Sunday 24th March 2016 Match 32 of 51
Low water (Whitby) 10.12 hrs 1.2 metres, 1022 mbar, 15°C
Sunday morning and 13 members travelled to Scarborough for a 9am registration in the Inter-Club competition known as The Bell Trophy. Meeting place was the Oasis Café, Marine Drive. Local fishing clubs from Cloughton, Filey, Bridlington, South Cliff, Scalby Mills, Scarborough, & Whitby were invited to take part in the 91st annual competition, organised by Scarborough Rock Anglers Society.
Weather was extremely mild, overcast, southerly wind which at times was strong. Plenty of colour in the water with some weak close to shore easterly swell, leading to periods of calm for the all flood match. Thankfully the rain held off until after the match when the competitors reached the weigh station.
The 103 anglers fished from 10-2pm, weigh-in by 3pm at Scarborough Rock Anglers Social Club. The teams aggregate would be determined by their combined weight divided by No. of anglers, but a minimum of 8 per Team (irrespective of there being less).
Last year Filey C won and they had the honour of picking this years date & tide. Of the 103 anglers taking part only 28 weighed-in 46 assorted fish - 76 lb 07 oz 04 drm.
This years winning team was Cloughton, a single team of 14 members who landed 17 fish - 27 lb 12 oz 08 drm - aggregate of 1 lb 14 oz 12 drm picking up £206 Team winnings. Cloughton last won the Bell in 2003 and this is their 5th win. HBoFish fell to Tom Barker 6 lb 10 oz 04 drm, Cloughton - £51.50 and HFish fell to Alex Halder 4 lb 10 oz 12 drm, Cloughton - £51.50
Whitby Sea Anglers Association fielded 1 team of 13 members and came a very respectable 2nd. Weighing-in 8 fish for 15 lb 13 oz 02 drm - aggregate 1 lb 03 oz 07 drm.
The Whitby Bass Club fielded 5 members and only Neil Inglis weighed-in 1 fish of 07 oz 12 drm - aggregate 10 drm.
Remarkably the hosts, Scarborough Rock Anglers, fielding 8 members drew a blank with no one weighing-in, George Dunn (Secretary Scarborough Rocks) awarded them a hypothetical wooden spoon.

*Andrew Cass had HF in his bag, 4 lb 04 oz as well as having HBoFish, but he can't win both prize sweeps.
Therefore he wins HF (as this takes preference over HBoFish)
**Hence 2nd HBoFish wins HBoFish sweep, which was Rob Allison 4 lb 02 oz
See WSAA Rules at bottom of page re Bell Trophy - I had completely forgotten this, and our treasurer did not fish the match.
Reference
AGM 28th Aug. 2013. Any Other Business A
2013 - 2014 Season is 50/50 Heaviest Bag of Fish / Heaviest Fish. Heaviest Fish to take preference in the event of having Heaviest Bag and Heaviest Fish. 2nd Heaviest Bag takes Heaviest Bag (Day matches, inc Bell Trophy).
Therefore he wins HF (as this takes preference over HBoFish)
**Hence 2nd HBoFish wins HBoFish sweep, which was Rob Allison 4 lb 02 oz
