Richard Deadman had a nightmare night, first cast and the reel/worm dirve had seized. 1 mile walk back to his van. Hammer & screw driver to free reel seat & fit spare reel. Then spare reels' worm froze and reel refused to rotate on this reel. Borrowed a reel from Peter Horbury & fished the night without a bite!

A night to forget for many - Dave Smith forgot to put batteries in his head torch
Rich Deadman's fix spool worm drive seizes #again Both Dave Perrett & Danny Middlemas have their bags blown over by the wind, except Danny looses all his bait, took 15 mins to find his flask & had to share Brian Harland's bait for the rest of the match. James Moore, struggling with the flu underestimates the effort req'd to go up Goldsborough, via holly bush, and was too late to drive Dave Ward {with 4 fish estimated at 15½ lb} to make the weigh-in. Hopefully it will not cost Dave in the long run. Lesson learnt, as they say.

Low water 20.11 hrs, 2.4 metres, 1002 mbar, 12°C
Sunday nights 4 hr match started in daylight, members going straight to their chosen marks having already registered on Wednesday. BST ends Sunday 29th October. Fishing 2hrs either side of low water, flat calm sea state with little to no colour did not fill anyone with enthusiasm. Condition, as they say, were the same for all, with a 5lb match average req’d for the season some would be disappointed trying to keep pace.
Tail end of hurricane Lee currently dominating the weather, soon to be followed by Irma. Wind was a warm SSWesterly moving further Westerly, increasing in speed, thankfully much later than forecast, 9pm making bite detection harder. Heavy drizzle for the first hour soon past as did the heavy cloud cover.
Twenty two members joined anglers from St Mary’s & Saltburn clubs also fishing their club matches. Members reported returning many undersized fish, confirming the opinion 2017/2018 is going to be a small fish season. As Wednesday, fresh peeler being the bait of choice. Fish bites, slow for the ebb, did however increase with the flood tide. Baits were quickly ‘crabbed off’, increasing from 3, to 4 casts an hour upped the odds. Members out on the open scaurs reported a bigger ebb than forecast, aided by the offshore winds.
Bernard Vasey & James Gilpin were kept busy at the scales as 16 members weighed-in 35 assorted fish, 24 codlings, 6 rocklings, 3 whitings, 1 flat fish and a billet for 37 lb 08 oz.
HFish of the night fell to Colin Stainthorpe, a codling, 2 lb 09 oz in a bag of 5 for 6 lb 14 oz now tops the Leader Board.
Bernard Vasey, Man of the Match HBoFish 7 lb 06 oz (4) taking him to 5th on the Leader Board.
Knockout draws will take place after Wednesday nights 3 hr match, Fleece, Church St.
Results:- 37 lb 08 oz (Av 1 lb 02 oz)

High water, afternoon walk with Aussie Sandsend beach
Perrett's 7 reasons to be cheerful
Dave Perrett
Low water 22.15hrs, 1.5 metres, 1017 mbar, 12°C
Thankfully the forecasted strong winds and heavy rainfall held off until midnight, the 3-4ft of NNWesterly swell never arrived for Wednesday nights 3hr match. Sea state therefore was nearly flat calm. Close to shore colour soon dropped out with the fast ebbing tide. What HW swell there was, was not strong enough to overcome the ebb which by LW was larger than predicted. Probably aided by the increasing wind WSWesterly & high pressure. Although the wind strength increased during the match, with some gusting, it was not enough to hamper casting.
Heavy cloud cover, made for a dark nights fishing, with the early light drizzle soon passing. Baits were soon ‘crabbed off’, so as Sunday, increasing to 4 casts an hour hopefully to improve chances of some bait being left to tempt a bite. Fish bites were scarce for many, slow & finicky, playing with the bait and not taking it down, ‘smash & grab’.
Twenty five members fished, with 17 returning to the scales in jubilant mood, with fish, predominantly codlings. Dave Perrett, earlier than usual to the scales, with good reason, was the big surprise, and Man of the Match on such a poor night - 7 codlings - 8 lb 12 oz. Reporting, ‘I should have had more’. Dropping 2 better fish, of the 4lb/5lb stamp, off early in the match. James Gilpin weighed a 14½ oz slinky rockling (which if it had been fatter would have been over a lb), was an impressive length. Ben Laws & Andrew Cass landed eels, in Cassy’s case 1 lb 03 oz - both returned to the harbour alive after the weigh-in.
Members retired to the comfort of the Fleece for welcome hot soup & crusty bread provided by Carla, the Fleece landlady. Many thanks. Jason Ebison & Bernard Vasey, overseen by Treasurer Dave Perrett & Secretary Peter Horbury, did the draws for the Singles & Doubles Knockouts.
Results:- 37 fish - 40 lb 11 oz (Av 1 lb 02 oz)

Denis smashes WSAA Bass record - 5 lb 09½ oz
High water 18.38 hrs, 5.8 metres, 1025 mbar, 13°C
Beautiful ‘summers’ day on the north east coast, little cloud cover, plenty of sunshine. 3-5ft of coloured Northerly swell, gentle SSEasterly wind 4mph, 13°C the only downside, it did not get dark until well after 19.00hrs. Fish bites were scarce until then, and even then they were timid, playing with the bait.
Twenty six members were ‘out & about’, joining other clubmen, some members not starting until after 19.00hrs for the all ebb match due to work commitments, parking problems & daylight. Weed, fine grass, became a problem fouling lines. Fresh peelers definitely out fished frozen, as anglers with, out-fished those without, was both frustrating & embarrassing.
Bernard, Jason & James were very busy at the scales as 21 members waited patiently for their turn. Denis Thompson got to the scales just before Dave Perrett, drawing the attention and praise from all, when he placed a 5 lb 09½ oz bass on the pan. Breaking the WSAA Bass Record, previously held since 3rd Dec 2008 by Peter Horbury 2 lb 15 oz (well done Denis). Denis added another 5 codlings in the pan, for a bag of 12 lb 01 oz. His record bass taking HF of the night & season to date.
Dave Perrett, next up, methodically placed 6 codlings & a rockling in the pan for 16 lb 05 oz, his second win in a row, now leads HBoF to date and tops the Leader Board averaging 4 lb/match.
All in all the best weigh-in 68 codlings, 8 rocklings 1 bass, 1 whiting, 1 LSD & 1 eel for 119 lb 02 oz.
3 double figure bags.
Results:- 119 lb 02 oz (Av 1 lb 08 oz)

High water 20.54 hrs, 5.2 metres, 1015 mbar, 13°C
Sea state for Wednesday nights 3 hr evening match, flat calm, and crystal clear - a scratching match. WSWesterly wind 5mph grew in strength throughout the match. A cloudless night, thankfully no moonlight, reports of an Aurora Borealis later in the night, was ideal for some star gazing to pass the time as bites were few & far between.
Twenty one members were fishing, one or two travelling* further afield in search of a ‘better’ fish. Fishing over high water, piers & cliff marks were popular. No reports of weed.
Despite the poor conditions 15 members returned with a collection of species - 19 codlings, 8 billets, 3 rocklings, 1 pollock, 1 LSD, 1 pouting, and a whiting (34) 41 lb 05 oz
James ‘Jamsy’ Moore, Man of the Match (6) 8 lb 04 oz also with the HF of the night, a pollock 3 lb 05 oz caught 2nd cast.
Danny Middlemas reported ‘dropping off’ a better fish mid match.
Dave Perrett & Denis Thompson, both with fish, now separated by 1 lb, have a lead of 10 lb over third place James Moore.
In the Singles Knockouts Preliminary Round:-
Paul Short (2) 2 lb 09 oz beat Mike Saunders (2) 2 lb 08 oz.

Afternoon dog walk with Aussie on Sandsend beach high water 13.35 hrs
Gilpin through to Round 1
Is it really mid October, as the North east coast basked in glorious sunshine 18°C, the calm before the storm? Tail end of hurricane Ophelia being due to hit the west coast Monday. Sea state flat calm, crystal clear water [ to 2ft ] was far from ideal, another scratching match. Fishing 4hrs, first hour in daylight, some heavy cloud cover at times and thankfully no moonlight. Very gentle SSWesterly wind, by match end, 22.00hrs it was still 15°C
Fish bites were timid, 2 tugs and nothing, despite downsizing hooks with smaller baits. Even still baits were coming back untouched even by crabs. Straight baits, cocktails, were all tried & at the best time, the flood, did not improve the fishing.
Seventeen members {20 fishing, 19 entered} returned to the scales with 32 assorted fish, giving the poorest weigh-in this season 29 lb 07 oz - Av 15 oz / fish. 17 codlings, 11 rocklings, 2 billets, 1 pollock, 1 flat fish. Dave Hambley HBoF & HF, a pollock 4 lb 02 oz
James Gilpin & Ben Laws [paired for Doubles K/O] were fishing their Singles Knockout preliminary round, James won with 2 lb 03 oz (2) caught both his fish after 9pm whereas Ben caught his only codling 1 lb 04 oz at the beginning of the match.
Singles Knockout Round 1 this coming Wednesday 18th Oct, also the Doubles Preliminary round will be fished.

Top tip - just like the lotto, you need to be entered to win it!
Results:- 32 fish - 29 lb 07 oz (Av 0 lb 15 oz)

Brian Harland 1 6 lb 04 oz (5)
Low water 22.18 hrs, 1.5 metres, 1015 mbar, 12°C
Hurricane Ophelia past over the west coast of Scotland creating some welcome long distance Northerly swell for Wednesday nights 3hr match. Plenty of colour but weed was an issue on a number of marks. During the all ebb match the swell sets were consistent, no surges and grew throughout to LWater. The mild, 12°C, SEasterly wind 12-17mph did not hinder anglers.
Heavy cloud cover with the odd rain shower, all in all perfect conditions for match & pleasure anglers alike. Members were spread far & wide within the boundaries, some having better success than others, many undersized codlings returned.
Bernard & James were kept busy at the scales weighing-in 61 codlings, 4 rocklings, for 19 of 22 successful members who fished - 126 lb 15 oz [Av 1 lb 15 oz]
Man of the Match Brian Harland 5 codlings 16 lb 04 oz, unfortunately, his HF 4 lb 10 oz was beaten by Jason Ebison
5 lb 10 oz. Jason’s fish takes the lead in HF of the season to date by ½oz from Denis Thompson’s bass 8th Oct. Brian reported switching marks to avoid the weed.

High water 18.23 hrs, 5.5 metres, 1013 mbar, 10°C
Storm Brian inbound, strong 28-37mph Westerly winds, swinging WNW during Sunday nights 4hr club match. Sea state, white horses, growing NWesterly 3-5ft with plenty of close to shore colour. Clear skies for most of the evening, by far the coldest night this season. Rain was forecast, thankfully it held off, and no moonlight.
High water, all ebb match, started in daylight, members headed for shelter, cliff marks were popular with mixed results and disappointment. Piers also popular but anglers took a battering from the relentless wind hampering bite detection. Weed was a problem causing members to move marks.
Never a good sign to catch a fish first cast, and in daylight, as it gets your hopes up for a good session. Leading to blinkered vision and disappointment when you know the conditions are not ideal and don’t have another bite all night. The match Av/fish equals the seasons Av/fish 1 lb 07 oz many small fish still being caught & returned, overall a few better fish showing.
The overall weigh-in was surprisingly better than many forecast, only 5 of 25 members fishing blanked. Bernard, Jason & James were kept busy - 60 fish, 46 codlings, 13 r/lings, and a slippery eel (returned alive) graced the scales 87 lb 11 oz.
Two double figure bags, Man of the Match, new member Paul Harding 16 lb 01 oz (9) his HF 3 lb 04 oz not enough to beat Andrew Cass 3 lb 11 oz into claiming HF of the night, Stu Swales was nearest at 3 lb 08 oz
In 2nd place Rob Allison, 13 lb 09 oz (8). Congratulations Rob on winning the Bedlington Open £500 1st place prize 16 lb 08 oz (5). Rob also took £130 for 1st & 2nd HF 6 lb 11 oz & 5 lb 09 oz respectively. Ben Laws & Denis Thompson also fished the match, Ben reported coming 6th or 7th, and Denis managed 2 mops.
Hopefully a change at the top of the Leader Board for Denis Thompson will make amends for the Open day’s fishing, nudging his way to the top 6 lb 02 oz ahead of Dave Perrett.
Wednesday night and the Doubles Knockout Quarter Finals are to be fished, see web site for further details.
Results:- 87 lb 11 oz (Av 1 lb 07 oz)

Brian Harland
High water 20.05 hrs, 5.1 metres, 1021 mbar, 10°C
Penultimate match for October prior to the end of BST this Sunday 29th when the clocks go back an hour. Half term and the weather is extremely mild, bright sunshine, gentle WSWesterly breeze 14°C. Flat calm sea state with little to no colour, far from ideal fishing conditions, a scratching match for the Doubles Knockout quarter finals.
Little to no cloud cover and the temp dropped to 10°C, the evening sky was lit up by the Halloween celebrations at Whitby Abbey Illuminations (open until Tues 31st Oct).
Come 22.00hrs & there was a steady flow of members to the scales to keep Bernard & James busy. 34 assorted fish weighed-in - 16 codlings, 9 r/lings, 4 flat fish, 2 whitings, 2 billets and an eel. The eel caught by Paul Short, an ounce shy of the current record held by James Gilpin Sun 1st Nov 2015.
From the 25 members fishing, only 16 managed a weigh-in, some reported not having a bite all night. Man of the Match Brian Harland 3 codlings 5 lb 04 oz, and HF falling to James ‘King Cod’ Gilpin 2 lb 10½ oz not exactly a record breaking weigh-in but much better than expected from the conditions.
Doubles Knockout results:-

Low water 17.07 hrs, 2.7 metres, 1030 mbar, 7°C
End of BST and Sunday nights 4 hr match started in darkness, and raining! Sea state, a growing Northerly swell 8-12ft, plenty of colour, wind a strong and gusting NNWesterly 23-27mph. Rain showers were intermittent and cold due to the wind chill.
A growing sea is not ideal, small tide, slow flood lead to surging. The swells doubled up & overtook the incoming tide. Pushing right up the beach/rock marks, and then drawing further back sucking end tackle into snags. Finding that mark were black water was visible, surging limited with little drag was not easy.
Weed was a problem throughout the match. Both heavy kelp stalks and fine green & purple grass fouled lines. Many pleasure and match anglers were out fishing side by side, sadly quite a few were ill equipped, and lacked the common sense to use grip leads, fouling member’s lines on cliff marks fishing flat scaurs as their lines washed in. Knit one, pearl one.
Consequently the catch was not all that impressive as expected, with only two double figure bags from the 24 members fishing, of whom only 17 returning with fish. Man of the Match, his first win Dave Ward 12 lb 05 oz (5) had the HF of the night at 5 lb 09 oz. Paul Kilpatrick (6) 11 lb 11 oz. Nice to see a few better fish in the weigh-in 5 lb 08 oz Dave Hambley, 4 lb 09 oz Rob Allison.
Angler of the Month Denis Thompson (31) 48 lb 04 oz has a lead of 6 lb 05 oz over Dave Perrett, also 7 lb 05 oz clear of 3rd place Rob Allison.

Low water 20.03 hrs, 1.8 metres, 1013 mbar, 10°C
The sea state from Sunday had all but disappeared save 1ft [max] long distance Northerly swell as the mild weather returned. Plenty of close to shore colour for the twenty five members fishing 1 down & 2 up on a slack tide. Wind strength grew during the evening 17mph with gusts 28 mph WSWesterly. Fast moving cloud cover was enough to shield the near full moon.
No reports of weed problems but masses have been deposited along the HW line. Wind was a problem out on the open scaurs pulling lines tight, and end tackle into snags. Fish bites, {if you were lucky enough to have them} were timid, couple of tugs and no return, tight lines due to the wind to blame.
Members were very slow to return to the scales with tales of woe, too fast a retrieve, pulling hook out of fish & dropping fish off at your feet. Forgetting to put batteries in a head torch, realising half way to Scarborough. Fixed spool worm drive ceasing, to shattered end-eye fraying a spool of nylon. Sharing your bait with a hapless partner. A night to forget for many*. *See top tip
Never the less 17 members managed ‘a weigh-in’, one stood out from the rest. Denis Thompson, Man of the Match with his first win, weighing-in the first spragg of the season - 7 lb 09½ oz and also takes pole position in HF of the season. His bag (4 codlings) 12 lb 05 oz. Both weights set the bar for the Monthly Sweep. Denis reported catching the spragg on his second cast of the night. Denis has extended his lead over 2nd place Dave Perrett to 16 lb with Paul Short closing in in 3rd place.
In the last of the Singles Knockouts:-
Paul Kilpatrick 1 lb 11 oz (1) beat Jason Ebison 0 lb 00 oz
* Top Tip:- from 2 members no less.
In windy conditions
1) Ensure your rucksack, and its contents are nailed down.
2) Ensure ‘all’ your thawing bait, like your rucksack, do NOT get blown off the rocks into the sea behind your back.
3) Have a brightly coloured ‘floating’ bait flask {with reflective tape}, as this aids retrieval {15 mins}, even if its empty!
Results:- 33 fish - 46 lb 06 oz (Av 1 lb 06 oz) 18 codlings, 8 r/lings, 4 whitings, 2 billets & 1 flat fish.

Sandsend beach 15.00hrs, strong NWesterly wind & raining
Denis' double figure HBoF takes seasons lead
Denis Thompson 5 lb 00½ oz
Low water 22.47 hrs, 0.9 metres, 1020 mbar, 4°C
Filey Open {9am-2pm}, bright sunshine, relatively calm sea state, then the NWesterly wind picked up and the day turned very inclement. The sea state grew all day NWesterly 5ft, heavy rain showers with periods of sunshine, making for some spectacular rainbows, the temp dropped well into single figures.
Come 6pm the cloud cover had all but past, a near full Beaver moon shone brightly, too brightly! Plenty of colour in the water for the all ebb 4hr match. Weed was a big issue on many marks, a thick soup of kelp stalks, bladder rack and fine green & purple grasses. Standing at the waterline, rods held high in an attempt to avoid the surf riding weed was the only way to fish, and even then, after 10mins lines were fouled with the braid hugging fine grasses. I am reliable told those fishing with mono do not suffer with the fine grasses as much, as the mono is not as abrasive as braid. Wind strength dropped, was nowhere near as strong nor gusting as forecasted, still cold on wet hands though.
Members were slow to the weigh-in, to be expected with long walks from open scaurs on the biggest ebb of the month. Denis Thompson was first at the scales, for good reason. 9 codlings topped the scales at 20 lb 02 oz - now the HBoFish this season, which included the HF of the night 5 lb 00½ oz. Next Paul Short with the 2nd HF of the night - 4 lb 01 oz in his bag (6) 8 lb 15 oz. Paul Kilpatrick left it late 7 codlings, 1 whiting took 2nd place 13 lb 01 oz.
59 codlings, 5 r/lings, and a whiting for 109 lb 09 oz, giving only the 3rd best weigh-in so far, an Av. fish weight - 1 lb 11 oz, four ounces higher than the seasons Av. fish to date. Overall a poor weigh-in for a 4hr match only 36 lb/hr, whereas Wed 18th Oct gave 42 lb/hr in a 3hr match, and Sun 8th Oct 39 lb/hr.
Of the 23 members fishing, 17 managed a weigh-in, sadly 2 members, with fish, missed the weigh-in, leaving it too late to get back to their car - lesson learnt, as they say.
Looking at the Leader Board, Denis has extended his lead over 2nd place Dave Perrett to 31 lb, Paul Short, in 3rd place, has a deficit of 3 lb 04 oz to Dave. From 2nd to 9th it is very close, some only ounces apart. Paul Kilpatrick has jumped from 19th to 11th equal with Danny Middlemas.
Wednesday night {8th Nov} the Singles Knockouts Quarter Finals will be fished. Sea state dropping to 1ft maybe 2ft NWesterly.
Reminders
1- Take your Open match raffle prize(s) to Paula & Malcolm at Hook, Line & Sinker, Church St. please.
2- Paula & Malcolm also have a stock of ‘fish measures’ for those that still don’t have one.
3- Please text-in if you are not fishing/fishing.
4- Text-in if not returning to the weigh-in.
5- Return to the scales having said you are fishing & didn’t have a match entry fee paid & settle dues.

Sandsend beach afternoon dog walk 14.00hrs
Never a good sign to find small fish washed up on the beach, the 'fat' whiting I later caught were full of them.
Never a good sign to find small fish washed up on the beach, the 'fat' whiting I later caught were full of them.
Malc's first win
High water 18.47 hrs, 5.6 metres, 1025 mbar, 6°C
High pressure and the north east coast basked in sunshine but the temperature was barely into double figures. Sea state was flat calm save 1ft right at the shore edge. Crystal clear water for the all ebb 3hr evening ‘scratching’ match which started at HW.
Cloud cover was minimal, mainly high altitude at the start, no Aurora Borealis, unlike Tuesday night from the clear skies of Scotland. Come 20.20hrs, a very bright orange moon, resembling the Star Wars Death Star rose at sea.
The WSWesterly wind was cold, increasing in strength, as members followed the ebbing tide out into the open. Thicker cloud, bringing light rain showers, followed in the last ½hr of the match.
Singles Quarter Finals, turn out at the scales was good but of the 24 members fishing only 16 had fish to weigh-in. 30 whitings, 17 codlings, 7 billets, 5 flat fish & 5 r/lings 55 lb 08 oz giving an Av 14 oz/fish. With the arrival of whitings the seasons Av/fish has dropped to 1 lb 06 oz
Man of the Match, Malcolm Pitman 12 lb 15 oz (16) reported taking his 4 codlings in the first 4 casts, then the whitings (10) moved in, & took everything he cast out. Close 2nd Dave Ward 12 lb 11 oz (21).

Cassy first season win
4 plumb whitings from Malcolm
Low water 17.12 hrs, 2.4 metres, 1021 mbar, 4°C
Sunday morning started bright, but an icy NNWesterly wind was gathering speed, sea state was growing steadily. Come midday it was most inclement. Sea state forecasted to top 10 - 13ft Northerly. By 18.00hrs, match start, and many, many marks were unfishable, leading to those fishable marks being overrun with rods, pleasure & match anglers shared what fish were there between them. No reports of major weed problems, but it was there in the surf and caution had to be exercised.
Wind was a major factor, 29/35mph NNWesterly, in choice of mark for the all flood match. Sky was relatively clear, but soon clouded over and rain followed. Some had short heavy showers whilst others had constant rain. With a growing sea, and the catch forecast was low.
At the scales, turnout was low, many opted to ‘text in’, going straight home to warm up & dry out. Only 15 of the 27 fishing had fish to weigh-in, predominantly codling. 36 codlings, 4 whitings, 2 r/lings & 1 flat fish - 79 lb 03 oz
Man of the Match, with his first win of the season Andrew Cass 4 codlings, 14 lb 11 oz. Andrew didn’t have an easy evening, his first fish was ‘hung-up’ on a pellet & mooring line, and he had to wade out, waist deep to free his fish. Realising his phone & fags were in ‘open’ pockets, had to jump with every swell set. HFish of the night fell to Richard Deadman 5 lb 00 oz. Rob Taylor had a nice brace of codlings 4 lb 09 oz in his bag 11 lb 04 oz (4).
In the last Singles Knockout match between Paul Kilpatrick & Dave Smith, they will re-fish their match ASAP, both weighed-in 1 lb 14 oz, and there are no rules in place to decide otherwise ie fish Nos, or HF.
Next Sunday is our annual Open match all welcome.

14.00 hrs Sandsend beach
First win for Colin secures place in Doubles K/O final
Paul Short 2 lb 09½ oz
Low water 20.14 hrs, 1.9 metres, 1020 mbar, 6°C
The sea state from Sunday had died off completely. SSWesterly winds now opposed any remaining Northerly swell. Colour had all but dropped out, save a slight milkiness. Cloud cover was heavy, with the air heavy with moisture, a fog bank formed and moved in off the sea mid match.
The wind slowly eased mid match. Surprisingly the ebb was much larger than the predicted 1.9 metres, pushed further by the SSW wind and high pressure, to well under 1.0 metres. Giving members a chance to fish the tangle beds. The flood didn’t take hold until 21.00 hrs. Small fish bites, playing with the bait, teased members all match. Typically the fish ‘came-on’ as the flood pushed in just as it was time to pack up and head for the weigh-in.
Bernard, Jason and James were kept very busy at the scales, 20 members returning with meagre weigh-ins, sadly 4 members blanked. The overall individual weights, nothing startling, reflected the poor conditions. Colin Stainthorpe, Man of the Match with his first win, 3 codlings, 1 r/ling 5 lb 11 oz and the HF of the night 2 lb 09½ oz fell to Paul Short. Seasons ‘weigh-in’ has now past 1,000 lb from 712 fish Av 1 lb 07 oz

8am Sandsend beach 7 - 11 ft Northerly swell
George Horner receives Open trophy from Chairman William Atkinson
Low water 10.22 hrs, 1.3 metres, 1022 mbar, 4°C
One hundred and nineteen senior, two junior anglers (sadly this year no ladies) were competing for the first place prize of £500 sponsored by Wilf Noble Construction and Plant Hire, Ruswarp in Whitby Sea Anglers Associations 38th Annual Open.
With a further £300 & £200 for second & third place prizes from Hook, Line & Sinker, Thompson’s Diggers, James ‘Jamsy’ Moore, Shell Fisherman & bait supplies. Many thanks to our hostess Carla Smith, landlady of the Fleece, Church St. and her staff for their hospitality and hot food provided for all anglers.
Thanks also to Coso’s Tackle Supplies, Scarborough, Keith Sports, Saltburn & Halders Butchers. Special Placed prizes included £50 17th place prize from Java Café, Heaviest Flat Fish £35 from Mick Beedle Construction, and £25 for last place from Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc.
Sea state was 7 - 11ft Northerly swell growing throughout the 6hr match, fished from 10am until 4pm. There was plenty of colour in the water but a growing sea is far from ideal with many marks unfishable, and more became unfishable as the flood pushed in, anglers moved marks throughout the match. NWesterly wind 18/22mph slowly swung further into the West and thankfully decreasing in speed. Cloud cover was minimal, the bright sunshine did not help even for those on shaded marks. Temperature in the lower single figures made for a cold days fishing, wind chill on wet hands.
Once fishing it was difficult to determine ‘low water’ as the swell sets were surging throughout the match. Weed was a problem for many, not the quantity but for the hindrance, the extra drag it caused on lines pulling end tackle into snags.
Weigh Masters, James Gilpin, Bernard Vasey, and Chairman William Atkinson oversaw proceedings as James Hewitson kindly took photographs of the event, as only 30 successful anglers returned with fish.
In the Heaviest Fish Sweeps
1st John Joe Horner 8 lb 03 oz spragg beating his brother
George Horner into 2nd place, who landed 6 lb 12 oz cod
Both winning £140 & £71 respectively.
Heaviest Flat Fish, sponsored by Mick Beedle Construction, was won by Paul Kilpatrick - 12 oz
The total weigh-in of 85 cod, 1 billet and 1 flat fish - 195 lb 15 oz giving a 2 lb 04 oz average fish weight.
After the anglers received their/chosen prizes, the table was reset with an enormous selection of raffle prizes from which I do not think anyone went home without something. Many thanks to all our sponsors, if not already mentioned, and to all for competing and hopefully we will see you all next year.

Bernard Vasey 12th mar 1997 - 20 lb 06 oz
High water 18.02 hrs, 5.3 metres, 978 mbar, 13°C
The weather is/was in turmoil, from icy Northerlies to mild 13°C SWesterlies. There was still some long distance Northerly swell 1-2ft for Wednesday nights 3hr match. It was strong enough to overcome the all ebb match with some believing the swell was growing despite the strong off-shore wind. Water was thick with colour from recent heavy rain fall and Sundays 7-11ft N swell stirring up the seabed.
The wind was wicked, 33 mph SSW swinging SWesterly with gusts of 60mph, being off-shore the vortexes on the shoreline were strong and unpredictable. One minute you were buffeted from the left, next the right, and got stronger as anglers followed the fast ebbing tide into the open. Heavy cloud cover brought rain & lightning for ½hr at the match start. It soon past with patches of clear sky, however it started to rain heavier shortly before the match ended at 22.00hrs.
The wild weather did not put members off, a good turnout of 22 fishing but with members being slow to return it turned out to be a very poor weigh-in with many top rods blanking. Both Paul Kilpatrick & Dave Perrett reported catching undersized bass. Man of the Match, veteran Bernard Vasey, his second win to date HBoF 13 lb 02 oz (7) had the HF of the night 3 lb 09 oz
Bernard had set the scales up in the shelter of the Fleece’s yard, and had to look twice at the scales & fish, as new member Mike Winton weighed a plump 1 lb 04 oz whiting, thinking it was a codling at first glance. Colin Stainthorpe holds the current WSAA Record whiting 1 lb 12 oz caught on the 19th Feb 2014.

Sunday morning, bright, cold, frosty, high pressure dominating the weather, a growing NNWesterly swell 6-9ft with surfers gathering in Sandsend car park 9am. Bitterly cold westerly wind which slowly shifted SSWesterly by the end of the 4hr evening match. Water was thick with colour, it was also thick with weed, a hindrance for all, even on Whitby west pier.
Fishing 3hrs to the top of the tide, and an hour back 27 members joined many pleasure anglers already fishing. Not in the anglers favour was the bright ½ moon, high in the evening sky, slowly shielded by high altitude cloud, and by the end of the match, heavy cloud brought rain/heavy drizzle.
With a thick soup of weed in the surf, rods were held high, not in a rod rest & no chance to bait up a second trace. Concentration a must, dropping the rod tip for a bite resulted in picking up weed, and a lost fish. Not a night to forget your gloves, removing weed from end tackle & replacing lost end tackle is not pleasant with cold ‘wild chilled’ numb fingers.
Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison were very busy at the scales, for the 21 members returning weighed-in 51 codlings, 5 flat fish, 4 whitings, and 2 r/lings for 111 lb 06 oz (2nd best weigh-in this season) included 2 welcome ‘double figure’ bags. The first from Man of the Match, Ben Laws, his 1st win, 6 codlings 19 lb 06 oz his two best fish 5 lb 02 oz & 4 lb 07½ oz.

Paul Short reported snapping a fish off mid match, only for Brian Harland to become entangled in Paul’s lost line. Brian pulled in & retrieved the line, landing the attached codling 1 lb 04 oz. This was added to his weigh-in, once Dave Perrett had been consulted. All above board, the precedent set back in the 1980’s when Ian Russell did exactly the same.

Ste Swales clinches HF sweep
Ste Swales - 8 lb 09 oz
Low water 18.30 hrs, 2.3 metres, 1013 mbar, 3°C
Winter has arrived, high pressure to the NW of Scotland and a low pressure over Denmark made for 8-13ft NWesterly swell. Snow, sleet and hail showers had been falling all day. NNWesterly winds 24 - 32mph battered the coast line. Temperatures barely above 0°C made for a cold nights fishing.
Disheartening when you watch 3 rods pulling fish, after fish, out of a mark, before 7pm that we had intended to fish having arrived in plenty of time. The straw that broke the camel’s back for me, I said it last night, my last season. Dave Perrett was only commenting the same on Sunday night, "why go fishing on a Sunday or Wednesday night, there are other days of the week lol." As we got pushed off, 1 of said anglers fished at the 'cut off' and a large pieces of cliff fell, making said angler run for safety. Speaking to Bernard, he recounted having never seen anyone fish there, it's dangerous.
Clear skies, a bright ¾ moon was quickly was shielded by clouds followed by rain, inclement. Swell sets were regular, plenty of colour, no reported weed problems. Brian Harland reported losing a good fish on a snapped snood trying to play the fish over a shale reef.
Of the 23 members fishing 17 weighed-in 24 codlings, 3 billets, and 2 r/lings. Very well done to Ste Swales HBoFish, HF of the night sweep, and HF of the month, a fine red spragg of 8 lb 09 oz
In the only Singles K/Out:-
Colin Stainthorpe 4 lb 05 oz (3) beat Dave Ward 14 oz (1)
Paul Kilpatrick V James Gilpin
Denis Thompson took HBoF sweep 5th Nov 20 lb 02 oz

4 wrasse - 388 fish, 585 lb 00 oz
Results:- 24 fish - 49 lb 02 oz (Av 1 lb 10 oz)

Brian Harland 9 lb 14 oz (5)
Low water 21.46 hrs, 1.0 metres, 1029 mbar, 3°C
High pressure again dominating the weather, bright sunshine during the day, temperatures in single figures, a chilly day for those fishing Cloughton’s Open. Sea state, Northerly with plenty of colour, had been growing all day. By HW at 15.30 hrs it was 3-5ft. NNWesterly wind 12 mph, no cloud cover to shield December’s ‘super moon’ which had risen at 16.13 hrs, rising to 59° above the horizon, and it was ‘bright’.
Largest ebb of the month, and marks emptied very fast, members following onto open scaurs. Fish & end tackle retrieval got harder as thick kelp beds drained off. Swell strength had dropped off with the ebb. Masses of now rotting seaweed littered the high water line at RHB, Runswick & even Whitby’s beaches. Mumblings of “Too many Northerlies now”, with members saying ‘enough’, the fish are full of feed and just playing with baits.
Members were slow to the first weigh-in of December, of the 25 members fishing 19 weighed in 54 fish for 90 lb 11 oz catching 52 codlings, 1 billet & a r/ling Leaving it late, Paul Kilpatrick took Man of the Match, his first match win - 8 codlings - 12 lb 12 oz the only double figure bag. Brian Harland, was close - 5 codlings - 9 lb 14 oz.
HFish of the night Rob Allison - 5 lb 03½ oz. Rob had been fishing the Cloughton Open {HF match} came 6th - 4 lb 11 oz & 19th - 3 lb 01 oz. The match won by R Quinn 8 lb 11 oz
Rob’s fish 4 lb 11 oz is the first fish to be recorded for The David “Sten” Stonehouse Memorial Sandsend Trophy - Heaviest Fish out of Competition.
Paul & Rob have set the bar for December’s HBoF & HF Sweeps, with just 5 matches left before the Christmas break.

Jamsy 2 lb 10½ oz
High water 17.45 hrs, 5.8 metres, 1008 mbar, 10°C
Storm Caroline, low pressure (anticlockwise), inbound from the west of Ireland, increasing SSWesterly winds gave members a good battering in the 3hr evening match. Speeds in excess of 30 mph with gusts forecast to top 50 mph. Heavy cloud cover soon past, and a bright ¾ moon broke through. Fishing an all ebb match, starting 1¼ hrs after HW, sea state long distance growing Northerly swell with colour.
Chasing a fast ebbing tide the wind got fiercer once away from the shelter of the shoreline, blowing bags, tripods & rods away or over. Jason Ebison reported nearly losing his rod on a pier to a gust of wind as he prepared a second rig. Paul Kilpatrick lost a bag/wrap of fresh worm, thankfully near the end of the match. Disappointment for many, the weigh-in was poor for the 28 members fishing of whom only 16 graced the scales with 36 assorted fish. 18 codlings, 12 w/tings, 4 r/lings and 2 flat fish.
Man of the match, Andrew Cass, caught both his codlings in the last ½hr on worm & mussel. Past me earlier in the match and said he was going to whinge one out, lol. His HF 2 lb 09½ oz was beaten by James ‘Jamsy’ Moore 2 lb 10½ oz for HF of the match. Peter Horbury reported landing a 35cm bass (lip hooked & returned) in the first hour after landing his only codling on the second cast. Bite detection was seriously impaired by the wind, no reports of weed.
The Doubles Knockout Final was fished, Andrew Cass & Paul Short crowned champions beating Colin Stainthorpe & Chris McCarthy. 7 lb 12 oz (6) - V - 1 lb 02 oz (1)
WSAA welcomes new member Norman Middlemas who got himself onto the Leader Board on his first match.

Speeds in excess of 30 mph with gusts forecast to top 50 mph. Heavy cloud cover soon past, and a bright ¾ moon broke through. Fishing an all ebb match, starting 1¼ hrs after HW, sea state long distance growing Northerly swell with colour.
Chasing a fast ebbing tide the wind got fiercer once away from the shelter of the shoreline, blowing bags, tripods & rods away or over. Jason Ebison reported nearly losing his rod on a pier to a gust of wind as he prepared a second rig. Paul Kilpatrick lost a bag/wrap of fresh worm, thankfully near the end of the match. Disappointment for many, the weigh-in was poor for the 28 members fishing of whom only 16 graced the scales with 36 assorted fish. 18 codlings, 12 w/tings, 4 r/lings and 2 flat fish.
Man of the match, Andrew Cass, caught both his codlings in the last ½hr on worm & mussel. Past me earlier in the match and said he was going to whinge one out, lol. His HF 2 lb 09½ oz was beaten by James ‘Jamsy’ Moore 2 lb 10½ oz for HF of the match. Peter Horbury reported landing a 35cm bass (lip hooked & returned) in the first hour after landing his only codling on the second cast. Bite detection was seriously impaired by the wind, no reports of weed.
The Doubles Knockout Final was fished, Andrew Cass & Paul Short crowned champions beating Colin Stainthorpe & Chris McCarthy. 7 lb 12 oz (6) - V - 1 lb 02 oz (1)
WSAA welcomes new member Norman Middlemas who got himself onto the Leader Board on his first match.
Treasurer Dave Perrett is taking match entry fees £12 for the Christmas match Sunday 17th December, fishing 2 - 7pm weigh-in and Christmas meal at the Stakesby Arms.
Looking at the 'fish count', and Paul Short is leading with 60, and Jason Ebison has the best average fish at 2 lb 03 oz

High water 21.31 hrs, 5.1 metres, 984 mbar, 0°C
Low pressure 984mb and the weather has turned yet again, as it should be for December, wintery. With the temperature hardly above 0°C, the only thing missing on the NE coast was snow. Further inland snow was in abundance. NEasterly wind 20mph, the wind chill effect made it extremely cold on wet fingers baiting up, heavy cloud cover brought some snow flurries.
NEasterly swell 6 - 10ft, for the all flood match, far from ideal, limiting marks. Piers, cliffs and some sheltered beaches were marks of choice but heavy surging made some unfishable for periods of the 4hr match. Bigger fish do not come in to feed when it is so heavy, don’t like to be buffeted and thrown about in the surf. Reflected in the weigh-in Av 1 lb 10 oz
Last to the scales Mike Saunders, Man of the match, his first match win. Mike also landed the HF 6 lb 02½ oz and now leads in the HF Monthly Sweep. Mike reported starting 20/25 minutes late, and due to the ‘conditions’ had ‘pre baited’ rigs at home which paid off. Mike landed the 6 lb 02½ oz fish on his first cast, less than 5 mins in the water he was reeling it in. Mike reported losing a fish of similar size the next cast, twisting itself off the hook as he lifted it.
A steady flow of 18 successful members from 24 fishing, weighing-in 26 codlings, 1 billet, 1 r/ling, kept Bernard, James & Jason busy. Brian Harland, up until Mike arrived at the scales, had held the HF 3 lb 15 oz of the night. Bernard Vasey recorded a flounder of 1 lb 02 oz. Paul Kilpatrick currently holds the WSAA Record flounder 2 lb 03 oz which Paul recorded 25th February 1976.

12.39hrs High water heavy rain with an icy centre, even Aussie turned around once we reach Raithwaite beck.
Low water 18.51 hrs, 2.3 metres, 985 mbar, -1°C
The low pressure cold snap continued, sadly no snow, just heavy rain showers during the day which soon passed to reveal clear skies. Anglers enjoyed a Geminid meteor shower display until high altitude cloud moved in 21.00hrs. Sea state flat calm, save 1ft close to shore swell, little to no colour, made for a scratching match. All flood match on a very slack tide, members were spread far & wide in search of a weigh-in, some reported not having a bite all night, others reported just catching undersized billets.
Thankfully the Westerly wind did not reach the forecasted speeds, however it still cut you in two, icy cold 0°C at the start of the 3hr match, dropped to -1°C by 22.00hrs. Felt more like -5°C on the hands, feet and nose. Some fishing on the west pier facing directly into the westerly wind gave up as it was so cold & returned to the comfort of ‘sofa hole’.
Members were very slow to the weigh-in, and soon made off into the Fleece for hot soup, crusty bread, & the warmth of a traditional open fire. In total 24 assorted fish were weighed-in from 11 of the 24 fishing. In total 7 codlings, 12 whitings, 2 billets, 2 r/lings and a flat fish - 19 lb 09 oz - Av 13 oz - the worst weigh-in this season by far.
Man of the Match, with his second win Colin Stainthorpe, 4 mops for 4 lb 09 oz. Paul Kilpatrick weighed the HF 1 lb 08 oz. Rob Taylor weighed a large rockling 13 oz, not quite 1 lb 08 oz recorded by Dave Cass 16th Jan 1985.
Sunday 17th Dec WSAA annual Christmas match, members fishing 2pm - 7pm weigh-in Stakesby Arms 7pm - 8pm followed by a Christmas carvery, and presentation. No one goes home empty handed.
Wed 20th last match before the Christmas break. Singles Final Paul Kilpatrick - V - Colin Stainthorpe.
Top tip - when on rock armour, don’t drop your fish!

Sunday, members festive Christmas match, fishing 2 - 7pm, weigh-in by 8pm at The Stakesby Arms, followed by a Christmas carvery, and presentation. The match kindly sponsored by members Malcolm & Paula Pitman of Hook, Line & Sinker, Church St. Whitby.
Sea state had dropped away NEasterly 3ft, flattened by the SWesterly winds, moving further into the West by late afternoon. Wind speeds of 22mph gusting to 35mph. Finding a sheltered mark over HW, and in daylight was not easy. Recent heavy seas have deposited masses of weed, all refloated at HW. Midday heavy rain soon past, as did the cloud cover, and the temperature dropped once the sun set, not as cold as Wednesday night.
£100 sponsorship, split £50, £30, £20 for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd places, thereafter a pick of the prize table laid on by Treasurer Dave Perrett. Fishing for two trophies, the WSAA Christmas Match Trophy & the Michael Deadman Memorial Trophy. The latter awarded to the member who weighs the Heaviest Single fish, donated by Richard Deadman in 2016, in memory of his father Michael Deadman. The WSAA Christmas match Trophy, a trophy originally donated to the Whitby Coarse Fishing Club by Ray Hardwick, of the Royal Hotel, in 1970. The coarse fishing club folded, and the trophy was then donated to WSAA by Dave Smith and renamed.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was in festive mood wearing a Santa hat, tripod bedecked with tinsel. Of the 31 entered only 17 managed a weigh-in of assorted fish 25 codlings, 9 r/lings, 9 flat fish & 9 whitings. Rob Allison, won the coveted Christmas Match Trophy, 7 codlings & a r/ling 12 lb 13 oz - the only double figure bag. Rob last won the Christmas match in 2015. Consequently on the Leader Board, both Rob & Denis Thompson have past the 100 lb marker, with Rob now trailing Denis by only 11 oz. Rob also pips Paul Kilpatrick, by 1 oz into HBoFish Monthly Sweep leader. Malcolm Pitman was on hand to present the trophies & prizes.
Members were overjoyed with praise to Keeley Fairbanks who landed the Heaviest Fish, a fine spragg 8 lb 07½ oz, finishing 3rd overall. Keeley’s partner Richard Deadman reported she played the fish to the bottom of the cliff, but neither could lift it despite their best efforts. Time was now 18.30 hrs, Richard decided he ‘had’ to get on to the scaurs below if they had any chance of landing this fish. He packed up their gear, loaded it into the van, leaving Keeley on the cliff mark to maintain tension on the rod & line whilst he drove to gain access to the scaurs. Once under their fishing position it was no easy task to reach the line, but lady luck was on their side and a wave pushed the fish, and line within his grasp. Unclipping the trace, and seeing the fish for the first time he was now under pressure to get it, Keeley & himself to the weigh-in before 8pm. Well done Keeley.
After the 17 successful anglers had had the pick of the prize table, the remaining anglers’ names were pulled from a hat for their choice of the prizes. Members also received a scratch card as they chose their prize. Before the raffle, both Peter Horbury & Dave Perrett received gift bags in recognition of their work from WSAA members. Members received a Christmas cracker with their meal, inside which, Dave Perrett had placed a raffle ticket. Colin Stainthorpe, won the main raffle prize, a Christmas cake made by Rob Allison’s mother.
Many thanks to Tracey, landlady of The Stakesby Arms, and her staff who, again as last year, laid on an excellent carvery and hospitality for WSAA members. Many thanks to Bernard Vasey & Dave Perrett for helping with proceedings.
Colin Stainthorpe & Paul Kilpatrick arranged to fish the Singles Knockout Final during the Christmas match. Congratulations to Colin who is (again) crowned Singles K/O Champion, having also been last years Champion.

Sunday, members festive Christmas match, fishing 2 - 7pm, weigh-in by 8pm at The Stakesby Arms, followed by a Christmas carvery, and presentation. The match kindly sponsored by members Malcolm & Paula Pitman of Hook, Line & Sinker, Church St. Whitby.
Sea state had dropped away NEasterly 3ft, flattened by the SWesterly winds, moving further into the West by late afternoon. Wind speeds of 22mph gusting to 35mph. Finding a sheltered mark over HW, and in daylight was not easy. Recent heavy seas have deposited masses of weed, all refloated at HW. Midday heavy rain soon past, as did the cloud cover, and the temperature dropped once the sun set, not as cold as Wednesday night.
£100 sponsorship, split £50, £30, £20 for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd places, thereafter a pick of the prize table laid on by Treasurer Dave Perrett. Fishing for two trophies, the WSAA Christmas Match Trophy & the Michael Deadman Memorial Trophy. The latter awarded to the member who weighs the Heaviest Single fish, donated by Richard Deadman in 2016, in memory of his father Michael Deadman. The WSAA Christmas match Trophy, a trophy originally donated to the Whitby Coarse Fishing Club by Ray Hardwick, of the Royal Hotel, in 1970. The coarse fishing club folded, and the trophy was then donated to WSAA by Dave Smith and renamed.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was in festive mood wearing a Santa hat, tripod bedecked with tinsel. Of the 31 entered only 17 managed a weigh-in of assorted fish 25 codlings, 9 r/lings, 9 flat fish & 9 whitings. Rob Allison, won the coveted Christmas Match Trophy, 7 codlings & a r/ling 12 lb 13 oz - the only double figure bag. Rob last won the Christmas match in 2015. Consequently on the Leader Board, both Rob & Denis Thompson have past the 100 lb marker, with Rob now trailing Denis by only 11 oz. Rob also pips Paul Kilpatrick, by 1 oz into HBoFish Monthly Sweep leader. Malcolm Pitman was on hand to present the trophies & prizes.
Members were overjoyed with praise to Keeley Fairbanks who landed the Heaviest Fish, a fine spragg 8 lb 07½ oz, finishing 3rd overall. Keeley’s partner Richard Deadman reported she played the fish to the bottom of the cliff, but neither could lift it despite their best efforts. Time was now 18.30 hrs, Richard decided he ‘had’ to get on to the scaurs below if they had any chance of landing this fish. He packed up their gear, loaded it into the van, leaving Keeley on the cliff mark to maintain tension on the rod & line whilst he drove to gain access to the scaurs. Once under their fishing position it was no easy task to reach the line, but lady luck was on their side and a wave pushed the fish, and line within his grasp.

Low water 23.28 hrs, 1.5 metres, 1035 mbar, 12°C
Last match of 2017 before the Christmas break, a scratching match for 24 members as the sea state was flat calm. An all ebb match, discombobulated, neither HW nor LW on a slack tide as well.

10 flat fish, 2 billets and a rockling.
Maintaining his lead at the top of the Leader Board Denis Thompson weighed 4 codlings 6 lb 06 oz inc. the HF of the night 2 lb 10 oz taking Man of the Match for the 3rd time this season. Rob Allison was 2nd 4 lb 10 oz (2), his HF 2 lb 06 oz, Rob’s deficit to Denis now stands at 2 lb 07 oz. Rob can claim December as his month, 14 fish 26 lb 14 oz, with Paul Kilpatrick next 3 lb 14 oz behind. Malcolm Pitman, 70 fish, leads in the greatest number of fish caught going into the New Year.

Westerly wind 23mph with strong gusts forecast at 39mph.
January’s super moon, nee Wolf moon was visible throughout the night, periodically hidden by cloud cover. Water was thick with colour due to recent heavy rainfall. Once out onto the open scaurs members reported marks emptied very quickly.

12,00 hrs Sandsend beach 3°C in the sunshine!
Heaviest Bag of the season to Dave Perrett
Danny Middlemas 7 lb 07½ oz
High water 19.59 hrs, 5.4 metres, 1035 mbar, 0°C
Amble Open, Station Inn Open & WSAA evening match, plenty of choice for members & anglers on the NEast coast. Day 5 of the flu and I am still laid up so was not fit enough to fish.
Sunday morning, sea state 4 - 6 ft NEasterly swell, decreasing with plenty of colour. The morning had started off inclement but by midday bright sunshine replaced the rain, although the temperature was never above 4°C.
ESEasterly wind 11mph with gusts forecasted at 20mph, little to no cloud cover allowed the night time temp to nudge 0°C. Wind chill was a factor with some reporting ‘it was the coldest night’ as a heavy frost started to lay. No reports of weed problems.
Of the 21 fishing only 10 members managed a weigh-in predominantly codlings (34 & 1 r/ling) for 76 lb 08 oz giving the best Av fish for the season 2 lb 03 oz. At the scales Jason Ebison oversaw proceedings weighing two ‘double figure bags’.
Man of the Match, Dave Perrett, 23 lb 10 oz - 10 codlings, now the season’s best bag, 3 lb 08 oz heavier than Denis Thompson’s, Sunday 5th November 2017. Dave moves from 8th to 3rd on the Leader Board, and is the 3rd member to pass 100 lb. The HF of the night, a fine spragg, fell to 2nd place Danny Middlemas 7 lb 07½ oz (photographed by Rich Deadman).
Dave Perrett & Danny Middlemas take the lead in the Monthly Sweeps HBoF & HF respectively.
Sunday League - Hypothetical at this time, Dave’s weigh-in takes him into 2nd place. An idea that is yet to be finalised by members would be for those who find it hard to fish Wednesday nights, but would like to compete in a Sunday League only.
Results:- 76 lb 08 oz (Av 2 lb 03 oz)

High water 10.45 hrs Sandsend beach
First win for Danny
Brian Harland 3 lb 05 oz
Low water 16.51 hrs, 2.4 metres, 1010 mbar, 5°C
A miserable damp misty day continued into the night, gentle Northerly 5°C breeze for Wednesday nights 3hr match. Sea state steady, regular ENEasterly swell sets 2-3ft with plenty of colour, no reports of weed. Another discombobulated match, neither low water nor high water, on a slack tide, meant a few marks were discounted for a few due to access and fishing times. The low mist/drizzle throughout the match turned into rain for the weigh-in.
Local beaches were very popular with members and pleasure anglers alike, but ‘the catch’ to rod ratio was extremely poor despite the conditions being favourable. Members were slow to the scales, many not bothering, texting in, returning straight home at match end despite one or two having fish! (albeit a mop or two)
Twenty one members were entered, with just 9 managing a weigh-in, 11 codlings, 1 blegg and a flat fish - a meagre 25 lb 01 oz. Many reporting being hampered by small fish bites nee bait robbers. Man of the Match, with his first win, Danny Middlemas (3) 5 lb 14 oz, HF fell to Brian Harland 3 lb 05 oz, next best fish Colin Stainthorpe 2 lb 10½ oz

Pollock for James ‘King Cod’ Gilpin

Runner-up Rob Allison 4 lb 00 oz codling

Sunday was bright & dry, but a bitterly cold offshore SSWesterly wind 4°C, 20 mph gusting to 30+mph was relentless. The coldest nights fishing for 22 members of Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. wind chill made it feel more like -4°C, baiting up was quick, even with your back to the wind. Easterly swell, 2ft decreasing with plenty of colour, flattened right off come low water 21.00 hrs until match end.
Heavy cloud cover, thankfully the predicted rain held off for the 4hr match. Bite detection was not easy, more so the further out onto open scaur anlgers progressed following a fast ebbing tide. The wind combined with the high pressure made for a much bigger ebb than the 1.9 metres predicted. No reports of weed. Jason Ebison reported wading out waist deep, in vain, to try and free a good fish as his line had blown around a rock.
Members were slow to the scales, Bernard & Jason oversaw proceedings weighing 28 codlings, 3 r/lings, 3 flat fish & a pollock graced the weigh pan, 71 lb 12 oz (Av fish 1 lb 13 oz). Man of the Match, Bernard Vasey, his 3rd win, with the only double figure bag 5 codlings 10 lb 07 oz. Bernard’s best fish 3 lb 11 oz not enough to take HF of the night. James ‘King Cod’ Gilpin surprised everyone when he placed a 5 lb 14 oz pollock in the weigh pan, with calls to rename himself. Rob Allison weighed the heaviest cod 4 lb 00 oz. The seasons Av fish now 1 lb 08 oz.
Safety - take note:- Members are reminded, if not returning to the weigh-in, to please ‘text/ring in’ and confirm you are safely at home.
Results:- 35 fish - 71 lb 12 oz (Av 1 lb 13 oz)

14.00 hrs Sandsend beach 4°C but very strong WSWesterly wind feels more like -4°C
HF, HBoF & Rob tops Leader Board
Rob Allison 5 lb 07 oz
Low water 22.40 hrs, 1.4 metres, 1002 mbar, 3°C
Bright sunshine, bitterly cold SWesterly wind and not a hint of snow during the day. By 19.00hrs, match start, the wind had shifted WSWesterly, clear skies to start but soon clouded over. Finding a sheltered mark for the all ebb match was important with gusts of 35mph forecasted. Sea state 4ft NWesterly swell with plenty of colour just died, overcome by the strength of the ebbing tide and wind.
Fish bites were few and far between, if you were lucky enough to get one and were able to turn it into a weigh-in. Some went all night without a bite while others were pestered by under-sized billets. Weed was reported, forcing members to move marks.
Members were very slow to the weigh-in, and at one point it was thought no one was coming back. Of the 21 members fishing only 8 managed a weigh-in. Third to weigh-in was Man of the Match, Rob Allison with both HF & HBoF. Rob reported having ‘the one bite’ turned out to be a 5 lb 07 oz codling mid match. Denis Thompson has been at the top of the Leader Board since Match 8 but moves into 2nd place, pipped by 2 oz, as Rob takes the helm.
Weigh master Bernard Vasey reported catching his two fish in the first two casts, thinking he was going to have a good nights fishing like last Sunday. Then hooked an undersized codling, thereafter not a bite.
This Sunday, 21st January, is The Annual Inter Club Tournament nee Bell Trophy, run by Scarborough Rock Anglers. WSAA members are requested to meet at the Oasis Café, Marine Drive, Scarborough, at 08.30hrs for registration.
Note there will be no evening match, so all weights count towards the Leader Board. Fishing times 10am - 2pm, boundaries Argyle Gulley, Hayburn Wyke to Cobble Landing, Filey.
Results:- 11 codlings & 1 blegg - 22 lb 00 oz (Av 1 lb 13 oz)
Bright sunshine, bitterly cold SWesterly wind and not a hint of snow during the day. By 19.00hrs, match start, the wind had shifted WSWesterly, clear skies to start but soon clouded over. Finding a sheltered mark for the all ebb match was important with gusts of 35mph forecasted. Sea state 4ft NWesterly swell with plenty of colour just died, overcome by the strength of the ebbing tide and wind.
Fish bites were few and far between, if you were lucky enough to get one and were able to turn it into a weigh-in. Some went all night without a bite while others were pestered by under-sized billets. Weed was reported, forcing members to move marks.
Members were very slow to the weigh-in, and at one point it was thought no one was coming back. Of the 21 members fishing only 8 managed a weigh-in. Third to weigh-in was Man of the Match, Rob Allison with both HF & HBoF. Rob reported having ‘the one bite’ turned out to be a 5 lb 07 oz codling mid match. Denis Thompson has been at the top of the Leader Board since Match 8 but moves into 2nd place, pipped by 2 oz, as Rob takes the helm.

-2°C Marine Drive, Scarborough 08.30hrs
Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. win Bell Trophy
Secretary Peter Horbury
Low water 12.29 hrs (Whitby), 1.6 metres, 1012 mbar, -1°C
Sunday 08.00 hrs it was bitterly cold, -2°C, prior to driving over to Scarborough for registration in the Inter-Angling-Clubs Challenge Trophy, nee Bell Trophy. Anglers representing Filey, Scalby Mills, Scarborough, Cloughton, and Whitby met at the Oasis Café, Marine Drive in Scarborough. The 4hr match organised by Scarborough Rock Anglers is an annual, by invitation only, to compete for the Sana Bell, now in its 93rd year.
Sea state, Northerly swell 1-2ft max with varying degrees of colour within the fixed boundaries, Argyle Gully, Hayburn Wyke to Cobble Landing, Filey. Heavy cloud cover throughout the day, no sunshine, the dry Southerly wind was brisk 10-20mph.
Seventy one anglers from 5 local clubs registered, forming 7 teams of 8 or more. By 09.00hrs registration was complete, Peter Atkinson, Secretary of Scarborough Rock Anglers rang ‘the bell’ (George Dunn has now retired). All anglers gathered round as the boundaries, fishing times, and weigh-in location at Scarborough Rock Anglers Social Club were confirmed & understood by all. Anglers departed for their chosen marks 09.15hrs to start fishing at 10.00hrs - 14.00hrs.
Come match end, it was snowing heavily and many anglers who had nothing to weigh-in headed straight home. The rest enjoyed the hospitality at Scarborough Rock Anglers Social Club, sandwiches, crisps and refreshments were available. There was also a raffle for 2 large breakfast trays.
Ian Thompson, Chairman, presented the individual team sweeps for HF & HBoF. Peter Atkinson read out the individual team weights, their aggregates, in reverse order. And after 8yrs of waiting Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. were declared winners of the Bell Trophy 2018. Whitby A clinched the trophy, and Whitby B came 3rd. WSAA Secretary Peter Horbury collected the Sana Bell on behalf of Whitby Sea Anglers Association, and the £142 prize money.
Many thanks to the staff, and officials at Scarborough Rock Anglers Social Club for their hospitality. Getting home for the remaining WSAA members was delayed due to the closure of the Whitby Scarborough road at Cloughton bank. Temporary traffic lights on Cloughton bank, and the heavy snowfall hampered drivers trying to stop on the descent and consequently made it difficult for those attempting to set off up the hill.

First win for Paul Short
High water 20.42 hrs, 5.0 metres, 999 mbar, 5°C
Two low pressure systems side by side, east west alignment, off the west coast of Scotland - Storm Georgina, inbound. On the NEast coast, SWesterly winds 23 - 38 mph, sea state was flat calm, with colour close to shore.
A scratching match for the 20 members of Whitby Sea Anglers fishing the 3hr Wednesday night match. Fishing the last 2hrs of flood, and an hour back, the catch forecast was extremely low with a number of members not fishing. Finding a fishable, let alone, a sheltered mark was not going to be easy and bite detection was hampered by the severe gusting wind.
Clear skies and a bright ¾ moon until 21.00hrs when a light rain shower past, creating a beautifully sharp ‘Moonbow’, the second I’ve seen but the first for Dave Turnbull as we watched from the East pier. Moonbows similar to rainbows but created by moonlight.
Danny Middlemas reported turning his back on his rod & tripod only for it to be blown clean off the aqua pods into the sea. Just 1ft of the rod tip was visibly bobbing in the sea. Rescuing his tripod first, he was able to claw his rod back.
It was hard work, small fish bites but 11 did manage a meagre weigh-in, albeit the worst of the season, less than Wed 13th Dec 2017 19 lb 09 oz. Just 4 codlings, 9 whitings, 9 f/fish, 1 LSD, and a r/ling for 17 lb 07 oz, giving a 12 oz fish average.
Man of the Match, with his first win, Paul Short 2 f/fish, 2 whitings 3 lb 05 oz. An LSD (lesser spotted dogfish) 1 lb 09 oz HF of the night caught by Colin Stainthorpe (returned alive, as were all the f/fish).
Results:- 24 fish - 17 lb 07 oz (Av 12 oz)

Fri 26th January 2018 - 15 lb 09 oz - Brian Harland
Danny Middlemas was/is considering buying a new rod.
In order to help him make his mind up, Brian Harland offered to let Danny test the same rod from his collection.
So last night (Friday 26th Jan 2018), Brian & Danny popped out for an hour or so's fishing.
Conditions were not exactly exciting, little to no swell, but it would give Danny a feel for the rod.
However, after 3 casts Brian caught this 15 lb 09 oz cod on frozen green crab at 21.45 hrs, and wanted to get back so it could be weighed & recorded.
My wife & I were at Whitby Coliseum enjoying comic Gary Delaney (Sarah Millican's husband) so missed Brian's 1st call.
Bernard Vasey took Brian's call & his fish was weighed at The Fleece, Church St. on the club scales.
After which time I returned Brian's call, and the rest, is as they say history, he brought it around for a photograph.
Brian's PB is 17 lb 13 oz caught on Wed 11th December 1996, when he had 6 fish for 29 lb 03 oz, and this cod ranks 2nd on Brian's PB list. Well done Brian.

Sunday afternoon walk with Aussie 13.00 hrs high water 4.9 metres
Rob Taylor
Low water 19.24 hrs, 1.8 metres, 1020 mbar, 13°C
News of the week - Friday evening, Brian Harland, pleasure fishing with Danny Middlemas, landed the HFish Out of Competition 15 lb 09 oz well done Brian.
High pressure 1020mbar dominating the weather, a very mild 13°C, but very extremely windy. The WSWesterly wind grew in strength all day, wind speed 27mph with gusts 45mph enough to knock one off balance. Sea state was flat with the occasional double sets of long distance Northerly swell. Colour varied from mark to mark, some thick with colour, others just milky.
Fishing the last 1½ hrs of ebb members were in the open, and therefore exposed to the fierce wind on the open scaurs. Bags, rods, and kit reportedly getting blown over. The clouds may have been passing overhead but the wind was hitting anglers from the left, and then the right.
21.07 hrs many members enjoyed watching a meteor, on a low trajectory, streaking across the night sky, blue in colour, indicating magnesium.

Finding a sheltered mark was nye on impossible (apart from ‘sofa hole’) it was a question of making do and bracing it out. Understandably fish bite detection was severely hampered, and one or two admitted to ‘fish laid on’.

The cold Westerly wind had weaken late afternoon but once onto the open scaurs, gusts were still strong enough to blow tripods & bags over.
Members were slow to the scales, weigh master Bernard Vasey reported ‘not a breath of wind where he was, but not a bite either’. ‘Not a bite all night’, repeated by many. Only five of the 17 members fishing the 3hr match weighed-in - 4 codlings & 3 r/lings for 7 lb 12 oz.
Man of the match, with both HBoFish & HFish Andrew Cass just 1 codling 2 lb 12 oz. Andrew Cass & Colin Stainthorpe join Rob Allison, Denis Thompson, Dave Perrett, and Brian Harland in the 100 lb Club.

Low water 12.40 hrs, 1.3 metres, 1030 mbar, 4°C
Secretary’s Challenge Trophy day, Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. - V - Cloughton Rock Anglers. Re-introduced in 2016 by secretaries Peter Halder & Peter Horbury. £5 match entry, with both clubs putting £50 into the prize fund for the ‘all in, all out’, 6 hr match. Prizes split 50/50 between HBoFish & HFish. Thereafter split 50/30/20 into 1st, 2nd & 3rd.
Thirty one fully paid up members of both clubs started fishing at 10.00hrs, boundaries, set by WSAA as hosts - Cowbar steel to Robin Hood’s Bay landing scaur. The day was bright, cloudy and cold 4°C due to the NEasterly wind 20mph. Sea state NEasterly swell 2-4ft, with little colour, more ‘green’ than milky.
High pressure dominating and this was reflected in the size of the ebb, far greater than the ‘tabled’ 1.4 metres, more like 0.5 metres. Fishing approx. 3hrs either side of low water kelp beds were clearly visible come low water. The flood was fast, pushed back in by the onshore wind but the fish didn’t follow, as expected and fish bites were scarce.
Both secretaries were pleased with both the turnout & camaraderie between the members. At the scales, Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison had given up their Sunday afternoon (neither fished) to oversee proceedings.
Cloughton Rocks weighed-in 14 codlings 22 lb 02½ oz giving an aggregate of 1 lb 11½ oz from their 13 members.
Whitby Sea Anglers weighed-in 17 codlings, 2 bleggs & a r/ling 33 lb 10½ oz giving them a winning aggregate 1 lb 13½ oz from their 18 members. 1st time WSAA had won since 2016.
After the weigh-in anglers retired to the warmth of the Fleece for refreshments, and a warm by the open fire. Landlady Carla Smith & her staff had laid on a hearty stew and crusty bread for everyone. After everyone had eaten, and the numbers crunched, WSAA Secretary Peter Horbury called upon all present to show their appreciation for the staff at the Fleece. Then he started the presentation helped by Treasurer Dave Perrett & weigh master Bernard Vasey.
Total prize fund £255, comprised £50 from both clubs, £140 from WSAA members, and £115 from Cloughton’s members.
Totalling £255 - split 50/50 for HBoFish / HFish giving £127.50 each this then split further 50/30/20 for individual prizes
£63.75 / £42.50 / £21.25 for 1st / 2nd / 3rd
Many thanks to all who took part, Cloughton Rocks will host next year, and Whitby Sea Anglers will pick the date & tide fishing to Cloughton Rocks’ boundaries. We look forward to the ‘challenge’.

Danny Middlemas
High water 21.10 hrs, 4.9 metres, 1019 mbar, -1°C
After Sundays successful win in the Secretary’s Challenge Trophy match it was back to fishing at night for Whitby Sea Anglers. Wednesday had been bright and dry, weather dominated by high pressure. The WSWesterly wind had swung SWesterly 10mph and ‘was’ bitterly cold. Already -1°C before the 3hr match started at 19.00hrs, wind chill on wet fingers was a big issue. Baiting up was quick, with the gloves going back on ASAP. By 21.00hrs the wind had eased, cloud cover was minimal, and no moon light.
Sea state, close to shore Northerly swell 2-3ft, had been slowly dropping off all day. Cliff marks & piers being popular marks, with some venturing to local beaches but when no whitings showed, they moved to the piers with little success there too. Twenty one members were fishing, of them only 13 had fish to weigh-in. Fish bites were very timid, no reports of any weed.
At the scales Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison weighed 30 assorted fish - 27 codlings, 1 r/ling, 1 whiting, and a blegg 43 lb. Man of the Match, his 3rd match win, Danny Middlemas (5) 8 lb 01 oz inc. the HFish of the night 3 lb 10 oz, his 2nd HFish win. Danny leads in February’s HFish & HBoFish sweeps. Members, fishing the West pier, reported seeing a fish of approx. 10 lb being landed during the match.
Thinking of the Greatest Number of Fish trophy - Paul Short, Brian Harland & Dave Perrett are all equal on 77 fish. Denis Thompson has regained top spot on the Leader Board by 2 lb 05 oz from Rob Allison. Rob has been unable to fish due to a chest infection, and we wish him a speedy recovery.

Friday 9th - Sunday 11th February, the 25th Paul Roggeman European Open Beach Championships, at Sand-Le-Mere Holiday Village, Tunstall, near Withernsea, East Yorkshire. A number of WSAA members are heading to the event - Tight Lines.
Results:- 30 fish - 43 lb 00 oz (Av 1 lb oz)
After Sundays successful win in the Secretary’s Challenge Trophy match it was back to fishing at night for Whitby Sea Anglers. Wednesday had been bright and dry, weather dominated by high pressure. The WSWesterly wind had swung SWesterly 10mph and ‘was’ bitterly cold. Already -1°C before the 3hr match started at 19.00hrs, wind chill on wet fingers was a big issue. Baiting up was quick, with the gloves going back on ASAP. By 21.00hrs the wind had eased, cloud cover was minimal, and no moon light.
Sea state, close to shore Northerly swell 2-3ft, had been slowly dropping off all day. Cliff marks & piers being popular marks, with some venturing to local beaches but when no whitings showed, they moved to the piers with little success there too. Twenty one members were fishing, of them only 13 had fish to weigh-in. Fish bites were very timid, no reports of any weed.
At the scales Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison weighed 30 assorted fish - 27 codlings, 1 r/ling, 1 whiting, and a blegg 43 lb. Man of the Match, his 3rd match win, Danny Middlemas (5) 8 lb 01 oz inc. the HFish of the night 3 lb 10 oz, his 2nd HFish win. Danny leads in February’s HFish & HBoFish sweeps. Members, fishing the West pier, reported seeing a fish of approx. 10 lb being landed during the match.
Thinking of the Greatest Number of Fish trophy - Paul Short, Brian Harland & Dave Perrett are all equal on 77 fish. Denis Thompson has regained top spot on the Leader Board by 2 lb 05 oz from Rob Allison. Rob has been unable to fish due to a chest infection, and we wish him a speedy recovery. Rob currently leads the best Av. Fish 1 lb 14 oz.

High water Sandsend beach 13.18 hrs, 4.6 metres
Low water 19.45 hrs, 2.2 metres, 1000 mbar, -1°C
The WNWesterly wind grew in strength throughout the day, by Sunday evening gusts were forecast to reach 40mph. Cloud cover was minimal, with no moon, an excellent night for star gazing. Colour varied from mark to mark, but general the water was coloured. The NNWesterly sea state 7-8ft was not only growing, but surging which was far from ideal.
Fishing 2hrs either side of low water. The swells had ripped up the fine green grass weed which fouled lines, shock leader knots, and end tackle. Chopped up kelp, as in constantly mown kelp beds by fishing boats was also a hindrance. For the majority fish bites were few and far between, understandably on a growing sea, especially at this time of year when the fish move into deeper waters to spawn.
With the temperature already below zero at 18.00hrs wind chill was an issue of wet hands whilst baiting up. Twenty members were fishing the 4hr match, but only 11 had fish at the scales, 22 codlings, weighed-in at 38 lb 01 oz. Still coughing, after a chest infection that had laid him low for two matches, Man of the Match Rob Allison. Rob picked up both HBoFish & HFish, 11 lb 02 oz (6), 3 lb 04 oz respectfully, pipping Denis Thompson by 1 oz to HFish of the night.
Rob has regained top spot on the Leader Board, albeit by only
1 lb to Denis Thompson. Paul Short & Bernard Vasey the next members to join the ‘100 club’. The largest deficit between any two members is 25 lb 04 oz ie between Dave Perrett and Denis Thompson in 2nd & 3rd. Between 3rd & 10th it is still very close with only 12 matches left, plenty of time to make up a place or two. Denis Thompson & Paul Short joint 79 in the fish count.

All smiles Dave Ward
Low water 21.48 hrs, 1.5 metres, 997 mbar, 2°C
Rain, sleet, and snow, the forecast for the 3hr evening match was no fairer than the weather during the day. Fishing down to low water meant members would be out onto the open scaurs, and at the mercy of the SEasterly wind, and its chosen driven precipitation. Sea state - flat! Save some localised, close to shore SEasterly swell at certain marks. With the recent rainfall colour was good and no reports of weed.
Hoods up, zips well fastened, and bags anchored, the first hour the wind was relentless, driving the rain, and at times sleet horizontally. Gale force winds were forecast but shortly after 20.00hrs the wind just fell away, the skies started to clear, quite pleasant really. While the weather improved the fishing definitely did not! Fish bites were non-existent, baits were coming back just as they had been cast out, not even a rockling.
Only 17 of the 33 members were fishing, many put off by the ‘weather’, and the prospect of not catching anything at this time of year, their enthusiasm has understandably waned.
Dave Ward (all smiles) was first to the scales for his second Man of the Match - 3 codlings 8 lb 03 oz, inc. 4 lb 07½ oz his second HFish win, now leads Monthly Sweep. Dave moves up to 9th, and also joins the 100 lb club - well done.
The rest to weigh-in took their time, Dave Perrett being last, as normal, just before the scales closed - 2 codlings 4 lb 12 oz to take 2nd place. His HFish 3 lb 11 oz. Dave’s deficit to 3rd place Rob Allison now 21 lb 08 oz.
Rob Allison didn’t weigh-in but Denis Thompson found one, first cast, and re takes top spot on the Leader Board.
WSAA’s Total Seasons weigh-in past 2,000 lb an average 1 lb 08 oz/fish.
The weigh-in 11 codlings - 21 lb gave an average 2 lb 03 oz/fish equalling the seasons best from Sun 7th January.
Denis Thompson, Dave Perrett and Paul Short all equal on 80 fish, with no whitings showing it could closely fought this season.

15.30 hrs Sandsend beach
High water 17.39 hrs, 5.6 metres, 1018 mbar, 3°C
Sunday nights 4hr match started shortly after high water, just after sunset. The evenings are getting noticeably lighter. In general the Southerly winds of late had continued to dominate since Wednesday. Hence the sea state was flat, consequently all the colour had dropped out. A scratching match for the seventeen members, but with the scarcity of whitings and fish in general, it was going to be hard work for all. Travel or stay local, downsize for flat fish or try and eke out a codling?
Heavy cloud cover, a ½ hr into the match and the drizzle started, just to dampen already low enthusiasm. The mild SSWesterly wind picked up speed shortly after 20.00hrs, and continued to increase well into the night. The drizzle turning to heavy rain, thankfully after the match ended. Fishing a two hook rig, baits were coming back just as they were cast out, not even ‘crabbed off’.
At the scales Bernard Vasey, in jubilant mood, sheltered under his umbrella waiting patiently for everyone to weigh-in. Just 8 codlings, 7 flat fish, and 1 whiting were weighed-in for an expected poor tally of 16 lb 15 oz. HFish of the night Denis Thompson 2 lb 07 oz, Denis continues to top the Leader Board, but by only 14 oz from Rob Allison.
After the weigh-in members retired to the Fleece for refreshments. Jason Ebison handed out the embroidered hoodies which had been recently ordered. Unfortunately there is a short delay with the ‘Large’, as Laughing Whale awaits a fresh delivery.
Reading in the paper this morning, a cold snap is to return over the next fortnight. The cause, a break-up of the polar vortex, a large area of cold air that normally hangs over the North Pole. But a change in the polar jet stream over the past few days has triggered a phenomenon known as Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW). This causes cold winds to be pushed south over Northern Europe & the US. Forecasters say temperatures could drop further by the start of March.
Results:- 16 lb 15 oz (Av 1 lb 01 oz)

Sandsend beach 08.30 hrs NEasterly swell steadily dropping off - forecasted to be flat by match end.
Denis Thompson
High water 19.30 hrs, 5.3 metres, 1028 mbar, 2°C
High pressure dominating the weather, the NEasterly swell from Tuesday had been falling fast. By match start it was 1-2ft at best. The brisk ENEasterly wind brought drizzle for the first hour before it too fell away. The heavy cloud cover had blown over by match end to reveal a bright crescent moon.
The 3hr match started a ½ hr before HWater 19.30hrs, 5.3 metres. Conditions were far from ideal (not everyone likes a HWater match), members were spread far & wide in search of a codling or two. In reality one codling would be a bonus at this time of year. Fish bites were timid, “it was hard work”, and many were heard agreeing that the fish were just ‘coming on’ at the match end. Danny Middlemas was one, and also reported snapping off a better fish on his second cast, when it’s thought his braid caught a rock edge.
Of the 20 members fishing 12 had predominantly codling to weigh-in, Mike Saunders also had 2 poutings in his bag. Shale and grass, on fish to be weighed-in, are a giveaway as to where they may have been caught. Fish must be washed clean before they can be weighed, and Bernard Vasey ensured all complied.
Denis Thompson 3 lb 10 oz picked up HFish of the night - his 6th such win. Dave Perrett, Man of the Match 3 codlings 5 lb 04 oz his 4th win (& joint leader with Denis Thompson & Rob Allison also on 4 wins each).
Ten matches left to close of season, and with Rob Allison ‘blanking’ Dave Perrett’s deficit is now only 18 lb 01 oz for second place. Dave leads in the fish count, 84 fish. Denis extends his lead to 4 lb 08 oz on Rob.
40 matches fished - Denis Thompson’s average is 3 lb 13 oz/per match. At the start of the season a 5 lb weigh-in/per match Av. was the target to be ‘competitive’. In the top eleven no one is ‘safe’, it is too close, a ‘good bag’ or one ‘blank’ too many and more than one place could be lost.
With the weather about to take a turn for the worst, an icy cold blast & snow are inbound from Siberia, it could be an interesting finish to the season.
Results:- 23 fish - 36 lb 07 oz (Av 1 lb 09 oz)

08.30 hrs morning walk with GLW & Aussie, bitterly cold wind.
Paul Short 3 lb 02 oz
Low water 17.49 hrs, 2.1 metres, 1035 mbar, 2°C
Weather has turned decidedly cold, as reported last Sunday. The cause a break-up of the polar vortex, a large area of cold air that normally hangs over the North Pole. But a change in the polar jet stream has triggered a phenomenon known as Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW). This causes cold winds to be pushed south over Northern Europe & the US.
Sea state Easterly swell 1ft, close to shore meant close set swells (with colour). ESEasterly (exceptionally dry) wind, 16/20mph, 1°C felt well below zero as the chill factor was a major issue for baiting up. Twenty one members fished an all flood match started at low water on a slack tide.
A 75% moon shone brightly ‘when’ there was a break in the cloud cover. There was no escaping the cross wind, pulling heavily & dragging end tackle into snags. The sea state itself was not heavy enough to warrant using grip leads but with the wind it helped.
At the weigh-in many reported how cold it had been, then it started to snow lightly, a few members that travel were keen to weigh-in and set off home across the moors. Weigh master Bernard & Jason weighed 16 codlings, a r/ling for 32 lb 11 oz.
Man of the Match, Paul Short 2 codlings 5 lb 02 oz reported the fish were at him all night ‘but’ he just could not get them out. Snapping off his ‘shock leaders’ one after the other. HFish Dave Hambley 4 lb 12 oz now leads in the Monthly Sweep with one match left for February.
Denis Thompson has extended his lead to 5 lb 04 oz on Rob Allison, and Dave Perrett leads the fish count at 87 fish.
In the hypothetical ‘Sunday League’ Rob Allison leads Denis Thompson by 26 lb 02 oz, members will decide on its future at the AGM Wed 29th August.
The weather is said to get colder as The Beast from the East rolls in. Wednesday night could be interesting 5-8ft ENEasterly swell and 32/49mph Easterly winds, -1°C, & snow!!

13.00hrs Sandsend beach, 7ft+ Easterly
Four shot panoramic Saltwick beach
Rob tames 'The Beast from the East'
Rob Allison
Low water 21.14 hrs, 1.0 metres, 1022 mbar, -3°C
The weather, last seen like this in 2010 on the NEast coast, The Beast from the East originating in Siberia. High pressure dominating and showing no signs of changing, Red Weather alerts across the country. I read this morning the NHS giving ‘nanny’ advice on how to walk in the snow - “like a penguin”, arms splayed for balance, knees bent, and toes pointed out. Pity we can’t catch fish like ‘em!
Sea state 7ft+ ENEasterly on an all ebb tide, fishing down and over low water 21.14hrs, 1.0 metres. Plenty of colour, there was some surging but the wind was horrendous, 25/35mph. Bags had to zipped up, and wedged behind rocks. 95% full moon brought bright spells in-between the fast moving cloud cover. Using a head torch was pointless during the driving snow showers, and anglers were best using the ambient moonlight to see their way across the scaurs.
Local roads were ‘passable’ with care so many stayed local, and found marks where the wind was on their backs. Fish bites were impossible to feel, and fish landed were ‘laid on’. ‘Only’ nine members were fishing and all commentated “it was the coldest they have ever fished in”. Temperature was already -3°C before 19.00hrs and with the wind chill on wet hands, who knows, all I can say it was painful.
Come match end 22.00hrs it was a total white out, and even the evening glow of light pollution from Whitby town had gone, snow was thick and laying on the sand. Anglers resembled abdominal snowmen, covered in snow from head to foot.
Overall it wasn’t my night ☺ - Having bumped into Paul Short in the Fleece car park, he joined me at Cretebloc, a mark he had never fished before. After a few pointers we cast in late, around 19.15hrs, by 20.30 Paul had a fish. Later, Colin Stainthorpe joined me after 21.00hrs, and he too caught a fish #Frustrating.

James 'Jamsy' Moore
High water 17.41 hrs, 5.9 metres, 989 mbar, 3°C
Storm Emma, and the Beast from the East had abated, with temperatures just above zero the big thaw had already started. ESEasterly winds 10/17mph brought thick mist/fog all day. Sea state regular NEasterly swells 2-3ft with plenty of colour. The 4hr match, for the 19 members fishing, started in day light 20mins after HWater. BST starts Sunday 25th march 2018. Cliff marks, and piers were popular for members and pleasure anglers alike with a few trying local beaches.
19.00 hrs and the visibility was down to less than 50yds, temperature dropped as the wind shifted SEasterly (probably just wind chill). Not long after, the first of a couple of short rain showers fell which helped to thin the mist/fog. For the first hour there were no fish bites, baits were coming back as cast. Once the ebb took hold fish bites increased but were mostly small fish. For some weed was an issue, and a mark move was necessary.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was in good spirits, despite not catching himself, nestled under his umbrella sheltering from yet another rain shower. Just 7 members managed a meagre weigh-in of 11 codlings - totalling 20 lb 07 oz - starts the tally for March.
Man of the Match Rob Allison, with his 6th win, 3 codlings weighed 4 lb 05 oz. James ‘Jamsy’ Moore, with his 3rd HFish win, 3 lb 02 oz. These are now the target weights to beat in the Monthly Sweeps. Jamsy was just one, who had to move marks mid match, reporting it was a good move, wishing he had moved earlier.
On the Leader Board Rob has a 6 lb 07 oz lead on Denis Thompson with Dave Perrett 18 lb 04 oz adrift from him. Both Rob & Dave are tied on 89 fish. Just 7 matches left to close of the 2017 - 2018 Season, still too close to call, so no one in the top eleven can relax. Danny Middlemas 11th is just 1 lb shy of being next to join the 100 lb club.
In the trial for a ‘Sunday League’ next season, Rob Allison 106 lb 06 oz, leads Dave Perrett by 29 lb 06 oz, 55 to 44 fish (details and how it will be run, not yet finalised should WSAA members embrace the idea).
Results:- 20 lb 07 oz (Av 1 lb 14 oz)

16.30hrs Sandsend beach
High water 19.41 hrs, 5.2 metres, 993 mbar, 2°C
Wednesday nights 3hr match started just after sunset for the 17 members fishing. Mist and heavy cloud cover with a slight, but cold, SSWesterly breeze. Sea state had been dropping all day, NEasterly swell 2ft at best was regular, and long distance. Colour was good, no reports of weed. Fishing ‘up & over’ high water cliff marks and piers were the marks of choice.
A ‘bite less night’, repeated by more than one disappointed member at the weigh-in as members gathered to watch proceedings as only 8 members weighed-in 13 codlings
- 28 lb 09 oz.
Dave Ward, early to the scales, 4 codlings for 6 lb 14 oz may have thought the match was his & in the bag. That was until Rob Allison stepped up, amazing everyone with a clean sweep both HBoFish & HFish 4 codlings 10 lb 09 oz, his best 6 lb 10½ oz - both now lead in the Monthly Sweeps.
Dave Ward, now up to 6th on the Leader Board, just a small deficit 1 lb 06 oz to Paul Kilpatrick, then 8 lb 11 oz to 4th place Brian Harland. Rob Allison leads Denis Thompson, separated by 13 lb 09 oz, both have a 1 lb 14 oz fish/average. Rob has a match average weigh-in of 3 lb 15 oz to 3 lb 10 oz for Denis.
Danny Middlemas has now joined the 100 lb Club. Dave Hambley is 25 lb 05 oz adrift with only 6 matches left.
Top tip - Check you have everything in the car ‘before’ you travel. Nothing worse than opening your boot and you don’t have your chest waders.
Results:- 13 fish - 28 lb 09 oz (Av 2 lb 03 oz)

Low water 17.54 hrs, 2.5 metres, 991 mbar, 4°C
Low pressure currently dominating the weather along the North East coastline. Long distance, regular ENEasterly swells 2-3ft with some colour on the rock but none on the local beaches. Gentle but cold Easterly breeze leading to ‘mist & fog’ as it met the warmer land mass. Throughout the match a wall of ‘mist & fog’ slowly enveloped the coastline, another dark night, no moonlight.
The 4hr match started in daylight, also at low water, on a slack tide, so many low water marks were ruled out. Members headed to cliff marks and piers, some venturing further afield. Members knew the first hour would be bite less, until darkness fell. At times there was too much white water, followed by periods of calm, as the swells caught up with the flood, which repeated throughout the match.
By match end the fog was a real ‘pea souper’ even in Whitby town centre. Still feeling under the weather Bernard Vasey tried fishing for a couple of hours but gave up, thankfully he turned out later to man the scales. As we waited for members to return Denis Thompson reported ideal perfect conditions as he tried different marks but “not a bite all night”. Disappointed again Dave Turnbull reported nothing but under sized codlings. “Should have had three” Richard Deadman reported, his first codling landed made only 34½ cms, returned, and missed a good bite mid match.
A good turnout of 22 members fishing, in season’s gone turnout dwindles in March to single figures. Fourteen did weighed-in (but 1 would later be disqualified) 25 codlings & a billet weighed-in 43 lb 14 oz - the best weigh-in for March. Giving a match Av. fish 1 lb 11 oz less than Wednesday’s Av. 2 lb 03 oz.
Man of the Match, Colin Stainthorpe, 9 lb 04 oz (5) his 3rd win James 'Jamsy' Moore missed out on HFish of the night by just ½ oz. Dave Perrett took HFish, beating Jamsy with his best codling 2 lb 06½ oz. Dave reported this was actually his first HFish win this season!
Dave has regained the ‘fish count’ lead, 93 fish, and closed the deficit, now 13 lb 12 oz, to 2nd place Denis Thompson. On the Leader Board, Danny Middlemas has nudged Bernard Vasey out of 10th place by 5 oz.
Just five matches left, and members cannot afford to make ‘school boy’ errors, hence 2 top tips.
1) WSAA Rule 1 - Match entry is £2 - paid strictly in advance etc. #LessonLearnt as one member’s weight was discounted.
2) #Fishing - In order to catch fish you will need some bait to put on your hooks, you are severely handicapped when you have left your green crab & bait flask at home.

14.24 hrs High water Sandsend beach and the sea state is colourless
Rob Marches on
|
|
Low water 20.46 hrs, 1.7 metres, 998 mbar, 6°C
Wednesday was bright, dry, and mild, but the wind strength, SEasterly, had been growing all day. Finding a sheltered / fishable mark would not be easy preferably with the wind on your back. By 19.00hrs it had grown to 30mph with gusts in excess of 40mph. Sea state was colourless, NNEasterly swells 3 - 4ft decreasing on an ebb tide down to low water, and an hour of flood. Heavy cloud cover and no moonlight.
The wind strength and lack of colour may have put a few members off, only 18 fished the 3hr match. Throughout the match, swell strength was strong enough to push through the ebb with no surging. Fish bites were understandably hard to feel with the bowed lines. The constant battering from the wind only got stronger as members followed the tide out onto the open scaurs.
Back at the Fleece car park Bernard Vasey was all set up and in good humour having recovered from a short illness. The scales needed to be shielded from the gusts to get accurate readings.
Man of the Match, winning both HBoFish & HFish, current leader Rob Allison 7 lb 12 oz & 3 lb 15½ oz respectively. Taking his 8th HBoFish & 7th HFish wins. A game of ‘ping pong’, as Rob regains the lead in the fish count 95, from Dave Perrett on 94 fish. Sneaking quietly up behind, Dave Ward on 91 fish, Dave has been doing remarkably well this season, his consistency and commitment could pay off before the season ends.
Just four matches left, not forgetting BST (British Summer Time) starts Sunday 25th March so members will have to contend with extra daylight. Not forgetting the return of the Beast from the East Part II this weekend.
Dave Perrett has been issuing presentation evening meus detailing individual rebates from match entries & unclaimed match winnings, he has also requested all trophies be returned for engraving prior to presentation evening.
Results:- 14 fish - 25 lb 08 oz (Av 1 lb 13 oz)

17.00 hrs Road closed at Sandsend
“Last cast”
High water 16.52 hrs, 5.6 metres, 1022 mbar, 0°C
The penultimate 4hr Sunday match for the 2017 - 2018 Season, and the Beast nee Mini Beast from the East was creating havoc all over the UK. HWater, 16.42 hrs 5.6 metres and the NYCC Highways had closed the coastal road at Sandsend due to the high seas. Easterly swells 5-7ft with a following 24/32mph bitterly cold Easterly wind, 100% cloud cover.
Come 18.00hrs, match start, still daylight, and a few of us were still sat in our cars. Tide allegedly an hour back, we were waiting for the ebb to kick in, waiting for the surging to slow and some black water to appear. 18.30hrs time to get togged up, plenty of layers. First cast 19.00hrs and you could feel the weed on the line straight away. Pull in, re-bait and moved 50yds up the beach to find clear ground.
Throughout the 4hr match the wind did not let up, bringing short flurries of snow & hail. Even when the ebb took full hold the surging continued as the rough seas still pushed over the outer reef. Water colour was very poor, slightly milky, as to be expected on an Easterly. Fish bites never happened despite trying every bait from fresh lug to green grab & mussel.
At the scales Bernard was in good humour, despite not fishing, reporting he had been to ‘look’ at Robinhoods Bay but returned home as the seas were pounding the foreshore and anyone fishing would have been soaked in a constant wall of sea spray, Sofa Hole it was. Just 4 of 18 fishing managed a weigh-in. Rob Allison, Paul Short and Brian Harland all reported, when asked, “When did they catch their fish?” All replied “Last cast”.
Too cold to hang around in the car park, and as soon as Dave Perrett arrived, scales were packed up, and everyone retired to the warmth & hospitality of the Fleece.
Man of the Match Danny Middlemas his 4th win, caught 2 codlings 2 lb 05 oz. The HFish of the night 1 lb 11 oz Rob Allison, his 8th win of the season. Not the smallest fish to win HFish, that accolade currently falls to Paul Kilpatrick 1 lb 08 oz Wed 13th Dec 2017.
Total weigh-in 7 codlings 6 lb 05 oz, supersedes the worst weigh-in of Wed 31st Jan by 1 lb 07 oz when likewise 7 fish were weighed –in for a meagre 7 lb 12 oz.
Next Sunday - 25th March BST starts.

James Moore
High water 18.30 hrs, 5.6 metres, 1020 mbar, 7°C
Penultimate Wednesday night match, and it was miserable to say the least! High pressure and a strong Westerly crosswind brought heavy rain showers mid match. The all ebb match, started a ½hr after HWater. Northerly swell, with plenty of colour, had been falling all day, 3ft max by 19.00hrs. Cliff marks and piers were very popular with one or two venturing onto local beaches.
Second cast of the night, no sooner had the bait landed in the water, and Peter Horbury ‘thought’ he had hooked a better fish when his rod tip was dipping so violently that the butt was lifting off the ground. On retrieval, a ‘black backed gull’ was the ‘catch’. Fellow member Colin Stainthorpe helped untangle the bird after a cloth was placed over its head to calm it. Once released, it flew straight back into the line for the process to be repeated.
After the heavy rain showers there was a brief glimpse of the evening sky, and some moonlight broke through by match end 22.00hrs.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was sheltering under an umbrella, ushering members to weigh-in and shield the fish pan from the wind. Despite the poor conditions a good turnout, 17 members fished the 3hr match, with 8 returning with 9 codlings for 17 lb.
Man of the match, with a single codling, James Moore 3 lb 09 oz took both HBoFish (his 2nd win) & HFish (his 4th overall and 2nd this month). James is 12th on the Leader Board, some 20 lb shy of 100 lb. The only mover, was Mike Saunders up to equal 13th with Dave Hambley.
Members are again reminded to return their ‘clean’ trophies for engraving. Presentation evening Saturday 28th April and some members still have not collected their menu options and rebate notifications from Dave Perrett.
Results:- 9 fish - 17 lb 00 oz (Av 1 lb 14 oz)

14.00 hrs Sandsend beach
Short ‘mop’ clean sweep
Paul Short - library photo
Low water 17.04 hrs, 2.0 metres, 1014 mbar, 6°C
Everything was against the 16 members fishing the last Sunday match of the 2017 - 2018 season. A scratching match, British Summer Time (BST) had started, it did not get truly dark until 20.45hrs. As the sun was setting 19.30hrs, rain showers at sea, and rainbows were visible under the clouds on an already spectacular reflective mirror image sea on the horizon.
High pressure dominating the weather, it had been a bright but cold sunny day. Sea state flat calm, save 1ft or less, close to shore Northerly lift for the all flood match, on a slack tide. The WNWesterly wind was bitterly cold, (although gauges read 6°C the wind chill was nearer 0°C), grew in strength throughout the 4hr match.
75% cloud cover, come mid match and the skies cleared to the south. A bright ¾ moon high above the horizon shone through which did not help as the water was not thick with colour. For the last hour of the match there were short sharp rain showers to dampen the already low morale.
The only excitement of the match (for me) was one bite, and then disappointment, landing a 4” billet. Alternating two, two hook 3/0 traces, deliberately targeting rocklings in the hope of a weigh-in with fresh lug worm baits on one, and peeler with mussel on the other. Rich Deadman, fishing the same mark, was more hopeful, ‘big baits for big fish’, apart from a ‘crack off’, it was a very uneventful evening.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was urging members to “hurry-up & weigh-in” their fish, time was pressing on, as they carried theirs bags towards the scales. Bernard was disappointed, as the bags contained nothing more exciting than trophies being returned for engraving. In fact Paul Short was the only member to weigh-in, 1 codling 1 lb 14½ oz. Paul takes a clean sweep of all the prize money, 1st, 2nd, 3rd & HFish.
Denis Thompson reported a good codling bite, hooked and played for a few turns of the reel only for it to fall off.

Trophies and money for the Presentation evening meal to be given to Dave Perrett on Wednesday night.

High water approaches 14.30hrs Sandsend beach
Rob Allison crowned 2017 - 2018 Champion
James Moore 3rd HFish win in March
Low water 21.07 hrs, 1.3 metres, 1001 mbar, 2°C
Season finale, NEasterly swell with very little colour, and a gentle but cold WSWesterly breeze. Fishing down to LWater on a large ebb 1.3 metres, the swell 2-3ft was surging with plenty of pull as it ebbed away. Clear skies with patchy cloud cover was not enough to mask the bright ¾ + moon.
Nine members returned to the scales with 13 codlings
26 lb 08 oz. Man of the Match Brian Harland, his 3rd win this season, 2 codlings 5 lb 00 oz. His HFish 2 lb 12 oz was not enough to beat James ‘Jamsy’ Moore’s only codling 2 lb 14½ oz. This is the James’ 3rd HFish win this month.
Monthly Sweeps were both won by newly crowned 2017 - 2018 Champion Rob Allison - both landed on Wednesday 7th March 10 lb 09 oz (4), and HFish 6 lb 10½ oz
