let up until late Sunday afternoon. 1002 mbar, 2°C, wind was forecasted at 26 mph with gusts of up to 40 mph decreasing for Sundays 4 hr evening match. Fishing down to low water 20.59 hrs 1.6 metres finding a fishable mark with no weed and shelter was not going to be easy. A short snow flurry at the start of the match from heavy cloud cover shielding a bright near full moon, water was thick with colour, no one had an easy time.
Fifteen members fished, reporting some weed problems but nothing that was not fishable. The biggest spoiler, not only the bitterly cold wind, but the surging, as the tide ebbed very fast and pushed back by the wind. The surging continued all match and at no point could one say it was low water as the rise and fall was so great.
Eleven members returned to the scales with 27 codlings and 1 rockling for 70 lb 02 oz, an excellent weigh-in in such arduous conditions with one double figure bag.
It is that time of year when the big cod are all kelked up and ready for spawning, an anglers dream to land one. Ben Laws, last to the scales did just that with his 2nd win of the season, and what a night to do it. Needing a hand to steady the weigh pan, weighed a fine cod of 14 lb 07½ oz, with 2 others for a total of 18 lb 10 oz. Ben has set a high marker in both the HF & HBoF for February’s monthly sweeps and his fish, now the Heaviest Fish of the season beating Andrew Cass’ cod of 11 lb 12½ oz, 9th Nov ’14, well done.
Ben has now moved up to 6th in the Leader Board, passing Dave Perrett, is now only 4 lb 13 oz behind Paul Short. Paul Short has been the most consistent member with 30 weigh-ins from 32 matches.
Results:- 27 codlings, 1 rockling for 70 lb 02 oz

Ben Laws - 5 lb 14 oz
Low water 22.49 hrs 1.1 metres
The northerly wintery winds continued bringing some snow disruption to local roads on higher ground on Wednesday morning. The occasional snow shower during the day was replaced with rain late afternoon and did not look good for the 3hr evening match. A good northerly swell 6-9 ft, was running but the colour had dropped out for the all ebb match. High pressure of 1025 mbar and a pleasant 6°C.
The cloud cover was soon blown over by the strong north north westerly, making for a dry night, the ‘Snow Moon’ for February was high, very bright and unwelcome due to the clear water state. Heavy weed was reported at Runswick Bay, a big problem as anglers tried to find a clear mark to fish without losing too much tackle.
Ten member returned to the scales, disheartened at the poor nights fishing, only 16 codlings were weighed-in for 38 lb. Ben Laws, for the 2nd match in a row, was Man of the Match with 2 codlings for 9 lb 01 oz, in his bag the Heaviest Fish of the night 5 lb 14 oz. Ben revealed that he had to ‘walk’ his fish right around the pier to Tate Hill beach in order to pick up it up, as he was reluctant to attempt lifting it.
Ben’s 3rd win of the season sees him climb the Leader Board, passing Paul Short into 5th place. Next in his sights is Andrew Cass 22 lb 09 oz ahead with 15 matches left until close of season.
Sunday 8th February, there will be no WSAA night match as members compete for ‘The Bell Trophy’, the Annual Inter Club Tournament organised by Scarborough Rock Anglers. Members are reminded the meeting point is Oasis Café, Marine Drive, Scarborough, at 9am prompt. WSAA last won ‘The Bell’ in 2010.
Results:- 16 codlings for 38 lb 00 oz

Scarborough North Bay 8.45 am
Ben Laws
Low water 12.24 hrs 1.5 metres (Whitby)
Members met on Marine Drive, Scarborough at the Oasis Café at 9am for registration. It was a warm bright sunny morning with a good northerly swell running 6-8 ft with plenty of colour. Gentle north westerly wind 9°C, 1041 mbar.
107 anglers from eight clubs and associations took part, by invitation, forming 11 teams of eight or more anglers. £3/angler entry fee with added team/club sweeps made for a competitive 4 hr fishing tournament. George Dunn, secretary of Scarborough Rock Anglers reminded everyone of the boundaries, Argyle Gulley to Coble Landing, Filey then everyone was free to travel to their chosen mark. Fishing times were 10.30 - 14.30 hrs.
34 anglers returned to the scales at Scarborough Rock Anglers Social Club with 58 fish for 92 lb 03 oz 10 drm.
The wining team was Filey C with 8 fish for 18 lb 06 oz 02 drm giving an average of 2 lb 10 oz 07 drm. Filey C’s team prize was £214. Heaviest Bag fell to Billy Colling 6 lb 12 oz 14 drm and he also won the Heaviest Fish 4 lb 13 oz 02 drm. The junior prize fell to Tom Donogue, 2 fish for 2 lb 06 oz 12 drm.
Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. entered two teams of seven, Whitby A came 4th, 2 fish for 8 lb 06 oz 14 drm, Av. 1 lb 02 oz 02 drm. Whitby B came 5th, 2 fish 6 lb 15 oz 02 drm, Av. 0 lb 14 oz 00 drm. The Whitby Bass Club came 6th, 4 fish for 6 lb 15 oz 02 drm, Av. 0 lb 13 oz 06 drm.
In the WSAA results Ben Laws won his 3rd match in a row with 3 codlings for 5 lb. Ben is fishing exceptionally well at the moment and should have had a bigger bag of fish if it weren't for some bad luck with fish being snagged and one was lost in the surf when it was dumped on the beach in the swell and came unhooked.
Colin Stainthorpe had the Heaviest Fish 4 lb 05 oz and shared the winnings of £85 with Ben laws, £42.50 each.
Weed was a big problem for all, both heavy kelp stalks and fine purple weed grass hung off lines like washing on a washing line. Surging and the bright cloudless sunny day were other factors that lead to a poor overall weigh-in.

Sandsend beach at low water 14.12 hrs
Ben Laws
High water 20.28 hrs 4.8 metres
The high pressure system slowly moved away from the west coast since Sunday, replacing the north westerly wind with a gentle south westerly breeze. The northerly swell had faded to a mere ‘wave slap’ on the beach, with little to no colour. Definitely a 3 hr scratching match, fished up and over high water in the 3rd quarter of the lunar cycle. The air was heavy with moisture, 4°C, 1028 mbar, low mist/fog was forming providing cover from the moons light.
The beaches were popular and members were kept busy with undersized codlings, whitings, and billets. Working two, two hooked traces it was literally cast out, re-bait 2nd trace and retrieve, as fish were at you constantly. Fresh lug worm, razor, and mackerel strips were the baits of choice.
A couple of members reported having their rods pulled out of their rod rests, suspected bass bites, but none landed. Nine members returned to the scales with 45 assorted fish, 32 whitings, 7 flat fish and 6 codlings for 37 lb 06 oz.
Ben Laws, man of the match for the 4th match in a row with 18 whitings for 14 lb 04 oz, his heaviest whiting weighed-in at 1 lb 10½ oz. Colin Stainthorpe, for the 2nd match in a row weighed-in the Heaviest Fish of the night, a codling of 2 lb 04 oz. Ben has closed the gap to Andrew Cass to 3 lb 05 oz. In Andrew’s defence, he has been doing night school classes at the RNLI, missing a few Wednesday matches, but will, he says, extend the gap on his return.
Denis Thompson reported hooking, and losing, a good fish of about 7 lb, managed to lift it so far up the cliff mark, but it became fast and the fish became un-hooked.
Top tip, have a quick walk around your car before setting off to the weigh-in and don’t leave your fish and fish bag at the road side. Luckily he made it back to the weigh-in before close.
Results:- 45 assorted fish for 37 lb 06

Colin Stainthorpe, for the 2nd match in a row weighed-in the Heaviest Fish of the night, a codling of 2 lb 04 oz. Ben has closed the gap to Andrew Cass to 3 lb 05 oz. In Andrew’s defence, he has been doing night school classes at the RNLI, missing a few Wednesday matches, but will, he says, extend the gap on his return.
Denis Thompson reported hooking, and losing, a good fish of about 7 lb, managed to lift it so far up the cliff mark, but it became fast and the fish became un-hooked.
Top tip, have a quick walk around your car before setting off to the weigh-in and don’t leave your fish and fish bag at the road side. Luckily he made it back to the weigh-in before close.

Paul Short - 5 lb 07 oz
Low water 19.12 hrs 1.9 metres
An afternoon dog walk on Sandsend beach soon revealed conditions for the 4hr evening match were going to be far from ideal. Clear water conditions, northerly swell combined with a south easterly wind, made for some local close to shore south easterly swell 2-3 ft and growing. 1019 mbar, 4°C, the south easterly wind, making it feel a lot colder.
Fishing down to and over low water 19.12 hrs, 1.9 metres, it was a very slow match at a time of year when fish move into deeper water to spawn. Finding some sprats washed up on the beach was not a good sign and knew it was not going to be a very productive night, but being optimistic tried them as a bait anyway.
Of the 17 members fishing only 5 were at the scales with 6 codlings and 1 whiting for 17 lb 01 oz. Many members reported not having a bite all night, which is very soul destroying, those that did were lucky enough to weigh-in, one bite one fish! Rich Cope, fishing a new mark, was man of the match with 3 codlings for 7 lb 08 oz. Paul Short landed the Heaviest Fish of the night a codling of 5 lb 07 oz caught shortly after 9pm as the flood took hold.
Ben Laws’ run of good form came to an end, reporting hooking into a good fish, only for his line to be dragging up another anglers snagged line. The see sawing action of the other angler trying to release his line, cut through Ben’s line - fish lost despite been asked to hold still.
Dave Perrett’s night went from bad to worse when his main head torch’s lead broke, with his back-up in a similar condition he was kindly lent a lamp by Mike Vasey who was ‘out & about’ pleasure fishing.
News - Many thanks to The Fleece, Church Street, who have kindly agreed to sponsor the WSAA annual Open match again, which this year will be on Sunday 15th November, fishing 10am - 4pm.
Results:- 6 codlings, 1 whiting for 17 lb 01 oz

Sandsend 16.00 hrs
Rich Cope - 7 lb 06½ oz
Low water 21.55 hrs 0.7 metres
Strong south westerly wind had all but knocked back the little long distance northerly swell for Wednesday nights 3hr match. Despite the poor calm sea state, 14 members were fishing a very fast ebbing tide to low water 21.55hrs, 0.7 metres. Colour varied from mark to mark, 4°C, 1024 mbar, fast moving cloud cover, no rain forecast on a moonless night, made for a pleasant evening.
Fish bites varied from mark to mark, some members landed fish in the first couple of casts, thereafter nothing casing the tide. Whilst others had waited until near low water, fishing into the thick tangle beds from the exposed scaurs, to be rewarded with their patience. At this time of year the fish have other things on their mind, moving into deeper water to spawn and without any sea state to stir up the sea bed for food, fishing can be slow, members need to be versatile.
Wind was turbulent at the start of the match as it whipped around and under the cliffs behind, whilst other members reported no wind until 8.30pm, but then felt the full force once on to the exposed scaurs.
Eight members returned to the scales with 11 codlings and 1 billet for 24 lb 08 oz. Rich Cope was jubilant, joking he’d taken his ‘lucky charm’ nee Ben Laws with him as he slid a fine cod of 7 lb 06½ oz on the pan, 2 for 8 lb 11 oz, his second win in a row. Rich is now only 2 oz behind 7th place Dave Perrett who hasn’t weighed-in since 4th Feb. Ben Laws has now past Andrew Cass into 4th place. Andrew is still at RNLI night school (next 9 weeks) doing his Yacht Masters Offshore course. Nice to see Jnr Chris McCarthy at the scales during half term with 1 codling for 1 lb 00 oz, for joint 7th.
There are now only eleven matches left until the close of season, the evenings are getting lighter and BST starts last Sunday in March.
Results:- 12 fish for 24 lb 08 oz

Early morning dog walk Sandsend beach 7.30 am
Paul Short - 6 lb 01 oz
High water 18.25 hrs 6.0 metres
The return of the ‘Beast from the East’, was forecasted to bring snow and strong south westerly’s to Whitby, late Sunday afternoon/evening. The morning started bright, cold and windy, come 3pm, the heavens opened with torrential rain and some sleet, but no snow. By 5pm the rain had stopped but remained cloudy, 983 mbar, 7°C.
The sea state was full of colour, long distance northerly swell but intermittent, 4/5 good strong swells followed by a short period of calm. The sea state being knocked back due to the strong and strengthening south westerly. Weed was a problem at some marks but the main problems were the cross winds and vortexes formed below the land mass as the wind past overhead. Easing right off for an hour as it changed direction, but came back with a vengeance at 9pm making casting difficult.
Catch forecast was thought to be poor but 13 of the 16 members fishing returned with an amazing 38 codlings for 90 lb 13 oz, the best weigh-in for February (to date). Three double figure bags, and some good fish in the 4lb - 6 lb range meant spirits at the weigh-in were high.
Man of the match, Rob Allison, 8 codlings for 17 lb 07 oz. Paul Short, for the 2nd Sunday in a row, weighed the Heaviest Fish 6 lb 01 oz. Paul’s night was not totally problem free, his fix spool’s gearing ceased, he had to retrieve his line and wind it back on the spool by hand.
Ben Laws continues to find the fish, 5 for 15 lb 03 oz, as does Colin Stainthorpe, 4 codlings for 12 lb 04 oz, his best fish 5 lb 03 oz. On the Leader Board 13 lb 06 oz separates them for 3rd place, and all very close 2nd to 8th places.
Results:- 38 codlings for 90 lb 13 oz

Sandsend beach 14.00 hrs, just before low water
Colin Stainthorpe
High water 21.00 hrs 5.0 metres
February’s match fishing finished last night (Wednesday), the 3 hr match was definitely a scratching match, fished over high water. Poor sea state, 2-3 ft, decreasing, long distance north north westerly swell being knocked back by a shifting south westerly wind with little to no colour in the water on a mild cloudy evening, 8°C, 1013 mbar.
Some members travelled to Scarborough in search of whitings and flat fish, while others stayed local and fished Sandsend beach. Numerous pleasure anglers were also ‘out & about’ enjoying the milder conditions but catch reports were poor, under sized billets was a common complaint. By 9.15 pm the wind got a lot stronger as it shifted to the south, feeling a lot colder (wind chill), but stayed dry.
9 of the 13 members fishing returned to the scales with an assortment of 22 fish - 9 whitings, 7 codlings, 4 flat fish, and 2 billets for 24 lb 10 oz. Man of the match, with his 4th win to date, Colin Stainthorpe, 2 codlings for 5 lb 02 oz. Colin also landed the Heaviest Fish of the night 3 lb 06 oz.
Both monthly sweeps HF & HBoF for February were won by Ben Laws with an excellent catch on the very first match, Sunday 1st, catching 3 codlings for 18 lb 10 oz, inc. Heaviest Fish 14 lb 07½ oz (also HF of Season to date)
Results:- 9 whitings, 7 codlings, 4 flat fish, and 2 billets

Low water 19.53 hrs 1.9 metres
The south westerly winds from Wednesday had shifted slowly into the west, 993 mbar, 4°C, sea state was crystal clear, all but flat calm, save a slight long distance northerly lump now & again. Low water mid match, another scratching match for those members who had not travelled to the European Open Beach Championship at Tunstall, East Yorkshire. Parking meters are now in force so members had to be selective where they parked.
Late Sunday afternoon and the weather became very inclement, starting with rain, turning wintery with sleet and snow as members made their way out for the 4 hr match. By the start of the match at 6pm this had passed and the cloud cover started to thin. Not helping the already poor conditions, by 7pm a starlight sky, a bright ¾ moon, and temperatures plummeted for one of the coldest nights yet. 2°C with wind chill from the strong westerly as a frost started to lay.
Fishing in March can be slow as fish move into deeper water to spawn, bites were few and far between, those lucky enough to catch an undersized fish were doing well, as some went the whole match without a single bite. Fishing with two different two hooked rigs, targeting whitings and flat fish, alternating between short & long casts (& baits), trying to locate where any fish might be feeding produced 2 undersized billets, and a postage stamp flattie for Peter Horbury on Sandsend beach.
Only 3 members were at the scales with 2 codlings and a rockling for the seasons worst weigh-in 3 lb 13 oz. Man of the Match, Andrew Cass, with his 6th win took Heaviest Fish & Bag with a single codling of 1 lb 13 oz. Dave Perrett thought he had hooked a good fish of 7 lb only to find it was foul hooked.
No change in the Leader Board. Hopefully conditions will improve as the weather is forecast to be ‘changeable’ this week, with meteorologist’s predicting four seasons in a week.
Results:- 2 codlings and a rockling for 3 lb 13 oz

Rich Cope - 4 lb 08½ oz
Low water 21.54 hrs 1.2 metres
Wednesday and the northerly swell had been growing all day, aided by the fresh north westerly wind. 1025 mbar 7°C. Plenty of colour in the water for members fishing down to low water 22.00 hrs 1.2 metres. The fast ebbing tide soon exposed the thick tangle beds, holes and gullies.
At the start of the 3hr match there was plenty of cloud cover shielding the full Worm moon. So named, ‘as the ground starts to thaw the earth worm casts start to show, heralding the return of the robins’.
As the ebb took hold the swell started to die with the occasional come back surge. By 8 pm the cloud cover had blown over and the Worm moon shone brightly which did not help the already shallow marks. The easing wind had a slight chill to it as it slowly swung round into the south west.
Seven members were early to the scales with 12 codlings for 22 lb 12 oz. Rich Cope, his 5th win, was man of the match 5 codlings for 9 lb 14 oz inc. HFish 4 lb 08½ oz. Rich reported loosing fish after fish in the thick kelp beds, so dispensed with the pennel rigs and switching to a single hook to improve his catch rate. At the end of the match Rich was rock hopping across the scaurs when he was given a rude awakening, a resting seal made its presence known. Barking and making an eerie whaling sound scurried up the scaur as he passed close by.
2nd match of March, with 7 to go and Rich has set the bar in both the monthly sweeps, HF & HBoF. He now moved up into 7th on the Leader Board, pushing Dave Perrett into 8th, the only other mover was Bernard Vasey up into 11th, passing Peter Horbury by 4 oz.
Matthew Garbutt reported fresh lug worm was the preferred bait on the west pier, fish bites were finicky and once he had used up his, the bites stopped.
Results:- 12 codlings for 22 lb 12 oz

Colin Stainthorpe - 3 lb 03 oz
High water 17.37 hrs 5.4 metres
Sunday, a lovely bright sunny day with a fresh south westerly wind, flat calm sea state 10°C, 1025 mbar. By late afternoon the wind had freshened, a cold westerly aiding a slight long distance northerly swell, surprisingly with plenty of colour. 6pm the 4 hr match started (in daylight), just after high water 17.37 hrs 5.4 metres. By 7pm the sun had set to reveal clear skies and consequently the temperature dropped to 3°C, for one of the coldest nights making wind chill a problem on wet fingers for baiting up.
Local beaches were popular with members and pleasure anglers alike. Some had travelled to Scarborough for a tidal mark with mixed results. Swells were irregular and at times one thought the sea state was growing only for long periods of calm to follow. Good strong fish bites were few and far between with undersized fish keeping members busy re-baiting, as hooks were stripped bare. Fresh lug worm tipped with razor was bait of choice for whiting. By 8pm the wind had dropped and a near full moon rose bright and orange over the east side of Whitby. Returning to the cars a frost was starting to lay in the damp grass.
Seven of the fifteen members & one junior returned to the scales with a mixed selection of fish, 5 codlings, 4 whitings and 1 flat fish for 13 lb 12 oz. Man of the match was Colin Stainthorpe with a single codling 3 lb 03 oz for HBoF & HF of the night.
Paul Short, 2nd, after a slow start was kept busy with undersized fish and a couple of ‘crack offs’ and unknown snags on what should have been a clean beach. Paul and I were talking about Kirkleatham Casting Club, when, ‘time for a codling’ he suddenly announced, and at that a codling took my fresh lug worm pennel rig, lip hooked on the top circle hook. Thanks Paul, that is twice now.
Paul may of snapped off two rigs, but I lost a pennel rig on impact after casting, when the Fastlink I was using came undone. Never had this happen before so will stop using Fastlinks. (see Wed 11th March below)
Top tip - before departing for the weigh-in check you & ‘your’ partner have picked up all their fishing gear, it saves a time consuming return journey, and you won’t miss the weigh-in.
Results:- 5 codlings, 4 whitings, 1 flat fish for 13 lb 12 oz

Rich Cope - 5 lb 05 oz
19.17 hrs, 5.0 metres
Conditions for Wednesday night’s 3hr match, were very mild at the start, as members headed for the beaches, cliff marks & Whitby west pier for the high water (19.17 hrs, 5.0 metre) all ebb match. High pressure had been dominant making for bigger than expected low water ebbs, aided by the off shore winds. 1028 mbar, 7°C.
Some northerly swell, with colour, was erratic and irregular as the fresh SSWest off shore wind slowly swung round to WNWest. Thankfully by 7pm the late afternoon drizzle was soon replaced by clear skies and a fine low level mist.
For a time there was virtually no wind on Sandsend beach but soon turned very cold, by 10pm 4°C. Bites were few and far between, again, as Sunday, baits were robbed by undersized fish. Surprisingly no flatties nor whitings were to be caught off the sand, not even undersized. Eight members were at the scales with March’s best weigh-in 13 fish for 28 lb 07 oz.
Dave Perrett, with his 4th win of the season, was man of the match, 4 codlings for 9 lb. Landing his 4th fish of the night only 2 minutes before 10pm. David reported he should have had nine fish, with one bite so violent, it pulled his rod over his rod stand, (nothing was there when he picked his rod up). David has regained his lead over Rich Cope, who landed the HF of the night 5 lb 05 oz, only 1 lb 01 oz separates them for 7th place. Rich’s run of bigger fish has seen his aggregate jump to 2 lb 02 oz. Paul Short continues to make head way on Andrew Cass, still absent on RNLI night school, only 3 lb 04 oz between them.
Only five matches left and neither Bernard Vasey nor Peter Horbury could progress any closer to the final trophy position held by Paul Kilpatrick in 10th, only 13 oz & 12 oz separates them respectively.
Results:- 12 codlings, 1 rockling for 28 lb 07 oz

Mothers Day Sandsend beach very popular with walkers
Mr Paul 'Consistent' nee Short
Paul Short 3 for 7 lb 15 oz
Low water 17.22 hrs, 2.1 metres
Sunday nights 4 hr match started in daylight, with an icy moderate easterly wind 6°C 1037 mbar, feeling a lot colder when wind chill factored in. East north east close to shore swell with little colour. Cloud cover was heavy, by 8pm a storm moved up the coast line obscuring the Bell buoy’s beacon light, giving a light dusting of hail on shore.
Swells were ideal for the beach, regular, not too heavy at 2-3ft, with no surging for the all flood match. Wind was right to left and the swell was at angle to the beach, creating both a bow & drag on the line. In order to reduce both, it was necessary to walk up beach to cast in, leaving your line straight when back at your rod rest. Bites were few and far between, a lack of whitings on the beach made for a slow night.
Paul short’s match very nearly came to an end (another) rod end eye was found to be precariously weakened by a snapped support. After a quick reel change due to a ‘birds nest’ over run whilst casting, he managed to nurse his rod to the end of the match. Fishing a two hooked clipped down rig, baited with fresh lug worm he caught 3 codlings for a respectable 7 lb 15 oz, for man of the match and HF 3 lb 04½ oz.
Paul Short is the most consistent angler weighing-in in 39 matches (to date) of the 43 he has fished.
With only four matches left until close of season thoughts turn to the presentation night, Saturday 18th April, Dave Perrett now has menus for members to make their choices & return with payment.
Results:- 8 codlings , 1 rockling for 17 lb 00 oz

Despite the murky conditions, plenty of walkers out on Sandsend beach 10am.
Low water 20.46 hrs, 1.0 metres
The day started very misty and did not lift at all for Wednesday night’s 3 hr match. High pressure 1037 mbar continues to dominate the weather, a cold north north westerly wind 12 mph with gusts 18 mph. Wind chill and the heavy humidity made the 5°C feel a lot colder. It is unusual to fish down to, and over low water 20.46 hrs, 1.0 metres. Sea state was crystal clear, on the majority of marks, due to the slight north easterly swell 2-3 ft. Swells were regular with no surging.
Conditions were definitely against members (nothing unusual for the month of March and yet again another scratching match) and this was reflected in the weigh-in as only 5 members returned to the scales with 7 assorted fish for 11 lb 05 oz. Members reported many small fish bites, undersized billets being common catches. Again a distinct lack of whitings on the beach.
James ‘Jamsy’ Moore surprised everyone when he slid a lesser spotted dogfish on the weigh pan for 1 lb 14 oz. James had been fishing off Cowbar steel and this is a known mark for catching a few LSD’s. Bempton, no longer within the WSAA boundaries used to be a good mark for LSD’s at this time of year, however fishing here is no longer permitted after February. (see code of conduct)
Man of the man was Dave Perrett with his 5th win of the season, 2 codlings for 5 lb 06 oz, caught on his first two casts of the evening, Dave thought he was to fill up, only for it to turn into a slow evening thereafter. Dave reported another bite at the end of the match which nearly pulled the rod out of his hand, but it did not return. For the month of March Dave now leads with 17 lb 03 oz passing Rich Cope 15 lb 11 oz. Dave has also closed the gap to Andrew Cass (6th) down to 10 lb 09 oz with only 3 matches left to fish.

Paul's double
Paul Kilpatrick - 5 lb 12 oz
High water 17.20 hrs 6.1 metres & low water 23.47 hrs 0.4 metres
Sunday morning was bright, sunny and plenty of swell for the surfers to take advantage. Remarkably by 6pm the swell had all but gone, a strong offshore south south westerly wind aided the weakening north north easterly swell, knocking it right back to near calm. 1027 mbar 6°C.
There was little to no colour in the water, the sun did not set until well after 7pm, far from ideal as members fished the penultimate 4hr Sunday match. Members were treated to a colourful sunset on a virtually cloudless night and a small crescent moon set soon after. Members were casing a fast ebbing tide, and becoming more exposed to a chilling bitterly cold wind as they moved away from the land mass.
Bites were few and far between, even a shortage of small fish bites to keep some members on their toes despite a good supply of fresh baits gained from the recent large tides.
Ten members were at the scales with the month’s best weigh-in, 23 assorted fish for 48 lb 07 oz. 3rd up to the scales was man of the match Paul Kilpatrick, sliding his best, a codling of 5 lb 12 oz onto the pan first. His bag of 6 codlings for 16 lb 07 oz and HF 5 lb 12 oz relieve Rich Cope of both HF & HBoF in the monthly sweep with two matches to fish. This is Paul’s first win of the season, and moves him up one place on the Leader Board to 9th.
Paul’s night was not uneventful as he managed to snap his rod whilst casting and was lent a rod by a friend, who was fishing with him, so he could continue fishing.
Results:- 23 fish 20 codlings, 2 flat fish, 1 whiting, for 48 lb 07 oz

This is Paul’s first win of the season, and moves him up one place on the Leader Board to 9th.
Paul’s night was not uneventful as he managed to snap his rod whilst casting and was lent a rod by a friend, who was fishing with him, so he could continue fishing.

Afternoon dog walk may have been sunny but was bitterly cold.
James holds aloft his bass
High water 19.40 hrs 5.3 metres
The penultimate match of the 2014 - 2015 Season was fished up & over high water 19.40 hrs, 5.3 metres. Slight long distance northerly swell 1-2 ft, slowly died after high water and turning into surges, little to no colour on a cloudless night with little luminance from a ¾ moon. Wind onshore north north westerly was in general not felt until the end of the match as members chased a fast ebbing tide and left the shelter of the land mass. Air pressure had been dropping 1005 mbar, 3°C. Members reported it was an extremely cold nights fishing, and the hot soup provided by Paula Pitman after the weigh-in at the Fleece was most welcome - thank you.
Twelve members were spread far and wide for the scratching match and small fish bites nee bait robbers were reported. Catch expectancy was low due to the poor conditions but local beaches were a favourite for some as there had been a few codlings of late, and reports of the odd bass too. Using light line, small baits of fresh lug worm clipped down for distance. James ‘Jamsy’ Moore did just that and caught an undersized bass (photo) early on in the match (after he had caught an undersized flat fish first cast), just after high water as the ebb took hold, and later rewarded with a small codling 1 lb 13 oz. Photo, above, shows James holding his bass hooked by the circle hook. His codling was also hooked by the circle hook.
For the second match in a row Paul Kilpatrick, man of the match, 2 codlings 4 lb 05 oz, his heaviest fish 2 lb 06 oz. This was enough to extend the gap between himself and Denis Thompson to 3 lb 04 oz for 9th place. Last to the scales Denis Thompson weighed the Heaviest Fish of the night, a codling 3 lb 06 oz.
Rich Cope and Dave Perrett continue to jostle for 7th place, and Rich now leads David by a slim margin of 4 oz. For the month of March Paul Kilpatrick leads with 24 lb 08 oz bolstered by Sundays match winning bag of 16 lb 07 oz.
Top tip - don't leave your head torch in your car, it may be daylight but you'll need it later.
BST starts on Sunday with clocks going forward 1hr at 1am on Saturday night.
Results:- 7 fish for 13 lb 00 oz - 6 codlings & 1 rockling

Bitterly cold windy afternoon dog walk
Rob Allison 2 lb 03 oz wrasse
Low water 19.14 hrs 2.01 metres
First day of summer and it felt more akin to deep winter, bitterly cold offshore west north west wind 20 mph with strong gusts. Temperature of 5°C, lower with the wind chill effect, low pressure 994 mbar. Sea state was crystal clear with a slight close to shore north westerly swell. BST and an extra hour of daylight but prior to the sun setting a storm brought hail and heavy rain, passing first over Sandsend heading towards Whitby, making the conditions even more uncomfortable as members fished over low water. Once past, the skies were clear, temperature dropped further and it was certainly felt to have been one of the coldest nights of the season.
13 members were fishing, but fish were very scarce as many members reported not having a bite all night. Billets (4”) were the only fish caught on the sand. Some members had travelled to Marine Drive, Scarborough and were rewarded for their efforts with the only weigh-ins.
Club champion, for the 4th year in a row, Matthew Garbutt returned with 3 codlings for 6 lb 00 oz, inc. HF 2 lb 05 oz. This was Matthew’s 10th match win, an impressive lead of 43 lb over 2nd place Rob Allison who weighed a wrasse of 2 lb 03 oz. Rich Cope was the only other member to weigh-in, a pollock 1 lb 06 oz, and securing 7th place from Dave Perrett by 1 lb 10 oz.
March’s monthly sweeps were won by Paul Kilpatrick HBoF 16 lb 07 oz and HF 5 lb 12 oz both on Sunday 22nd March 2015.
March’s total catch - 72 codlings, 6 whitings, 5 rocklings,
3 flat fish, 1 lesser spotted dogfish, 1 wrasse and 1 pollock were weighed for 167 lb 01 oz.
The Seasons weight of 2,266 lb 09 oz, down 787 lb on last season is the second best weigh-in for 12 years, in the
2002 - 2003 season, 2,242 lb was achieved (with 5 more members). All in all, a good close run season for members.
Saturday 18th April is presentation night and members are reminded of the dress code - shirt & tie please.
Results:- 3 codlings, a wrasse and a pollock for 9 lb 09 oz
