Match 16 of 50
WSAA 38th Annual Open Competition
8am Sandsend beach 7 - 11 ft Northerly swell
Keep it in the family
Horner brothers - George & John Joe take the silverware
Low water 10.22 hrs, 1.3 metres, 1022 mbar, 4°C
One hundred and nineteen* senior, three* 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. £200 sponsorship and to 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 £160 & £80 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.
