Ground Hog Day for Rob Allison & Mick Chadwick
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. Before the prize giving hot food was provided courtesy of Carla Smith, Fleece, and Paula Pitman, Hook, Line & Sinker.
For the 2nd year in a row Loftus angler & WSAA member Rob Allison was the clear winner with 4 codlings, 1 wrasse for
16 lb. His HFish 4 lb 10 oz.
In 2nd place was Sean Crowe, Scarborough, with 4 codlings for 11 lb 05½ oz £300 sponsored by an amalgamation by
DS & S Thompson’s Diggers, Jefferson’s builders & Hook, Line Sinker.
In 3rd place Mark Smith, Redcar picked up £200 sponsored by our hosts for the evening, the Fleece, Church St, Whitby. Many thanks to landlady Carla Smith & Lee Marchment.
In the HFish Superpool sweep Mick Chadwick, Scarborough, again for the 2nd year in a row, won with a cod of 6 lb 14 oz. Collecting £128, Mick only had the 1 fish and finished 10th overall. Phil Darby, Guisborough weighed the 2nd Heaviest Fish 6 lb 10 oz picked up £64.
The future of angling saw two juniors weigh-in, winner Charlie Crowe 2 codlings 4 lb 03 oz & in 2nd place Shae Smith 1 codling 1 lb 07½ oz. The juniors competition was kindly sponsored by WSAA current & old members Rob Allison, Colin Stainthorpe, James Gilpin, Andrew Cass & George Middlemas - many thanks.
The £50 17th place Special prize, sponsored by Java café’s Ben Laws, would have been won by Grant Greenland but sadly he had left the prize giving early. Prizes - Strictly No 3rd party collection, as indicated on back of ticket. Money returned to Ben Laws.
