Bernard Vasey HF 4 lb 10 oz & HBoF 8 lb 00 oz
Low water 21.37 hrs, 1.6 metres, 1012 mbar, 20°C
For the first match of the 2016 - 2017 Season only, members, new and old, of Whitby Sea Anglers Association met at the Bandstand, Pier Road, Whitby for registration. With an excellent turnout of 22 seniors and 2 juniors, one of the best for a number of years. A group photograph was taken before anglers were permitted to leave at 18.45 hrs for their chosen fishing marks, and start fishing any time after 19.00 hrs. For those unable attend at the Bandstand, due to work commitments, they could not start fishing until 19.30 hrs. It was found a number of years ago that members were 'skipping' the meet at the Bandstand to start fishing at 19.00 hrs. Hence the 19.30 start time.
Weather is/was totally unseasonal, 20°C, clear skies soon clouded over (an Aurora Borealis was seen on the northern skyline), a freshening south westerly wind 24 mph with gusts of 45mph forecast for later in the evening. Finding a sheltered fishable mark would be a challenge, fishing an ebbing tide members would be out on the open exposed scaurs. Sea state was flat calm with localised North westerly swell no more than 1ft, if that. With no colour in the water, no swell and a screaming wind, catch forecast was low.
Match finished at 22.00 hrs, members returned to the weigh-in at the Fleece, Church Street, Whitby no later than 22.30 hrs when the scales closed. Only 12 of the 24 fishing graced the scales with their assorted catch 9 codlings, 6 rocklings, 3 billets, 1 pollock and an eel (returned alive) for 24 lb 09 oz.
For Bernard Vasey it was a repeat of last year when he again won the first match, 3 codlings and a rockling for 8 lb 00 oz. Bernard also had the Heaviest Fish (HF) of the night, a red codling of 4 lb 10 oz caught on his second cast of the evening, after catching a rockling on his first.
After the weigh-in members retired to the hospitality of the Fleece for soup provided by member Paula Pitman of Hook, Line & Sinker. Jason Ebison took entries for the seasons ‘Singles & Doubles Knockout tournaments’ - draw next Wednesday night. Peter Horbury took entries the Heaviest Fish (HF) & Heaviest Bag of Fish (HBoF) (strictly payment in advance) on behalf of Rob Allison who runs the monthly sweeps (£1/£1).

First Sunday match of the 2016 - 2017 Season and members made their way to their chosen marks to start fishing at 18.00 hrs. Low pressure system over Europe brought strong cooler NNEasterly winds and some welcome Northerly swell. With clear skies the temperature soon dropped (7°C) once it got properly dark after 19.30 hrs BST. Come 21.00 hrs and the wind eased slightly as it shifted NEasterly.
The first half decent swell, with plenty of colour, of the season brought its hazards - weed, the summers fresh growth ripped up and brought shore side leading to heavy tackle loses for some. While others reported no weed at all. The all ebb 4 hr match gave members plenty of opportunity to move marks and try to escape the weed. Dave Ward and James Jamsy Moore made such a call mid match and were rewarded for their foresight.
Bernard Vasey was kept busy at the scales as 15 members slowly returned with assorted fish - 19 codlings, 2 eels (returned alive), 2 rocklings, 1 pouting, 1 billet & 1 flat fish, also returned alive. Rob Allison, fishing his first match of the season was back early, weighing in the HF of the night 5 lb 15½ oz. Dave Ward, winning his first match HBoF 3 codlings 10 lb 14 oz. Both Dave & Jamsy Moore reported catching fish at the same time, both weighed 5 lb 05 oz. Overall weigh-in average 2 lb 04 oz. Rob & Dave now lead in the monthly sweeps HF & HBoF for October.
2nd overall Chris McCarthy (Jnr) now in his 3rd year with WSAA fished well last night, out fishing Ben Laws, 3 codlings and a pouting for 8 lb 01 oz.
Well done to new lady’s member Keeley Fairbanks who caught a billet of 14 oz on her first match. Well done also to new junior member Luke Davis 1 flat fish 7 oz gets himself on the Leader Board.
Singles & Doubles knockout draws will take place on Wednesday night after the weigh-in.

Wednesday nights 3 hr match started at high water, with little to no colour in the water, far from ideal. Swell 2-3ft NNEasterly sea, with a strong gusting ESEasterly wind making casting difficult. Clear sky, no moon, made for a good star gazing match as bites were few and far between. Weed again, as Sunday, was a problem. Fine green and purple weed wrapped itself around the line at leader knots, resembling a pipe cleaner when retrieved.
Catch reports from members and pleasure anglers alike were poor, if at all, with many returning home early. Bernard Vasey reported he was the only angler on the end of Whitby west pier which is unusual as normally it is a popular venue over high water.
Members were slow to the scales, only 12 of the 22 fishing landed 21 assorted fish {12 codlings, 5 rocklings, 2 billets, 1 whiting and a pouting for 37 lb 08 oz - Av 1 lb 13 oz} giving Bernard Vasey and James Gilpin plenty of time to scrutinise the catch with only clean, dry fish accepted as Chairman William Atkinson had warned at the AGM.
Man of the Match, Ben Laws, with the only double figure bag of the night. 2 fine codlings 10 lb 11 oz - HF 6 lb 03 oz takes the lead from Rob Allison 5 lb 15½ oz {caught on Sunday gone} for HF of the Month, and Dave Ward still leads in HBoF 10 lb 14 oz.
Ben reported fishing a totally new mark to him and no doubt he will be returning when conditions are similar. Dave Perrett reported snapping off a good fish as he attempted to lift it, on reflection he thinks his braid caught on the cliff edge, for his next fish he moved for a cleaner lift.
After the weigh-in members retired to the Fleece, Church St. for soup provided by Paula Pitman of Hook, Line & Sinker. Later the Knockouts draws were drawn, with Jason Ebison & James Gilpin officiating. There will be a Singles preliminary round next Wednesday 12th Oct, James Gilpin - V - Brian Harland. With the first rounds starting - Singles Wed 19th Oct & Doubles Wed 26th Oct.
Results:- 21 fish - 37 lb 08 oz (Av 1 lb 08 oz)

After a trip to the car boot a check on the sea state 09.30 hrs {HW 09.55 hrs}
1st win for Cassy
High water 21.16 hrs, 4.4 metres, 1034mbar, 12°C
Sunday morning was bright and mild, NEasterly swell 3-5ft, NEasterly moderate onshore wind. The water was green in the sunlight and colourless which didn’t inspire for the evenings 4hr match.
By evening the sea state had dropped off, the swell just didn’t have the momentum to overcome the flood, even on such a small tide. Swell at best was 1-2ft with periods of calm. Virtually cloudless, the sun didn’t set until 18.20hrs, last light 19.00hrs. True darkness never happened as a very bright half-moon rose in the SSEast at 19.30hrs which didn’t help fishing conditions. No reports of weed, with the majority deposited at the HWater mark, already starting to rot. The wind grew in strength, shifted more Northerly, turning much colder.
Lately local catch reports have been very poor. Local crab fisherman are reporting very few codlings in their pots, which is a bad sign. Anglers further north seem to be reporting much better catches with some impressive bags.
Only 16 members returned to the scales with fish. 1st back James ‘Jamsy’ Moore jokingly placed a lobster claw on the pan in an attempt at a weigh-in. A very poor night only 29 assorted fish from 24 members, 12 codlings, 10 rocklings, 4 whitings, 1 billet, 1 flat fish and 1 pouting for 35 lb 11 oz giving an Av. 1 lb 04 oz were weighed. Under sized billets nee bait robbers were reported, forcing members to pack up and change marks.
Man of the match Andrew Cass, plagued with bait robbers, moved and was rewarded with 2 codlings 8 lb 01 oz his first win of the season, reported having difficulty lifting the HF of the night 6 lb 02 oz. Dave Perrett’s run of bad luck continued from Wednesday night. Being fast up with a fish, leant back to free it, only for the line to snap mid rod, placing him firmly on his back in the grass. When this happened a second time a closer inspection of the rod eyes revealed a crack, which was cutting his braid.
Tuesday 11th Oct 19.30hrs Whitby Rifle Club members are asked to attend the Open {Sun 13th Nov} match meeting. Chairman William Atkinson confirmed the 1st Place prize of £500 from Wilf Noble Plant Hire & Construction, Ruswarp. Many thanks James Noble.
Wednesday night the only preliminary round of the Singles K/Outs will be fished between James Gilpin & Brian Harland.
Results:- 35 lb 11 oz (Av 1 lb 04 oz)

Jamsy's no Joker
The weather for Wednesday nights 3hr match was more seasonal, and inclement. Sea state ENEasterly swell 3-4ft with little to no colour. Wind was a moderate Easterly, which brought heavy rain showers throughout the match. The bright moon was masked by the rain clouds, thankfully.
Fish bites were slow and finicky, and the flood brought weed problems, lions tails and heaps of bladder rack leading to tackle loses.
The night was eventful - 8pm for one member at Saltwick Bay could see the arrival of ‘Blues & Twos’ from his mark on the South Batts, not realising it was for him. Ten minutes later he was approached by 3 HM Coastguards. Enquiring if he was Ok. Apparently a concerned member of the public at the caravan site had phoned in seeing a light moving about on the shore line.
Another member, walking onto the South Batts, met the HM Coastguards returning to their vehicle(s) was asked what he was doing - fishing he replied.
WSAA, being safety conscious, members must register their phone numbers and car registrations. Members must ‘text in’ or send word to the weigh-in at the end of a match if they are not returning to the scales. Thereafter we start ringing as to their safety & whereabouts.
Twenty two members fishing and only 12 managed a meagre weigh-in, 30 fish for 49 lb 05 oz - 22 codlings, 7 rocklings, and an eel {returned alive}. Overall a poor night.
Man of the match, and not playing the joker, James ‘Jamsy’ Moore placed 5 codlings in the weigh pan for 12 lb 11 oz, the only double figure bag. His HF of 4 lb 05½ oz was not enough to stop Matty Lamb claiming HF of the night, if only by a ½ oz - 4 lb 06 oz. James now leads the monthly HBoF sweep from Dave Ward 10 lb 14 oz set on Sunday 2nd Oct.
In the preliminary round of the Singles K/Outs both James Gilpin & Brian Harland had fish. But Brian’s nephew had inadvertently locked both the fish & his van keys in the van as they changed {Hot contender for Memorable Moment Trophy}.
James brought Stuart back to Whitby to collect his car, so he could return with the spare van keys. James, once at the weigh-in was reluctant to weigh his fish and beat Brian in the K/O’s although it wasn’t Brian’s fault he was to miss the weigh-in. James did weigh-in, and being the perfect gentleman, it was suggested they both re-fish the match on Sunday. Jason Ebison, K/O organiser, was informed of the re-match.
Results:- 30 fish - 49 lb 05 oz (Av 1 lb 10 oz)

Low water 23.39 hrs, 0.6 metres, 1012mbar, 13°C
Since Wednesday the welcome sea state had continued for Sunday nights 4hr evening match, all ebb, and plenty of colour in the water. NEasterly swell 4-5ft moving SSEasterly (as the low pressure system moved), slowly decreasing in strength and at times surging as the swell was stronger than the ebb. Wind was a mild gentle SSEasterly 13°C on a clear night. The exceptionally bright Harvest moon rose above the cloud on the horizon just after 7pm which did not help.
High water matches are not everyone’s favourite, especially on such a big tide. Cliff marks brought problems for some as weed was drawn into gulley’s, while others had a clear run all night.
Another good turnout 21 members fishing with 13 returning to the scales 18 codlings, 5 rocklings & 3 billets for 58 lb 15 oz. Predominantly codlings of a better stamp graced the scales.
Man of the Match Colin Stainthorpe with his first win 4 codlings for 9 lb 05 oz. Brian Harland pipped by 1 oz from Ben Laws for HF of the night 5 lb 09 oz.
Another change at the top of the Leader Board, Denis Thompson 2 oz ahead of Rob Allison who weighed-in the 3rd HF of the night 4 lb 05 oz. Denis, along with new member Danny Middlemas are the only 2 members to have weighed-in in all 6 matches. In order to stay competitive members aim to catch an average of
5 lb/match for the 50 match season.
Paul Short, yet to weigh-in a codling, lost a fish estimated at over 6 lb as Peter Horbury lifted it for him from their cliff mark. The fish was not well hooked and fell onto a ledge, where it remained for ½hr. It is thought the fish flapped and wriggled off the ledge back into the water. Paul did search the area where the fish had laid when the tide had ebbed back far enough for access.
In the Singles K/Out James Gilpin goes through to the next round as Brian Harland conceded he missed the weigh-in on Wednesday.

1st for Beedle as Bernard keeps finding 'em
Bernard Vasey - 5 lb 05 oz
High water 19.05 hrs, 5.7 metres, 1022 mbar, 12°C
Tuesday afternoon and the sea state resembled a highly polished Venetian mirror. Overnight strong northerly winds whipped up 3-4ft surface swell, slowly developing into deeper regular swells with plenty of colour for Wednesday nights match. The northerly wind was strong, and gusting, members sought a sheltered mark, fishing HW and 3 hrs back. Heavy cloud cover shielded the moons rise at 8pm, heavy rain showers tested coats and waders but the evening was very very mild at 12°C.
Weed was a problem, not lions tails of kelp but Corallina, a pink coral like seaweed & Ulva species, a bright green, delicate, lettuce like fronds. Just a small amount of this caught on leader knots, swivels and hooks was enough to give anglers problems.
Twenty five members were fishing, many in Round 1 of the Singles K/Outs. Fourteen members slowly returned to the scales with only 24 assorted fish, and tales of woe, for 52 lb 14 oz giving the best Av. fish of the season at 2 lb 05 oz.
Man of the Match, with his first weigh-in, Mick Beedle 3 codlings 9 lb 07 oz inc. one of 5 lb 02 oz. Not enough to beat Bernard Vasey for the nights HF - 5 lb 05 oz. Bernard 3rd (3) 8 lb 09 oz. Paul Short was all smiles weighing his first codling of the season 3 lb 08 oz {2nd out of the water, 1st one to reach the scales}.
James Gilpin, 2nd with 3 codlings, reported leaving a much bigger fish than his total weigh-in 8 lb 12 oz in the rocks, he just could not budge it, despite trying different positions and giving it time, and slack line to pull free.
Ben Laws has announced Bass Boots will be sponsoring the Heaviest Fish sweep in our annual Open Sunday 13th November. The winner will receive a bespoke, made to measure pair of chest waders.

Tuesday afternoon and the sea state resembled a highly polished Venetian mirror. Overnight strong northerly winds whipped up 3-4ft surface swell, slowly developing into deeper regular swells with plenty of colour for Wednesday nights match. The northerly wind was strong, and gusting, members sought a sheltered mark, fishing HW and 3 hrs back. Heavy cloud cover shielded the moons rise at 8pm, heavy rain showers tested coats and waders but the evening was very very mild at 12°C.

High water 22.57 hrs, 4.5 metres 1016mbar, 8°C
Penultimate Sunday match for October, next Sunday 30th Oct Filey Open. NEasterly swell 4-6ft but little to no colour, despite this sea having been running since Wednesday. Wind was strong to moderate ENEasterly, mild 8°C, with no rain during the 4 hrs match.
Slight cloud cover, with little to no moon light, as the match progressed the skies cleared. Weed continued to be a big problem, with very few finding a clear mark. Many switched marks mid match, only to find more weed.
Another good turnout saw 24 seniors and 2 juniors fishing, 13 of whom returned to the scales - 22 codlings, 3 billets, 3 rocklings and an eel (returned alive) for 57 lb 13 oz, a 2 lb average.
Man of the match, and now top of the Leader Board Matty Lamb. Matty was one of two members to achieve a double figure bag, 6 codlings for 16 lb 11 oz which now leads in the HBoF monthly sweep. Matty also took HF of the night at 5 lb 01½ oz. Second place Rob Allison 5 codlings, a rockling for 12 lb 13 oz, Rob’s HF 3 lb 09½ oz
Junior Chris McCarthy, having had a poor run of late caught his HF of the season 4 lb 01 oz, and stakes a claim on the Junior HF trophy. Well done to Chris who on Saturday evening caught a spragg of 7 lb

Half term and feels like a summers day
Denis Thompson - 4 lb 05 oz
Low water 20.26 hrs, 2.0 metres, 1029 mbar, 12°C
Flat calm sea state, totally unseasonal weather, local beaches being the choice for those enjoying their half term holiday on what looked like a bright summers day. Less than 1ft NEasterly swell, crystal clear water and a fresh offshore SWesterly wind, a barmy 12°C for the 3hr evening match - far from ideal!!
A scratching match it was for the Doubles Knockouts, fishing 1½ hrs either side of low water on a very slack tide. Anything for a weigh-in saw members travelling and walking to remote rarely fished marks in the hope of picking up a red codling (or two). Cloud cover was sparse and Chairman William Atkinson reported watching the Aurora Borealis nee Northern Lights.
Twenty six seniors, 2 juniors fishing with only 10 at the scales with 12 assorted fish for 19 lb 01 oz - the worst weigh-in to date. 5 codlings, 3 rocklings, 2 whitings, 1 billet and a flat fish. Man of the Match Micky Bowman, with his first win of the season found 2 codlings for 6 lb 14 oz (36% of the total weigh-in). 3 lb 08 oz & 3 lb 06 oz
Denis Thompson recounted fishing a mark he would otherwise have walked past and dismissed on any other night. But on this occasion he threw caution to the wind and fancied a chuck. On his 1st cast landed a codling of 4 lb 05 oz, smiling from ear to ear fished the entire match there.
Yet another change at the top of the Leader Board, Rob Allison takes top spot from Sunday’s leader Matty Lamb by 1 lb 07 oz. Micky Bowman’s win sees him now up to 9th from 11th.
Sunday 30th Oct is Filey Open 9-2pm weigh-in at the snooker club, Filey, WSAA evening match as normal.
Members are reminded to take their Open raffle prizes to Paula Pitman in Hook, Line & Sinker - thank you.

Low water 21.58 hrs, 1.2 metres, 1029 mbar, 10°C
Unseasonally mild weather continues, 10°C, high pressure and some long distance, decreasing Northerly swell 2-3ft for Sunday nights 4 hr match. The swell was just strong enough to overcome the strong ebb. Now in GMT it was dark before 6pm, low cloud and some mist shielded the moon light. Colour varied from mark to mark, crystal clear, through milky to thick and no reports of weed. Wind, a gentle SSWesterly offshore wasn’t a problem as the land mass gave shelter for members chasing a fast ebbing tide onto the open scaurs to fish the thick tangle beds.
Twenty three members, & 2 juniors were fishing, and Bernard Vasey was kept busy at the scales, 45 assorted fish from 16 successful members - 23 codlings, 13 rocklings, 6 billets, 2 poutings, 1 flat fish. Bernard weighed each HF until reports came back of better fish en-route.
For the 2nd Sunday in a row, Matty Lamb - Man of the Match, weighing one of the nights two double figure bags. His a respectful 9 fish for 21 lb 08 oz. Brian Harland weighed the other, having the HF of the night 5 lb 07½ oz from his bag of 5 fish for 15 lb 12 oz. Brian reported he had been all over, run himself ragged, having a cast here, a cast there in search of fish.
Matty had 4 fish before 7pm, lost one of about 5 lb. Keeping on the move mid match found himself fishing a flat calm mark, with a run of white water either side, thinking ‘there’ll be no fish here’, when his rod was nearly pulled out of his hand.
Similarly Ben Laws reported a bite which kept pulling his rod over in his stand, fast up, he gave it slack, pulled free. On retrieval, felt it was a really good fish from its fight, telling Chris McCarthy to be ready to aid landing, only to be 3 lb 06 oz.
Matty tops the Leader Board - now 18 lb 12 oz ahead of joint 2nd places Rob Allison & Denis Thompson. During October both Matty & Rob have weighed 23 fish, Denis has landed 25 fish, best Av Ben Laws 2 lb 12 oz

Unseasonally mild weather continues, 10°C, high pressure and some long distance, decreasing Northerly swell 2-3ft for Sunday nights 4 hr match. The swell was just strong enough to overcome the strong ebb. Now in GMT it was dark before 6pm, low cloud and some mist shielded the moon light. Colour varied from mark to mark, crystal clear, through milky to thick and no reports of weed. Wind, a gentle SSWesterly offshore wasn’t a problem as the land mass gave shelter for members chasing a fast ebbing tide onto the open scaurs to fish the thick tangle beds.
Twenty three members, & 2 juniors were fishing, and Bernard Vasey was kept busy at the scales, 45 assorted fish from 16 successful members - 23 codlings, 13 rocklings, 6 billets, 2 poutings, 1 flat fish. Bernard weighed each HF until reports came back of better fish en-route.
For the 2nd Sunday in a row, Matty Lamb - Man of the Match, weighing one of the nights two double figure bags. His a respectful 9 fish for 21 lb 08 oz. Brian Harland weighed the other, having the HF of the night 5 lb 07½ oz from his bag of 5 fish for 15 lb 12 oz. Brian reported he had been all over, run himself ragged, having a cast here, a cast there in search of fish.
Matty had 4 fish before 7pm, lost one of about 5 lb. Keeping on the move mid match found himself fishing a flat calm mark, with a run of white water either side, thinking ‘there’ll be no fish here’, when his rod was nearly pulled out of his hand.
Similarly Ben Laws reported a bite which kept pulling his rod over in his stand, fast up, he gave it slack, pulled free. On retrieval, felt it was a really good fish from its fight, telling Chris McCarthy to be ready to aid landing, only to be 3 lb 06 oz.
Matty tops the Leader Board - now 18 lb 12 oz ahead of joint 2nd places Rob Allison & Denis Thompson. During October both Matty & Rob have weighed 23 fish, Denis has landed 25 fish, best Av Ben Laws 2 lb 12 oz

A chilly Sandsend beach 15.00hrs
Denis Tromps 'em for 36
Peter Horbury - 5 lb 12 oz
Low water 23.34 hrs, 1.2 metres, 1026 mbar, 3°C
Ideal fishing conditions for Wednesday nights 3 hr match and enthusiasm was high with members leaving early for their chosen marks. A decreasing Northerly swell 5-8ft with colour on an ebbing tide for 24 seniors & 2 juniors. The first cold WNWesterly wind 3°C, 13-17mph didn’t give any problems with casting nor bite detection. Clear skies, no cloud cover and thankfully no moon light.
However weed was another story, reports of large drifts deposited on Runswick beach. No longer the fine weeds of late, but heavy kelp storks and bladder rack which gave members no end of trouble with tackle loses. Despite quick retrieval of slack line after casting and holding rods at chest height the weed still fouled end tackle. As the tide ebbed weed got worse as it was drawn into gulleys on the now opening up scaurs.
Weigh-in, don’t think I have ever seen so many members gathered at the scales with fish bags waiting their turn at the scales. As I arrived James Gilpin was just counting Denis Thompsons’ 7th fish on the pan, topping off at 10 codlings for an eye watering 36 lb 06 oz. Denis said he’d not caught his 1st fish until 8pm, (Av fish 3 lb 06 oz). Bernard & James were kept busy right up to time (10.30pm).
Checking the WSAA Records Brian Harland holds the current record HBoF - 40 lb 07 oz for a Wednesday night 3 hr match on 14th Nov 2007. Ian Russell holds the Sunday 4 hr record 43 lb 11 oz on 8th Dec 1985 which included a fish of 14 lb 14 oz. Denis does hold 2 other HBoF records for 6 hr matches - Sun 9th Dec 1984 Cloughton Open 48 lb 07 oz & 44 lb 13 oz on 14th November 1999 in our WSAA annual Open.
Matty Lamb reported having 4 codlings before 8pm. Some better fish about Rob Allison 5 lb 02 oz, Denis Thompson 5 lb 07 oz, Peter Horbury 5 lb 12 oz and HF R Cope 6 lb 05 oz.

All smiles after adversity for Deadman
Rich Deadman - 4 lb 09 oz
High water 19.47 hrs, 4.7 metres, 1013mbar, 8°C
A low pressure weather system, slowly moving south on the west coast of Europe brought strong northerly winds and whipped up more than some welcome swell. NEasterly swells of 9+ft were far too heavy for many a local mark and some members preferred ‘sofa hole’ to fishing, but still 19 + 2 Jnrs fished the 4hr match. Strong gusting NEasterly wind with intermittent squalls made casting a challenge.
Having chosen a mark we watched the anglers already fishing, slowly one by one they started to pull in strings of weed as the sea surged on the flood. Undeterred a nearby mark was chosen only to be thwarted by heavy kelp stalks forcing a change of mark. Back at the car other anglers were arriving, also in search of a weedless mark, reporting heavy weed on the Whitby west pier. Overall anglers spent more time switching marks than actually fishing.
Rich Deadman’s night didn’t start well, the wind blew over his rod rest which shattered on the concrete. Later, having moved to a cliff mark his luck improved temporarily. Feeling his grip lead bounce on the scaur prepared to strike what felt like a rockling bite. On retrieval there was no indication it was a cod until he started to lift it from the swell. His reels’ cogs screamed and striped, leaving the fish suspended just above the water. Peter Horbury came to his aid, took hold of the line, one ring up from the reel, and walked back pulling the line & fish cleanly up throw the rod eyes.
The weigh-in was short & brisk, only 10 fish weighed-in by Bernard & James - 9 codlings and a rockling for 31 lb 12 oz (Av 3 lb 03 oz) from 6 members. Man of the Match Rob Allison, with his first win of the season 2 codlings and a rockling - 10 lb 07 oz. Rob also had the HF of the night 5 lb 08 oz - his second HF win to date. Members reported heavy going, surging, and white outs which continued all match even on the ebb. Heavy seas of late have striped beaches of high water sand banks revealing heavy going slippery shale slate and rocks.
Matty Lamb regains the lead of the Leader Board, yet again, taking top spot from Wednesday’s leader Denis Thompson by
2 lb 01 oz. 3rd place Rob trails Denis by 13 lb 12 oz but extends his lead to 4th place Ben Laws to 20 lb 06 oz.

Matty Lamb - 11 lb 09 oz (2)
Low water 17.08 hrs, 2.3 metres, 1000 mbar, 0°C
Sea state had slowly been dropping off since Sunday to a steady NEasterly swell 2-4ft. Colour had slowly been dropping out all day with little to no colour come 7pm. A gentle WNWesterly wind didn’t interfere with casting nor bite detection. A bright ½ moon made appearances through-out the 3hr match as thin clouds past overhead. Day time temperature had been 4°C but dropped to one of the coldest nights this season 0°C with some patches of frost.
An afternoon dog walk found Sandsend beach littered at the HWater mark from end to end with drifts of kelp stalks, now half buried in the sand. These will be lifted as soon as this month’s tides increase in height. Some members did fish the beach with reports of some cod & bass now ‘on the sand’ the night before, it was worth a chuck, only to find under sized whiting & billets.
Overall not a favourable tide to fish, the flood was already 2 hrs in. The all flood match, on a very slack tide, members were limited to marks. Too small to reach favourite LW marks and cut off points would force too many moves over higher rougher ground. Twenty seniors + 2 juniors were ‘out and about’ with the semi-finals of the Singles K/outs taking place.
Please note, a local mark know as Horses Head, there has been a massive cliff fall.
Members were slow to the scales except for Matty Lamb who was 2nd after Bernard Vasey had set them up. Matty weighed-in the only double figure bag 2 codlings 11 lb 09 oz. Matty won his 3rd match with both HBoF & HF 6 lb 04 oz. Of the 13 matches to date we have had 11 different winners with Matty winning 3 of the 13. Matty’s lead over 2nd Denis Thompson now 12 lb 13 oz
Singles K/Outs results:-
Matty Lamb 11 lb 09 oz (2) beat Paul Short 2 lb 03 oz (3)
Andrew Cass 6 lb 07 oz (2) beat Dave Perrett 0 lb 00 oz (0)

8am Sandsend beach en-route to my chosen mark.
Low water 08.41 hrs, 0.7 metres, 1027 mbar, 10°C
Pollock tops it for Hillaby
An excellent turnout, one hundred and eighteen senior anglers, one lady and three juniors fished the 37th Annual Open run by Whitby Sea Anglers Association. The 6hr match started at 10am and finished at 4pm with competitors fishing within the boundaries of Coble Landing, Filey to Skinningrove Beck.
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 sponsor Paula Pitman, of Hook Line & Sinker, Church Street, Whitby, along with WSAA President & Chairman William Atkinson shared the duties to give out the prizes from a groaning prize table. Many thanks to all our sponsors.
Sunday morning was bright and sunny, a growing, ‘close to shore’, as opposed to ‘long distance’ sea state NWesterly swell with plenty of colour. The all flood match started 1 hr 20 mins after low water. The wind had changed from a SWesterly overnight to a light, cold, NWesterly wind 10mph, not strong enough to cause any problems. The last hour however was spoilt as cloud cover moved in leading to light rain.
The weigh-in was held at sponsors, The Fleece, Church Street, Whitby 16.30 - 17.15 hrs, overseen by Chairman William Atkinson, and weigh masters Bernard Vasey & James Gilpin. Thirty eight competitors returned with 85 assorted fish - 49 codlings, 19 wrasse, 12 billets, 2 pollock, 2 flat fish and 1 blegg/pouting for 194 lb 04 oz
Overall winner was Matty Hillaby, Scarborough, who also had the Heaviest Fish, a pollock 11 lb 00½ oz along with 5 billets taking 1st Place with a total bag weight of 15 lb 12 oz. Matty reported catching his pollock from his favourite mark at 14.45 hrs.
The second Heaviest Fish, also a pollock was landed by ex WSAA member Dave Smith, Whitby, 7 lb 12½ oz. Dave finished 5th overall with 8 lb 13 oz.
Third Place prize of £200 was shared by the two Andy’s, Clarke & Tymen with an additional £70 from the table.
Bass Boots sponsored the Heaviest Fish sweep and the winner Matty Hillaby receives a bespoke pair of chest waders. Many thanks to Malcolm Scallion.
In the optional pairs - ‘all in, all out Pairs’ Matty Hillaby and Pete Dunn won with a total bag weight of 24 lb 01½ oz.
17th place Special Prize from Java café was shared by the Damien Townsend, Whitby & P Johnson - £50 + £20 from the table.
Flat Fish competition sponsored by Mick Beedle, Builder, 2 prizes of £50 & £25 for the Heaviest and runner up. This was won by WSAA Secretary Peter Horbury, a flounder of 1 lb 01 oz. Runner-up Peter Major picked up £25 and also the Special prize of £25 for coming last in the event.
Many thanks to ex WSAA member Jimmy Hewitson for being on hand to take photographs.

Denis back in top spot
Low water 23.24 hrs, 0.5 metres, 1005 mbar, 5°C
Sea state had been calm since Sunday, but with a Westerly wind and low pressure there was a growing NWesterly swell which was strong enough to overcome the fast ebbing tide for Wednesday nights 3 hr match. The wind slowly shifted WNWest 22mph with gusts of 30mph, which made the 5°C feel a lot colder.
The ‘super moon’ from Monday night was no longer full, but high in the clear skies, very bright and along with the crystal clear waters did not bode well for fish bites. No reports of kelp/weed problems except for fine purple/red Corallina species.
Some members elected to travel to deep water tidal marks while others started on cliff marks and moved onto the open scaurs mid match to fish the tangle beds.
Of the 24 fishing only 10 managed a weigh-in, 21 assorted fish of 7 codlings, 6 billets, 6 rocklings and 2 whitings - 25 lb 05 oz giving a poor average 1 lb 03 oz.
Man of the Match, for the 2nd time this month, Denis Thompson 4 codlings 9 lb 01 oz, his best fish 2 lb 11½ oz & 3 lb 00½ oz were not good enough to beat Andrew Cass for HF of the night
3 lb 04½ oz which he reported catching on his 1st cast of the night. Andrew’s 1st HF win for November and 2nd for the season.
Denis’ win gives him top spot on the Leader Board by 1 lb 01 oz from Matty Lamb, Matty was unable to fish Sundays Open due to work and didn’t weigh-in tonight. In just 2 matches Denis has weighed 13 lb 14 oz, and is not looking forward to Sundays match if the forecasted low pressure and constant rain arrives.
Neither of the Doubles K/O’s matches took place due to prior commitments (work & holiday). The last Singles K/O match between Colin Stainthorpe & James Gilpin, prior to the Semi-Finals on Wednesday 23rd Nov will be fished on Sunday or the toss of a coin will determine the winner if no result.
Top tip - don’t forget your bait scissors, & carry a spare pair.
Results:- 21 fish - 25 lb 05 oz (Av 1 lb 03 oz)

High water 20.18 hrs, 4.9 metres, 993 mbar, 5°C
Chris McCarthy (Jnr) Doubles HBoF record
Angus, the first storm to be named by the Met Office this winter. Low pressure (anti clock winds) whose centre was over Plymouth, moving west up the Channel, made for Northerly swell 3-5ft and NWesterly winds 10-16mph in Whitby. Rain was forecasted for the whole 4hr match, and thankfully after a heavy downpour at 17.10hrs the skies cleared and only light rain fell. By the end of the match the wind had eased and the temperature had dropped to just above zero, but no frost.
Despite the forecast of heavy rain, 20 members fished the 4hr evening match with some surprising results. The conditions were ideal for all, yet some hadn’t a bite all night while others ‘bagged up’. No less than 4 double figure bags graced the scales for the 2nd best weigh-in for November 29 fish 99 lb 10 oz compared to 144 lb 10 oz Wed 2nd Nov. when 29 fished. 29 fish, predominantly codlings 27, a billet, and a rockling.
Man of the Match Denis Thompson 19 lb 09 oz 5 codlings, his best fish 5 lb 04 oz & 5 lb 02 oz. Denis’ lead now stands at 17 lb 07 oz from Matty Lamb, which, give an ounce or two is the same for the individual top 5 members (separated by 17 lb each). Denis is the first member to pass the 100 lb marker.
Last to the scales, with seconds to spare, the surprise of the night, and a new WSAA Junior record. Chris McCarthy placed 5 codlings, a rockling on the scales for 18 lb 03 oz, his HF 5 lb 11 oz. Chris fished with his cousin, who had a 7 lb cod sadly he isn’t a WSAA member. Bernard weighed it for his personal record. Well done Chris, now 10th on the Leader Board.
HF of the night fell to Brian Harland, 7 lb 06 oz, his 2nd HF win this season, pipping Danny Middlemas by 3 oz - 7 lb 03 oz to top spot. Brian’s fish now leads in the Monthly Sweep, with 2 matches left for November. Also taking the HF of the season from Ben Laws weighing 6 lb 03 oz back on Wed 5th October.
Consequently Chris McCarthy & Colin Stainthorpe are now in the Doubles K/Out final, having beaten Stuart Swales & Andrew Cass 26 lb 09 oz (8) to 5 lb 04 oz (3).

2nd's for Colin
Colin Stainthorpe - 5 lb 09½ oz
Low water 17.44 hrs, 2.4 metres, 1025 mbar, 7°C
Storm Angus has past and high pressure off the UK west coast brought brighter drier weather to the north east coast. The Northerly swell 4-7ft was slowly dying away and at times during the all flood match was too weak to keep pace, leading to periods of calm followed by white water. With all the rain of late one would have expected plenty of colour but that wasn’t the case. NEasterly wind 12-17mph had a chill about it, easing throughout the 3hr match. Plenty of cloud cover made for a dark night. Some weed was evident in the surf as high water approached but nothing of significance.
‘When the winds in the east, the fish bite the least’ Bernard Vasey reminded everyone as only 13 members of 24, returned to the scales with 27 assorted fish - 16 codlings, 7 billets, 3 rocklings and 2 poutings. 46 lb 12 oz the 3rd best weigh-in for November with two matches left.
Man of the Match Colin Stainthorpe, his 2nd win, 2 codlings, the only double figure bag 10 lb 03 oz & his 2nd HF win 5 lb 09½ oz.
Matty Lamb, second member to pass the 100 lb marker, is slowly closing the gap to Leader Denis Thompson, which now stands at 11 lb 13 oz meanwhile the other top 4 have deficits of over 20 lb.

Brian Harland - HF 9 lb 03½ oz

Low water 20.57 hrs, 1.6 metres, 1031 mbar, 8°C
Penultimate match for November, a bright start to the day, high pressure to the NWest of the UK. On the NEast coast moderate NEasterly winds from Norway lead to a growing NNEasterly sea 4-6ft. A lot of surface blash but with long distance swells showing as the day progressed. Come 6pm some marks were too heavy, but with 3hrs of ebb to go before low water 9pm, the swell was to be knocked back and members relied on this local knowledge, and cut off points to put it to good use.
Colour varied from mark to mark, but generally very little due to the late growing sea, and thankfully no moon light, with heavy cloud cover made for another dark nights fishing for the 20 members. Swells were consistent with no surging and no reported weed problems.
14 members were slow to the scales and one image stuck out as Brian Harland approached from across the car park clutching two swollen bin liners. Methodically Brian placed his 1st codling in the pan 6 lb 10 oz, the 2nd of similar weight, the 3rd had to be weighed separately 9 lb 03½ oz. Balancing all 4 codlings in the pan, total bag 27 lb 03 oz (4) giving an Av 6 lb 13 oz/fish. Brian’s HF now leads in November Sweep & HF of the season to date.
Nice to see a better stamp of fish at the scales as we pass the 1,000 lb marker (486 fish), and hopefully it will not be long before a member weighs-in a 10 lb+ fish. Tight lines.
Five other members weighed double figure bags, for the best weigh-in of the season to date.
Colin Stainthorpe (8), Bernard Vasey (4), Matty Lamb (4), Rob Allison (4) & Denis Thompson (3).
Overall tonight’s Av. Fish - 3 lb 03 oz

HBoFish & HFish Bernard's 2nd win
Bernard Vasey - 6 lb 04 oz
Low water 22.42 hrs, 1.2 metres, 1030 mbar, 7°C
Last match for November 2016 and high pressure is still with us bringing dry, mild weather. A NWesterly cross / onshore wind 18 mph wind had been picking up all day creating some NWesterly close to shore swell. Unfortunately too late for the 3hr evening match as it was not strong enough to overcome the all ebb match. Clear skies, no moonlight with very little colour bar some milkiness did not improve the conditions.
It was definitely a scratching match, with no reports of whiting on the beaches yet, coupled with piles of weed on Sandsend beach members had to travel further afield. Setting off in plenty of time to walk the high water line to reach heavy ground in search of a tangle fish or two, was an option for some. Piers, for billets and flat fish were popular to maintain that ‘5 lb/match Average’ to stay competitive. Fresh mussel & lug worm being the preferred baits with peeler for a cocktail.
Members were extremely slow to the scales but surprisingly there were some nice fish weighed. Billets were scrutinised for size by James & Bernard, as they are the worst for shrinking. Many undersized codlings were caught (& returned) on the piers, a good sign for next season. 22 assorted fish - 31 lb 03 oz comprising 8 rocklings, 8 billets, 4 codlings, 1 flat fish & 1 whiting.
Man of the Match, Bernard Vasey, with his 2nd win took both HBoF & HF with a single codling of 6 lb 04 oz. Both Dave Ward & Peter Horbury had codlings of 4 lb 07 oz & 4 lb 04 oz respectfully.

1st win for Paul
High water 18.44 hrs, 5.1 metres, 1033 mbar, 3°C
A long day for those of us who fished the Cloughton Open 10-4pm (HFish match) & the 4hr evening match. The weak sea state was fighting the wind and the ebb, leading to intermittent Northerly swell 2ft, i.e. a set of 4 good swells followed by calm. There was also the occasional SEasterly cross swell.
Plenty of colour in the water but fish bites were few & far between. Plenty of rocklings during the day. The SEasterly cross wind was cold, heavy cloud cover and thankfully no rain forecast. These conditions continued into the evening match.
Fishing the last hour of flood HW 18.44 hrs, 21 members took to the local piers and cliff marks with many chancing the beaches for whiting and the chance of a codling or two. No reports of any weed, just the cold cross wind, probably one of the coldest nights fishing this season. The skies clearing around 9pm and the temperature dropped further nudging zero. Come 11pm and a frost was forming on the cars.
Man of the Match Paul Kilpatrick, with his first win, had a very mixed bag - 7 lb 11 oz. 2 billets, 1 rockling, 1 whiting and the only codling to be weighed-in, a billet of 2 lb 08 took HF of the match. Both have set the bench mark for the monthly Sweeps. 12 members returned to the scales weighing-in 30 assorted fish. 13 billets, 9 rocklings, 7 whitings and 1 codling - 27 lb 04 oz
Only 6 matches in December, before the Christmas break. Members are reminded to pay their £12 entrance fee for the Christmas match Sunday 18th December ASAP so numbers can be confirmed at The Stakesby Arms.

A very windy afternoon dog walk 14.00 hrs.
2nd win a row for Paul
High water 21.23 hrs, 4.8 metres, 1020 mbar, 12°C
The unseasonal weather continues, strong SWesterly winds knocked back the long distance Northerly swell. Consequently the sea state was flat calm with some colour from recent rainfall. Temperatures back up into double figures 12°C. It was to be a hard match for all, a scratching match, flooding up & over high water on a slack tide. Piers & cliff marks would be too exposed to the wind, forecasted at 20mph with gusts up to 36mph. Sandsend beach was a very popular venue, fishing for whitings, flat fish, and in hope of also picking up any stray codlings.
Things were slow for Paul Dryden unable to do any star gazing took to texting me and forecasting rain at 21.30hrs.
Fishing to my left Jason Ebison, 1 whiting 1st cast, 25 yds to my right Brian Harland, nothing to weigh-in yet 25 yds to his right Matty Lamb picks up 6 whitings. I caught 2 codlings 4” & 6”, both returned, that’s fishing. Despite trying different cast lengths, fresh worm & mackerel strips, 2 hook traces and 4 casts an hour whiting were scarce, reflected in the overall weigh-in. Twenty five members fishing, of which only 13 had fish to weigh-in. Chairman William Atkinson had the only codling.
Man of the Match, for the second match in a row, Paul Kilpatrick. 3 billets & a whiting 4 lb 09 oz, also HFish 1 lb 15 oz. Thirteen members weighed-in 30 fish for a very poor 19 lb 13 oz giving an Av 11 oz/fish. Hopefully things will pick up, and some proper seasonal weather arrives. The season’s average fish is also slowly dropping, 2 lb 01 oz on Sunday to 1 lb 15 oz after last night, as more whitings are brought to the scales.
An anomaly & amendment from Sundays match. Paul Kilpatrick had 2 billets, 1 codling, 1 whiting & 1 rockling for 7 b 11 oz. He also had the HFish of the night @ 2 lb 08 oz, one would assume the HF was ‘the codling’ but Bernard Vasey pointed out it was in fact a billet. In future the weigh slip will include an ID to the HF weight i.e. ‘C’ or ‘B’ etc. (Sundays report above ammended accordingly)

An anomaly & amendment from Sundays match. Paul Kilpatrick had 2 billets, 1 codling, 1 whiting & 1 rockling for 7 b 11 oz. He also had the HFish of the night @ 2 lb 08 oz, one would assume the HF was ‘the codling’ but Bernard Vasey pointed out it was in fact a billet. In future the weigh slip will include an ID to the HF weight i.e. ‘C’ or ‘B’ etc. (Sundays report above ammended accordingly)

Low water 19.51 hrs, 1.4 metres, 1022 mbar, 8°C
The mild un-seasonal weather continued for Sunday nights 4 hr evening match. Fishing 2 hrs either side of low water. There was some intermittent NWesterly swell (2ft at best) as the tide ebbed to low water, which picked up into a rhythm once the flood took hold. Water was coloured but a near full moon shone brightly on a cloudless night. The Westerly wind was strong, hampering casting, and pulling bowed lines and end tackle into snags.
Of the 20 members fishing 11 returned to the scales with 19 assorted fish - 7 codlings, 9 rocklings, 1 billet and 2 lesser spotted dogfish (LSD’s) Decembers best weigh-in to date 34 lb 03 oz James Moore landed both LSD’s, caught over low water on consecutive casts.
Well done & congratulations to new member Stephen Swales, a PB spragg of 9 lb 09½ oz winning his first match and taking Man of the Match. This is now the HF of the season beating Brian Harland’s fish of 9 lb 03½ oz caught on Sun 27th Nov. Stephen sets the bar for HF & HBoF in the monthly sweep (I hope he has entered). His brother Stuart had to help him land the fish, and reported losing a bigger fish the previous cast when it became fast on the rocky foreshore.
Paul Kilpatrick continues to find the fish on poor nights and since Match 19, Wed 30th Nov has climbed the Leader Board from 16th to 9th weighing-in 13 fish for 18 lb 14 oz, double what any other member has caught.
The next best fish 4 lb 06½ oz was landed by Paul Short, joint 11th with Andrew Cass on 41 lb 03 oz. No change in the top 3 as they were away fishing in Scotland. 4th place Brian Harland closed the gap to 3rd place Rob Allison to 5 lb 02 oz. Brian’s Av/fish is 2 lb 10 oz compared to Rob’s 1 lb 14 oz.
Next Sunday, 18th Dec is the members Christmas match, fishing 2pm - 7pm weigh-in by 8pm at the Stakesby Arms. Thirty four members have entered the match, after which there is a carvery and prize giving, where ‘no one’ goes home without a prize.

2nd win for Ben
Ben Laws - 5 lb 00 oz
Low water 22.25 hrs, 0.6 metres, 1022 mbar, 10°C
Penultimate Wednesday 3hr night match before the ‘Christmas break’ and conditions were far from ideal, a scratching match but the same for all, testing the skills of all match anglers. Christmas is but ten days away and we still have double figure temperatures. The big tide gave members a chance to fish some rarely reached marks which paid dividends for some, and a damp cold evening for one.
Swell was virtually non-existent save the odd lift now & then, there was however plenty of colour. The southerly wind was strong and at times made it hard to stand up let alone cast a line out. Ebbing fast, once out on the open scaurs, away from the land mass the wind eased. Cloudless, the bright ‘cold moon’ gave enough light to dispense with head torches.
Members were obviously slow to the scales having maximised fishing times knowing the walk back would be over open clean scaurs. 19 fish, 7 different species, 6 billets, 4 codlings, 3 rocklings, 3 LSD’s*, 1 pouting, 1 whiting & 1 flat fish - 25 lb 12 oz
Not having had a win since Wed 5th Oct, Man of the Match Ben Laws, (2nd win) was smiling 3 codlings, a pouting inc. the HFish of the match, a codling 5 lb 00 oz. Ben climbs to 6th from 8th on the Leader Board, passing Bernard Vasey by 2 lb 06 oz. Chairman William Atkinson weighed a good billet of 1 lb 14½ oz, and Rob Allison the best LSD of the evening 2 lb 01 oz - Rob holds the LSD WSAA Record 2 lb 10 oz form 6th January 2013. All LSD’s were returned to the water alive.
Sunday is the Christmas match, fishing 2-7pm, weigh-in by 8pm at The Stakesby Arms, followed by a carvery, prize giving, free raffle, organised by Treasurer Dave Perrett, and no one goes home empty handed.
Following Wednesday 21st Dec the Singles K/Out final between Bernard Vasey & Colin Stainthorpe will be fished. Thereafter the Christmas break, returning Wed 4th January 2017, Match 26 the second half of the 50 match season starts.

Low water 13.00 hrs, 1.4 metres, High water 19.03 hrs,
5.4 metres, 1031mbar, 10°C
The weather was far from festive, nor seasonal for the WSAA annual Christmas match, ‘no jacket req’d’, it was so mild. Fishing from 2-7pm, weigh-in 7-8pm at The Stakesby Arms, members needn’t rush back to the weigh-in and could fish to full time from any either end of the boundary.
There was a gentle SWesterly breeze, 10°C, some welcome light cloud cover to shield the sun shine from the water. Plenty of colour despite the lack lustre 0-1 ft NWesterly swell. Swell was periodic, and came in short burst for the all flood match up to high water 19.03 hrs, 5.4 metres.
There was an excellent turnout of 34 members fishing the 5hr match. Conditions were such it was to be a scratching match, with members changing marks in search of an all-important weigh-in as catch forecasts were low. Fishing the rock in daylight then moving to the beach for whitings as darkness fell was successful for one or two. Fresh lug worm and mackerel strips being most successful baits.
Bernard Vasey wasn’t exactly rushed off his feet at the weigh-in (but made of point of weighing to the ½ oz as he knew it could be close) as a steady trickle of 21 successful members arrived with their meagre catches. 12 whitings, 8 billets, 8 flat fish, 7 codlings, 6 rocklings and a wrasse top the scales at 34 lb 14 oz, 42 assorted fish in total Av 13 oz.
As we waited, Bernard reported hooking a good fish 1st cast but was unable to get it moving, constantly nodding he tried for 20 mins walking 50yds left then 50 yds right in order to retrieve it. Sadly all that came back was ½ a hook snood.
There was a tie for 1st place, Malcolm Pitman - 6 whitings & a flat fish - 4 lb 03 oz, weighing-in in front of Stuart Swales, as he waited for his turn with 1 wrasse (2 lb 03½ oz), 1 billet & a rockling for exactly the same weight 4 lb 03 oz. Not even ½ oz could separate them. Malcolm & Paula Pitman of Hook, Line & Sinker, Church St. very kindly & generous sponsor the event, so Malcolm elected not to take his share of the prize money. He did however receive a prize from the table and will be engraved on the trophy.
The HFish fell to Chris McCarthy (Jnr) 2 lb 06½ oz codling. Chris finished 6th overall and is the first member to receive the new Heaviest Fish Trophy for the Christmas match donated by Richard Deadman, The Michael Deadman Memorial Trophy in memory of his father who sadly past away earlier this year.
Many thanks to Tracey, landlady of The Stakesby Arms, and her staff for an excellent carvery laid on for all members after the weigh-in prior to prize giving. Nobody went home without a prize as those who weren’t successful in the match were drawn from a hat and had pick of the table. Each member received a lottery scratch card and 2 raffle tickets for the extensive raffle table all laid on by WSAA Treasurer Dave Perrett.

Nobody went home without a prize as those who weren’t successful in the match were drawn from a hat and had pick of the table. Each member received a lottery scratch card and 2 raffle tickets for the extensive raffle table all laid on by WSAA Treasurer Dave Perrett.

Colin’s Tadpole K/O’s Bernard
Colin & Bernard shake hands
High water 21.40 hrs, 4.6 metres, 1019 mbar, 7°C
Last match of 2016 before the Xmas break for WSAA members and yet again a flat calm sea. Strong offshore SWesterly wind 7°C at the start of the 3hr match, clear skies brought a definite chill, 1°C by 22.00hrs. Dark night, no moonlight and a forecasted Aurora Borealis. No close to shore swell save some very long distant NNWesterly swell which was very intermittent. Sets of 4 or so swells separated by 50yds of 1-2ft would break, then calm.
The all flood, scratching, match lead to members travelling in search of a better fish, while others stuck to local piers and beaches for codlings, whiting and flat fish maximising the fishing as opposed to losing to travelling time. Top tip, leave in plenty of time and don’t miss the weigh-in.
On the sand fish bites were few & far between and were of the smash & grab, one time hits & gone. The ‘fish’, so far, this season have not been around in numbers, nor where you would expect them. This time last year the weigh-in stood at 1,074 fish for 1,585 lb compared to 685 fish for 1,235 lb.
Of the 20 members fishing, 14 slowly returned to the scales with their catch of 37 assorted fish. 19 whitings, 6 flat fish, 5 billets, 4 codlings, 2 rocklings and a tadpole fish. Both Paul Kilpatrick & Andrew Cass shared top spot with identical bags 5 lb 02 oz. Paul’s 3rd win & Cassy’s 2nd to date. HFish 2 lb 10 oz fell to Ben Laws. Rob Allison, now the 3rd member to pass the 100 lb mark.
Bernard Vasey, sadly no fish, waited patiently for Colin Stainthorpe to return to the scales to decide the winner of the Singles K/Out final. Colin approached the scales, still wearing his waders, to shake Bernard’s hand, assuming Bernard had won, only for Bernard to say, he’d blanked, Colin was surprised. Returning to his van for his fish bag, placed a 14 oz tadpole fish on the pan, caught on his last cast at 21.50 hrs.

10 minute double for Brian
Brian Harland 12 lb 13 oz
High water 19.54 hrs, 5.2 metres, 1030 mbar, 3°C
Happy New Year, & Tight Lines, the Northerly blow finally arrived and had been growing all day. Far from ideal, it was not going to make the nights fishing ‘easy’ especially as it was up & over high water. Swells were in the region of 10 - 16 ft coupled with a very strong on shore NNWesterly wind. The day time temp had been 6°C which felt more like -6C (wind chill factor), in reality it was 3°C come 22.00 hrs. Cloud cover at the start was heavy bringing rain which thankfully soon past. Come 21.00hrs the skies darkened again and a very painful hail storm hit.
Finding a sheltered fishable mark was not going to be easy and only 18 members fished, many preferring ‘sofa hole’. The first time numbers have dropped below 20 fishing. Those who fished reported not having a bite all night, which was to be expected, fishing a growing, surging sea is far from ideal, best when it is dying away. Many reported surging but as yet no major weed problems.
Members were glad to get to the weigh station, Fleece car park, out of the weather. Reports of a good fish being caught by Brian Harland were reported by witness Bernard Vasey, in the order of 9 lb plus, as seen from a distance. As Brian lifted his fish from his fish bag estimates were quickly expressed 10 lb, 11 lb, & 12 lb. Members huddled round shielding the fish pan from the wind, the scales settled at 12 lb 13 oz. Well done Brian, the HFish of the season, and first over 10 lb. Brian reported hooking his fish at 19.10 hrs - 10 mins into the 3hr match and didn’t have another bite all night.
Brian’s nephew Stuart Swales was the only other member to land a fish, a codling of 2 lb 00 oz.
What a way for Brian to start the New Year, HF of the season to date, HF & HBoF for January monthly sweep.
Of the ‘regular’ fishing members Brain leads the Highest Av Fish Weight of 2 lb 10 oz, for which there is a trophy/tankard, donated by myself in 2014 - 2015 Season - Best Aggregate (Members must fish 76% or more of the seasons matches to qualify). (Fished all 26 matches to date).
This was Brian’s 3rd win and he now moves up the Leader Board to 3rd, 5 lb 10 oz ahead of Rob Allison, and 12 lb 08 oz behind 2nd place Matty Lamb.
Results:- 2 fish - 14 lb 13 oz (Av 7 lb 03 oz)

1 lb 12 oz blegg / pouting caught by Brian Harland
Low water 18.16 hrs, 2.0 metres, 1029 mbar, 7°C
The sea state had died down from Wednesday to a gentle 2-3 ft Northerly long distance swell, with a light SWesterly off shore wind for Sunday night’s 4hr match. Cloud cover was light unfortunately a bright ¾ moon wasn’t helpful.
Colour varied greatly from mark to mark, some reported crystal clear while others reported thick colour. Temperature dropped very quickly and wind chill started to make a difference for baiting up. Not an ideal tide for fishing, all flood, on a slack tide, starting right on low water. Some members moved marks after an hour or so, driving to another as the flood pushed them off.
Undersized whitings and codlings, although a good sign for the future were just bait robbers and kept a number of members busy who caught nothing else. Billets were scarce, usually on such a night there would have been more about.
Members were slow returning to the scales, of the 22 members fishing only 15 were successful. Landing 35 assorted fish - 14 codlings, 12 whitings, 4 rocklings, 2 billets, 2 dabs, and a blegg/pouting for 58 lb 02 oz Av 1 lb 11 oz. Brian Harland landed the blegg / pouting of 1 lb 12 oz. Although not a WSAA Record, still a good catch. Record held by Rob Allison 2 lb 07 oz 9th Oct 2011.
Last to the scales (as is the norm) Dave Perrett, took Man of the Match, 2 codlings 10 lb 07 oz for his 3rd win. Also HFish of the night 5 lb 09 oz, Dave’s 1st HFish win. Bernard Vasey had been leading with the HF of the night 5 lb 06 oz.
Top Tip - remember to put the scales, & fish pan away at the end of the match.

The sea state had died down from Wednesday to a gentle 2-3 ft Northerly long distance swell, with a light SWesterly off shore wind for Sunday night’s 4hr match. Cloud cover was light unfortunately a bright ¾ moon wasn’t helpful.
Colour varied greatly from mark to mark, some reported crystal clear while others reported thick colour. Temperature dropped very quickly and wind chill started to make a difference for baiting up. Not an ideal tide for fishing, all flood, on a slack tide, starting right on low water. Some members moved marks after an hour or so, driving to another as the flood pushed them off.

Nearing high water on Snadsend beach, a surfer can be seen (middle photo) LH side, just behind white water.
Jason Ebison - 7 lb 10½ oz
Low water 21.21 hrs, 1.1 metres, 1006 mbar, 3°C
Environmental Dept. had issued weather and high tide warnings for the north east coast. Gale force WNWesterly winds were due, with 8 - 12 ft NWesterly swell, coinciding with a high tide 15.00 hrs, 5.5 metres. For the 3hr evening match members were fishing down to low water 1.1 metres, 21.21 hrs, and finding a sheltered mark was not going to be easy. Once fishing the swell /sea state, was not strong enough to overcome the ebb tide, leading to periods of calm. No reports of any weed problems.
The wind obviously got stronger once out onto the open scaurs, pulling end tackle into snags despite well bowed lines. Tripods and bags had to be secured as best. Bite detection was virtually non-existent unless the rod tip was held in the water. Water was thick with colour, but a clear sky and a near perfect full moon did not help. Temperature although 3°C felt more like -3°C with wind chill, baiting up was painful on the finger tips.
First to the scales, and for good reason, Ben Laws, a double figure bag of 5 codlings - 22 lb 06 oz (Av 4 lb 08 oz) his HF
6 lb 06 oz - took Man of the Match, his 3rd win this season. Lifting Ben from 7th to 5th on the Leader Board. Ben now leads in the Monthly Sweeps for HBoFish. Next to the scales, Matty Lamb 2 codlings 6 lb 09 oz closing on the leader Denis Thompson, deficit now 14 lb 02 oz
Jason Ebison announced, ‘just a rockling Bernard’ then slid a fine spragg of 7 lb 10½ oz on the pan for HF of the night. His first HF win, reported landing it shortly after 8pm. Of the 18 seniors and 2 juniors fishing the match, only 9 were successful, returning with 14 codlings and 2 rocklings - 59 lb 11 oz - an excellent average 3 lb 12 oz as a better stamp of fish are continuing to be caught this season.
Sunday 15th January and some members will be travelling north to the Amble Open - Good luck & tight lines to all.
Results:- 16 fish - 59 lb 11 oz (Av 3 lb 12 oz)

Sunday morning dog walk Sandsend beach
Brian Harland - 7 lb 02½ oz
High water 17.58 hrs, 5.8 metres, 1023 mbar, 6°C
Fridays tidal storm surge past, thankfully with minimal local damage but the seas were still rough on Sunday. The Northerly swell, now 7ft, with a gentle Easterly offshore wind for the nights club match. Extremely low heavy cloud cover brought drizzle, a dark dank miserable nights 4hr fishing match. Surging was a problem for the all ebb match which started at high water.
Cliff marks & piers were extremely popular but the fish just were not there in any numbers, considering the number of rods (clubs & pleasure anglers alike) that did not have so much as a bite let alone catch anything. Tackle loses were heavy, weed was reported making areas, such as Runswick Bay virtually unfishable. Some members tried various marks, and retired early for the night due to only finding weed.
Twenty two members fished with 11 successfully returning to the scales with 13 codlings and 5 whitings - 45 lb 07 oz. First up to the scales, Brian Harland with a fine looking spragg 7 lb 02½ oz, taking his 5th HF win. Man of the Match Denis Thompson, his 4th HBoFish win 2 codlings 8 lb 02 oz included a cod of 6 lb 15 oz. Denis’ lead over 2nd place Matty Lamb now 17 lb 05 oz. Brian Harland is closing fast on Matty, deficit now 11 lb 11 oz having past Rob Allison by 1 lb 04 oz. Ben Laws, next in line to break the 100 lb mark is 24 lb 05 oz behind Rob.
This time last year the Seasons tally was -
1,239 fish for 1,881 lb 13 oz (Av 1 lb 08 oz)
this year, with more members -
756 fish for 1,414 lb 00 oz (Av 1 lb 14 oz)
Congratulations to Ben Laws, winner of the 2014 Amble Open who came 3rd on Sunday with 7 codlings 9 lb 14 oz and picked up £150 in winnings.

16.00 hrs Sandsend beach flat as the village pond.
Whitings ga'Laws
Rob Allison 2 lb 04 oz demonstrating what a proper fish looks like :-)
High water 20.06 hrs, 5.2 metres, 1037 mbar, 9°C
High pressure dominating the weather, gentle offshore SWesterly wind, and another dark night due to extremely low cloud base. Thankfully it stayed dry all night. Sea state resembled the local village pond, flat, and crystal clear.
Decisions, a scratching match, stay on local beaches or travel, for whitings and flat fish, alternatively fish the cliff marks in the hope of picking up an odd codling or two.
Twenty four members were fishing the 3hr match, and 20 members kept Bernard Vasey very busy at the scales. 208 fish were weighed-in 199 whitings, 6 flat fish, 2 rocklings, and 1 codling - 134 lb 12 oz (Av 10 oz)
Man of the Match, with his 5th win, Ben Laws 22 lb 07½ oz, 36 whitings and a flat fish. Brian Harland 18 lb 05 oz has moved into 2nd place on the Leader Board, 10 lb 11 oz deficit to Denis Thompson who didn’t weigh-in.
Paula Pitman has successfully laid claim to the Ladies record HBoFish 12 lb 13½ oz from 17 whitings, and 2 flat fish. The last lady member was Ingrid Wren 1965/66 season (who set up Ingrid Flute Holiday Homes, Scarborough) in that season Ingrid weighed-in 4 st 7 lb 01½ oz, sadly no records of individual bag weights or nightly fishing records have been found despite Chairman William Atkinson checking his press clippings.
The only codling to be weighed-in fell to Rob Allison 2 lb 04 oz for his 3rd HFish win.
Results:- 208 fish - 134 lb 12 oz (Av 0 lb 10 oz)

½hr before high water 11.48 hrs Sandsend beach
Pot bait
Whitings for Stainthorpe
Colin Stainthorpe
Low water 18.09 hrs, 2.6 metres, 1030 mbar, 1°C
Sunday, high pressure continues to dominate the unseasonal weather. A gentle, but very cold, offshore WSWesterly wind made baiting up painful on the finger tips. Sea state was crystal clear, virtually flat with maybe 1ft on marks facing due north. Low cloud base and fog/mist made for another dark nights fishing.
A scratching match, not everyones favourite, same conditions for all, but nonetheless members had 4hrs to find whitings and flat fish in the hope of making up places or deficits on the Leader Board, many elected to travel.
Mackerel, razor, squid and lug worm were the bait of choice with fresh lug being more successful than frozen. Starting at low water on a slack tide for the all flood match expectations were low. It was an hour or so for the first bite, and didn’t really improve until the last ½hr. Too late to make any difference as members packed up to travel home. The whitings were just not there in numbers like last Wednesday night.
Eighteen seniors and 2 Jnrs were fishing, and only 2 failed to weigh-in reporting catching only undersized fish. The weigh-in reflected the poor night only 56 fish for 30 lb 11 oz, 13 dabs, 43 whitings, giving an Av 9 oz/fish. The seasons overall Av is slowly falling, now 1 lb 09 oz as whitings and flat fish are dominating the catch.
Man of the Match, with his 4th HBoFish win, and 2nd Hfish win Colin Stainthorpe 6 whitings and a dab - 5 lb 08 oz, his HFish, a whiting, 1 lb 00½ oz (smallest HFish win). Colin, now the 6th member to brake the 100 lb mark, has a 12 lb 09 oz deficit to Ben Laws, who could only manage 1 whiting, against 37 fish on Wednesday night.
Matty Lamb, now only 2 lb deficit to Brian Harland, 2nd on the Leader Board, and extends his lead over Rob Allison 16 lb 03 oz.
Great team work & comradery form WSAA members who came to one member’s aid, who had left his bait bucket and scissors at home. A quick whip round saw him kitted out for the match.
Top tips:-
1) Remember to pack your bait bucket in the car
2) Remember your bait scissors (have a spare pair in your bag)
3) Have enough money for a refreshment after the weigh-in
4) If you managed all 3 in one night, buy a lottery ticket ;-)

Flat calm, crystal clear sea state, chilly southerly wind, Sandsend beach
Pouting / blegg 1 lb 07½ oz
Low water 20.52 hrs, 1.8 metres, 1024 mbar, 2°C
The high pressure still with us for Wednesday nights 3hr match. Flat calm, crystal clear sea state, strengthening Southerly wind knocked back any Northerly swell to less than a foot at best. Another scratching match but fishing over low water on a slack tide did not instil any confidence even for a bag of whitings.
However, as they say, the conditions are the same for all, and 21 members, and 1 junior fished the match. Fish bites were few and far between, some reporting no bites at all. Ben Laws reported hooking a good fish, possibly a double. The fish got its head down right in front of him on the scaur edge. Ben gave it some line to free itself, sadly became unhooked and swam away.
The southerly wind was bitterly cold, wind chill made baiting up very painful especially if you were using a two hook trace. Bite detection was made harder with the gusting wind, which at times knocked one off ones feet. Rod stands and bait buckets were blown over once out onto the open scaurs following the ebbing tide. It was agreed, it was the coldest nights fishing for a long time.
Only eight members had fish to grace the fish pan, and no one had more than one to weigh-in. HF & HBoFish fell to WSAA Secretary Peter Horbury with a pouting of 1 lb 07½ oz. Officially the worst weigh-in this season 4 whitings, 2 rocklings, 1 billet and a pouting for 7 lb 07 oz - Av 15 oz.
Sunday is the Inter Club Tournament, The Bell Trophy. Good turnout please & fish weights count. Members meet Marine Drive, Oasis Café at 08.30 hrs prompt, fishing 10.00 - 14.00 hrs, weigh-in station Scarborough Rock Anglers Social Club 14.00 - 15.00 hrs
Entry fee for Bell is £3, rounded up to £10/member, all in, all out.

The 92nd Inter Club Tournament - Bell Trophy
Sunday morning 08.30 hrs WSAA members met at the Oasis Café, Marine Drive, Scarborough, for the annual Inter Club Tournament nee Bell Trophy. The match is organised by Scarborough Rock Anglers Social Club. Local fishing clubs are invited to compete, fishing from 10.00 - 14.00 hrs. Clubs nominate teams of 8 or more, fishing for the best aggregate to win the Bell Trophy.
Conditions were fair, bright sunlight, light cloud cover, SWesterly wind 10 mph, 4°C. However the sea state was flat calm save a slight 0 - 1ft NWesterly lift. Colour varied greatly between the boundaries Argyle Gulley to Coble Landing Filey. Catch forecast was extremely low considering catch reports of late, and lower in daylight. Tactics would play a part with some targeting flat fish down to low water, then moving marks for the flood in the hope of picking up something better.
Despite the unfavourable fishing conditions, 86 club members, from Bridlington, South Cliff, Filey, Scarborough Rocks, Cloughton, Scalby Mills, and Whitby Sea Anglers fished the 4hr match forming 8 Teams. The weigh-in was held at Scarborough Rock Anglers Social Club, 14.00 - 15.00 hrs where only 16 fish graced the scales for 25 lb 12 oz 12 drm from 11 anglers. Only 4 teams made a weigh-in, Cloughton, Scarborough Rocks, Scalby Mills & Filey A. The rest Bridlington, South Cliff, Filey B, and Whitby Sea Anglers all failed to weigh-in a single fish.
Congratulation go to Cloughton Rock Anglers who were victorious for the 2nd year in a row, and many thanks to Scarborough Rocks for the invitation.

High water 18.51 hrs, 5.6 metres, 1000 mbar, 6°C
February and the mild weather continues, low pressure brought rain showers, quickly cleared by the strengthening SSWesterly wind 18-35mph. The Northerly swell, 2ft, dropped off once the ebb took hold, plenty of colour in the water. The wind was the biggest hindrance, pulling on the line, dragging end tackle into snags. No reports, unlike earlier in the week, of weed problems.
Man of the Match, with his 2nd win Steven Swales 12 whitings for 10 lb 01 oz. HFish fell to Matty Lamb (his 4th win) 5 lb 01 oz, both weights set the mark for February’s Monthly Sweep. Stuart Swales reported catching his first Lesser Spotted Dogfish.
The season’s average fish weight has dropped to 1 lb 08 oz. Looking at the overall catch to date 395 codlings to 362 whitings and 135 rocklings we have only recently past 1,000 fish mark.
Matty Lamb has closed the deficit to Denis Thompson 5 lb 13 oz as he past Brian Harland into 2nd spot. Ben Laws has nudged Rob Allison into 5th, Ben is 15 lb 02 oz behind Brian Harland on the Leader Board.
With the fish moving into deeper water to spawn every match counts for the top 6, as less than 50 lb separates them. Denis Thompson leads best aggregate fish 2 lb 06 oz, Matty Lamb & Bernard Vasey joint 2nd at 2 lb 02 oz
Re - The WSAA Bell Trophy sweep money – this was returned as no one weighed-in, members can either put it (£7) towards their Presentation evening meal or match entries (15 matches left). Bernard Vasey will shortly be taking names, and deposits for the presentation evening meal.
Reminder Sunday 12th February is the Secretary’s Challenge Trophy match - V - Cloughton Rocks. Fishing 10.00 - 16.00 hrs weigh-in at the Red Lion, Cloughton. Weights count to Leader Board as there is no evening match. Boundaries northern - Peak Steel, Ravenscar, & southern - East Pier, Scarborough.
Results:- 43 fish - 42 lb 08 oz (Av 1 lb 00 oz)

High water 10.17 hrs Sunday morning
Denis maintains lead
Denis Thompson - 4 lb 11½ oz
High water 22.42 hrs, 4.9 metres, 1012 mbar, 1°C
North East coast centre of a low pressure system, the weather was fair, dry, but chilly. Slack tide, and the sea state was thick with colour, a welcome 1 - 2 ft of NEasterly swell. Moderate offshore SEasterly breeze brought much colder air at nightfall, a frost formed, making it very cold on the fingers for baiting up. As the clouds cleared shortly after 19.00 hrs, a couple of meteors were spotted streaking across the sky (plenty of time for star gazers, unfortunately the skies were not clear enough at 17.55 hrs to watch the International Space Station {ISS} fly over).
The flood was already up 1½ hrs when members started fishing at 18.00hrs. Piers and beaches were very popular with members from 2 clubs, joined by pleasure anglers. Fish bites were few and far between, and finicky, one good pull, then nothing. Fresh mackerel seemed to fish better than any other bait, under sized codling & whiting, nee bait robbers were returned.
Of the 20 seniors and 2 juniors fishing the 4hr match, 19 returned with an assortment of fish, some pushing it until the last 5 mins to weigh-in having travelled. Bernard Vasey, assisted by Rob Allison weighed 61 whitings, 8 flat fish, 4 billets and 3 codlings 61 lb 10 oz (Av 13 oz). Whiting were of better stamp noted 1 lb 07 oz & 1 lb 06 oz were caught by Dave Ward & Peter Horbury respectfully.
Man of the Match Malcolm Pitman 13 whitings & 2 flat fish 9 lb 04 oz his 2nd win. HFish fell to Denis Thompson 4 lb 11½ oz his 3rd HFish win. Rob Allison & Dave Perrett, the others to weigh-in a codling. Dave Perrett’s night did not start well, pulling off the road onto the grass prior to parking up, drove into another motorists tyre ruts, and was totally grounded. After a quick ‘phone a friend’ & undeterred, started fishing, awaiting a family member for a tow out.

13.00 hrs high water approaching NEasterly swell ☺
3 make Brian's 3rd win
Matty Lamb - 4 lb 13 oz
Low water 20.20 hrs, 1.5 metres, 1033 mbar, 1°C
Weather had turned, the intersection (like two cogs meshing), high pressure (clockwise) to the north & low pressure (anti clockwise) to the south east combined, drawing colder air from the east. Brisk ESEasterly winds had brought snow showers during the day, made for a very dry cold night. Despite heavy cloud cover, the near full moon made an appearance from time to time.
Ideal NEasterly swell 3-5ft with plenty of colour lost none of its momentum as low water approached. The high pressure 1033mbar made for a bigger ebb than predicted hence the tide quickly turned, aided by the wind, and members were quickly pushed back up the open scaurs as the flood pushed. No weed nor surging reported.
Reports of some good catches this week, and a ‘piggy’ from Pete Dunn, Scarborough, 22 members and 2 juniors were fishing. Sadly only 14 had fish to weigh-in, Dave Perrett commented his surprise at the poor weigh-in, only 21 codlings, 3 rocklings for 54 lb 10 oz. Members were slow to the scales, and James Gilpin presided at the scales as Bernard Vasey was unwell, and we wish him a speedy return to good health.
Man of the Match Brian Harland, his 3rd HBoFish win, 3 codlings 8 lb 15 oz, closes the gap to 2nd place Matty Lamb, to 1 lb 12 oz. HFish fell to Matty Lamb 4 lb 13 oz. Matty has also closed the gap to leader Denis Thompson, now 6 lb 01 oz. It’s going to be a close finish to the season as only 10 lb separates the top 3.
Matty reported catching his HFish on the last cast, his hook snood threaded with a single fresh lug worm. Having casted out, propped his rod up, returning to his bag to pack up. One of the Swales brothers started yelling at him as his rod tip was thumping away, and being bent double.
Sunday is the Secretary’s Challenge Trophy match WSAA - V - Cloughton Rock Anglers. Members fishing from 10.00 - 16.00 hrs, weigh-in Red Lion, Cloughton closes at 17.00 hrs. Please take note of their fish sizes. All weights count.

Secretary’s Challenge Trophy
Low water (Whitby) 10.58 hrs, 1.2 metres, 1033 mbar, 3°C
Cloughton retain Trophy
Secretary’s Challenge Trophy WSAA - V - Cloughton Rock Anglers, revived last year, and Cloughton Rocks won. This year the date & tide picked by WSAA, while Cloughton Rocks hosted at The Red Lion, Cloughton. All human aspects were organised, and ‘mother nature’ threw in a spanner, the weather, most foul. The boundaries had to be opened up for safety reasons, Runswick Bay Lifeboat slipway to Coble Landing, Filey, giving all a chance to fish a mark/marks they knew.
Fishing 10.00 -16.00hrs, giving an hour of ebb, 5hrs flood, the hardest part was finding not only a sheltered mark, but a fishable one, with some moving & travelling mid match as the flood pushed them back. All anglers were instructed to return to the weigh-in, catch or not, so they could be counted as safely home, participating in the hospitality of their hosts, at The Red Lion.
Catch forecasts were low, but conditions the same for all. Strong Easterly winds, 29-36mph, whipped up an Easterly sea 5 - 8ft, when doubled up, and it did, waves of 12ft+. Rain, sleet, and skin piercing hail, anglers were well battered. The tide turned quickly, aided by the strong wind. Thirty six anglers took part, 21 from Cloughton & 16 from WSAA. The team with the best aggregate would win the trophy.
Only 5 members graced the scales with their catches, 11 fish for 19 lb 12 oz, 3 members from Cloughton topped the scales with 9 fish for 16 lb 08 oz, while 2 members WSAA weighed-in 2 fish for 3 lb 04 oz. Giving WSAA an aggregate of 3 oz, with Cloughton’s aggregate 13 oz - clear winners and deservedly won, continuing their winning form from the Bell Trophy.
For the prize fund, both Clubs put £50 into the kitty, along with £5 entry fee, made up a pot of £285, split 50/50% for HBoFish & HFish. Split further 50/30/20% for 1st, 2nd & 3rd places.
The same 3 anglers won the prize money in both HBoFish & HFish, Andy Crowe, Andy Clyde*, and Rob Allison. Split £72.50, £40.00, £30.00 - *envelopes were given warnings - Do Not Burn
Many thanks to the landlord & landlady of The Red Lion, Cloughton, Dave & Wendy Kemp for the hot food & sandwiches much appreciated after a cold wet 6hrs fishing.
And of course many thanks, from both Peter Halder & myself, for all who took part and made this friendly competition a success.

Low water Sandsend beach 13.00hrs
High water 18.51 hrs, 5.5 metres, 1024 mbar, 8°C
Settled weather for Wednesday night’s 3hr match. A gentle SSWesterly breeze made for a mild night, no moon light (moon rise 22.30hrs). Near flat calm sea state, slight Northerly swell faded on the ebb. Colour varied from mark to mark. Either way, a scratching match, piers cliffs, and beaches for the all ebb match, starting at high tide. Travel or not to travel in search of whiting, on nights like this a weigh-in is a must to remain competitive when the Leader Board is so close.
Speed fishing, two, two hook rigs baited and ready, one in, one out and rebaited. Fish bites were timid, obviously the whitings were not there in numbers otherwise the baits would have been fought over and taken first time.
Twenty two seniors and 2 juniors of which 15 seniors and the 2 juniors had fish to weigh-in. Bernard, not fully recovered, was presiding with James at the scales. Predominantly whitings of a good size, HFish, a whiting, 1 lb 02½ oz from Steven Swales took HFish of the night. The only codling, landed by Colin Stainthorpe was just size 1 lb 01 oz. Man of the Match Mike Saunders, with his 1st win, who started slowly made up mid match with a few ‘two-ups’, and another at the end of the match.
On the Leader Board Ben Laws regains the 4th place he lost on Sunday to Rob Allison. Denis Thompson still leads with heaviest aggregate 2 lb 07 oz. Only 6 members have broken the 100 lb mark, next, Dave Perrett 12 lb 13 oz shy.
There are now only 12 matches left to close of season, and to date there have only been 3 matches were less than twenty members fished (min 16). Always a good turn out and members should be praised for their dedication in this hard fought season.
Results:- 76 fish - 51 lb 10 oz (Av 11 oz)

High water 09.30 hrs Sandsend beach
Ben Laws - 2 lb 03 oz thornback ray
High water 22.03 hrs, 4.4 metres, 1016 mbar, 10°C
Sunday’s 4hr, all flood, slack tide, evening match was a scratching match with members returning to Wednesday night’s marks, in the hope of a similar catch. 0-1ft Northerly swell, which grew as high water neared, and strengthening SSWesterly winds with a couple of short rain showers made for a cold night. Disappointment was wide spread with both clubmen & pleasure anglers alike, bites were few and far between with very few undersized fish landed, a sign that the fish just weren’t there.
Scratching for whitings & flat fish piers, south & north were the marks many opted for with mixed results. On Wednesday, north fished, on Sunday night, a complete reversal, south fished better. From a personal observation fresh lug worm was the bait to have, just for a bite, let alone catch anything.
Despite the far from ideal fishing conditions, a good turnout of 20 members fished. Every little helps in the fight for a top ten trophy place, a weigh-in is a weigh-in, rockling, flat fish or whiting. Cod being the ideal fish to target but at this time of year they have moved into deeper water to spawn.
Bernard Vasey, still not 100%, didn’t fish but presided at the scales, which didn’t take long as only 9 members had fish to weigh. 24 whitings, 4 flat fish and 3 rocklings for a poor 17 lb.
Brian Harland, Man of the Match {4th win} 7 whitings 3 lb 13 oz, and James ‘Jamsy’ Moore, {a hint in the name}, landed the HFish of the night 15½ oz*
*Amended 1st March 2017, Ben Laws 2 lb 07 oz - after a committee meeting Chairman William Atkinson, Bernard Vasey, Rob Allison, Treasurer Dave Perrett & Secretary Peter Horbury came to a unanimous decision 1) the weight is accepted 2) no rule changes, 3) Rules & Fish sizes to be tabled for the AGM 30th August 2017. Leader Board updated from Wednesday 1st March 2017 with Ben's recorded weight 2 lb 07 oz
Thornback Ray - Reference:-
1) IFCA web site, “there is ‘NO’ EU minimum landing size for Thornback Rays”.
2) The Angling Trust Recommended Retention Sizes for Sea Angling Matches & Competitions 45cm (wing tip to wing tip)
3) WSAA Rules quote 46cm, ‘but’ don’t stipulate how to measure ie length or across wing tips.
Last night the 3rd Thornback Ray, in WSAA history, was landed by Ben Laws 2 lb 07 oz wing tip 38cm but exceeded 46cm in length. At this time it has ‘been recorded’ until the Committee can decide if permissible.

High water & sunshine for the afternoon dog walk, and a growing sea
Colin's Double wins
Colin Stainthorpe - 4 lb 08 oz
Low water 19.39 hrs, 2.2 metres, 1001 mbar, 7°C
Storm Doris is/was inbound, strong Westerly cross shore winds 20mph predicted. Sea state NWesterly 4-6ft however colour varied from mark to mark predominantly clear. Two things surprised a lot of members, one - the lack of colour, and two - the tide hadn’t ebbed. Low pressure and a Westerly wind had kept the slack tide hard in to the coast line. Having been caught out it meant travelling again, and a late start for some.
The cross shore wind made finding a reasonably sheltered and fishable mark a task in itself. There was a hint of a rain shower early on which thankfully faded away. Plenty of cloud cover, and no moonlight made for a dark nights fishing. Swells, once the flood started were rhythmical with no surging, however weed was a hindrance on some marks.
Poor catches, poor fishing conditions and the numbers are starting to drop, with only 17 seniors and 2 juniors fishing the 3hr match. Bernard wasn’t exactly rushed at the scales as only 8 had fish to weigh-in. Chris McCarthy was 1st with a 3 lb 15 oz codling, and lead until Colin Stainthorpe placed 2 codlings 8 lb 04 oz in the fish pan. HFish 4 lb 08 oz took both the HBoFish & HFish wins. Colin’s 4th HBoF & 3rd HFish wins.
It is all change on the Leader Board in this very tight close fought season, Brian Harland continues to march to the top, passing Matty Lamb* for 2nd place. Leaving Brian only 3 oz behind Denis Thompson* for top spot with only 10 matches left to close of season. 99 fish and Brian leads the fish count but dropped his aggregate to 1 lb 10 oz with whitings, whereas Denis stills leads with a 2 lb 06 oz aggregate, next is Bernard Vasey 2 lb 01 oz.
Colin Stainthorpe now has a 7 lb 14 oz deficit to 5th place Rob Allison*. Danny Middlemas closing in on the last trophy, 10th place, 1 lb 08 oz deficit to James Moore.
*(didn’t weigh-in)
Results:- 9 fish - 23 lb 13 oz (Av 2 lb 10 oz)

High water 16.00 hrs afternoon walk with Aussie
Harland win tops Leader Board
Brian Harland
Low water 22.22 hrs, 1.0 metres, 993 mbar, 8°C
Sunday nights 4 hr all ebb match brought February’s fishing to a close with far from ideal conditions. Strong gusting offshore SWesterly winds, with intermittent rain showers. A fast ebbing NNEasterly sea 1-2ft, which was strong enough to maintain regular swells, with colour, gave members plenty of choice if they were prepared to brave the wind once in the open away from the land mass on more exposed marks. A few members decided to move/travel after an hour once the ebb revealed cut off points.
Some members had fished the Euros so numbers were down to 14 seniors, and a junior. Members were slow to the scales, with only 5 having fish for Bernard Vasey to record. Not the best weigh-in nor the worst for February, 2 codlings, 3 rocklings, 1 blegg, 1 whiting 1 flat fish - 9 lb 01 oz (Av 1 lb 02 oz).
Man of the match, and new match board leader Brian Harland with his 5th HBoFish win 1 codling, 1 rockling and a pouting/blegg for 3 lb 05½ oz, his HFish 2 lb 06½ oz was not good enough to beat Rob Allison’s codling 2 lb 15½ oz - also his 5th win (HF).
Both the Monthly Sweeps were won on Wed 1st Feb
HBoFish 10 lb 01 oz - Steven Swales
HFish 5 lb 10 oz - Matty Lamb
Month Ending Brian Harland can claim February as his month, 25 fish - 25 lb 08 oz, with Matty Lamb 2nd 21 lb 02 oz. Brian is also the first member to catch / pass 100 fish with 9 matches left.
February’s catch 271 fish - 188 whitings, 40 codlings, 25 flat fish, 9 rocklings, 5 billets, 1 LSD 1 blegg, and 1 thornback ray gave a total weigh-in 263 lb 08 oz (Av 1 lb 00 oz).

Update Ben Laws thornback ray - as yet not enough committee members have returned after a match to make a decision (minimum 5). However the general consensus of those spoken to, is it should be permitted as:-
1) Historically WSAA has measured on length (rays 46 cm)
2) Malcolm Pitman’s (smaller) thornback 1 lb 09 oz in 2003 was permitted.
3) There is no EU minimum landing size.
4) WSAA members have only ever caught 3 rays to date.
5) To change the rules mid-season would be unfair to all.
6) Fish sizes & methods of measuring (in general) can be reviewed at the AGM Wed 30th Aug after the summer break, possibly in line with The Angling Trust’s Recommended Retention Sizes for Sea Angling Matches & Competitions.

Afternoon walk with Aussie 15.00hrs, Sandsend beach bitterly cold with rain showers
'Top three catch'
leaves
Matty & Denis tied in 2nd
High water 17.52 hrs, 5.8 metres, 991 mbar, 5°C
Wednesday nights all ebb, 3hr match, a large 5.8 metre tide did not bode well for bags of fish, even with a good sea running. At this time of year the fish have moved off into deeper water to spawn. Twenty seniors and 2 juniors fished a well coloured 4-5ft Northerly swell, bitterly cold WSWesterly wind 9-11mph. There was an Aurora Borealis forecast earlier in the evening but had faded before the cloud cover had been blown over.
The tide ebbed very fast, too fast, the swell was, in some opinions, growing. Even whitings, billets & flat fish were not showing on the piers (too heavy to fish the beaches), just undersized codlings despite top rods putting out 1st class fresh lug worm baits on pennel rigs. One pleasure angler on the West pier landed 2 LSD’s, caught on ‘dirty squid’ & lug worm cocktail, both returned. Any member would have been over joyed to have landed those two themselves.
Come 21.30hrs rods start to twitch, Mike Saunders 1st, hooks a codling, taking it easy on retrieval as he is only, allegedly using 1/0 hooks. Dave Ward was on hand to lift it for him the short distance onto safe ground. Then it was Dave’s turn to play a fish, a much better fish estimated at 5lb+ (personally witnessed), but came unhooked as Jamsy lifted it for him. Following that Jamsy himself hooks a fish, unfortunately undersized. Match over, 10pm, just as the fish were starting to come on. That’s fishing.
Good turn-out to witness the scales, sadly very few had fish, Bernard had plenty of time to scrutinise the 6 fish - 5 codlings, 1 rockling. Man of the match Matty Lamb, nursing a deep cut on a well bandaged right wrist, managed 2 codlings 3 lb 15 oz, his 4th HBoFish win. Brian Harland, 6th HFish win 3 lb 00 oz.
The Leader Board is ‘tight’, only 8 matches left to fish, Denis Thompson & Matty Lamb are tied in 2nd place, a 4 lb 08 oz deficit to Brian Harland in top spot. Ben Laws, 4th, a deficit of 29 lb 15 oz to the top trio, has Rob Allison 1 lb 06 oz behind in 5th.
Update - Five committee members were on hand to endorse Ben Laws’ thornback ray (19th Feb), now added to his overall weight. The WSAA Rules will be discussed & amended, where necessary at the AGM 30th Aug 2017. No changes until then.
Congratulations to local angler Jake McGregor, who on Tuesday night landed a PB cod 11 lb 00 oz. It was Jake’s 1st double since taking up rock angling (in UK) a year ago having fished all over the world, his previous PB cod was 9 lb from the same mark.
Results:- 6 fish - 12 lb 00 oz (Av 2 lb 00 oz)

7 lb 14 oz (2) springs Lamb’s lead
Matty Lamb - 5 lb 14 oz
High water 21.09 hrs, 5.0 metres, 993 mbar, 7°C
Sunday nights 4hr match started in day light for 22 seniors, and 2 junior members. BST starts Sunday 26th March. The growing sea state caught a lot of members out, not what was forecast. NNEasterly 2-3ft swell was perfect until it doubled up into swells of 7-8ft from 19.30hrs onward, whiting out many marks into unfishable. After which it would return to regular swells until the next double sets arrived. The moderate offshore SEasterly wind quickly shifted into a cold Easterly.
Whitings were not in numbers, bites were hard and fast with no return, salted mackerel and fresh lug worm seemed to fish best. The growing sea tangled traces with many opting for shorter hook snoods.
Tale of two weather systems, northerly boundary edge was dry, with clear skies, 4°C, a bright ½ moon from 20.30hrs. Back in Whitby 7°C and heavy rain. Bernard & James were manning the scales, sheltering under a brolly. 18 whitings, 9 codlings, 2 flat fish & 2 poutings. Man of the Match Niki McCourt was early to the scales with good reason, 4 codlings 9 lb 05 oz claiming his first HBoFish win. His HFish 2 lb 11 oz soon eclipsed by Paul Kilpatrick 5 lb 02 oz.
All eyes would/were on the top 3, eager to see what they had, and would the pressure get the better of them, over thinking their match strategy of whom Brian was back first, 4 fish 2 lb 00 oz, an all-important weigh-in. Matty Lamb next, congratulated by Brian, 2 codlings 7 lb 14 oz, including the HFish of the night 5 lb 14 oz. The lead was his unless Denis had a bag full, alas 1 codling 2 lb 04 oz.
Matty, still heavily bandaged RH wrist, reported catching his HFish first as darkness fell. It wasn’t without difficulty, hooking the fish but it wouldn’t retrieve. Fast up and nodding, gave it slack line but didn’t free itself. Decision time, wrap his line around his arm and walk slowly back in the hope of gently pulling it free or snapping his line. Slowly pulling free Matty was relieved to land the first bite of the night.
Just 7 matches left, both Miki & Matty now lead in the Monthly HBoFish & HFish sweeps.

Low water 19.07 hrs, 1.8 metres, 1013 mbar, 7°C
A much brighter warm sunny day, governed by high pressure, on the NEast coast. Gentle SWesterly offshore wind increasing in speed late afternoon. Sea state was far from exciting, 1-2ft NEasterly swell, decreasing all day. Very little colour in the water, cloud cover was minimal, a bright ½ moon high in the West didn’t help. A scratching match for sure, beaches or piers for whitings, flat fish in the all flood 3hr match. Come the flood, the swell was not strong enough to improve the odds, the wind knocked it back further.
Twenty seniors and 2 juniors fished, mindful of retaining or keeping a position on the Leader Board as any weigh-in is welcome on nights like these. Sadly some are doggedly determined not to fish for whitings but may have to rethink their game plan (a few have) if they want to remain competitive. It is estimated, on an average season, members should aim for a 5 lb/match average. {See below the table of current members match averages based on having fished all matches to date.}
At the scales Bernard wasn’t exactly rushed, but paying attention to detail, ensuring to weigh bigger fish i.e. whitings for HFish as there were unlikely to be any cod weighed. HFish, a pouting 1 lb 03½ oz gave Danny Middlemas his 1st HFish win. Last to the scales, and Man of the Match was Peter Horbury 4 whitings, 1 billet 4 lb 06 oz for his 2nd match win {always nice to win a match ☺} 21 of the 34 members have won a match.
All in all a poor nights fishing, but expected, for both this time of year and the conditions, 17 assorted fish - 10 whitings, 3 flat fish, 2 rocklings, 1 billet and 1 pouting. Looking at Sunday’s forecasted conditions - flat calm, Westerly wind, the only bonus is low water 22.27 hrs, 0.8 metres.
Matty Lamb was the only one in the top 3 race who weighed-in, 3 flat fish, 1 lb 00 oz now leads Brian Harland by 2 lb 06 oz
Paul Short reported catching a schoolie bass, witnessed by Dave Perrett, gave a good fight, and was returned.

Matty equals LSD record
The first hour of Sunday nights 4hr match was fished in daylight, after a fine sunny day as we near BST. The sea state was flat, crystal clear, for the all ebb match on the biggest tide of the month. The wind grew in strength, shifting from SSEasterly to WNWesterly with a definite cold edge to it. Another scratching match for whitings, flat fish, etc, unless you had prior knowledge of the previous nights catches.
Cloud cover broke around 20.00hrs to reveal a full moon rising in the east, which did not help the already poor conditions. Luke Davis (Jnr) put himself forward as a Memorable Moment trophy contender, casting his extremely bright (& expensive) blue LED rod tip light into the sea off the west pier, to the amusement of the others, illuminating the sea bed (½hr) reminiscent of the film Cocoon, until it became water logged.
No less than 8 different fish species were weighed-in from 10 of the successful 16 seniors + 2 Jnrs fishing, keeping Bernard busy at the scales. 3 codlings, 3 billets, 3 LSD’s, 2 whitings, 2 flat fish, 1 rockling, 1 blegg & 1 pollock. Rob Allison weighed-in the pollock 4 lb 02 oz. All LSD’s were returned alive after the weigh-in.
Man of the Match Chris McCarthy (last season as a Jnr) weighed 2 codlings 7 lb 04 oz for HBoFish, his HFish 5 lb 01 oz taking both prizes. Chris’ HFish, an ounce shy of the current Monthly Sweep HFish held, by recently promoted, Paul Kilpatrick
5 lb 02 oz (Sun 5th Mar) after Matty Lamb’s fish of 5 lb 14 oz (also Sun 5th Mar) could not entered due to late payment (there’s a Top Tip there).
Matty Lamb, current championship leader, laid claim to a WSAA Record with his LSD 2 lb 10 oz, equally Rob Allison’s catch 6th Jan 2013.
Well done to Paul Short on coming 6th at Hornsea SAC ‘Any Fish Anywhere’ match, fishing 10-4pm, catching a skate 1.625Kg (41cm across its wings & 85 cm long) winning a rod rest. Andy Crowe, Scarborough was joint 10th.
Results:- 25 lb 11 oz (Av 1 lb 10 oz)

16.00 hrs Sandsend beach, high water 17.48 hrs, 5.6 metres
Sunset as seen from Whitby west
Colin Stainthorpe - 5 lb 13 oz
High water 17.48 hrs, 5.6 metres, 1027 mbar, 9°C
Another fine day prior to the arrival of storm Stella, dominated by high pressure off the west coast of France. NNWesterly swell 2ft, decreasing with the ebb tide and opposing SWesterly wind. Water was crystal clear, and the waning near full Worm moon did not rise until 21.00hrs, shielded by low cloud on the horizon. The wind grew in strength for an hour at the start of the match then faded to nothing.
Sixteen seniors and two juniors were fishing the 3hr match. Beaches, piers and cliffs were the marks for the first hour until the tide ebbed enough to gain access to cut off points opening up fishing options thereafter.
Fish bites, if you were lucky enough to have one, were few and far between. Bernard Vasey reported catching 6 codlings, and I flat fish, all undersized. Even the whitings seem to have moved on, likewise the flat fish.
First to the scales was Colin Stainthorpe to take his 4th HFish win 5 lb 13 oz codling, also takes lead in the HFish Monthly Sweep. Man of the Match Matty Lamb continues to find the fish, 1 billet and 4 LSD fish 8 lb 11½ oz. None of his LSD fish broke the 2 lb mark, however the billet weighed 1 lb 09 oz. Matty extends his lead over Brian Harland 12 lb 08 oz. The biggest mover on the Leader Board is James Jamsy Moore, up to 8th from 11th. Only 10 lb 09 oz deficit to 7th place Dave Perrett.
Just 4 matches left of the season:-
Fish Count:-
Brian Harland still leads 110.
Matty Lamb close behind on 98 fish
Best Aggregate:-

James Jamsy Moore New WSAA record specimen LSD - 2 lb 11½ oz

Davis & Moore claim 3 specimen fish
Dave Ward - 6 lb 03 oz
High water 20.18 hrs, 4.7 metres, 1002 mbar, 7°C
After another fine sunny day on the NEast coastline dominated by a high pressure system, the evening’s 4hr match started in daylight. The long distance NNEasterly swell 4-6ft was not strong enough to keep pace with the flood tide, leading to periods of calm followed by doubled up swell sets. Once the ebb took a hold the swells became more regular. Water colour varied greatly from mark to mark, from brackish grey to well coloured with some bladder rack weed fouling lines. The strong offshore SWesterly wind did not ease as forecasted, at times casting was hampered.
Cloud cover was very light, and as Paul Dryden would say, not an ideal night for star gazing but it would pass the time, as fish bites were few and far between for some. Thankfully no moon light made for a dark nights fishing from 19.30 hrs onwards.
The Leader Board, being so closely fought this season, saw 20 seniors, and 2 juniors fishing, of whom 15 returning with fish. No less than 3 new WSAA specimen fish were weighed-in. Overseen by weigh master Bernard Vasey, Luke Davis (Jnr) claimed 2 new Junior specimen fish - pouting 1 lb 03½ oz & LSD 1 lb 14 oz. And then seniors crowded the weigh pan as James Jamsy Moore claimed the senior LSD specimen fish 2 lb 11½ oz beating Rob Allison & Matty Lamb into joint second by 1½ oz
Stuart Swales, early to the scales with what we thought would be the HFish of the night, a codling 3 lb 03 oz, closely followed by Paul Kilpatrick 3 lb 02½ oz. Getting close to ‘time’ and Dave Ward returned, 2 fish, an LSD & codling for a combined weight of 7 lb 07 oz, a fine codling 6 lb 03 oz gave him his 1st HFish win, and a reason to smile.
Man of the Match, with his 2nd HBoFish win Mike Saunders weighed 6 LSD’s - 11 lb 10 oz reported he should have had 9 more but they were not hooked well enough. He was using a pennel rig, bottom hook 3/0, & a 1/0 circle above. On Friday night come Saturday morning Mike had had a session in Bridlington catching a 4 lb bass & a 6 lb 14 oz skate.
The evenings weigh-in saw no less than 16 LSD’s, 9 rocklings, 4 codlings, 3 poutings, and 2 billets for the best weight for March {to date} 52 lb 12 oz some 10 lb better than Sunday 5th March.
Just 2 movers on the Leader Board, Bernard Vasey, passing Andrew Cass into 10th & Ben Laws passing Rob Allison into 4th place. Matty Lamb maintains a healthy lead 12 lb 03 oz over Brian Harland with just 3 matches left.
Both Mike Saunders & Dave Ward now lead the Monthly Sweeps.
Presentation evening menus have now been given out {with rebate notes}, could members please make their choices and return them to Dave Perrett with the correct money ASAP.

Sandsend beach high water 11.03 hrs
Niki McCourt - 3 lb 01 oz
Low water 17.39 hrs, 2.5 metres, 1013 mbar, 6°C
Rain, and did it!! Every anglers worst nightmare for a match, 5mm was forecast, and it started at 17.30 hrs. NEasterly swell 4-6 ft, no colour for the all flood match. ESEasterly wind 20mph with gusts of 30mph made for very unpleasant conditions for the 19 seniors and 2 juniors.
Match started at 19.00 hrs and by 19.20hrs some were already questioning themselves, packing up and moving marks, as the conditions were horrendous. Hail followed the rain as the temperature dropped. Clothing was tested to the max in the first hour or so. No doubt some were dreaming of ‘sofa hole’. 20.45hrs and the skies started to clear, the wind dropped as did the swell, not strong enough to keep pace with the flood.
Eight seniors managed 11 fish - 6 codlings, 2 LSD, 2 rocklings, and a billet to weigh-in for 19 lb 03 oz. Bernard Vasey wasn’t exactly ‘rushed’ at the scales, giving Ben Laws time to question the teeth or lack of, in a lesser spotted dogfish [LSD], as one of his fish had whilst the other didn’t.
Man of the Match Denis Thompson 2 codlings 4 lb 01 oz for his 5th HBoFish win. Niki McCourt was over the moon to take HFish of the night 3 lb 01 oz, his 1st this season.
3rd place Denis Thompson closes the deficit to Brian Harland, now 2 lb 09 oz as the top 2 didn’t weigh-in. Ben Laws extended the gap to Rob Allison 2 lb 12 oz. The only 2 movers on the Leader Board 1) Andrew Cass moves into the last trophy position of 10th place from Bernard Vasey. Next in line for Andrew, only a 7 oz deficit 9th place Danny Middlemas. 2) Stuart Swales passes Paul Short for 16th place.
Just 2 matches left, and it is all still very close to call, and as they say “You have to be in it, to win it.”
Tight lines.

15.54 hrs high water, 5.4 metres
Weigh-in
Matty retains lead
Low water 22.16 hrs, 1.1 metres, 1028 mbar, 6°C
High pressure 1023mb, first day of British Summer Time and Whitby & the surrounding areas were packed with people enjoying the fine weather. The sea state was flat, calm and colourless, a gentle Easterly cross onshore breeze did bring a slight chill as the sun set.
The penultimate match the season, an all ebb scratching match. Fishing down to low water (1.1m) meant members could reach & fish the tangle beds in the hope of picking up a codling. But codlings are scarce close inshore and Lesser Spotted Dogfish would be the main target species. The LSD did not start to bite until it became properly dark, well into the last hour of the match. Mackerel baits, on a small pennel rig combo, the LSD bites were finicky, and you had to be patient until they really pulled away ensuring they were well hooked. Many bites were missed due to being impatient.
Of the 19 seniors & 2 juniors, only 10 seniors managed a weigh-in. Bernard Vasey kept a tight book, ensuring weights were to the ½ oz in case there were ties. 9 LSD, 5 billets, 2 rocklings and 2 codlings 25 lb 14 oz. Man of the match Brian Harland weighed 2 LSD - 3 lb 15 oz for his 6th win (the most wins to date), whilst Ben Laws won his 5th HFish of the night, codling 2 lb 02½ oz. All LSD were returned to the water alive.
Danny Middlemas reported losing a ‘good’ fish, became fast on retrieval, gave it slack line by releasing the bail arm. As it pulled away he returned the bail arm, as opposed to using the drag. The sudden stop in free flow of line lead to it snapping, fish lost.
Only 2 movers on the Leader Board - Andrew Cass & Jason Ebison both up one place. Brian Harland has closed the gap to leader Matty Lamb to 9 lb 08 oz
Most Improved Angler - members can now submit their votes.
Members are reminded that payment for their presentation evening meal must be given to Treasurer Dave Perrett on Wednesday if they have not already done so.
Tight lines for Wednesday night.
Results:- 25 lb 14 oz (Av 1 lb 07 oz)

Sandsend beach 17.00 hrs, just before high water
Season ends on LSD high
High water 17.51 hrs, 5.9 metres, 1028 mbar, 13°C
Last match of the season, high pressure, and a growing NNEasterly sea 2-3ft which was strong enough to overcome the large ebb. On the beach, there was colour, as the high tide waves had washed the clay cliff. Elsewhere the water was crystal clear. Yet another scratching, all ebb match, places to be gained or lost, so any weigh-in was welcome.
Moderate offshore SSWesterly wind blew the heavy cloud over which threatened rain. Thankfully it past and rained out at sea. BST & the heavy cloud cover meant it was properly dark just after 20.30hrs and then fish started to bite, albeit bait robbers 4-6” codlings.
A good turn out yet again with 18 seniors and 2 juniors fishing. Members who had fish were slow to the scales, and at one point it was assumed by those waiting at the scales to witness the final weigh-in, there wasn’t to be a weigh-in. But with 10mins to spare, they all arrived. Bernard Vasey & Peter Horbury soon got them all weighed-in. Man of the match Mike Saunders (the LSD master) 3 LSD 6 lb 09 oz, his 3rd HBoFish win. Mike also had HFish 2 lb 07 oz, his 2nd HF win.
This is the first time in WSAA history that the weigh-in was all Lesser Spotted Dogfish (14).
The weigh-in made no difference to the Top 10 and the only movers were Dave Ward & Mike Saunders. Matty Lamb sealed his Championship win over Brian Harland by 14 lb 05 oz.
Just a thought, cast your mind back to Match 5 Wed 12th Oct 2016. Stuart Swales inadvertently locked his van keys in the van, meaning both he & Brian (with fish) missed the weigh-in.

Mike Saunders - HBoFish - 11 lb 10 oz - Sun 19th Mar
