Sandsend beach afternoon dog walk
Bernard Vasey - 3 lb 07½ oz
High water 18.18 hrs 5.9 metres
First match, Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. 2015 - 2016 Season, and some members had been participating in both Filey & Scarborough fishing festivals over the last 4 weeks with some success. Paul Short won the Bob Yarker trophy on the first day of the SFF with 5 codlings for 12 lb 13 oz 06 drm, and Colin Stainthorpe was 2nd, 3 fish for 12 lb 07 oz inc HFish of 5 lb 07 oz.
Sixteen members met at Whitby bandstand 18.30 hrs for registration. Two new members Mike Saunders & Dave Ward received a warm welcome. After a group photograph members departed to their chosen marks at 18.45 hrs.
Local piers were popular marks for ease, fishing started at 19.00 hrs and members did not want to waste too much time travelling being were keen to get fishing, although conditions were far from favourable.
Fishing the all ebb match, HW 18.18 hrs, 5.9 metres, the fast ebbing tide soon took hold. A virtually flat calm sea state, clear water and a gentle ESE wind did not bode well for big bags of fish. But there was plenty to watch, a bright red, near full moon rose above the horizon and the stars were bright on a cloudless night and the temp dropped very quickly.
Whitby’s RNLI lifeboats were practicing manoeuvres (norm for a Wednesday night) in the harbour entrance between the piers. The setting sun created a silhouette of the west pier against the backdrop of Sandsend against the red sky. All in all a pleasant evening but with members wishing for a good northerly blow to stir things up to kick the season off.
Billet bites were fast and furious on the piers and Paul Short nearly lost his rod, a bite pulled his rod clear out of the stand and shattered an eye. Bait wise there was little difference between fresh & frozen peeler. Using two hook rigs members were kept busy, with many undersized fish returned.
Ten of the sixteen members fishing returned to the scales with an assortment of 19 fish - 5 codlings, 9 billets, 2 bleggs, 2 eels & 1 rockling for 22 lb 01 oz.
Bernard Vasey, feeling unwell in the afternoon, decided to fight off stomach cramps and fished the match to be rewarded with both HF & HBoF - 3 lb 07½ oz, 2 codlings for 5 lb 03 oz.
Dave Perrett, returning from Scarborough, whilst crossing the moors was in collision with an adult deer. Sadly an early entry for “Most memorable Moment” trophy, which he won last season.
After the weigh-in members enjoyed hot soup courtesy of member Paula Pitman of Hook, Line & Sinker, and the hospitality of the Fleece, Church St.
Members enrolled into the Doubles & Singles Knockout competitions, along with the monthly HF & HBoF sweeps. Any members who have not yet joined due to work commitments who wish to compete should get in touch ASAP as the draws will take place next week for the K/O’s.

High water 21.40 hrs 4.9 metres
First match where the 17 members could travel before the start of the 4hr match, starting at 18.00 hrs. Fishing an all flood match to the top of the tide, with an hour of daylight, crystal clear water and a calm sea state. 1018mbar 12°C, gentle ESE wind and overcast.
14 members were at the scales in jubilant mood weighing-in 31 assorted fish for 45 lb - 16 Cod, 1 Bass, 8 Billet, 1 Rockling, 1 Flat Fish, 1 Pollock, & 3 Pouting.
Malcolm Pitman was man of the match, catching a specimen cod of 6 lb 10½ oz on his first cast and as he baited up a second rig his rod was nearly pulled out of the rocks. Malcolm reported snapping-off a good fish on his next cast. Malcolm finished the evening with 3 codlings & a flat fish for 9 lb 13 oz. Malcolm has set the bar for the lead in the HF & HBoF monthly sweeps.
James ‘King Cod’ Gilpin takes the head of the leader Board returning to the scales with 7 fish for 9 lb 05 oz – a Pollack of 2 lb 15½ oz, 4 codlings and 2 bleggs (pouting).
While members may complain about bait robbing undersized billets when a good one is landed it is all forgotten, Ben Laws & Dave Perrett both landed billets of 1 lb 12½ oz & 1 lb 09½ oz respectively. WSAA record is 3 lb 08 oz W Atkinson 25th Sept 1985.
Catch of the evening fell to Secretary Peter Horbury who was more than pleasantly surprised to land a bass 1 lb 09 oz, 43.5 cms. Caught on fresh mussel, on a two hook rig (3/0 Mustad Nordic Bend Heavy). It doesn’t however beat his WSAA record bass of 2 lb 15 oz, 3rd December 2008.

The knockout draws will be held this Wednesday 7th October.

Wednesday 7th October 2015 Match 3 of 51
A welcome break in the weather, as the tail end of hurricane Joaquin reached the British Isles. 1005 mbar, 15°C 3-4 ft of NEasterly swell with an onshore NWesterly wind. Heavy cloud cover bringing light rain showers made for a dark warm evening as the tide turned for first 2½ hrs of flood on a slack tide. The ebb was poor, with members surprised they could not reach certain marks at the start of the match.
Although the seas were not heavy, weed was a reported problem at many a mark as the summers growth was torn from the sea bed. Fine green & purple weed fouled lines, and end tackle weighed down with heavy kelp stalks. Fish bites were slow and finicky, playing with the bait and not taking it straight down. Again no discernible difference between fresh & frozen peeler crab, although surprisingly fresh mussel out fished fresh peeler.
First to the scales was Bernard Vasey, 4 codlings for 11 lb 10 oz, next Matthew Garbutt 9 codlings for 30 lb 09 oz. From then on weigh masters Bernard & James were kept busy as 16 members weighed-in 75 assorted fish - 64 codlings, 6 billets, 5 rocklings and an eel. Nine of the sixteen bags were double figure, for a grand total of 156 lb 05 oz. An excellent start to the season.
Junior member Chris McCarthy, was heartedly praised by members as he slid 2 codlings for 5 lb 11 oz, on the pan, his HF 4 lb 07 oz.
Matthew Garbutt has set an early high bar for both the HBoF monthly sweep, and HBoF for the season. Having made a slow start to the season this 30 lb bag sees him once again top the leader board by 13 lb 11 oz over Ben Laws.
The Knockouts draws were drawn in the Fleece after the weigh-in, with the first round of the singles to be fished Wed 21st Oct. Doubles to start the following Wed 28th Oct. and thereafter at 3 weekly intervals.

Mike Stonehouse, Dave Perrett, and the David 'Sten' Stonehouse Memorial cup
|
Low water 22.21 hrs 1.6 metres
Weather is starting to turn autumnal, an easterly wind originating from western Russia is due to bring cooler temperatures than of late this coming week.
The 4hr all ebb match started in daylight, 2 hrs back from high water, slight easterly swell 1-2ft with plenty of colour in the water. Gentle ESEasterly wind and heavy cloud cover, 11°C 1025mbar.
Weed was a constant problem for all members throughout the whole match. Denis Thompson reported a washing line of weed, but elected to leave it, and was rewarded with the evenings HFish of 5 lb 13 oz, just 1 of a bag of 4 fish for 9 lb 00 oz.
Rob Allison - 7 codlings for 20 lb 11 oz for Hbag of the night, inc one of 4 lb 13½ oz. James ‘King Cod’ 2nd with 13 lb 01 oz also had a fish of 4 lb 13½ oz. Matthew Garbutt 3rd had a fish of 4 lb 13 oz. Nice to see a better stamp of fish at the weigh-in.
Twelve of the fourteen members fishing were at the scales with 47 assorted fish for 91 lb 06 oz - 36 codlings, 8 rocklings and 3 billets.
Earlier in the week Dave Perrett and I (Peter Horbury) visited Mike Stonehouse to show him the David ‘Sten’ Stonehouse Memorial Cup. Mike has very generously sponsored the cup in memory of his late father. David ‘Sten’ Stonehouse, born in Baxtergate, started as an apprentice mechanic at Walkers Garage (now the Sorting Office), before owning ‘Thorough Bred Cars’ with John Prudom, his fishing partner in the 60’s. The trophy will be awarded to the recipient of the Heaviest Fish caught out of Competition. Many thanks from all at WSAA.
WSAA Annual Open match meeting tomorrow night Tuesday 13th Oct 7.30pm, Whitby Rifle Club, upstairs bar room.
Results:- 36 codlings, 8 rocklings and 3 billets - 91 lb 06 oz

Sandsend late afternoon dog walk.
Andrew Cass - 5 lb 04½ oz
High water 17.44 hrs 5.5 metres
Wednesday nights 3 hr match saw the best attendance of the season, 20 seniors and 1 junior member were out and about for the all ebb tide. Conditions were far from ideal, clear water from a north easterly swell 2-3ft. High pressure 1026mbar, a north easterly breeze 10mph 10°C. Early cloud soon past to reveal a clear star filled sky with the Milky Way clearly visible, and a forecasted 6Kp Aurora Borealis sadly didn’t develop.
Weed, again like Sunday’s match was a problem, and rotting weed attracts flies, which in turn attract bats who gave an amazing aerial display as they feasted. Instead of the weed being dumped on the beach at high water, the tide kept it in the surf for the ebb and anglers could not relax for a minute. Rods were kept high and any reel ‘run-ons’ were punished with a lost line to the thick soup of weed. Swells lost their strength as the ebb took a hold. Fish bites, possibly due to the water clarity, were very finicky with many a rattle which didn’t return or develop into a proper bite.
Sixteen members were at the scales with 41 assorted fish - 28 codlings, 9 rocklings, 1 billet & 1 lesser spotted dogfish.
5th match of the season and another different winner, Andrew Cass with his first weigh-in of the season was the only member to have a double figure bag, which included the HFish of the night at 5 lb 04½ oz.
New member Mike Saunders landed a 2 lb 08 oz lesser spotted dogfish. Once an uncommon catch from local waters, over the last 2 years there has been an increase. During a season one or two are being caught from local piers.
Singles Knockouts start next Wednesday 21st Oct.
Results:- 41 assorted fish for 76 lb 04 oz

Sandsend just after high water 830am
High water 19.58 hrs 5.1 metres
Sunday morning and some WSAA members had travelled north and fished the Newbiggin Open match. Congratulations to Rob Allison, 2nd overall, pipped by 1 ounce by Geoff King 9 lb 08 oz, Rob had 3 fish for 9 lb 07 oz inc. one 6 lb 02 oz. Congratulations to Rob & Denis Thompson won the Pairs - well done.
Sunday nights 4hr match is the last to start in daylight, thankfully BST ends Sunday 25th October. Conditions were far from ideal, reflected in the fish species count at the weigh-in. Some members had used this tide to venture out to new marks with positive results. Crystal clear water, 2-4ft decreasing NEasterly swell, with a moderate onshore NNeasterly wind. 1026mbar, a comfortable 10°C. Little cloud cover gave way to clear skies and thankfully no moonlight, but once the tide turned the swell dropped right off.
Fishing 2 hrs either side of high water the weigh-in was never going to be spectacular. Piers, cliffs, and deep water marks were fished for what was effectively a scratching match. Two hook rigs, fresh mussel and crab cocktail baits were popular for billets. Being a ‘Clubman’, members must be able to adapt to the conditions and fish for whatever species is there in order to be competitive for the all-important weigh-in. A subject that is hotly debated ie ‘if and when’ the whitings arrive. Only three members have fished and successfully weighed-in in all 6 matches to date, Peter Horbury, Paul Short and Colin Stainthorpe.
Man of the match was Matthew Garbutt - 4 fish - 1 codling, 2 billets & a rockling - 5 lb 05 oz inc. Hfish of the night, a billet 1 lb 14 oz. Sixteen of the twenty members fishing were at the scales with 20 rocklings, 10 billets, 8 codlings, 2 flat fish and an eel.
Reminder that on Wednesday night the Singles Knockouts take place, any member unable to fish must contact his opponent and arrange, between themselves, an alternative night to fish.
Results:- 47 assorted fish - 20 rocklings, 10 billets, 8 codlings, 2 flat fish and an eel - 35 lb 12oz

1st win for Perrett
Dave Perrett - 3 lb 02 oz - Pollock
Is it really October? 15°C, 1010mbar, gentle westerly breeze, flat calm mirror sea state and crystal clear water. The barmy weather continues even though the Met Office have announced this week they will be naming storms in the future, the first being Abigail. Last nights bright half-moon was, thankfully, due south (max height of 20° above the horizon) at 8pm. As the match progressed the temperature began to drop as the skies were cloudless and the wind freshened.
3hrs, all flood tide, seventeen members were fishing for a place in the next round of the Singles Knockouts, despite the poorest conditions of the season to date. Not only did members scale down their hook sizes but cast times were also cut to 10 mins, due to being crabbed off, in the hope of a fresh bait attracting a fish, some reported a whole night without a bite.
Some members travelled far & wide, effectively a scratching match, and just one fish could be enough to beat their opponent. Took a trip to Humersea, by invitation to join Jamsy, Dave Ward & James Race. Never been there so was worth a look, will return with the camera as there are some old ironstone mine workings.
Of the 17 members fishing only 6 were at the scales with fish. In total 12 fish - 5 codlings, 5 billets, 1 pollock, 1 rockling for 15 lb 15 oz. Billets, renowned for shrinking, may have been size (35cm) at time of capture were rejected by the weigh masters. Peter Horbury is now the only member to have weighed-in in all 7 matches.
Man of the match was Dave Perrett, keeping it local, had 7 fish for 10 lb 09 oz inc Hfish of the night, a pollock of 3 lb 02 oz.
Knockout results:-
Dave Perrett 10 lb 09 oz (7) beat Paul Short 0 lb 00 oz
Ben Laws 1 lb 02 oz (1) beat Colin Stainthorpe 0 lb 00 oz
Andrew Cass 1 lb 05 oz (1) beat Mike Saunders 0 lb 00 oz
James Gilpin 1 lb 02 oz (1) beat Peter Horbury 0 lb 08 oz (1)
The remaining ‘fishless’ matches will be fished on Sunday but must have a result before the next round Wed 11th Nov – if no result by then then a toss of a coin will determine a winner.

Sandsend beach Sunday morning stroll
Commiserations & Congratulations respectfully
to two members, who on the same night broke the WSAA Pollock Record
Paul Short - 6 lb 04½ oz - Pollock
|
Denis Thompson - 9 lb 00 oz - Pollock New WSAA Record
|
Low water 20.17 hrs 1.4 metres
WSAA Record Pollock broken twice in one match!
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) returned in the early hours, Sunday nights 4hr match started in darkness with crystal clear water and flat calm sea state, very similar to last Wednesdays match. Again a bright near full moon did not help the already poor conditions. 1022mbar, 9°C, SSWesterly wind 14 mph with some very strong gusts at times, there was a definite wind chill.
Fishing down 2hrs to low water 1.4 metres, and back 2hrs the ebb was much bigger than forecast. Members were well out on the outer fingers of the scaurs fishing into deep thick kelp beds. Fish bites were scarce, not even billet bites, which would have been welcome. Of the 20 members fishing, 12 were at the scales with 23 fish - 15 codlings, 4 poutings, 3 pollocks & 1 flat fish for 51 lb 11 oz.
Poutings reflected the water clarity as did a 6 lb 04½ oz pollock from Paul Short. Caught on fresh peeler crab on his first cast of the night. Paul reported his rod pulled away from him before he even had time to retrieve the slack line from casting. Paul jokingly said he could have gone home then, as he didn’t have another bite all night. Paul was well pleased with his catch, an excellent achievement in such conditions. Bernard Vasey, weigh-master, enquired as to the WSAA record weight for a pollock. A photograph was taken and we returned to the scales just as Denis Thompson took his turn.
Denis slid a 9 lb 00 oz pollock on the scales, with much praise from the watching members, followed by another and a codling for a 14 lb 00 oz bag. Not only is this Denis’ first win of the season but on checking the records it is a new Club Record pollock, previously held by James Gilpin 4 lb 00 oz on 30th October 2011. Well done Denis, this fish also leads in the HFish of the month sweeps from Malcolm Pitman 6 lb 10½ oz.
Denis had placed his rod in the rocks and return to his bag, to bait up another rig when his rod was heard crashing onto the scaur and being dragged seawards over the rocks. The fish gave Denis a good fight, and at one point requested the help of James Moore to aide landing the fish, but as it happened he managed on his own. On closer inspection of his rod, two eyes had been shattered by the ferocity of the pollocks bite dragging the rod down the scaur over the rocks.
Dave Perrett pointed out this is the 3rd match in a row where the Hfish of the night has not been a cod.
The Doubles Knockouts are on Wednesday night.
Results:- 15 codlings, 4 poutings, 3 pollocks & 1 flat fish

Andrew Cass - 7 lb 05½ oz
Low water 22.35 hrs, 0.8 metres
Last match of October and the mild weather continues, 13°C, with the pressure dropping 1006mbar. A gentle ESEasterly wind moving SSWest during the day. What little cloud cover there was disappeared at the start of the all ebb tide match to reveal the bright full Hunters moon. Regular northerly swell sets 2-3ft were strong enough to overcome the large ebbing tide 0.8 metres 22.35hrs. Some members reported surging and strong tidal pull as scaurs and tangle beds were revealed.
Thirteen members were at the scales with a better stamp of fish, (all local & no fresh run) of the 48 fish weighed-in only 3 were not codlings, for the 2nd best weigh-in of the month 121 lb 01 oz.
Matthew Garbutt was man of the match with his 3rd win of the season with 8 codlings for 21 lb 14 oz. Andrew Cass had a good bag of 3 fish for 15 lb 03 oz including his 2nd Heaviest Fish of the month - 7 lb 05½ oz.
Sunday 1st November is Filey Open, followed 2 weeks later by our 36th Annual Open match with £500 1st place prize sponsored by Wilf Nobles Construction & Plant Hire of Ruswarp.

1st November 2015, 14°C and you could of mistaken Sandsend beach for the Mediterranean despite the mist or was it heat haze? Flat calm crystal clear sea state, 1028mbar, slight SSWesterly wind for members fishing the Filey Open 11am-4pm. Congratulations to Cloughton Rock Angler Pete Dunn (photo above), winner with a fine codling of 8 lb in a bag just shy of 17 lb.
Sunday nights 4 hr match fishing ‘up & over’ HWater 5.3 metres, 19.17 hrs, the mild conditions continued. Goth weekend & parking in Whitby (for those wishing to fish the piers) was problematical. For what was in effect a scratching match deep tidal waters were the preferred mark and Scarborough’s Marine Drive was a popular destination for those who had fished the Filey Open.
A cloudless night with the full Milky Way clearly visible, and the temperature dropped into single figures. Just after 9pm a very orange moon rose over the horizon.
Only 9 members were at the scales with a wide selection of fish, 23 codlings, 4 billets, 3 whitings, 2 rocklings, and 1 eel* for 36 lb 08 oz. Man of the Match, with the only ‘double figure’ bag of the night, Malcolm Pitman, 4 codlings & 3 whitings for 15 lb 11 oz, inc Hfish 6 lb 03 oz. This is Malcolm’s 2nd win, again with a 6 lb’er to take the lead in both Hfish & HBFish monthly sweeps.
In the last 2 matches whitings have been weighed-in which could see members hitting the beaches should these poor conditions continue.
*James Gilpin weighed an eel of 1 lb 11 oz (returned alive) which is now the WSAA Record.
In the Doubles K/O’s Dave Perrett & Mick Beedle (2 lb 10 oz) beat Andrew Cass & Peter Horbury (0 lb 00 oz)

Sandsend beach just after 10am
High water 22.26 hrs 4.6 metres
The mild weather continues (déjà vu or ground-hog day?) a good northerly blow is wished for. The rain started 6pm and after an hour or two abated to an annoying drizzle. 15°C, SSWesterly gentle breeze, 1018mbar, flat calm crystal clear sea state for the 15 members & 1 Jnr fishing the all flood match on a very slack tide. Members headed to deep water tidal marks, and piers with a wide range of good baits and tactics, anything for an edge.
Definitely a scratching match, 4 members were fishing their Doubles K/O and spirits, as was the banter, high. Small hooks, two hook traces, undersized whitings and postage stamp dabs kept members busy. An eye, at all times, on ones bait bag as bait robbers nee rats were squeaking below in amongst the aqua pods. Baiting up was frantic, some using 3 traces to keep pace, reel in, cast out, return undersized fish and rebait.
Anything to gain an advantage (within the rules) Ben Laws adopted float fishing for pollock and was rewarded with 2 for 3 lb 13 oz - Hfish of the night 3 lb 00 oz, his first HF win this season. Ben reported another good strike, his braid looped around a rock, the fish unhooked itself before he freed his line.
10 of the 16 members fishing were at the scales, Bernard Vasey checking fish sizes, none were rejected. 6 billets, 5 rocklings, 3 pollock, 3 codlings, 2 dabs, 2 whitings - 18 lb 10 oz beating the worst weigh-in of 21st Oct by 2 lb 11 oz. Members noted the number of pollock seen at the weigh-ins is increasing over past years.
Colin Stainthorpe, Man of the Match, (his first win of the season) and his partner Malcolm Pitman beat Ben Laws & James Gilpin in the Doubles K/O’s. One match remains to be fished Paul Kilpatrick, James Moore -V- Rich Cope, Mike Saunders before the next round on Wed 18th Nov.
Next Wed night (11th) is the quarter finals of the Singles K/O’s. Could members please note and confirm with their opponent they will be fishing, if not, arrange an alternate evening.
Top tip - be aware of your surroundings at all times!! A bright head torch can (annoy other anglers) create tunnel vision, ruin night vision, and creates ‘deep’ (about 6ft) shadows, leading to stepping off the pier into the void, thankfully only a bruised pride.
Results:- 6 billets, 5 rocklings, 3 pollock, 3 codlings, 2 dabs, 2 whitings - 18 lb 10 oz
The mild weather continues (déjà vu or ground-hog day?) a good northerly blow is wished for. The rain started 6pm and after an hour or two abated to an annoying drizzle. 15°C, SSWesterly gentle breeze, 1018mbar, flat calm crystal clear sea state for the 15 members & 1 Jnr fishing the all flood match on a very slack tide. Members headed to deep water tidal marks, and piers with a wide range of good baits and tactics, anything for an edge.
Definitely a scratching match, 4 members were fishing their Doubles K/O and spirits, as was the banter, high. Small hooks, two hook traces, undersized whitings and postage stamp dabs kept members busy. An eye, at all times, on ones bait bag as bait robbers nee rats were squeaking below in amongst the aqua pods. Baiting up was frantic, some using 3 traces to keep pace, reel in, cast out, return undersized fish and rebait.

Sandsend Beach 13.35 hrs - High water 14.05 hrs 5.0 metres
Low water 20.16 hrs 2.0 metres
A break in the weather on Sunday as the UK’s first named storm Abigail hits. Unfortunately the southerly winds swinging further westerly did not help the flat calm sea state of late. There was some close to shore lift 1ft, at some marks, colour varied greatly despite the heavy rainfall. Very strong winds and torrential rain combined made for an uncomfortable start to the 4hr match. Come 9pm and the rain had stopped as the wind eased to reveal clear skies as the cloud cover past. 1010mbar, 12°C
Fishing 2 down & 2 up, the tide ebbed further than predicted due to the strong off shore winds and relative high pressure. Consequently the flood was slow to take hold. There was no surging but long periods of calm making for timid bites. Some weed was reported but leaves washed out to sea by the rainfall were a bigger problem for fouling the line.
Despite the damp conditions 18 members, 1 junior and numerous pleasure anglers were out & about. Of those members 15 were at the scales with 35 assorted fish for 46 lb. Surprisingly the best weigh-in for November to date.
Man of the Match was Bernard Vasey 4 codlings for 8 lb 02 oz, also with the Hfish 4 lb 03½ oz of the night. The next best fish came from Colin Stainthorpe 3 lb 06½ oz.
In the last Doubles K/Out first round Rich Cope & Mike Saunders 2 lb 08 oz (3) beat Paul Kilpatrick & James Moore 1 lb 15 oz (4)
Wednesday 11th Nov is the quarter finals of the Singles K/O’s
Members are reminded to take their Open raffle prizes to Malcolm & Paula Pitman’s shop, Hook, Line & Sinker, Church St.
Results:- 18 codlings, 14 rocklings, 1 billet, 1 pouting, 1 whiting for 46 lb 00 oz

Wednesday nights conditions were not looking good, flat calm, strong SWesterly winds, forecasted to swing more westerly by 9pm. Winds of 16mph with gusts of 28mph forecasted. Heavy rain fell whilst members drove to their chosen marks, 15°C and it’s November, 10°C higher than it should be! 1013mbar.
Fishing an all ebb tide to low water 10pm 1.4 metres, with 1ft NNEasterly swell predicted, in reality, did not materialise due to the strong ebbing tide knocking it right back. Water state was clear but thankfully the weather conditions improved. By 7pm, start of the 3hr match, the rain stopped, cloud cover disappeared revealing a star studded night sky with no moon light.
Of the 15 members fishing only 8 were at the scales with a poor weigh-in (but expected) of only 13 fish, 8 codlings, 4 rocklings and a pollock for 22 lb 07 oz Many hoping they had enough to beat their opponent in the Singles K/Outs.
Man of the Match was Rob Allison, with his 2nd win of the season, 2 codlings for 6 lb 13 oz, his Hfish 3 lb 06 oz. Andrew Cass weighed the Hfish of the night 4 lb 13 oz, reported snapping off a better fish mid match.
This match last year weigh-in was 62 fish for 144 lb 10 oz
In the K/Outs
Andrew Cass 4 lb 13 oz (1) beat Dave Perrett 0 lb 03 oz (1)

WSAA 36th Annual Open Competition
Low water 11.53 hrs 1.5 metres
Ninety six seniors and three juniors competed in this our 36th Annual Open one day fishing competition held by Whitby Sea Anglers Association.
The first place prize of £500 was again kindly & generously sponsored by Wilf Nobles Plant Hire & Construction, Ruswarp Nr Whitby.
James Noble could not attend the presentation so WSAA President & Chairman William Atkinson stood in to give out the prizes from a well-supported table. Many thanks to all our sponsors.
Condition were wild to say the least, Abigail (1st British named storm) had just past Scotland and ex hurricane Kate was fast approaching the Irish coast line. 1004 mbar, 15°C (very mild for this time of year) swell was NNWesterly 2ft, water was coloured close to shore due to the recent heavy rainfall. The wind was the same for all WSWesterly 25mph with gusts of 48mph forecasted.
The match started at 10am and the mornings rain showers had past to reveal bright cloudy skies with some rainfall south of Whitby. Fishing 2hrs to low water at noon and 4hrs of flood. The wind aided a good ebb 1.5 metres but as soon as the tide turned it quickly flooded.
At the scales, for the weigh-in James Gilpin, Bernard Vasey were kept very busy overseen by William Atkinson. Of the 99 competitors forty one weighed-in 95 fish for 221 lb 02 oz, 79 codlings, 5 wrasse, 5 billets, 3 bleggs, 2 pollock, and no flat fish weighed.

James 'Jamsy' Moore - 4 lb 08 oz
High water 20.17 hrs 5.0 metres, 11°C, 997mbar
Rob’s trio of 1st’s since 1998
Last hour of flood and 2 back, swell was NNWesterly 2-3 ft with long periods of calm on the ebb followed by swells doubling it up as they made it over the sand bar & too heavy for the beach as the sea grew. Wind SSWesterly 24-30 mph with strong gusts forecasted. By 20.45 the skies darkened and the last thing an angler needs to see is lightning flashes behind Sandsend as a storm grew strengthening winds, it past Whitby heading south to Scarborough with a continued light display. Malcolm Pitman fishing in Scarborough, reported the wind was so strong he had to hold onto all his kit. The rain they got there was of monsoon proportions, he said it filled his coat pockets and waders.
Consequently having started the match conditions quickly changed and were such that you knew you needed to be elsewhere but having caught fish you stayed and regretted it. Three casts & 3 fish for Dave Perrett, rubbing his hands, quickly calculated a potential evenings bag. But was reluctant to move despite the conditions changing and then regretted openly, ‘Should have moved’.
Ditto James Moore, landed the Hfish of the night 4 lb 08 oz, in the first ½hr, a lovely fat fresh run cod (on a size 1 hook taking it steady walked back & forth letting the surf land the fish) and we thought we were on the fish. Bites, rattles, one small whiting, but the wind, sea state increased and disappointment. With Sandsend road closed overnight moving would have lost us too much time by taking a long detour mid match. Those that did move could not escape the wind, nor the weed and more disappointment.
At the scales the wind was giving Bernard Vasey a hard time waiting for a lull to take a reading. 11 of 19 members fishing weighed-in 20 codlings, 5 rocklings and a whiting for 47 lb 13 oz.
Rob Allison HBoFish 6 codlings for 14 lb 13 oz, fresh from his Open win, was over the moon with his 3rd win in a row something he has never achieved since joining the club in 1998. Rob now tops the leader board by 6 lb 10 oz from Matthew Garbutt.

Andrew Cass - 5 lb 10 oz (2x)
Low water 18.55 hrs 1.8 metres. 1021 mbar, 7°C
Friday night, Whitby took a battering from the elements, two Victorian shelters (photographs above) were destroyed up on the West Cliff in the gale force winds, early hours of Saturday morning. Thankfully the tides were not big, HW 12.44 hrs 5.1m on Saturday saw some spectacular scenes showing the force of nature, plankton foam being popular with walkers down Whitby’s west pier. For Sunday nights 4 hr match, the sea state had eased, NNEasterly swells 5-6 ft with a following wind 12 mph.
Plenty of colour in the water, low water 18.55 hrs 1.8m, many a pleasure angler were ‘out & about’ enjoying the favourable fishing conditions. Heavy rain around 5 pm soon past with an unwanted bright spell from a ¾ moon. Thankfully it soon clouded over as a storm blew in, bringing a heavy, and painful shower of hale around 7pm. Once the storm past inland the wind eased making for a pleasant evening. The temperature had dropped to 2°C by the end of the match 10pm.
Swells were rhythmical with no surging before or after LWater. The ebb was good and members could reach the tangle beds on open scaurs. Many reported fish when the match started, but then nothing until the flood started. Weed wasn’t reported as a problem on many marks (except Runswick Bay beach) despite the heavy seas since Friday.
A good turnout of 18 seniors & 1 Jnr, 13 returning to the scales with the best weigh-in for November to date 50 assorted fish for 112 lb 14 oz. Five double figure bags. Man of the match, with his first win, Andrew Cass 6 codlings for 24 lb 08 oz, now leading the HBoF sweep. Andrew had 2 codlings of 5 lb 10 oz in his bag, taking Hfish of the night, reporting he could have had more fish but his marks’ sea state was a little heavier than he liked it and missed a few bites.
With 2 matches left November’s mild weather has hit catches 196 fish for 348 lb 13 oz (av. of 1 lb 12 oz) whereas in October 325 fish were landed for 589 lb 06 oz (av. 1 lb 13 oz) although averages are comparable.
Results:-
42 codlings, 34 rocklings, 3 whitings, 1 eel for 112 lb 14 oz

On the evening of Tuesday 24th November it was the ‘Yorkshire Four’s’ match for defending Champions Whitby B, captained by Ben Laws whom were fishing against local angling club Cloughton Rock Anglers (CRA). Whitby B beat Cloughton 4 - 0.
Martyn Wilding (CRA captain) reported ‘they were well battered’.
Matthew Garbutt beat Dave Bielby,1 codling to nil

Ben Laws beat Martyn Wilding,
1 codling, 1x 3 lb pollock, & a 1½lb blegg to 1 codling.
Wednesday nights evening match for WSAA members was an all ebb match down to low water on a big tide. Sea state was a welcome NNWesterly swell 5-7ft with plenty of colour. Wind was strong onshore NWesterly 24mph but by 8pm had dropped to a slight breeze. November’s full moon known either as a Frosty or Beaver moon was high in the sky and was unwelcome as the cloud covered moved inland. Swells were regular with no surging. Fine green & purple weed was a problem fouling lines resembling pipe cleaners when retrieved. Members were chasing a fast ebb onto open scaurs and deep tangle beds.
Both weigh masters, James Gilpin & Bernard Vasey were kept busy at the scales as 17 members weighed 46 assorted fish, 34 codlings, 6 whitings, 4 rocklings, 1 billet 1 flat fish for 95 lb 08 oz. Man of the match was Bernard Vasey with 3 codlings, 1 rockling for 11 lb 14 oz. WSAA’s only junior, Chris McCarthy received a resounding well done from all as he weighed-in the Hfish of the night 4 lb 12 oz, Chris was 9th overall with his 1 codling.
The evenings weigh-in pushed the seasons tally past 1,000 lb mark, 586 fish for 1,055 lb 08 oz - 384 codlings, 1 bass, 56 billets, 91 rocklings, 7 flat fish, 17 whiting, 2 wrasse, 9 pollock, 1 LSD, 8 eel, & 10 pouting/bleggs.
Results:- 34 codlings, 6 whitings, 4 rocklings, 1 billet 1 flat fish for 95 lb 08 oz

Sunday morning and storm Clodagh hits the UK, the north east coast, strong WSWesterly winds, gusts of 52 mph predicted to increase and moved further westerly. Swell was northerly 1-2ft with colour for the 3rd Royal Marines Charity Open match, fishing 10am - 2pm. Conditions got windier as the day match progressed.
Gary Watson, the overall winner, reported on social media ‘sitting down through the worst, expecting to see a few cows and an odd car fly by’. Dave Turnbull reported he ‘felt like Dorothy in the wizard of Oz’. Harry Cook reported being blown over twice, with rain like stinging needles. WSAA member(s) - Rob Allison was 2nd overall, Mike Saunders, weighed the heaviest flat fish, Peter Horbury & James Moore 17th & 18th respectfully. 50 Anglers fished, 21 weighed-in & £500 was raised for the Royal Marines Charity open organised by James Race and his father Pete Race MBE.
The sea had grown for the 4hr evening match, HW 18.06 hrs, 5.6 metres but soon fell away as the ebb took hold. Members again endured the arduous conditions, seeking shelter wherever from the land mass but as the tide ebbed were forced into the open. The temperature had dropped significantly 4°C, combined with the rain/hail showers, wind chill was a problem for the first time this season. Couple of heavy showers were soon blown down the coast to reveal clear skies and an unwelcome bright ¾ moon.
Eleven members were at the scales, 30 fish for 69 lb 05 oz,
21 codlings, 5 whitings, 2 rocklings & 2 flat fish. Rob Allison was man of the match 7 codlings for 23 lb 01 oz, inc. Hfish of the night 7 lb 03½ oz. New member Dave Ward 2 codlings 7 lb 04 oz had a nice fish of 5 lb 07 oz. Rob Allison pipped Malcolm Pitman to Hfish of the month sweep but failed to beat Andrew Cass HBoFish 24 lb 08 oz (6) caught on 22nd November.
That concludes November’s fishing, 272 fish - 183 codlings, 14 billets, 40 rockling, 5 flat fish, 21 whitings, 2 wrasse, 4 pollock, 2 eel, & 1 pouting for 512 lb 10 oz, averaging at 1 lb 14 oz, 1 oz heavier than October’s average.
The Singles Knockout semi-finals will be fished on Wednesday night 2nd December.

High water 20.31 hrs 4.9 metres, 11°C, 1018mbar
Wednesday night and the weather was more settled than of late, but still very unseasonal, a gentle WSWesterly breeze, plenty of colour in the water for the 3hr match but alas the swell was virtually non-existent as 15 members fished 1½ hrs either side of high water. A very mild 11°C, dark evening, with plenty of cloud cover for the scratching match as members travelled the length of the boundaries in search of a good bag of fish. For one member it paid off with a remarkable catch and new WSAA record.
Whitings were the target fish, some over 1 lb, for many a match angler with some die-hards potentially counting the cost of not being flexible in their approach as thirteen members, in jubilant mood, were at the scales with 116 assorted fish for 85 lb 03 oz - 100 whitings, 4 codlings, 3 billets, 3 rocklings, 3 flat fish 2 dabs and a new WSAA record thornback ray.
Ben Laws, with his first win of the season was man of the match with 26 whitings, 1 codling and a flat fish for 18 lb 12 oz. Ben is now 4th on the Leader Board, just 3 lb 11 oz behind Colin Stainthorpe, who is only a rockling 6 oz behind Matthew Garbutt.
Heaviest Fish of the night and a New WSAA Record for new member Mike Saunders 5 lb 08 oz Thornback Ray. Mike also had 8 whitings and a dab for 10 lb 12 oz. Mike reported using a 2 hook flapper rig with a squid baits on size 1 hooks. After weighing and photographing, the fish was returned alive.
The British (shore caught) Record for a thornback ray (Raja Clavata) is 28 lb 11 oz 08 drm, caught in 2008 by Michael Johnsone. Mike’s fish was 24.2 % of the BR and the previous WSAA record had been held by Malcolm Pitman since March 2003 at 1 lb 09 oz

Aussie digging holes, Chris finds a whiting and god knows what owned those teeth?
William Atkinson - 4 lb 14 oz
Low water 18.46 hrs 2.4 metres, 1018 mbar, 7°C
Here on the east coast storm Desmond, had brought very strong WSWesterly winds over the past few days and none of the torrential rain which the west coast suffered. Causing flooding and devastation for them so close to Christmas. Two years ago, 5th Dec 2013, Whitby was hit by a tidal storm surge, so our thoughts are with those affected.
For Sunday nights 4 hr match the westerly wind was but a gentle cold breeze. Very little cloud cover on an otherwise moonless night with the stars hidden by a sea fret. Northerly swell 2-3 ft had been growing all day but was not stronger than the tide, so once it turned there were periods of calm. Plenty of colour in the water for members and pleasure anglers on the beaches & piers.
Unable to get down on to the scaurs to fish the tangle beds, that in-between tide, whitings, again the main target fish for many, beaches and piers the favoured marks, catch expectations were low as the ebb was poor. As it happened 12 of the 14 seniors and 1 Jnr returned to the scales with a selection of fish, 52 whitings, 12 codlings, 6 billets, 8 flat fish & 4 rocklings - 82 fish for 67 lb 05 oz. Well down on last Wednesday.
Well done to Chris McCarthy (Jnr) with his first win of the season, man of the match 14 whitings 9 lb 08 oz. Honorary Chairman & club President William Atkinson, early to the scales, weighed the Hfish of the night, a lovely red codling 4 lb 14 oz. William reported being plagued with weed but was more than pleased when he pulled in his fish despite the extra weight of weed.
Next match, Wednesday 9th Dec, the Doubles Knockout Final is due to take place for the first trophy of the 2015 - 2016 season Dave Perret, Mick Beedle -V- Colin Stainthorpe & Malc Pitman.
Results:- 52 whitings, 12 codlings, 6 billets, 8 flat fish & 4 rocklings - 67 lb 05 oz

Bernard Vasey - 5 lb 13 oz
Low water 20.58 hrs 1.7 metres 11°C, 1018mbar
The unseasonal weather continues, the strong mild south westerly winds had been increasing in strength all day. 28 mph gusting to 50 mph for the 3 hr evening match. Sea state was flat to 1ft northerly long distance swell with little to no colour. Cloud cover was minimal, with no rain forecast, thankfully no moonlight to further spoil the already poor fishing conditions. Members fished 2hrs of ebb, on a slack tide, with an hour of flood making for another scratching match.
Tactics in a scratching match, the ability to fish for what is there, and it may not always be codlings. There is always the possibility of picking up a codling on small hooks as James Moore proved 4 lb 08 oz on a size 1 hook, Wed 18th Nov, and Mike Saunders’ skate 2nd Dec 5 lb 08 oz. You either enjoy turning your hand to fishing for whitings and flat fish or you don’t, but at the end of the day it is all important weight that counts in match fishing.
Only 7 of the 14 members fishing were at the scales weighing-in 26 whitings, 2 codlings, 1 flat fish - 25 lb 04 oz. A poor weigh-in, only a 1/3rd of Sunday nights weigh-in, the poorest catch this month. So far 227 fish have been caught for 177 lb 12 oz - an average of 13 oz. The average for November was 1 lb 14 oz.
The Doubles Knockout final was fished for the first of the WSAA trophies - and lost by 1 oz despite the losers catching 1 more fish.
Colin Stainthorpe & Malcolm Pitman beat Dave Perrett & Mick Beedle.
Man of the match, with his first win, was Peter Horbury, 11 whitings for 7 lb 04 oz, with new member Mike Saunders 2nd, also with 11 whitings for 7 lb 02 oz. In the 21 matches so far this season there have been 10 different winners.
Bernard Vasey with his 3rd Hfish win, 5 lb 13 oz reported he could have gone home at the beginning of the match after successfully catching his one & only bite of the night. Bernard Vasey now leads in the Hfish of the Month sweep surpassing Mike Saunders’ skate of 5 lb 08 oz caught on 2nd Dec.
The Singles Knockout final Andrew Cass -V- James Moore, the next trophy up for grabs is due to be fished Wed 23rd Dec.

8.30am Sandsend beach, en-route to collect worms from Jamsy. Dropped Chris & Aussie off for a long walk.
Dave Perrett - 5 lb 07 oz
High water 17.05 hrs, 5.6 metres 5°C, 1019mbar
Sunday morning and an early start for some WSAA members fishing both the Cloughton Open (Heaviest Cod match) & WSAA evening match. Early morning frost 2°C clear skies, 2-3ft northerly swell running, plenty of colour and a gentle NEasterly wind. Fishing 10-4pm, over low water 11.02 hrs, 1.3 metres, it was ideal conditions for the well supported day match. 116 competitors were fishing for a 1st place prize of £500.
Congratulations to WSAA member Andrew Cass, joint 1st with Cloughton Rock Angler, Pete Dunn, both weighed-in identical cod of 8 lb 02 oz 08 drm. Prize money for 1st & 2nd was amalgamated (£700) & split 50/50. Two WSAA members made the prize list 10th (Special placed prize £50) Peter Horbury 6 lb 08 oz 06 drm & Colin Stainthorpe 26th - 4 lb 10 oz. Andrew’s fish takes the lead in the WSAA Hfish out of competition.
For the evening match the swell had dropped, was weaker than the ebbing tide, leading to periods of calm. Plenty of colour still in the water, the only downside was the wind, it had shifted to SEasterly bringing light rain for the entire match.
Eighteen members and 1 junior were fishing, 16 returned to the scales with 56 assorted fish - 31 codlings, 17 whitings, 4 rocklings, 2 billets, 2 flat fish - 106 lb 13 oz. Three double figure bags, with a better stamp of fresh run fish is always welcome at the scales.
Man of the Match, Paul Kilpatrick, with his first win of the season, 6 codlings for 22 lb 04 oz - Paul would of taken the lead in HBoFish sweep, but alas wasn't entered. Paul had the 2nd Hfish in his bag 4 lb 15½ oz. Dave Perrett, 2nd with 4 codlings, landed the Hfish of the night 5 lb 07 oz codling. Dave, having trouble with his reel early on in the match, had to return to his car for a spare. Leaving a line out, returned to a ‘Larry lay-on’.
Sunday 20th December is the WSAA members Christmas match fishing 2-7pm, no one goes home without a prize.

Late morning dog walk on Sandsend beach.
Dave Ward - 3 lb 07½ oz
High water 19.09 hrs 5.4 metres, 11°C, 1015mbar
Mid December and we are still talking double figure temperatures 11°C as the unseasonally warm weather continues dominated by SWesterly winds. For the 3 hr evening match wind was WSWest offshore although nowhere near as strong as predicted. Sea state was calm 1-2 ft NNEasterly swell with colour but with periods of calm due to its poor strength and an ebbing tide. Match started at high water with plenty of cloud cover.
Another scratching match, members hit the sand and piers for whitings and flat fish. Some were lucky to pull in two at a time while others had fish at their feet early on but nothing thereafter. Reports of a good 8 lb skate off Saltburn pier which, when attempted to lift, fell off.
Dave Ward, who had had fish early on threw caution to the wind and sent out a fist sized bait in an attempt to tempt a cod and was rewarded 2 minutes later, Hfish of the match 3 lb 07½ oz.
Ben Laws, Man of the match, with the only double figure bag, 22 whitings for 17 lb. Ben now leads in the Greatest Number of Fish for the season, 87 to date competing for the Peter Sutton Memorial Cup, closely followed by James Moore on 82 fish.
Sunday members will be fishing the festive Christmas match sponsored by Hook, Line & Sinker. Many thanks to Malcolm & Paula Pitman. Fishing times 2 - 7 pm, weigh-in, followed by Christmas meal at the Stakesby Arms. No one goes home without a prize, the prize table is organised by Dave Perrett.
Last match of 2015 will be Wednesday 23rd December, returning Sunday 3rd January 2016 after the Christmas break.
Results:- 105 fish, 97 whitings, 4 flat fish, 3 codlings & 1 rockling for 73 lb 02 oz - average 11 oz

Dave Ward, who had had fish early on threw caution to the wind and sent out a fist sized bait in an attempt to tempt a cod and was rewarded 2 minutes later, Hfish of the match 3 lb 07½ oz.
Ben Laws, Man of the match, with the only double figure bag, 22 whitings for 17 lb. Ben now leads in the Greatest Number of Fish for the season, 87 to date competing for the Peter Sutton Memorial Cup, closely followed by James Moore on 82 fish.
Sunday members will be fishing the festive Christmas match sponsored by Hook, Line & Sinker. Many thanks to Malcolm & Paula Pitman. Fishing times 2 - 7 pm, weigh-in, followed by Christmas meal at the Stakesby Arms. No one goes home without a prize, the prize table is organised by Dave Perrett.
Last match of 2015 will be Wednesday 23rd December, returning Sunday 3rd January 2016 after the Christmas break.

13.00hrs stopped off en route to my fishing mark - Sandsend beach & clear skies
Low water 17.14 hrs 2.1 metres 10°C, 1004mbar
The penultimate match of 2015, 21 senior members, and 1 Jnr, were competing for the Christmas Match Trophy, and the ‘Help a Capital Child’ Heaviest Fish Trophy. The match was sponsored by Malcolm & Paula Pitman of Hook, Line & Sinker tackle shop, Church St, Whitby. The Hfish trophy, Help A Capital Child is sponsored by WSAA member Mick Beedle. Many thanks from WSAA for their kind & generous sponsorships.
Slack tide, fishing 3 down and 2 up, long distance Northerly swell 2-3ft with plenty of colour. Wind was the problem, a very strong SWesterly 22 mph with gusts 42 mph, making for a cold few hours once the sun set. The sky was virtually cloudless and between 5 & 7 pm those members that had a northerly view were treated to an Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) show, the faint green arc with spikes was visible to the naked eye.
With an hour to weigh-in members could fish the full 5 hrs with no rush to stop finish fishing before time. 12 members were at the scales having caught 39 assorted fish for 72 lb 13 oz (an average of 1 lb 14 oz) with 3 good fish to grace the fish pan.
Winner of the Christmas Match 2015 was Rob Allison 5 codlings for 16 lb 05 oz. Rob last won the trophy in 2009. In his bag, his Hfish of 5 lb 02 oz was not good enough to beat Dave Perrett’s single codling of 6 lb 08 oz to win the ‘Help A Capital Child’ trophy. Bernard Vasey also had a good codling of 4 lb 12 oz.
Dave Perrett’s fish now takes the lead in the Hfish ‘monthly sweep’ for December, with one match remaining before the Christmas break. Members return in the New Year Sunday 3rd January 2016.
After the weigh-in members enjoyed the hospitality of The Stakesby Arms for a hot carvery, and refreshments, many thanks to Tracey Stevens and her staff. This was followed by the prize giving, where no member goes home without a prize.
Wednesday nights Singles Knockout Final between James Moore & Andrew Cass, will now be fished in the New Year due to work commitments.

High water afternoon dog walk Sandsend beach 14.12 hrs 5.3 metres
Low water 20.30 hrs 1.4 metres, 8°C, 1012mbar
Last match of 2015 and mid-season as storm Eva approaches from the south west. Strong WSWesterly winds all day shifted early on in the match to SWesterly 25 mph with gusts of 40 mph. Sea state was flat with slight close to shore NWesterly 1ft swell with colour. Low water was mid match for yet another scratching match. Some ventured onto the open scaurs in search of a codling or two, others to the soft grounds, pier or beach for whitings and flat fish.
The near full ‘blue moon’ shone brightly overhead and thankfully by 21.00hrs heavy cloud blew in but the fishing didn’t improve with the added darkness on the flood.
Only 9 of the 15 members were at the scales with 31 assorted fish - 8 codlings, 18 whitings, 2 billets, 2 rocklings a flat fish for 30 lb 02 oz [giving a weigh-in average 1lb 00 oz].
Man of the match Dave Perrett, 14 whitings for 9 lb 01 oz. Hfish was shared, between Rob Allison, and Ben Laws. Rob (2) and Ben (1) identical fish of 2 lb 11 oz, monies to be shared 2/3rds 1/3rd in light of there being 3 identical fish.
Decembers sweeps, Hfish was won by Dave Perrett 6 lb 08 oz caught in the Christmas match on Sunday 20th Dec. HBoFish Ben Laws 18 lb 12 oz (28) 2nd Dec [despite Paul Kilpatrick having 22 lb 04 oz (6) 13th Dec as not entered into the monthly sweepstakes].
The 7 matches for December produced 458 fish, 460 lb 11 oz [average 1 lb 00 oz, 13 oz & 14 oz down on Oct & Nov respectfully] - 85 codlings, 14 billets, 22 rocklings, 21 flat fish, 315 whitings, & 1 thornback ray.

Sunday morning 9am dog walk easterly sea with strong SSEasterly winds and torrential rain (imminent)
Perfect start to New Year for Peter

Low water 16.23 hrs 2.4 metres 998 mbar 8°C
Happy New Year & Tight Lines for 2016 from WSAA
Sunday, a thoroughly miserable dark damp day weather wise did not let up & continued into the 1st match of 2016. Pressure dropping fast as a low system sweeps in, very strong SSEasterly winds swinging SEasterly with gusts up to 44mph bringing torrential rain. There was a good sea running, easterly swell 4-6ft for the all flood 4hr evening match 6 - 10pm.
Finding a sheltered fishable mark and staying on ones feet was not an easy feat. It was a hard match with members changing their minds and switching locations mid match as the sea was too heavy and weed was fresh and plentiful. As HWater approached (22.29hrs 4.3m) there were periods of calm as the swell lost momentum over the outer scaur ridges, leading to surges. By 21.00 hrs the wind dropped, which improved casting but the fresh run fish just weren’t there.
Only 8 of the 13 members fishing returned to the scales with fish. Man of the Match was Ben Laws 2 codlings 7 lb 04 oz. On the Leader Board Ben is now 51 lb 02 oz behind leader Rob Allison. Rob managed a single codling 5 lb 06 oz. Hfish of the night fell to Peter Horbury, a dark red codling - 6 lb 03 oz caught and in the bag by 18.10 hrs on his 1st cast of the evening. Bites were few and far between, some reported none at all in the appalling conditions.
Singles KOut final between Andrew Cass & James Moore will be fished on Wednesday.
Over the festive break there were two opens:-
1 - Sunday 27th Dec 2015, the Station Inn Open (Hfish match) took place, 51 seniors & 2 juniors weighed-in. Overall winner Phil Walker 8 lb 12½ oz. WSAA member Andrew Cass was 3rd overall 8 lb 04 oz which now takes the lead in the Hfish Out of WSAA Competition.
2 - Tuesday 29th December 2015 Cloughton Festive Sweepstakes was won by local Whitby angler Mike Vasey with an astonishing 52 lb 11 oz bag & Hfish 16 lb 02 oz.
Locally a couple of good fish have been landed Liam Costin of Cosos Tackle Supplies, Scarborough achieved a PB 11 lb 03 oz
Paul Lobley, Redcar, landed a 12 lb 08 oz cod off Whitby West pier on his first cast 2nd Jan 2016.
Results:- 11 codling for 43 lb 02 oz

Paul Short - 6 lb 05½ oz
Low water 19.37 hrs 2.0 metres, 1002 mbar, 8°C
Since Sunday nights match there has been no let-up in the weather, strong ESEasterly winds bringing more rain, Easterly swell with plenty of colour, 3-5ft. Wednesday nights match started in heavy rain, fishing last 50 mins of the ebb on a very slack tide. Out on open scaur it was just possible to reach the edge of the tangle beds on the 2.0 metre ebb. The rain soon eased but a menacing dark storm loomed on the horizon.
The flood didn’t push back as quickly as expected but made up for a slow start with prolonged surges. No reports of weed, although unfishable, the local beaches were littered with drift wood pushed out to sea from the swollen rivers.
Come 9pm the wind increased significantly bringing heavy rain and hail, the temperature had dropped as the storm finally reached the shoreline. Cold wet hands, bait bags and kit being blown all over, coat toggles flapping furiously in ones eyes, not a pleasant finish to a few hours fishing. Casting any distance and bite detection was nye on impossible in the last hour.
At the weigh-in 12 of the 15 members fishing brought 27 assorted fish for 59 lb 14 oz (av. 2 lb 13 oz) a better stamp of fish was welcome. 18 codlings, 5 rocklings, 2 billets & 2 whitings. Despite the sea state the catch was relatively poor with only one double figure bag. Man of the Match, with his first win of the season James ‘Jamsy’ Moore, 3 for 12 lb 03 oz, his HFish 4 lb 10 oz.
Congratulations to James Moore securing the Singles KOut trophy, and commiserations to runner-up Andrew Cass,
3 for 9 lb 10 oz, his Hfish 4 lb 15 oz - 2nd overall.
Hfish of the night fell to Paul Short 6 lb 05½ oz on his first cast of the night. Both Paul & James Moore now lead in the monthly sweeps HBoFish & Hfish.
Congratulations also to Jnr member Chris McCarthy 4th overall with 2 codlings, 1 whiting for 6 lb 10 oz his Hfish 3 lb 12½ oz which beats his previous ‘pier caught’ record 3 lb 01½ oz - 22nd Oct 2014.
Results:- 27 fish for 59 lb 14 oz (Av. 2 lb 13 oz)

Sunday morning low water dog walk
Ben Laws - 7 lb 07½ oz
Low water 22.33 hrs 0.8 metres, 980 mbar, 7°C
Sunday and the sea state was dropping back from the heavy SEasterlies of last week to 1-2 ft NEasterly swell. Plenty of colour in the water for members fishing down to LWater on the biggest tide of the month. Wind was strong SWesterly, but by 20.30 hrs had dropped to a welcome gentle breeze.
17 members & 1 junior headed out, buoyed up by the recent local PB catch, a single 20 lb cod by Perry Franklin (ex WSAA member) on Friday night 8th Jan. Well done Perry from all at WSAA.
Weigh masters Bernard Vasey & James Gilpin were kept busy at the weigh-in as 16 members queued for their turn at the scales, 3 double figure bags - 24 codlings, 12 whitings, 4 rocklings, 2 flat fish & 1 billet. Man of the match with both HBoFish & Hfish Ben Laws, his 4th win, 15 lb 04 oz, 7 lb 07½ oz respectfully. Ben is 45 lb 01 oz shy of leader Rob Allison, who topped 200 lb with 3 codlings for 9 lb 05 oz, Rob’s HFish 4 lb 06½ oz. Andrew Cass, 3rd overall 3 codlings 10 lb 11 oz is only 13 lb 09 oz behind Ben.
In the New Year & under the radar, the EU sneaked in a new law making it illegal to take home a single bass, sadly James Pearce caught a bass of 4 lb early on in Sunday nights match and had to return it or face a £50,000 fine. The EU has also decreed that from June 2016 anglers can keep 1 bass/day.
There are 3 members, Richard Deadman, Matthew Garbutt & Rob Allison whom are averaging at 2 lb 08 oz / fish. January’s average fish is 2 lb 05 oz with Sunday’s average at 1 lb 15 oz a far cry from last Sunday 3rd Jan. 3 lb 15 oz
The Secretary’s Challenge Trophy match between Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. & Cloughton Rock Anglers will be fished Sunday 7th February, 10-4pm (for fully paid up members only), weigh-in, followed by refreshments at the Fleece, Church St, Whitby.
Results:- 43 assorted fish - 84 lb 02 oz

Sandsend early afternoon dog walk, 2 sandbars, constantly moving / changing
Ben Laws - 4 lb 01½ oz
High water 18.13 hrs 5.8 metres, 1010 mbar, 6°C
Wednesday started fine, bright and sunny, but by evening the forecast was for change as another weather front moved in. Sea state was NEasterly 2-3ft swell with plenty of colour. An all ebb match with opposing wind and swell. This did not help the swell as its strength was knocked back both by the ebb tide and wind. High water gave shelter to anglers close to the shoreline from the wind, a chilling SWesterly dropping further into the south bringing rain showers right from the start at 7pm.
Cliff marks, piers and local beaches were chosen with mixed results, William Atkinson reported dropping a 7 lb fish when his reel jammed as he lifted the fish out of the water, Dave Perrett reported he was after codling on the sand but whitings were constantly at his large codling baits. “Could have filled up on whitings if I’d used two small hooks”. Fresh lug worm was bait of choice, freshly dug during the larger tides this week.
Quite a few members had made bad choices in choosing their marks due to the changing conditions, and weed, leading to lost time driving elsewhere in search of a weigh-in. Runswick beach, south side, was littered with 2ft high piles of weed and weed soup as far as the eye could see.
Of the 16 members & 1 junior fishing, 13 were at the scales with an assorted catch 28 whitings, 13 codlings, 2 flat fish. Bernard Vasey & James Gilpin were in fine ‘comedy’ mode brightening up the dismal damp evening as members presented their catches for ‘scrutiny’. Total 43 fish (as Sunday) 55 lb 03 oz
Andrew Cass & Paul Short share ‘Man of the Match’, Andrew had a 3 lb 12 oz codling in his bag but alas Ben Laws (for the second match in a row) having Hfish 4 lb 01½ oz
With reports of some good fish being caught locally this month many a pleasure angler were ‘out & about’, and another local angler adds his name to the list. Well done to Dan Green, North Skelton, on successfully landing a PB 11 lb 08 oz cod on Wednesday night.
Results:- 43 assorted fish 55 lb 03 oz (Av 1 lb 05 oz)

8 lb’er Happy Birthday present for Ben Laws
Ben Laws - 8 lb 06 oz
High water 21.46 hrs 4.9 metres, 1021 mbar, 3°C
Sunday morning -2°C, good NEasterly swell running into Sandsend, gentle Southerly cold wind 1040mbar but otherwise bright. Surfers were out early making the most of the favourable conditions over high water. For the evening match, the swell had dropped right off to less than 2ft with plenty of colour as had the air pressure fallen 1021 mbar. Wind had increased & moved slightly, SEasterly, bitterly cold with no sunshine to cut the edge off. Plenty of welcome cloud cover to hide the moon.
Nineteen members & 1 Jnr were fishing the 4 hr match with many a pleasure angler. Some members elected to travel, and returned with better catches than more than a few of those who stayed local. Dave Perrett reported the wind hindered bite detection, so decided to move, pulled in a welcome ‘Larry lay-on’ of 4 lb 06 oz, then elected to stay put, with no further bites.
Only 9 members graced the scales with 28 whitings, 9 codlings, 2 billets, 2 flat fish for a disappointing 53 lb 12 oz. Weed was in abundance on Sandsend beach, fouling main lines and end tackle, one possible reason why the fish just weren’t there unlike the ‘fish chasers’. With reports of a double figure fish landed off the east pier on Friday night 18 lights were counted. One member reported “never ever seen so many anglers there. Why? The fish has already been caught! It’s a different tide & different conditions, just like on the west pier last week.”
Members also reported anglers packing up and leaving the east pier as news of an 8 lb’er coming off the sand soon spread up the pier. Off to chase yet another already caught fish.
Ben Laws, Man of the Match, with the only double figure bag, 4 codlings & 2 whitings - 17 lb 02 oz. Ben had a late birthday present in his bag, HFish of the night 8 lb 06 oz (his 3rd HFish in a row & 3rd Sunday win HBoFish in a row). Ben reported leaving his fishing mark at ‘time’ to be greeted by anglers eagerly asking ‘Where had he caught his 8 lb’er?’ - Lesson learnt.
Ben has closed the gap to leader Rob Allison to 23 lb 11 oz with 21 matches left to the season. Ben has again increased both the HBoFish & HFish targets for members to beat in the ‘monthly sweeps’ for January.
Results:- 28 whitings, 9 codlings, 2 billets, 2 flat fish 53 lb 12 oz

Low water 19.21 hrs, 1.8 metres, 1021mbar, 5°C
Wednesday night, a welcome NNEasterly swell 4ft with plenty of colour, but a slack tide for the near all flood match. Observed Sandsend beach is still littered with weed on the afternoon dog walk. Wind was a very gentle cold NWesterly for members out on the open scaurs fishing the tangle beds. Cloud cover, thankfully was heavy, to shield a near full moon.
The tide was slow to turn around for the flood, lacked strength, with 7 or so good swells followed by calm. Fish bites were finicky and gentle during the first 2hrs with fish found to be laid-on. Paul Short reported hooking a ‘good’ fish, played it for all of 40yds, when it turned and snapped his line. “Best fish I’ve hooked all season” he muttered as he passed me on the scaur. James Jamsy Moore also reported snapping off a ‘good’ fish which he too struggled to get its head up. “But that’s fishing” he said.
Of the 16 members & 1 Jnr fishing, 11 returned with 35 assorted fish - 17 codlings, 15 whitings, 3 billets. Members reporting it was hard going with only two double figure bags. Returning to form, and Man of the Match for the 7th time, Rob Allison four codlings for 14 lb 09 oz, extending his lead over 2nd place Ben Laws to 38 lb 04 oz. HFish fell to James Moore, for the 2nd time this season - 4 lb 10 oz.
Peter Horbury reported checking his phone for time 21.59 hrs when a fish pulled his rod out of his hands and very nearly dropping his phone in 2 ft of water, but landed both his phone & fish.
January (to date) has seen no less than 13 (max 20) members fishing every match, returning with an average weigh-in of 58 lb 12 oz (Av fish 1 lb 12 oz) & have weighed-in to date 92 codlings, 8 billets, 9 rocklings, 6 flat fish, 85 whitings for
352 lb 08 oz
Noted Malcolm Pitman 108 fish is closing down Ben Laws 110 fish for the Greatest Number of Fish in a season trophy.
Sunday, there will be no night match as it is the Bell Trophy, the Inter Club Tournament competition organised by Scarborough Rock Anglers. Members wishing to fish should meet Oasis Café, Marine Drive, Scarborough for 8.30/9am. Fishing 10-2pm Entrance fee is £3, WSAA members £10, £3 for Tournament and £7 split 50/50 for HBoF & HF sweeps. Weights gained during the match count towards Leader Board.

North Bay, Scarborough 8.30 am
Scarborough Rock Anglers secretary George Dunn rings the Sana bell, bringing competitors closer.
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 Assoc. 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.

A topic of discussion prior to Bell Trophy registration - Latest Bass restrictions from the EU.
A conversation was recounted by an angler he'd recently had with a Fisheries Inspector - "it's not yet in English law and the 3 bag limit & 42 cms size is still in place for us recreational anglers".
So just before 11pm last night I emailed David McCandless, Chief Inshore Fisheries & Conservation Officer.
This morning his prompt reply was waiting for me, and yes we can still catch 3 bass per day.
David McCandless has promised to let me know as & when it comes into force.
Tight lines
Peter.
PS I watched Country File last night & the BBC were also saying the Bass ban is now in force - it isn't.

Afternoon dog walk very cold and very windy
Chris McCarthy - 6 lb 11½ oz
High water 18.02 hrs 5.5 metres, 1001 mbar, 6°C
The sea state for Wednesday nights 3hr match was far from ideal, flat calm, an all ebb match, plenty of colour in the water due to the recent heavy rainfall. Wind was strong SWesterly 28 mph with gusts forecast of 40 mph. The UK was feeling the tail end of storm Jonah (Jonas) that had delivered heavy snow fall to the east coast of America, over 1 metre in some cities. Temperatures in the single figures, and dropping further on the cloudless night, wind chill did not help, not enough for gloves but wet hands whilst baiting up soon felt the cold.
Some members travelled to enhance their chances of a good bag of whitings, flat fish, in deeper waters, or possibly pick up the odd codling, in this scratching match. Fishing at this time of year can be frustrating as the fish have moved into deeper water to spawn. Ironically the best fish of the match were caught locally.
9pm the moon rose (seen facing south) and started its alignment with the 5 planets, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter, theoretically the best time to see this (last seen in 2005) will be February 5th at 06.45hrs. Two extra stars Antares & Spica will also be visible. Around this time the swell started to increase WNWesterly sadly too late to improve the fishing. Fish bites had been finicky as the fish were not taking the bait first time. Fish baits (mackerel & sand eel) were ignored as fresh lug worm was fishing best. James ‘Jamsy’ Moore having lost a good fish mid match picked up two sized flat fish last cast.
Twelve members were at the scales with an assortment of fish - 36 whitings, 5 codlings, 4 flat fish and 1 lesser spotted dogfish of 2 lb 06 oz from Dave Ward. One member stood out, with a Personal Best (PB) with all members full of praise.
Man of the Match was Dave Perrett - 12 whitings - 8 lb 15 oz. But the fish of the night, a well-deserved PB cod of 6 lb 11½ oz fell to Chris McCarthy (Jnr). Chris is proving he can fish with the seniors and hold his own. Very keen, ‘up and coming’ angler, eager to learn from his mentor Ben Laws, lying 18th on the Leader Board, just 2 oz shy of 50 lb - 39 fish. Chris said his bait of choice was ‘dirty squid’ – well done Chris. Juniors are the future of angling and WSAA would welcome a few more, so dads, uncles dust them rods off and take the kids fishing.
Results:- 46 assorted fish 48 lb 07 oz (Av 1 lb 01 oz)

High water 20.32 hrs 4.7 metres, 1008 mbar, 6°C
Storm Gertrude has only past the UK, storm Henry was already inbound for Sunday night. Sea state was NWesterly swell 2-3ft, growing, with plenty of colour, for the evenings 4 hr match. Wind was moderate offshore SWesterly which thankfully did not, as forecasted, increase in strength. Fishing up & over high water piers and beaches were well populated, not so many on cliff marks. A pegged match on Sandsend beach finished at 6pm as WSAA members set up, never seen so many head torches.
Right from the start of the match constant heavy to moderate drizzle made fishing uncomfortable. Fresh worm had to be kept covered to stop osmosis, bags and boxes closed.
Swells were not regular, and on occasion doubled up catching anglers out if their gear was not stowed well back up the beach. Dropping a well hooked codling on the beach, as I went to catch the next rig, one such swell washed that rig + fish right up the beach to the new sea defences. Fish bites were few and far between despite the favourable sea state on Sandsend beach.
Congratulations to WSAA Jnr member Chris McCarthy on beating his PB (Wednesday night’s match 6 lb 11½ oz) on Saturday night with a good spragg 9 lb 07 oz to take the lead in the HFish out of Competition beating Andrew Cass 8 lb 04 oz - Station Inn Open 27th Dec 2015.
14 of the 16 members fishing were at the scales as Bernard & James scrutinised the catch with their usual banter. 68 whitings, 13 codlings, 4 flat fish, 1 billet for 87 lb 11 oz, the best weigh-in for January, match av. 1 lb 00 oz.
Man of the Match, with his 3rd win, Malcolm Pitman 22 lb 12 oz - 32 whitings, 3 flat fish. Could be a new WSAA record greatest number of fish caught in a match? Malcolm’s lead in the Greatest No. of Fish caught is 31 over Ben Laws.
Heaviest fish of the night fell to Colin Stainthorpe - 5 lb 12 oz, and Rob Allison also had a 5 lb’er in his bag of 4 codlings for
13 lb 08 oz increasing his lead to 48 lb 06 oz over 2nd place Ben Laws.
Winners of the Monthly Sweeps:-
HBoFish - Malcolm Pitman - 22 lb 12 oz (35) - 31st Jan
HFish - Ben Laws - 8 lb 06 oz - 17th Jan

14.00 hrs afternoon dog walk on Sandsend beach
Paul Short - 5 lb 10 oz
Low water 17.43 hrs, 2.4 metres, 1026 mbar, 3°C
Wednesday nights all flood match on a slack tide did not fish as well as expected considering in the morning 4-6ft of NWesterly sea was running down to low water. The returning flood had lost its momentum, leading to surging and periods of calm. Very little colour bar some milkiness did not help. The bright sunny day soon disappeared under heavy cloud cover, a sharp, dry, cold moderate NWesterly wind which members commented on as being ‘cold enough for gloves’.
The advancing flood was as slow as the fishing, with few fish bites, plenty of time to watch and listen to an RAF exercise out at sea to the north, a flare was spotted and the navigation lights of aircraft could be seen.
12 members were at the scales with 19 codlings, 2 whitings for 55 lb 11 oz (an Av 2 lb 10 oz). Man of the Match, for the second time, Paul Short - 2 codlings for 9 lb, with his heaviest 5 lb 10 oz taking HFish of the night. Next best fish came from Malcolm Pitman 3 lb 15 oz. Paul has set the bar for February’s sweeps. Rob Allison - 4 codlings 7 lb 15 oz is maintaining a 49 lb lead over 2nd place Ben Laws - 2 codlings 7 lb 05 oz.
Lug worm (fresh or frozen) with peeler crab seemed to be the most successful bait. Weed, both fine green grass and bladder rack was a problem mid match fouling lines and end tackle. Highest aggregate fish weight 2 lb 09 oz currently held by Richard Deadman with 16 matches still to fish. Members are reminded by the weigh masters to ‘present’ clean fish to the scales - sand, shale & grass must be washed off.
Sunday is a day match, WSAA & Cloughton Rock Anglers are resurrecting an old inter club match, last fished Thursday 29th December 1988 where Whitby won with an average 1 lb 4 oz / man & Cloughton had an Av 12 oz / man. Ironically both HF & HBoFish fell to current WSAA Secretary Peter Horbury with 1 fish for 7 lb 12 oz. Many thanks to our Chairman William Atkinson who supplied his records for the 4 matches that were fished, for the then W Miller Trophy. William pointed out that on every match fished the hosts always lost, the tally is 2 - 2 hopefully WSAA can change that on Sunday.
Results:- 21 fish - 55 lb 11 oz (Av 2 lb 10 oz)

Bright sunny windy Sunday morning en-route to our fishing mark, the calm before storm Imogen hits
Alex Halder - 5 lb 12 oz
Low water 09.07 hrs 1.4 metres, 986mbar, 8°C
Secretary’s Challenge Trophy - full report & photographs.
Whitby - V - Cloughton Rock Anglers
The two clubs revived their inter-club match, last fished in 1988 which Cloughton hosted and Whitby won, making it 2-2. Brought about by a joint effort from both club secretaries, Peter Halder & Peter Horbury, and long may it continue with the support of the members from WSAA & CRA’s.
Storm Imogen was fast approaching the west coast of the UK, strong south westerly winds made for a dropping sea 1-2ft of both Northerly and NEasterly swells. Water was coloured but with a poor catch forecast it was going to be a hard match for all. Rain held off, although a few rainbows were spotted at sea off Kettleness.
Wind was a problem even though it was off the land it vortexed down the cliffs, one minute northerly the next southerly. As the flood pushed anglers back the wind eased and no longer hindered casting. Bright sunshine for some, as others were in the shade of the cliffs which may have given them an advantage. Match started at 10 am, and for 6 hrs (hoping) for just one good codling would be enough, but fish bites were scarce unless you targeted for what was in front of you - in my case, rocklings.
Come 4pm anglers had 90 minutes to reach the weigh-in at the Fleece, Church St. Whitby. Many thanks to Bernard Vasey, James Gilpin & Dave Perrett, who didn’t fish but oversaw the weigh-in. After the weigh-in members retired to the Fleece for refreshments, a hearty stew with crusty bread had been laid on courtesy of Carla Marchment, landlady of the Fleece. Many thanks from all, it was most welcome and appreciated.
Of the 29 members fishing (18 from Cloughton & 11 from Whitby) only 17 managed a weigh-in - 16 rocklings, 9 codlings, 4 whitings, 3 billets, 1 flat fish, and 1 pouting grazed the scales - 34 fish for 29 lb 03 oz.
Many thanks to Peter Halder and the Cloughton members for a memorable match, and to congratulate them as this years winners, Av 1 lb 09 oz / man to Whitby’s Av 12½ oz / man.
For the prizes, each club contributing £50 and match entries brought the total prize fund to £245, split 50/50 for HBoF & HFish sweeps, then split 50/30/20% for 1st, 2nd & 3rd.

Welcome NNWesterly swell 5-6ft, not a lot of beach left for an afternoon dog walk
Ben Laws - 12 lb 08 oz
High water 17.16 hrs 6.0 metres, 994mbar, 4°C
Storm Imogen had past well off to the NEast, the tail end of the low pressure systems NWesterly winds brought welcome NNWesterly swells 5-6ft. The 3 hr match started 2 hrs back from high water. A big ebbing tide 6.0 m, is far from ideal, as marks can drain off too quickly drawing end tackle into snags. Or as last night, surging on a very slow ebb, anglers had to be watchful, never having ones back to the sea as swells pushed up to the high-water mark 2 hrs after HWater.
Weed was a mid-match hindrance for some, making a mark move necessary. Come 21.00 hrs the ebb had quickened, the swell disappeared to near flat sea state, the ebb just took off with little hope of picking up any fish.
Temperature had dropped to 4°C, combined with clear skies, and a sharp wind, it was painful on wet fingers whilst baiting up. By the end of the match a frost had formed on the exposed headlands as anglers returned to their cars.
Of the 17 seniors & 1 Jnr fishing only 11 returned to the scales with 23 codlings and a whiting for 75 lb 15 oz. 3 double figure bags were weighed. Man of the Match with his 6th win Ben Laws 2 for 17 lb 09 oz, his HFish 12 lb 08 oz was well received and takes the lead in the HFish caught in competition. Caught on his penultimate cast of the night Ben was well pleased, closing the gap to leader Rob Allison to 37 lb, and 30 lb ahead of Andrew Cass.
William Atkinson reported losing a good fish (8 lb) in the surf prior to lifting it, and another smaller fish, both believed to be lip hooked as fish bites were very timid. Chris McCarthy (Jnr) continues to fish well weighing a single codling of 4 lb 05 oz, overall a respectable 17th on the Leader Board.
It’s always nice to land a few fish, as was the case for Perry Franklin & Brian Harland last night. Fishing Saltwick ledge they left their bagged fish securely in the rocks as they had no intention of carry them to Real Hole / Creta Block & back. On their return they were disheartened to discover fellow anglers had removed the fish & bag. Numerous anglers were fishing, Tea Gardens & Saltwick nab. Lesson learnt.
Results:- 24 fish - 75 lb 15 oz (Av 3 lb 01 oz)

9am, and not enough sand for a Sunday morning stroll
High water 20.22 hrs 5.2 metres, 1004mbar, 4°C felt like -3°C
Valentines Day, there was nothing romantic about the weather, NNEasterly swell 3-5ft, lacking any colour and growing as high water approached. Wind was bitterly cold strong onshore NEasterly, swinging more into the east by 20.30 hrs and getting stronger. Hale showers added to the discomfort, as snow fell on higher ground. Cliff marks and piers were popular, Runswick Bay was full of pleasure anglers following a social media posting of a fish the previous night (can’t catch ‘em twice!), as was said 'Kings lead peasants follow'.
A 3 car RTA disrupted traffic on the coast road at Lythe Bank for a number of hours delaying some members from travelling before the match started. Members waited as police directed traffic past the scene, reporting snow & ice as the probable cause.
Eighteen members, and a Jnr were fishing the 4hr match, reported as being the coldest match this season. The strong onshore winds hampered casting and bite detection was nye on impossible. Of them only 4 returned to the scales with 18 fish for a 17 lb 02 oz (Av 15 oz). Members on the west pier reported no fish, same on the east pier, only an under sized billet for me and weed.
Man of the match Malcolm Pitman, his 4th win, 14 whitings -
8 lb 11 oz. Bringing Malcolm’s fish count is now 160. Colin Stainthorpe picked up HFish 4 lb 12 oz, his 2nd HFish win. Colin reported whilst fishing the Amble Open earlier in the day he had the misfortune to break his rod. A gust of wind blew his rod stand over on the scaur, instantly snapping it in two. Ironically Sean Crowe, Scarborough, moved into where he had been fishing, and won the Amble Open with a single codling of 10 lb 07½ oz - congratulations Sean wining both HFish & HBoFish.
Results:- 18 fish - 2 codlings, 15 whitings, 1 billet

Afternoon dog walk, just before heavens opened
Denis Thompson - 5 lb 08 oz
Low water 17.48 hrs 2.0 metres, 1017 mbar, 3°C
Inclement weather for Wednesday nights 3hr, an all flood match on a very slack tide. Sea state during the day was flat calm, albeit a slight northerly swell grew bringing the occasional run of 1 ft swells. Not enough, in conjunction with no tidal action, to bring the fish in to feed in the near crystal clear water. A fresh westerly off shore wind brought continuous heavy drizzle for members to contend with. Temperature had dropped, 3°C, tied in with the rain and wind made the fingers numb with cold.
Fishing on the beach alongside James Moore, each using 2 hook flappers with 1/0 hooks, James connected with 3 fish early on, but lost them all on the way in, believed to be lip hooked. Fish bites were timid ‘one hit wonders’ and no return, despite using a full range of tempting baits the most successful was smelly lug worm.
Looking up & down the beach there were very few head torches, those that were ‘out & about’ were constantly on the move trying to find a fish or two. Some members elected to travel to Scarborough but were plagued with undersized whitings, averaging at 4 for every keeper.
Members were slow to the scales as James & Bernard huddled under an umbrella, and only 8 presented fish, predominantly whitings, 31, to 2 codlings. Denis Thompson, with his 2nd win, was Man of the Match with 2 codlings for 8 lb 04 oz, his HFish
5 lb 08 oz. Denis hasn’t had a HFish win since October 2015, when he had two that month - 5 lb 13 oz & 9 lb. Denis moves up to 7th on the Leader Board, passing Paul Short who didn’t managed a weigh-in.
Only twelve matches left till close, and 5th - 9th places are separated by only 11 lb in total on the Leader Board, the biggest gap being 3 lb 08 oz, so it’s all still to fish for. The top 4 are each separated by between 16 lb to 35 lb, or 109 lb between 1st & 5th.
Malcolm Pitman still leads in the fish count, at 166. Richard Deadman records the Heaviest Av Fish 2 lb 09 oz, 2nd is Rob Allison 2 lb 08 oz, 3rd Bernard Vasey 2 lb 04 oz.
Most ‘weigh-ins’ is tied at 32 (from 39) between Rob Allison, James Moore & Peter Horbury.
Results:- 33 fish - 26 lb 14 oz (Av 0 lb 13 oz)

Brace of spraggs for Rob
Rob Allison - 14 lb 15 oz (2)
Low water 21.42 hrs 1.1 metres, 1006 mbar 12°C
Sunday nights 4hr match started in daylight, heavy cloud cover hiding the bright (full) Lenten Moon, (also known as the snow moon, February traditionally the month of heavy snow). The sea state early morning had been flat calm but forecast for change as the mild weather continues 12°C.
Fishing a fast ebbing tide to low water 21.42 hrs, a northerly swell had been growing all afternoon 2-3ft, too late to stir up any colour. There was also a cross long distance easterly swell. The westerly wind brought light rain showers and steadily increased in strength with strong gusts.
Members had a choice, to fish the sand all match for whitings or fishing into the thick tangle beds as the scaurs drained off in the hope of finding some codlings. The only downside to the open scaurs, was the wind, pulling end tackle into snags, and at times was strong enough for one to be caught off balance.
Fish bites were timid, probably due to the clear water state, Bernard Vasey reported 2 fish early on in the match with the potential for two more but with these timid bites they didn’t return. Sandsend beach was a popular venue to start the match but soon proved fishless and members moving marks, the west pier being popular for whitings.
Sixteen seniors & one Jnr member were fishing, only 10 presented fish at the scales, so Bernard wasn’t exactly rushed as members slowly returned, the weigh-in was again predominantly whitings. 41 assorted fish - 28 whitings, 8 codlings, 4 rocklings & 1 flat fish - 49 lb 03 oz (Av 1 lb 03 oz)
Early to the scales was Rob Allison, Man of the Match, who slide a brace of red spraggs into the pan for 14 lb 15 oz - the heaviest 7 lb 15 oz took HFish of the night. Rob’s lead over 2nd place Ben Laws now stands at 47 lb. The only mover on the Leader Board being Denis Thompson up to 6th passing Colin Stainthorpe by
13 oz. Malcolm Pitman closes in on 8th place, only 8 oz behind Paul Short.
The mild weather is set for another change as winter returns.

Rob Allison - 4 lb 13 oz
High water 17.04 hrs 5.6 metres, 1016 mbar, 2°C
“It just didn’t happen”
Winter returns for Wednesday nights 3 hr match with a promising northerly swell 5-9ft with plenty of colour. A gentle NNWesterly wind, plenty of cloud cover hiding the near full moon. Tackling up for the match there was a flurry of snow & hail as the temperature neared zero. The sea state had grown all day, but with heavy surging the waves ran back up the beach to the high water line, despite the ebb being 2hrs back. Standing high up on the beach, rods held high to stop slack line dropping into the surf and collecting unwanted weed, bladder rack and fine green grass although not heavy it was still a hindrance.
Conditions were not right, coupled with the time of year when fish are off into deeper waters spawning. An ebb tide in darkness, whereas a flood in darkness may have been more productive. Twenty+ rods down Runswick Bay and one by one they left, as more arrived to try their luck despite asking and being told we’d had nothing. Summing up the night - “It just didn’t happen, off home” was a text message I received from one member. “3 fish from 9 rods on the west pier” another message - not good. Could this be a sign of things to come?
Of the 17 members fishing only 6 managed to find 14 codlings between them for 30 lb 12 oz. Man of the Match with his second win of the season Paul Kilpatrick 5 codlings - 9 lb 09 oz giving a master class in fishing the beach picked up his 5th fish bang on 10pm. Paul very nearly missed the weigh-in due to his car not starting and grabbed a lift with Dave Perrett.
Rob Allison continues to fish well, had 3 codlings for 8 lb 10 oz, HFish of the night 4 lb 13 oz. Rob average fish weight for the season is 2 lb 10 oz, and maintains a healthy lead over 2nd place Ben Laws with only 10 matches left of the season.
Once again WSAA’s only junior member Chris McCarthy continues to fish well 2 codlings 4 lb 04 oz for 3rd place.
WSAA presentation night has been booked Saturday 16th April at The Stables.
Results:- 14 codlings - 30 lb 12 oz (Av 2 lb 03 oz)

Sunday morning dog walk 9.10am
Denis Thompson - 5 lb 01 oz
High water 19.15 hrs, 5.0 metres, 1028mbar, 0°C
The last match of February, and Sunday nights 4 hr match started in daylight as the temperature fell to 0°C forming a widespread frost. A cool northerly wind brought some cloud cover late on, on an otherwise starry night sky with little moon light. Sea state was crystal clear northerly ‘blash’ - close to shore shallow swell with no definition of swell lines. Fishing the last hour of flood and 3 back was to be a hard fought match for all, and some disappointment.
Members travelled for a fish or two, and in some cases moved mid match as their quest was fruitless. Fish bites were fierce, with one good pull and gone, especially over slack water. Bait wise, razor fish fished better than fresh lug for the whitings. On these nights you have to fish for what is in front of you with confidence, even if it is whitings, billets, rocklings, and flat fish, it’s all weight, which is what match fishing is all about with only 9 matches left. At this time of year codlings can be scarce, and in years gone by, it hasn’t been unknown for there to be no fish to be weighed-in in matches during March.
Of the 17 members fishing 12 slowly returned with an assortment of fish for Bernard & James to scrutinise, some fish too sandy & others too wet!! 45 whitings, 6 codlings, 3 billets, 2 rocklings & 2 flat fish for 49 lb 14 oz (Av 14 oz).

The last match of February, and Sunday nights 4 hr match started in daylight as the temperature fell to 0°C forming a widespread frost. A cool northerly wind brought some cloud cover late on, on an otherwise starry night sky with little moon light. Sea state was crystal clear northerly ‘blash’ - close to shore shallow swell with no definition of swell lines. Fishing the last hour of flood and 3 back was to be a hard fought match for all, and some disappointment.
Members travelled for a fish or two, and in some cases moved mid match as their quest was fruitless. Fish bites were fierce, with one good pull and gone, especially over slack water. Bait wise, razor fish fished better than fresh lug for the whitings. On these nights you have to fish for what is in front of you with confidence, even if it is whitings, billets, rocklings, and flat fish, it’s all weight, which is what match fishing is all about with only 9 matches left. At this time of year codlings can be scarce, and in years gone by, it hasn’t been unknown for there to be no fish to be weighed-in in matches during March.

High water 21.46 hrs 4.3 metres, 995 mbar, 3°C
Wednesday was a bright, cold, sunny day, however by 6pm the wind picked up, fresh NWesterly, thick cloud cover bringing rain, which didn’t let up all night. Sea-state (less than Sunday), 1ft NWesterly close to shore, and crystal clear - a scratching match for sure.
For the all flood match, to high water, members were spread far, Saltburn to Scarborough piers. Small hooks 1/0 or size 1, two hook traces for whitings and flat fish, with the hope a codling may be tempted with some fresh lug worm. Small hooks or big hooks the baits are just the same and 'if' codlings are caught, then up-size the hooks. It was hard work for all, some reported catching only undersized whitings. The constant rain got everywhere made worse with a shift in the wind direction and strength. Come 9pm, too late to improve the fishing, the sea-state started to grow.
At the weigh station Rob Allison assisted by shielding the scales with an umbrella from the wind as Bernard & James made short shift of the weigh-in as members very quickly disappeared inside the Fleece for some warm soup provided by Paula Pitman, Hook, Line & Sinker, Church Street - many thanks Paula.
Fifteen members fishing, of whom, eleven returned with 39 fish for 22 lb 03 oz. 30 whitings, 7 flat fish, 1 codling & 1 rockling. Man of the Match, new member this season Dave Ward, his 1st win - 8 whitings 4 lb 11 oz. Denis Thompson, HFish 1 lb 02 oz - the only codling weighed-in reflected the very poor nights fishing with the lowest match average fish weight this season - 9 oz.
Two movers on the Leader Board - Paul Short & Chris McCarthy (Jnr) move up a place to 7th & 16th respectfully. Malc Pitman’s determination is paying off as he closes the gap to 1 lb 10 oz on Colin Stainthorpe in 8th place, Colin’s last weigh-in 14th Feb, with 8 matches left of the season it could be a close fought battle for 7th, 8th, & 9th place trophies for Paul, Colin & Malcolm.
WSAA Trophies - could all members ‘polish’ and return all trophies to Dave Perrett for engraving. Presentation night Sat 16th April at The Stables. All meals to be pre-paid, monies, again, to Dave Perret.
Results:- 39 fish - 22 lb 03 oz (Av 0 lb 09 oz)

Low water 20.21 hrs 1.3 metres, 1008 mbar, 3°C
Winter returned for Sunday nights 4hr match. Mid-afternoon and the snow started to fall from an icy cold moderate onshore NNEasterly wind. With more snow forecast it was a question of where to go, and how bad will the roads be, come 10pm?
Sea state was crystal clear, regular long distance northerly swell 5ft which was knocked back by the ebb tide. Match started in daylight, fishing 2½hrs down to low water, the flood was slow to return. Even with the onshore wind the ebb was bigger than predicted. Early in the match weed was a problem as the recent heavy seas had deposited deep beds on the beaches. Weed could be seen in the surf making a move necessary. Even still main lines picked up fine grass weeds, fouling shock leader knots and end tackle.
Fish bites were few & far between, members reported it was definitely the coldest night of the season. Wet hands were soon punished with the wind chill and the temperature dropped below zero. Come 8pm the clouds cleared and one of the best Aurora Borealis shows was seen with the naked eye, with spikes/shafts reaching right up to the North Star. Anglers watched in awe but cloud moved in, impairing the horizon for the next big show at 21.30hrs. Soon after heavy snow stared to fall as members returned to their cars, and didn’t let up until after the weigh-in.
Of the 14 members fishing only 6 managed a weigh-in 12 codlings 22 lb 14 oz. Man of the Match, with his 2nd win Colin Stainthorpe (2) - 6 lb 01 oz inc. his 3rd Hfish win 4 lb 08 oz. Colin regains 7th place on the Leader Board from Paul Short. Chairman William Atkinson enjoyed the Aurora show and got his 1st weigh-in for 2016.
Half a dozen members had travelled to Tunstall, East Yorkshire to fish the European Open Beach Championship, and one returned victorious. Congratulations Matthew Garbutt, winner of the European Open Beach Championship 2016. Matthew weighed a cod of 3.240Kg (7 lb 02 oz) on the Saturday and a flat fish on the Sunday to clinch the win, and £6.5k. Ex WSAA member Scott Moore came 4th on the Saturday with a codling of 5 lb 07 oz. Giving him 6th overall and 3rd in the teams.
Results:- 12 codlings 22 lb 14 oz (Av 1 lb 15 oz)

Low water 22.40 hrs 0.3 metres, 1002 mbar, 3°C
Wednesday, rain, sleet, day time temperature in single figures prior to the evenings 3hr match. Throw in a big tide down to low water, which ebbed at a phenomenal rate and the fish catch forecast was never going to be great. Northerly, close to shore sea state which was crystal clear 100 metres from the shore line. Rivers, streams, drains heavily laden with muddy fresh water run off had coloured the water at the shoreline. The ENEasterly moderate cross/onshore wind had eased, as had the rain, thankfully. Nearing 10pm & sleet started to fall.
Despite the poor conditions 11 + 1 Jnr member headed out as just one fish would be good enough for a win / close / extend the gap above / below on the Leader Board. On such a big ebb it was an ideal night to try a mark seldom fished or otherwise overlooked, on the off chance it would produce a good fish, fishing into deeper water on heavy ground at low water. Sadly there were no fish landed but James Moore hooked a lobster, ideal for a photo or two, to show the grandchildren. Invariably only a claw is landed but James was, as always ‘Jamsy’.
Heavy cloud cover made for a dark night save the northerly light pollution from Tees-side. A few pleasure anglers were ‘out & about’, and it was nice to put a face to a name as we chatted. Fish bites, even with fresh baits of lug worm & hermit crab (telpies) were timid, 2 tugs, and no return. Even smaller baits were not enough to tempt smaller fish.
Members were slow to the scales with the extra distance to walk off the widely exposed scaurs. A HFish of 1 lb 06 oz from Denis Thompson was leading until the dying seconds when Ben Laws weighed 1 codling 2 lb 04 oz for his 6th HFish of the season.

No change in positions on the Leader Board bar Denis Thompson and Paul Short closing the gaps to 3 oz & 1 lb respectfully to James Moore & Colin Stainthorpe.
Only 11 fish 9 lb 07 oz the 2nd poorest weigh-in this season with an average weight of only 14 oz. Match average fish weight this season is 1 lb 07 oz, and members are already talking, “the end of the season end cannot come soon enough”, as some pleasure anglers have already packed their gear away. Six matches left and one should not get too despondent, it isn’t over yet
Results:- 11 fish - 9 lb 07 oz (Av 14 oz)
Wednesday, rain, sleet, day time temperature in single figures prior to the evenings 3hr match. Throw in a big tide down to low water, which ebbed at a phenomenal rate and the fish catch forecast was never going to be great. Northerly, close to shore sea state which was crystal clear 100 metres from the shore line. Rivers, streams, drains heavily laden with muddy fresh water run off had coloured the water at the shoreline. The ENEasterly moderate cross/onshore wind had eased, as had the rain, thankfully. Nearing 10pm & sleet started to fall.
Despite the poor conditions 11 + 1 Jnr member headed out as just one fish would be good enough for a win / close / extend the gap above / below on the Leader Board. On such a big ebb it was an ideal night to try a mark seldom fished or otherwise overlooked, on the off chance it would produce a good fish, fishing into deeper water on heavy ground at low water. Sadly there were no fish landed but James Moore hooked a lobster, ideal for a photo or two, to show the grandchildren. Invariably only a claw is landed but James was, as always ‘Jamsy’.
Heavy cloud cover made for a dark night save the northerly light pollution from Tees-side. A few pleasure anglers were ‘out & about’, and it was nice to put a face to a name as we chatted. Fish bites, even with fresh baits of lug worm & hermit crab (telpies) were timid, 2 tugs, and no return. Even smaller baits were not enough to tempt smaller fish.
Members were slow to the scales with the extra distance to walk off the widely exposed scaurs. A HFish of 1 lb 06 oz from Denis Thompson was leading until the dying seconds when Ben Laws weighed 1 codling 2 lb 04 oz for his 6th HFish of the season. Man of the Match Paul Short, his 3rd win 6 whitings 3 lb 14 oz.

William Atkinson - 2 lb 09 oz
High water 19.13 hrs 5.6 metres, 1038 mbar, 4°C
Sunday and the high pressure brought bright weather to North Yorkshire, ideal for the Flying Scotsman’s visit to the NYMRailway. However a flat calm sea state is far from ideal for WSAA members and the 4 hr evening match. Fishing the last hour of flood and 3 hrs down catch forecasts were never going to be high. As the top of tide was reached there was a welcome close to shore swell 1-2ft which dropped off on the ebb. With crystal clear water it was definitely a scratching match for whitings, and flat fish off the sand. Members travelled to Saltburn & Scarborough for an edge on the competition.
With British Summer Time (BST) nearing, Sunday 27th March, the match started in daylight with a beautiful sunset over the Mulgrave Estate, Lythe. A quarter moon had a colourful halo on a clear star lit night. There was no time to get cold, with ‘a bite, a cast’ 2 hook traces were quickly baited up before retrieving the other. Come 9pm, a very cold SSEasterly breeze rolled in, and the temperature dropped to 1°C.
Members were slow to the weigh-in, 13 were at the scales with Bernard & James overseeing. Members are reminded to present clean fish, fish covered in sand or shale will not be accepted.
72 assorted fish weighed-in - 67 whitings, 2 flat fish, 1 rockling, 1 Lesser Spotted Dogfish (LSD), and 1 codling - 45 lb 05 oz. Man of the Match Dave Perrett 14 whitings 8 lb 14 oz. Dave elected to start fishing at 7pm, as darkness fell. Dave reported whilst baiting up his 2nd trace his rod tip was already knocking. Landing 2 size whitings made him think ‘maybe I should have started a 6pm’. Heaviest Fish fell to WSAA Chairman & President William Atkinson 2 lb 09 oz codling. The only mover on the Leader Board was Paul Short up one to 7th.
Presentation night Saturday 16th April at The Stables - Dave Perrett has issued individual menus and asks members to make their selection on it, and return with payment, less their subsidy, before the last match, Wed 30th March.

Paul Short - 2 lb 02½ oz
High water 22.22 hrs 4.4 metres, 1036 mbar, 6°C
High pressure 1036 mbar, dominating the weather, gentle winds, fog & mist early morning and clear skies of late was the same for Wednesday nights 3hr match. The gentle easterly breeze was very mild 6°C even with a clear sky it didn’t feel cold. A bright ¾ moon which didn’t help, late on some thin wispy high level cloud moved it creating a colourful halo. Sea state, for the all flood match, close to shore Easterly swell 1-2ft but crystal clear.
Scratching for whitings, flat fish, and possibly a codling off the sand would give the best chances of a weigh-in with only 4 matches left of the season. Members reported kelp & kelp stalks hampering the fishing right from the start. Paul Short thought he’d hooked a good fish, only to find it was a whiting with 2lb of kelp.
Man of the Match James ‘Jamsy’ Moore with his 2nd win landed 16 whitings 10 lb 06 oz. His ‘bag’ now leads in the HBoFish sweep for March. Paul Short landed the only codling 2 lb 02½ oz to take HFish of the match. Paul opted for a single hook clipped down rig, going for distance. Fish bites were timid, and members found the beach fished at different times as the fish moved along feeding.
At the weigh-in members were definitely split between rock and sand, with those opting for the sand catching the fish. Members were again reminded to present ‘clean’ fish by Bernard & James nee the weigh masters. 67 whitings, 1 billet, 1 flat fish & 1 codling - 43 lb 11 oz - Av 10 oz
The only mover on the Leader Board is new member Dave Ward, up one to 11th.
Members are reminded to hand in their menu choices for presentation night, and to return any trophies for engraving to Dave Perrett.

Rob Allison - 8 lb 13 oz (3)
Low water 20.40 hrs 1.5 metres 1030mbar, 7°C
Penultimate Sunday match of the 2015 - 2016 Season, three matches left, a welcome low water match with potential for a few fish to close/extend the leader board. NNEasterly 3-5ft swell but the biggest drawback was the gin clear water for the 4hr match. A moderate onshore NNWesterly breeze didn’t hamper casting but come 9pm turned colder. Plenty of cloud cover, and no rush to cast in as the match started in daylight.
Sixteen members fished with only 9 bringing fish to the scales. 13 codlings, 6 rocklings and 1 flat fish. The biggest complaint was the lack of colour in the water. The tide had ebbed further than predicted, with constant swells throughout the ebb showing its strength. The flood was quick to return with swell strength increasing bringing a few more fish bites for some. Fish were taking peeler and mussel baits, downsizing both hook sizes and baits proved the best tactic.
Rob Allison, with his 9th win, 3 codlings - 8 lb 13 oz reported catching his fish before low water, and no bites thereafter. Robs lead over 2nd place Ben Laws - 53 lb 11 oz, and only 10 lb shy of the 300 lb mark. HFish of the night fell to Andrew Cass, his 7th to date - 3 lb 10 oz - now 33 lb 10 oz behind Ben. Andrew reported walking miles trying different marks, and should have had 4 fish for his troubles.
Bernard Vasey was ecstatic passing the 100 lb mark with a mop first cast, weighing-in 3 codlings for 6 lb 12 oz, his HFish 3 lb 05 oz also reported snapping another fish off as he chases 10th place, 19 lb behind Peter Horbury. Peter is the only member to have fished all 48 matches and leads as the most consistent angler with 38 weigh-ins.
Rob Allison’s Av fish 2 lb 09 oz leads from Matthew Garbutt & Rich Deadman 2 lb 08 oz with Denis Thompson the only other member with a 2 lb average.
Malcolm Pitman has a 20 fish lead over James Moore for ‘The Peter Sutton Memorial Cup’ for the greatest number of fish - with 190 fish.
Dave Perrett reminds all to return their completed menu selections and payment for presentation night, and to return any trophies for engraving ASAP.

High water 16.03 hrs 5.4 metres, 1020 mbar, 5°C
Wednesday, and the mild weather continues into the 3hr, all ebb, evening match. Question - where to fish? It was going to be a hard night for all, pick a rock mark, and fish the tangle beds, or take a chance there’ll still be some whitings on the sand? Gin clear water I opted for the sand. Low water 22.27 hrs, 0.9 metres it ebbed very quickly, having to constantly move gear 20 yds every 15 min / cast. It was also necessary to move marks due to the sand bars becoming exposed.
The Northerly swell had no strength, and fell away as fast as the ebb. Wind was a light westerly cross wind with plenty of cloud cover which unfortunately thinned come 9pm. By 9.15 hrs there was no cloud cover, and a bright full moon shone. Members remarked the temperature dipped at this time, and turned very chilly.
Despite the unfavourable conditions there was a very good turn-out, 13 seniors and 1 junior were fishing as a couple of pounds could secure, or make a position on the Leader Board. Of those, 11 members presented 31 assorted fish at the scales - 20 lb 06 oz. Dave Perrett with his 5th win of the season caught 7 whitings & 3 flat fish - 5 lb 08 oz. Rob Allison landed the only codling to take HFish 2 lb 02 oz.
Just 2 matches left until close of the 2015 - 2016 Season.
BST starts on Sunday, clocks forward 1 hr.

Double rainbow
Clear skies to the north and a tempest to the south
High water 19.13 hrs, 5.2 metres, 990mbar, 5°C
Penultimate match of the 2015 - 2016 Season and storm Katie was putting a dampener on the Bank Holiday weekend. Members gave the match second thoughts at 16.30 hrs when the skies darkened and torrential rain fell. Come 6pm it was a different world, despite the strong SSWesterly wind 21-35mph.
Sea state was flat calm with colour. Scratching for whiting & flat fish on the beaches would give the best chance of a weigh-in. Fishing the last hour of the flood tide & 3 back, the first 21/4 hrs were bite less and members watched in awe as a double rainbow appeared, stretching from Whitby far out to sea.
British Summer Time (BST), & it didn’t start to get dark until 20.15 hrs and then the whiting started to bite, fresh worm, frozen lug, mackerel strips, refrozen peeler (any old bait will do for a scratching match) and razor fish were all being taken. Plenty of under sized fish, two at a time, felt like one good fish, all returned. Around this time a lightning storm, giving a spectacular show, past directly over Whitby & out to sea. Those members fishing south of Whitby reported get absolutely drench in the storm, whereas Sandsend was dry. With clear skies the temperature soon dropped with added wind chill on wet hands.
Back at the weigh-in members were slow to return having travelled. Of the 14 fishing, only 9 presented fish at the scales. Andrew Cass with his 5th win - 6 whitings - 3 lb 14 oz. With no codling presented to the weigh masters, whiting had to be weighed individually in a search for HFish - 14 oz joint equal Chris McCarthy & Andrew Cass.
The only mover on the Leader Board was Paul Short up one place to 6th. Malcolm Pitman, closing the gap to 8th place Colin Stainthorpe down to 9 oz.
Most Improved Angler - Members are asked to text Secretary Peter Horbury with their choice for this seasons winner (and no, you can’t vote for yourself). Winner to be announced on Presentation night.
Results:- 25 whitings, 6 flat fish 1 rockling - 18 lb 13 oz (Av 9 oz)

Rob Allison crowned Champ
Rob Allison - 9 lb 06 oz (2)
High water 21.12 hrs 4.6 metres, 1009 mbar, 5°C
The season finale, and a welcome, growing NNEasterly swell,
4-6ft with colour. With a gentle, but very cold, 10mph westerly wind and clear skies, members reported one of the coldest matches they had fished. A ½hr before the match started it had hailed, followed by torrential rain, and another double rainbow as the barmy weather continues.
Thirteen, and one Jnr member were fishing, the last 2hrs of flood, and an hour back on a slack tide for the 3hr match. Too heavy for local beaches, members headed to local piers, and cliff marks, with some travelling further afield.
Eight members were at the scales with 18 assorted fish, 8 codlings, 7 whitings, 1 billet, 1 flat fish & 1 rockling 28 lb 11 oz. Man of the match, with his 10th win & breaking the 300 lb marker, this year’s crowned Club Champion, Rob Allison 2 codlings - 9 lb 06 oz. Rob also took HFish - 5 lb 14 oz in both the match & Monthly Sweep, pipping Colin Stainthorpe who had held it all month 4 lb 08 oz from Sun 6th March. James Moore picked up the Monthly HBoFish Sweep 10 lb 06 oz from Wed 16th March (14 fish).
Rob had had an eventful night, asking James Gilpin if he’d moved his bait, only to find a large rat in his bag eating his lug worm and squid. Both Rob’s fish were ‘hung-up’ ½ way through retrieval on an unknown obstruction. Given slack line, and some time to swim off, both fish were landed without further incident.
In March 305 fish were landed for 242 lb 06 oz giving a monthly average fish weight of 13 oz. 40 codlings, 2 billets, 12 rocklings, 23 flat fish, 226 whitings, 1 lesser spotted dogfish, and 1 pouting.
The seasons total - 682 Cod, 1 Bass, 83 Billet, 140 Rockling, 47 Flat Fish, 651 Whiting, 2 Wrasse, 9 Pollock, 2 LSD, 8 Eel, 11 Pouting for an accumulative weight 2,645 lb 03 oz - Av 1 lb 06 oz. Better than last season by 389 lb also with 25 members, with the exception of the 2013/2014 Season 3,053 lb (27 members), one of the better weigh-ins since 1997/1998 season 3,394 lb from 36 members.
