High water 18.29hrs hrs, 5.65 metres, 996 mbar, 12°C, TR 4.9 m
2022 - 2023 Season opener, members met at Whitby Bandstand, Pier Road, for registration, and a group photograph before departing for their chosen marks 18.45hrs, fishing from 19.00hrs.
16 seniors & 1 Junior fished an all ebb match in, at times, very inclement weather conditions. Damp 20-30mph NWesterly winds, 2 metre NWesterly swell with colour. Conditions looked ideal for a fish or two but for some the fish just were not there, literally no bites! The wind did not let up during the 3hr match, at 20.30hrs a squall blew in off the sea, for 20 mins there was torrential rain. Some members reported lots of weed in the surf at the start of the match.
The weigh-in was delayed as the scales were moved & set up in the Fleece yard due to heavy rainfall. Once set up Peter Horbury oversaw the weigh-in of 29 assorted fish - 25 codlings, 3 r’lings, & 1 flounder. Last year’s champion Dave Hambley, Staithes, in his title defence won both Man of the Match, & HFish - 3 lb 08½ oz. Dave weighed-in 6 codlings for the only ‘double figure bag’ of the night 10 lb 05 oz.
WSAA welcomes 3 new members, Ryan Collinson, RHB, Lewis Plews (Jnr), RHB and Lewis Wright, Whitby, all three got themselves off to a good start with a weigh-in. From his bag of 4 fish Ryan weighed-in a codling of 3 lb 05 oz, and was 3rd overall - 6 lb 09 oz - well done.
Reminder - October - Monthly Sweeps start, and you have to be in it to win it. Entry is strictly payment in advance for the full six months £12 HBoFish & £12 HFish - Total £24 in a named sealed envelope to Peter Horbury.
Results:- 43 lb 02 oz - 25 codlings, 3 r’lings, 1 flounder

Hambley sets the bar
HFish - 5 lb 04 oz
High water 21.17 hrs, 5.00 metres, 1024 mbar, 10°C, TR 2.9m
First Sunday match started in daylight. Conditions were far from ideal, near flat sea state, little to no colour, and a strong Westerly, gusting, 20mph. Commitment to fish was down with just 14 members fishing the 4hr match 18.00 - 22.00hrs. Fishing an all flood tide to HWater 21.17hrs.
Piers were very popular, fish bites for many were non-existent, baits were coming back intact, not even any crab life to pick off baits. With crystal clear skies, a small crescent moon, there was plenty of time for star gazing.
At the scales Peter Horbury oversaw the weigh-in 14 codlings, 6 rocklings, 3 billets and an eel. Man of the Match Dave Hambley, again, with both HFish 5 lb 04 oz, and HBoFish 9 lb 07½ oz (4). Dave has set the bar for the Monthly Sweeps. Ryan Collinson, RHB, had the second best fish 3 lb 01 oz, and stands second on the Leader Board.
Sunday 9th Oct the Knockouts will be drawn, registration with Jason Ebison ASAP.
Results:- 32 lb 05 oz (Av 1 lb 06 oz)

The evening’s 3hr match started in daylight, fishing the last of the ebb and 2½hrs of flood on a slack tide [Tidal Range 2.2m]. Very strong westerly 20-30mph winds. Sea state flat with no colour, the catch forecast was extremely low, reflected with only 13 members fishing. Sofa Hole a strong draw.
Clear skies, the aurora alerts pinged ‘amber’ on the phone, but nothing visible with the naked eye. A few shooting stars to avert the eye from a motionless rod tip - it was a long night. Baits came back untouched, no crab activity, lead loses were high, end tackle dragged into snags by the relentless wind.
At the scales, just 7 members recorded a meagre weigh-in of 20 assorted fish, 13 codlings, 2 billets and 5 rocklings, 25 lb 11 oz. Man of the Match Brian Harland, Whitby, ‘double figure bag’ 10 lb 13 oz [42% of the total catch]. HFish 2 lb 10 oz fell to Colin Stainthorpe, Whitby. Brian tops the Leader Board, albeit by only 12 oz as Dave Hambley fails to weigh-in.
Sunday night Knockout draws.
Before the match had started Peter Horbury retrieved a ‘fish measure’ from under the east pier extension believed to belong to Paul Short [mislaid on Sunday]. This was confirmed upon Paul’s arrival however by 21.00hrs Paul had lost it again - in the sea!
Results:- 25 lb 11 oz (Av 1 lb 05 oz)

Low water 22.45 hrs, 1.23 metres, 1007 mbar, 13°C, TR 4.4
Low pressure, a gusting SSEasterly [20-30+mph] wind, near flat sea state with no colour for Sunday nights 4hr match. Low water was not until 22.45hrs, therefore the 14 members had a choice to fish the cliffs/piers for a couple of hours, then drive to LWater marks mid-match as access to the scaurs opened up.
A fresh cliff fall at Robin Hoods Bay was witnessed around 19.00hrs last light, a ½hr after the ‘blood moon’ rose above the horizon. Heavy cloud cover blew in thereafter, the forecast of rain held off until after the weigh-in. The close to shore SSEasterly swell fell away as quickly as the ebbing tide, as did the enthusiasm!
Some members recounted the pain of constantly catching nothing but undersized fish, and the amount of precious bait used. Whilst others did not have a bite all night, with baits coming back untouched - no critter activity.
Eight of the 14 returned to the scales, 11 codlings, 2 billets, 1 LSD, 1 rockling, and a flounder. Last to the scales, Man of the Match, Dave Hambley, Staithes, 3 codlings for 8 lb 14 oz, his best 4 lb 03 oz took HFish of the night. Next best fish, a lesser spotted dog fish [LSD] 2 lb 01 oz Dave Ward, Guisborough.
After the weigh-in Jason Ebison & Rich Deadman did the Knockout draws, overseen by Secretary Peter Horbury. The preliminary rounds will be fished this Wed 12th Oct.

High water 18.25 hrs, 5.5 metres, 1015 mbar, 12°C, TR 4.6 m
Perrett shock weigh-in
Long distance Northerly swell 1½ft with little colour for the 3hr evening match. SWesterly winds 14-21mph brought constant drizzle and a heavy rain shower at 21.00hrs, an unpleasant night. Fishing up and over the top of the tide members reported little to no bites until the ebb took hold. Cliffs and piers were popular with a few travelling with little to no success further afield.
First to the scales Dylan Goldsmith, Whitby, set the bar, his best codling 3 lb 11 oz, a bag of 5 lb 08 oz thereafter no one could match. A pleasant surprise & all smiles on his first match of the season Davey Turnbull, Darlington, slid his only fish in the weigh-pan 4 lb 00½ oz [for HFish having pipped Dylan].
And members waited for Dave Perrett to return [always last!]
Dave Perrett made two attempts to find his best fish [a Mary Poppins bag] - first - 4 lb 00 oz and second - 4 lb 02 oz, pipping Davey Turnbull by 1½ oz for HFish of the night. Thereafter Dave dug another 6 codlings and a rockling out of his bag for the only ‘double-figure’ weigh-in - 17 lb 03½ oz. A remarkable achievement on such a poor night.
Dave has jumped from 7th to 3rd on the Leader Board.

8am Sandsend
Thompson first wins
Sea Scorpion
High water 20.54 hrs, 4.61 metres, 1010 mbar, 9°C, TR 2.2m
The queue of low pressure systems coming across the north atlantic seems endless. Light, but cold SEasterly winds grew in strength throughout the 4hr evening match. Fishing 3hrs of flood over the top of a neap tide, tidal range only 2.2 metres. Catch forecast was extremely low for the fourteen members fishing. Sea state flat, crystal clear, on the sheltered scaurs 1ft of NWesterly swell was evident.
Again piers, and cliffs were popular, with some travelling further afield and sacrificing fishing time in the hope of a weigh-in. Baits were coming back untouched, doesn’t appear to be any crabs to drag end tackle into snags. Sea scorpions, and undersized billets were caught in the first hour as darkness fell. Heavy cloud cover so no star gazing to pass the time!
At the scales Peter Horbury oversaw the weigh-in 14 codlings, 3 billets, 1 pouting/blegg, 1 pollock and a flounder 1 lb 04 oz. Colin Stainthorpe, Whitby, landed both the pollock & flounder having forgotten his head torch at the start of the match.
Man of the Match, Denis Thompson, Lythe, with both HBoFish & HFish, 2 lb 14 oz - his first wins of the season. Denis also had another codling 2 lb 10½ oz.
Wednesday night Singles Knockouts.

Low water 18.32 hrs, 2.9 metres, 1022 mbar, 11°C, TR 1.3m
The afternoons are now closing in, the fishing started in darkness which helped as the water was crystal clear. The flood had only just started to push on by 19.00hrs, the close to shore 2ft NNEasterly swell slowly grew as gulleys filled-in. The wind however was wick, ESEasterly gusting 30mph, full cloud cover, a dry night, and lightning flashes visible Tess-side way.
A neap tide, just 1.3 metres tidal range, unable to reach tangle beds, 17 members & 1 junior were spread far and wide with very mixed results. The wind was the biggest factor to try and overcome. Bows in the line, like sails, picked up fresh bladder rack as they fell into in the surf, and the gusts masked bites.
Many thanks to the lads who set up the scales ready for the first committee member back to start a book. Rich Deadman oversaw the weigh-in - 61 codlings and a rockling for the season’s best tally 110 lb 10 oz. Three double-figure bags, Man of the Match Ryan Collinson, Robinhoods Bay, 15 codlings - 24 lb 13 oz. Some achievement on a Wednesday night, reported ‘my best session 18 casts, 15 fish & dropped 2 off’. Well done from all.
Some better fish showing, Lewis Wright, Whitby, 4 lb 10 oz, pipped by Davey Turnbull, Darlington, 5 lb 02 oz, also pipped by Dave Hambley, Staithes taking HFish of the night 5 lb 12 oz. Both Ryan & Dave lead the Monthly Sweeps.

Late afternoon Sandsend
Perrett dashes Goldsmith’s hopes
Dave Perrett
High water 17.26 hrs, 5.84 metres, 1011 mbar, 13°C, TR 4.5 m
Strong, warm, 13°C SSWesterly winds masked the 1ft long distance Northerly sea state until the land mass gave shelter. Thirteen fishing an all ebb match, with no colour - the catch forecast was low, cliffs & piers were popular. Clear skies and no moonlight [for howl at the moon day] plenty of time [again] for star gazing or watching the RNLI on practice manoeuvres.
Brian Harland, ever the showman, entertained the tourists by landing a codling first cast. Peaked too early, not another bite all night. Baits were coming back untouched, no crab life to drag end tackle into snags. Mid match the evening went very still, the wind eased for nearly an hour.
At the scales Peter Horbury oversaw the weigh-in, 21 codlings, 7 rocklings, & 2 bleggs. Dylan Goldsmith, Whitby, took an early lead, and was hopeful of a double win with his ‘double-figure bag’ 4 codlings 10 lb 09 oz, his best 3 lb 14 oz. Davey Turnbull, Darlington, came close, with his best fish 3 lb 11 oz, to spoiling half of Dylan’s evening.
No surprise, last to the scales Dave Perrett, Whitby, dashed Dylan’s hopes completely with his ‘double figure bag’. Dave pulled his best fat codling out & slid it in the pan - 5 lb 01 oz, adding another 4 codlings, and a rockling 11 lb 01½ oz for his 3rd Man of the Match and second HFish win. Dave reported catching his best fish on the first cast of the evening. Sorry, not your night but don’t give up Dylan.

08.20hrs Sandsend
Hambley forges ahead
Ryan Collinson
High water 19.09hrs, 5.36 metres, 1011 mbar, 11°C, TR 3.8m
Low pressure, anti-clockwise, continues to dominate the weather, unseasonally warm air dragged in off the continent meeting cold air creating heavy downpours. Strong gusting SSWesterly winds 18-32mph, 11°C. Numbers were down due to the Newbiggin Open earlier in the day, just twelve members fishing the evening’s 4hr match. Flat, crystal clear sea state, catch forecast was low, fishing over the top of the tide from cliffs and piers, with some travelling in search of a fish.
Clear skies, no moonlight, plenty of time to point out the North Star from the Plough and admire the shooting stars. It was a long 4hrs, small fish bites kept one alert, and baits came back intact, no crab activity?
Bernard Vasey had set the scales up in the Fleece yard, sheltering from the wind. Just six* of the 12 had a very meagre weigh-in, 6 codlings, 1 rockling. Man of the Match, Dave Hambley, Staithes HBoFish 4 lb 15 oz (2). HFish fell to Ryan Collinson 2 lb 14½ oz.
However when Secretary Peter Horbury & Treasurer Dave Perrett did the paper work. The first casualty of the old adage ‘you have to be in it to win it’, Ryan Collinson forfeits his weight due to none match entry. Therefore HFish of the night fell to Dave Hambley 2 lb 10½ oz. Hopeful a lesson learnt!

AM high water Sandsend
High water 22.48 hrs, 4.9 metres, 997 mbar, 10°C, TR 2.2m
Severe weather warning! Four low pressure systems to the west of Scotland, N Ireland and Wales, and the main one over N Scotland linked up with a high pressure over central Europe. SSWesterly gusting 42mph, and heavy rain forecast. Sea state as flat as a mirror, catch forecast, very low. Text kept coming “Not fishing”, for those that remembered to do so, two fished by default. So just 7 fishing an all flood match, it was a long match.
By match start the rain had eased, and the skies cleared but the wind was relentless until the last hour. Putting the occasional log on the fire it was soon time to leave Sofa Hole and set up for the weigh-in. Many thanks to the Fleece for the warm pumpkin soup.
Man of the Match Ryan Collinson, Robin Hoods Bay, 2 codlings, 1 rockling 3 lb 06 oz, including HFish 1 lb 08 oz. In total 4 codlings and 3 rocklings graced the scales for 6 lb 15 oz.
More low pressure systems to follow with a light possibility of a northerly blow.
Results:- 6 lb 15 oz (Av 1 lb 00 oz)

Low water 20.44hrs, 1.76 metres, 994 mbar, 7°C, TR 3.8m
Dejá vu, SSWesterly winds, gusting 30mph brought heavy rainfall at the start of the 4hr evening match. Text messages ‘not fishing’ received just in time, left just 10 members fishing. Localised close to shore swell 1ft with plenty of colour gave early hope for a fish or two.
The rain was short lived, but by 20.30hrs the heavy cloud cover cleared, revealing an unwelcome bright near full moon. Fishing the last 2¾hrs of ebb, noted did not ebb as forecast (low pressure), members were able to reach the thick tangle beds and gullies.
The strong winds masked fish bites, and with heavily bowed lines, end tackle was dragged into snags with heavy loses. Rods kept low aided bite detection, but not too low for braid to snag on the rocky foreshore. The wind did steadily ease throughout the match. Jason Ebison kept ‘cracking-off’, and sort assistance to check the ceramic rings with a sharp knife, which did not reveal any cracked rings and was able to continue fishing without further hindrance.
At the scales Peter Horbury oversaw the weigh-in from only 5 successful members. Two surprise double-figure bags, the first from Brian Harland, Whitby 11 lb 08 oz (8) 7 codlings, 1 r’ling who was pipped for Man of the Match by Bernard Vasey, Whitby 13 lb 01 oz (8) 7 codlings, 1 r’ling. Bernard also took HFish of the night 3 lb 14 oz, beating Peter Horbury, Whitby 3 lb 02½ oz, who shared 3rd place with Colin Stainthorpe, Whitby.
Christmas match, pencilled in for Sun 8th Jan 2023 may have to be moved again, as it clashes with the Amble Open (depending on numbers thinking of fishing the Open). Committee to meet after Wednesday evening’s weigh-in please.

High water pm Sandsend
Pollock honours Thompson
Denis Thompson
High water 16.24 hrs, 5.48 metres, 1008 mbar, 7°C, TR 4.2m
SWesterly winds forecast to hit 30+mph during Wednesday evening’s 3hr match. Sea state flat with little to no colour. Thin high level cloud cover thankfully masked a full moon within an hour of the start. The only factor in the members favour was the Tidal Range (TR) 4.2m to tempt resident fish in to feed. Again catch forecast was low, with no end in sight for the continuing train of low pressure systems and their SW/S/SEasterly winds, a Northerly blow is required to stir things up.
Fishing started 1½hrs after HWater, an all ebb match, unlike Sunday there would not be time to gain access to tangle beds or gullies until possibly the last hour. To maximise fishing time piers were popular, whilst others travelled to more tidal marks, with very mixed results. The wind strength eased for an hour, shifted WSWesterly, and tried to rain twice.
Of the 14, only 7 members had a weigh-in, 4 codlings, 1 pollock, 1 blegg & 2 rocklings. Man of the Match Denis Thompson, Lythe, took both HBoFish and Hfish with a single pollock 4 lb 12 oz. Secretary Peter Horbury, Whitby, second, had a 3 lb 02 oz codling in his bag (2) 4 lb 04 oz.
Singles Knockouts semi-finals:
Dave Perrett 1 lb 01 oz (1) beat Brian Harland 0 lb 00 oz (0)
David Ward 8 oz (1) beat Dave Hambley 4 oz (1)
Therefore Final - Dave Perrett - V - Dave Ward - Wed 30th Nov.

Many thanks to the Committee members attending after the weigh-in - It was agreed to put back the members Christmas match 1 week to Sunday 15th January 2023 due to a clash with the Amble Open 8th January.

|
Dave Ward - HFish
Codling 5 lb 01 oz |
High water 18.38 hrs, 5.21 metres, 1014 mbar, 10°C, TR 3.4 m
What a cracking summers day, only it is near mid-November, the unseasonal weather continues with everything looking very autumnal! Low pressure systems continue to dominate, possibly for the longest time recorded. Gentle SSEasterly wind, slight localised SSEasterly close to shore swell, crystal clear water, consequently, again, the catch forecast for the 4hr evening match was low. Full cloud cover for the 12 members fishing the all ebb match, bar the first ½hr at top of tide. There was a slight chill in the air by match end 10°C.
Some members had fished the Filey Open so stayed south to maximise the fishing time with good results. Locally head torches & rod tip lights could be seen all over. Piers, Whitby prom, and cliff marks were popular with both members & clubmen from other clubs fishing 17.00-21.00hrs, and pleasure anglers, stopped for some fishing banter.
Remarkably on such a poor night, there was one ‘double-figure bag’ at the scales which pleased Bernard Vasey. Personally I have never caught a pollock but listening to Dave Ward, Guisborough, recall how it nearly ripped his rod from his hands, it had tipped the scales at 3 lb 10 oz. Dave went on to say he also weighed-in two codlings, and a rockling, his best codling 5 lb 01 oz for a surprising 10 lb 01 oz bag.
A well earnt Man of the Match, adding HFish, his first wins in-both this season, saying “it’s about time.” His codling now leads in the Monthly Sweeps as Brian Harland’s HBoFish still leads 11 lb 08 oz (8) Sun 6th Nov.
Dave Perrett, Whitby reported being pestered all night with undersized fish, and then dropping a ‘donkey’ which he could not do anything with.
Doubles Final on Wednesday night.
Results:- 25 lb 02 oz (Av 1 lb 05 oz)

High water 21.12 hrs, 4.62 metres, 978 mbar, 7°C, TR 1.6m
Wednesday morning some welcome NEasterly swell 2ft, SEasterly winds 8-15mph. Nineteen seniors & 1 junior fishing the all flood 3hr evening match to HWater. Once the match started it soon became apparent the sea state had not only grown but was still growing and surging. This caught out more than member, myself included, and we had to make the climb out of our chosen marks and quickly travel to a fishable mark.
Being the first sea for a ‘long time’ pleasure anglers had got to marks first, forcing some into Plan C. On the west pier a holidaying group of ‘anglers’ from Kent had fully ensconced themselves. Fishing 12hrs 12.00 - 00.00hrs, two beach shelter tents had been set up and nailed to the pier, selfishly blocking access to the Northerly edge (you had to see it to believe it). They did not take kindly to those of us (locals) who wanted to gain access to the end. Hopefully their detritus was cleaned up before they left, thankfully alcohol was not involved.
Looking to the east, the skies darkened, the ‘yellow warning’ weather front was moving in, the RNLI enjoying the swell for their evening’s training. The wind started to increase, with strong gusts catching one unaware, at 21.00hrs the heavens opened as a squall hit town & icy cold rain fell.
First back, Bernard Vasey had set up the scales in the Fleece yard away from the inclement weather as the hot soup warmed inside. Fourteen waited patiently for their turn to weigh-in. The individual catches, as expected, low, due to the growing sea until that is Ryan Collinson arrived. His best 6 lb 04½ oz, another 4 lb 13½ oz, and 3 more for Man of the Match 17 lb 02 oz (5). Recounting how he’d dropped two, one a ‘much-better’ fish than his best. Lewis Plews (Jnr) 3 lb 07 oz (1) - well done.
Doubles Knockout Final - Paul Short & Dave Perrett 5 lb 09 oz (3) crowned Champions, beating Brian Harland & Colin Stainthorpe 2 lb 05 oz (1)
Bernard Vasey wishes to remind members - their Open raffle prizes to him ASAP please before the Open.

Low water 19.30 hrs, 2.32 metres, 1005 mbar, 4°C, TR 2.9m
The sea state from Friday & Saturday had died off but it had done its job, stirred-up the sea bed & brought fish in to feed. Social-media showed good bags & a few near double-figure fish from the NEast coastline. The evening’s sea state NEasterly, close to shore swell 2-3ft (swell sets 8-10ft apart), thick with colour. Fishing the last 1½hrs of ebb & 2½hrs of flood, TR 2.9 metres.
The WSWesterly wind 4°C 7-10mph was icy cold, the coldest evenings fishing this season, wind chill made prolonged baiting up painful. Clear skies, ideal for star gazing, however the wind steadily increased in speed and the temperature dropped further, eventually making for a hard overnight frost (the first for 2022).
The high-water shoreline was littered with weed, ripped up in Friday’s seas, thankfully nothing in the surf. Come low water the swell lost some of its impetus in the flood but soon caught up. At the scales Jason Ebison had set-up & started a book, joined by Dave Perrett. They recorded the season’s second best weigh-in 107 lb 63 fish - 47 codlings, 16 rocklings (the best was 111 lb - 62 fish Wed 19th Oct). Remarkably six ‘double-figure bags’ recorded from 16 of 18 who fished.
Man of the Match (his second) Dave Ward, Guisborough, had been pleasure fishing on Saturday night - 7 lb 11 oz his best but could only record 3 lb 04½ oz from his 17 lb 03 oz (8) bag. The evenings HFish fell to Colin Stainthorpe, Whitby - 5 lb 15½ oz Colin’s HFish second win. Nice to see Rob Allison back at the scales, (with raffle Xmas cake) his first match this season.

Low water 21.32 hrs, 1.51 metres, 990 mbar, 6°C, TR 4.2m
Sea state NEasterly swell 1-2ft thick with colour, and an ebbing tide to low water. Seventeen seniors and 1 junior fishing the 3hr evening match gained access to tangle beds and gullies. A pleasant surprise, it was not raining! Clear skies, no moonlight, light SSWesterly breeze, made for a pleasant nights fishing. Swells were regular, no surging, marks did not drain away too quickly therefore not pulling fish out into open water.
Paul Short got off to a bad start in the first 5 minutes, hook snood cut through (limpet/barnacle) first cast on retrieval of a fish, but still had 3 fish in his bag before 19.30hrs!! Nothing I could do but watch, play gillie and lift his fish. Paul’s £20 multiplier auction-buy not up to the job. Then it went quiet, time for a move.
Again thanks to Dylan Goldsmith for setting up the scales. Members were very slow to the scales due to the long walk back to their cars across the empty scaurs laden with fish. Peter Horbury oversaw the weigh-in from 16 seniors & 1 junior recording the best weigh-in to date (just 1 blank). 54 codlings, 9 rocklings, 5 bleggs, 2 billets - 128 lb 03 oz with a better stamp of fish landed 3 & 4 lb’ers.
Man of the Match Brian Harland, Whitby, 20 lb 00 oz, (6) his best two codlings 4 lb 12½ oz & 4 lb 13 oz were pipped by Colin Stainthorpe, Whitby, 4 lb 14½ oz. But there was still more in the queue to weigh-in, Davey Turnbull, Darlington, took HFish of the night by 1 oz @ 4 lb 15½ oz from his bag (2nd double-figure bag) 6 codlings. Davey has the best Average Fish weight - 2 lb 12 oz.

Low water 12.05 hrs, 1.62 metres, 1010 mbar, 9°C, TR 4.0m
On Sunday Whitby Sea Anglers Association held its 43rd annual Open match, fishing from 10.00-16.00hrs. The weigh-in, hot food, and prize presentation was held in the Fleece, Church Street, Whitby. Many thanks to landlady Angela Fiori and her staff.
Conditions for the 6hr match were far from ideal, 1-2ft SSEasterly localised close to shore swell, with plenty of colour everywhere. The SSWesterly wind however was not kind, cold wind chill, 10 gusting 20mph. Overall a dull day, plenty of cloud cover. Eighty two senior anglers, including one lady, and 3 juniors took part for the £600 1st place prize, in part, courtesy of Wilf Nobles Plant Hire & Construction, Ruswarp.
Fishing the last 2hrs of ebb, and 4hrs of flood, the tide turned very quickly, assisted by the wind, anglers soon had to retreat back up the scaurs as the swell gently grew. Fish bites were timid, almost playful, one tap/pull and nothing more.
In the members Club match just 11 weighed-in.
Man of the Match Paul Short, Guisborough 6 mops did not have a single fish worth weighing. The HFish was won by Neil Eglon 3 lb 09½ oz. Lewis Wright was a close second 3 lb 05 oz.
Dave Hambley is the first to join the 100 lb Club.
Due to William Atkinson [recovering from pnuemonia] and Bernard Vasey [sciatica] being unfit to attend the weigh-in.
I personally stopped fishing at 3pm in order to be at the scales by 4pm [with Chris] to set-up the room, and start the weigh-in with Jason Ebison until relieved by Rich Deadman.
Results:- 40 lb 14 oz (Av 1 lb 11 oz)

Hambley 100 lb Club
High water 21.05 hrs, 5.15 metres, 1028 mbar, 3°C, TR 2.7m
Last Sunday 27th, WSAA 43rd annual Open, Dave Hambley was the first to join the 100 lb Club.
Conditions for Wednesday evening’s 3hr match were far from favourable, this was reflected with only 11 fishing. Sea state ENEasterly close to shore swell 1ft, with some colour. A very cold Southerly breeze [a frost by morning], for the best part full cloud cover. A red aurora alert was issued around 19.30hrs but there was no chance of witnessing any light show.
Fishing the last 2hrs of flood & an hour of ebb, local piers, cliffs and beaches were fished in search of anything for a weigh-in. Dave Perrett & Dave Ward were competing for the Singles Knockout trophy. Members spent the match watching a motionless rod tip, even bites were few & far between from undersized fish nee bait robbers. And as yet no whitings on the local beaches which would have provided some entertainment!
The weigh-in [scales had been set up - see photo], 7 members were successful - 7 codlings, 2 billets, 2 flounders [returned alive], and a rockling graced the scales. Man of the Match Dave Hambley, Staithes won both HBoFish 4 lb 06 oz (2), his 5th win, & HFish 3 lb 15½ oz, his 6th win. Well done on such a hard night.
After the weigh-in members enjoyed pork pies and crisps, put on by landlady Angela Fiori - many thanks from all.

3rd win for Harland
There’s a saying ‘when the wind’s in the east, the fish bite the least’, consequently big Easterly seas 6-8ft are far from popular. The swell sets were close together, no colour and surging dangerously. “It was brutal”, quoted one member, and yet pleasure anglers were everywhere. There is no shelter to be had from an Easterly, gusting 20mph+, which brought more than one icy cold rain squall to test the mind set of every angler, ‘is it really worth it?’ More than one said ‘no’ & turned in for an early bath.
Fishing the last 1½hrs of ebb, the easterly blew with the tide, creating a bigger ebb than tabled. Once the tide turned it was straight back, pushing anglers back up the scaurs. Some other Clubmen had fished 10.00-18.00hrs and had very little to show for their effort. Marks that looked perfect, did not fish, whilst others, that looked too heavy, fished. Jason Ebison, Whitby, did his best David Attenborough impression when an adult seal swam past him as he stood in the surf.
At the scales, the weigh-in overseen by Peter Horbury & Jason Ebison, three ‘double-figure bags’ Brian Harland, Whitby, Man of the Match 15 lb 14 oz (9). Ryan Collinson, Robinhoods Bay 14 lb 12 oz (8), and a big well done to new member Lewis Plews, Robinhoods Bay 11 lb 14 oz (6). Lewis is our only Junior member this season, and is mixing it well with the seniors, now lies 11th on the Leader Board.
HFish of the night fell to Denis Thompson, Lythe, 4 lb 03½ oz, there was another 4 lb’er which came from Lewis Plews (Jnr) 4 lb 00½ oz. Nice to see some better fish showing, three 3 lb’ers came from Colin Stainthorpe 3 lb 06 oz, Ryan Collinson 3 lb 08½ oz & Brian Harland 3 lb 13½ oz.
Total catch 39 codlings, 5 rocklings, 1 billet. 13 fished + 1 Jnr
Brian & Denis have set the bar for Decembers Sweeps.
Tales of woe! 1) Denis Thompson reported snapping off his rods’ tip-eye. 2) Dave Perrett returned to his now ‘fallen-over bag’, leads & bait in the water & trace wallet nowhere to be seen. 3) Neil Eglon 6 lb 14 oz (4) forfeited his weight due to none match entry. Like the lottery, you have to be in it, to win it! Lesson learnt.

3rd win for Harland
There’s a saying ‘when the wind’s in the east, the fish bite the least’, consequently big Easterly seas 6-8ft are far from popular. The swell sets were close together, no colour and surging dangerously. “It was brutal”, quoted one member, and yet pleasure anglers were everywhere. There is no shelter to be had from an Easterly, gusting 20mph+, which brought more than one icy cold rain squall to test the mind set of every angler, ‘is it really worth it?’ More than one said ‘no’ & turned in for an early bath.
Fishing the last 1½hrs of ebb, the easterly blew with the tide, creating a bigger ebb than tabled. Once the tide turned it was straight back, pushing anglers back up the scaurs. Some other Clubmen had fished 10.00-18.00hrs and had very little to show for their effort. Marks that looked perfect, did not fish, whilst others, that looked too heavy, fished. Jason Ebison, Whitby, did his best David Attenborough impression when an adult seal swam past him as he stood in the surf.

Low water 21.39 hrs, 1.5 metres, 10146 mbar, 0°C, TR 3.8m
Artic winds and a cold snap named the ‘Troll from Trondheim’, named after a city in central Norway. Consequently the Northeast coastline was given a ‘yellow weather warning’, snow & sleet with temperatures expected to drop below 0°C.
For the 3hr evening match the NWesterly winds 18-24mph, 0°C with the wind chill felt like -4°C, definitely the coldest night to date. Fishing the last 2½hrs of ebb, the long distance [polar] Northerly ground swell, thick with colour, 8-13ft was surging, as bays emptied and then flooded back. One minute stood in ankle deep water, the next waist deep, Brian Harland reported having to bob-up & lift himself above the swell tops.
A full moon, the ‘cold moon’, shone brightly overhead - the name reflects the frigid conditions of December and the increasing grip of winter. Conditions were far from ideal. 18.00hrs watching from high ground in the moonlight it was clear to see. Regular swells were 100 metres apart [12secs], then after a while, each swell would have a second swell ridge right behind it, doubling-up is not indicative for good fishing but still marks were full of anglers.
At the scales, as expected members returned with meagre weigh-ins complaining of the surging, and weed. Then a few members turned up with better than expected bags of fish. Jonny Watson, Guisborough, was first with a ‘double-figure bag’. 10 lb 02 oz inc. a codling 4 lb 06½ oz. Just as we thought everyone had weighed-in, Davey Turnbull, Darlington arrives, and the scales are switched back on. Best fish first!! 7 lb 10½ oz, a spragg followed by 7 more for Man of the Match - 26 lb 05½ oz - Davey was complaining “I hadn’t had a bite in the last 1½ hrs”.
Davey leads in the Monthly Sweeps both HBoF & HF [yes he remembered to enter this season] but admitted driving straight home on Sunday with a 3 lb’er in the boot, ‘if weighed-in’ he’d now be in the 100lb Club!
Total catch 40 codlings, 5 rocklings, 45 fish, exactly the same as Sunday gone.
Davey Turnbull caught more fish in one 3hr match than I'caught all season!!

Harland tops Leader Board
Brian Harland HFish 5 lb 11 oz
High water 1747 hrs, 5.28 metres, 1010 mbar, -2°C, TR 3.3m
The artic winds, nee the ‘Troll from Trondheim’, continues to dominate the weather, with no let-up in sight. Northerly sea state continues, 4-7ft with plenty of colour. A change in wind direction, Westerly, 6mph. Late afternoon the coastline was shrouded in freezing fog, a real pea-souper, visibility down to 10yds. The daytime temperatures never lifted above -2°C, wind chill made baiting up painful on the fingers, gloves a necessity.
During the day members had had the opportunity to fish the Cloughton Open, a HFish match, well done Dave Ward, Guisborough, 8th overall, a codling 4 lb 12½ oz [now leads HFish out of WSAA Match]. Consequently only 12 fished the Clubs evening match, of those 4 had fished the Open gluttons for punishment!
Once members got fishing it was quickly apparent the sea state was still surging in the all ebb match, which started 10mins after HWater. Within an hour the moon broke through the fog giving members a better visual warning of the incoming swells.
Members admitted a lot of HWater marks were too heavy, but some members stayed in the hope the swell strength would dissipate on outer reefs in the ebb - it did not. Those that made the early decision to move were rewarded.
Disappointingly the scales had not been set up by the first members back one a Committee member, ready for the evenings weigh-in, saying it was too cold to stand outside! Peter Horbury & Rich Deadman oversaw the 31 codlings and 1 billet to grace the scales. Four double-figure bags with a better stamp of fish showing, all fresh run, no stock red tangle fish.
Man of the Match Brian Harland, Whitby 18 lb 08 oz (9) also had the HFish 5 lb 11 oz. Rob Taylor, Whitby, was one who moved, but not before he had a 10 lb bag (4) inc 3 lb 09 oz & 3 lb 10½ oz, as his first choice mark became unfishable. Davey Turnbull, Darlington 14 lb (4) having fished all day was keen to get home. Dave Hambley, Staithes, another who read the sea state well, and moved having caught 2 codlings early on. 11 lb 10 oz (5) inc a codling 4 lb 06 oz, now second on the Leader Board.
At match end some members doubted whether they could split their rod’s ferrules and all were covered glistening ice, formed by the freezing fog.

Results:- 72 lb 14 oz (Av 2 lb 04 oz)

High water 19.40 hrs, 4.86 metres, 1009 mbar, -3°C, TR 2.5m
Low pressure in the Bay of Biscay, high pressure over Iceland joined forces to continue drawing the arctic weather over the UK. Locally we had snow showers from first light continuing during the day, causing traffic to grind to a halt with many accidents, Lythe Bank was for shut for a few hours while gritters worked & cars were towed out of hedge backs. Similar problems at Pond Hill, Scarborough, Blue Bank, Sleights, old winter favourites.
Sea state Northerly, thick with colour, the biggest sea we have had this season, it had grown throughout the day to over 11ft, and surging. NNWesterly wind gusting 21mph, it was an extremely cold night -3°C possibly -7°C with the wind chill. “The coldest conditions I’ve every fished” exclaimed Ryan Collinson.
Weed was a big problem, not just strands of bladder rack or fine sea grasses, but complete kelp stalks & fronds. Consequently Whitby East pier was unfishable, as was the Southerly side of Whitby West. Within minutes end tackle was dragged away. Piers, and cliff marks were very popular but surprisingly nothing came off the cliffs. It seems the fish have moved off the scaurs onto the sand in search of food [on gutting fish, their stomachs were found to be empty]. By match end the slush on the piers, roads and streets were sheet ice, and extremely slippery even with studded boots!
Star gazing was a bonus for the 3hrs, completely clear skies enabled anglers to watch the last evening of the Geminids meteor shower. Fishing the last hour of flood & over top of tide on such a big sea was never going to be easy, with the added weather, some started the match then opted to join those already in Sofa Hole, texting-in “Gone home”. Just 13 [tried to] fish with 7 weighing-in 18 codlings 39 lb 07 oz, the seasons Av/Fish is now 1 lb 12 oz, up an ounce from Sunday.
First to the weigh-in Davey Turnbull was keen to make his way back to Darlington, 3 codlings - 8 lb 06 oz best 3 lb 06 oz is closing in on 2nd Place Dave Hambley, just 5 lb 02 oz adrift.
Man of the Match, his fourth, new member Ryan Collinson, Robinhoods Bay, 6 codlings, an ounce short of a ‘double-figure bag’ - 9 lb 15 oz. His best 2 lb 14 oz was beaten by Dylan Goldsmith, Whitby, for HFish of the night 4 lb 15½ oz. Waiting in the Fleece hospitality, a hot vegetable soup, shared by just 3 members and the other punters.
Dave Perrett, Whitby, has joined the 100 lb Club.

Low water 17.33 hrs, 2.68 metres, 1003 mbar, 3°C, TR 2.1m
The last Sunday match before the Christmas break, an all flood match, started a ½hr after LWater on a neap tide. Long distance Northerly swell 4ft thick with colour. A few light snow flurries before turning into light rain at match start, footpaths and coastal paths were slick and dangerous. SEasterly wind 3°C still had a bite to it, wind chill, wet hands, made baiting up painful.
Once fishing, it soon became apparent there was surging, whiteouts then calm, but manageable. Thankfully no weed problems reported unlike Wednesday. The SEasterly wind, gusting 30mph hampered casting and bite detection. Full cloud cover until 20.00hrs, the snow/rain laden clouds blown out to sea looked menacing on the horizon. Members reported marks looked perfect at match start but no bites, nothing, so they moved early on, (again) making good choices to find the fish, and were rewarded.
At the scales, members had to be very careful, the black ice was melting and treacherous under foot. Just 7 members were successful, returning with 17 codlings, 1 billet, & 1 rockling from the 13 fishing. First up Lewis Plews (Jnr), Saltburn, just one fish 3 lb 15 oz, he was rightly hopeful for a HFish win.
Dave Ward, Guisborough, the first of two ‘double-figure bags’ - 11 lb 04 oz (6) was one who correctly moved to find the fish, his best 2 lb 12½ oz. This is Dave’s 3rd HBoFish win.
Davey Turnbull, Darlington, the second ‘Double-figure bag’ - 10 lb 02 oz (3). Davey also took HFish of the night 6 lb 02 oz. Next time Lewis.
Remarkably in the last 4 consecutive matches Davey Turnbull has weighed-in 58 lb 14 oz (18) Av/Fish 3 lb 04 oz. Davey has definitely got the bit between the teeth, now stands 2nd on the Leader Board, only 4 lb 08 oz behind leader Brian Harland. Hopefully no more little voices saying ‘turn-right to Darlo’ with 3lb’ers in the boot!! Ever ounce counts from now on Davey!
Results:- 38 lb 11 oz (Av 2 lb 01 oz)

14.00hrs high water Sandsend
Turnbullator Christmas No.1
Davey Turnbull
Low water 20.23 hrs, 1.87 metres, 1005 mbar, 2°C, TR 3.4 m
The half-way stage of the Season, members can enjoy a two week break for Christmas. Sea state, swell 2ft Northerly, thick with colour for the 3hr Wednesday evening match. Icey cold SWesterly winds gusting 30+ mph which severely hampered casting and bite detection. It was a totally cloudless & moonless night plenty of time for star gazing with numerous shooting stars. Low water 20.23hrs, 1.87 metres allowed the 17 members to get out onto the open scaurs and fish the gullies & tangle beds.
The swells were regular, no surging and no weed, just a total lack of bites for the 3hrs. Short casts, long casts, overhead blob all tried, the fish just were not there for than half of members.
Members were slow to the scales, fishing right up to time before the long walk/climb back to the car. Text messages kindly received “Gone home safe.” Heaviest Fish first, started at 1 lb 10 oz, with the best at 2 lb 04 oz until that is Mr Turnbullator turned up at 22.25hrs. Davey Turnbull, Darlington, fumbled in his bag and pulled a fine fat codling 5 lb 09 oz, with a rocking made 6 lb 01½ oz. Clinching his 2nd HBoFish & 4th HFish wins. “I lost a better fish” recounted Davey “I kept trying to re-catch him, but ran out of time.”
Just 6 of the 17 managed a weigh-in, 11 codlings, 2 rocklings.
Month ending, December is definitely Davey’s, landing 19 codlings, 1 rockling for 65 lb 00 oz in 5 matches, [20 lb bar 2 ounces more than Brian Harland]. Giving Davey a Dec Av/Fish of 3 lb 04 oz, and 2 lb 15 oz for the season to date. Davey now tops the Leader Board by 1 lb 10 oz from Brian Harland. My records indicate Davey has only fished 15 of the 25 matches fished, and gone straight home with fish in the boot!!!!
December’s catch - 172 fish - 158 codlings, 13 rocklings, 3 billets
340 lb 13 oz - Av/Fish 2 lb 00 oz

13.00hrs Sandsend
Short & Stainthorpe share honours
Paul Short
Low water 20.42 hrs, 1.88 metres, 1011 mbar, 9°C, TR 2.0 m
Over the Christmas break members had chance to fish a couple of matches. Of note WSAA Member David Ward, Guisborough, had some success. In the Redcar & Cleveland Sea Anglers match Tues 27th Dec, David weighed-in the HFish - 4 lb 13½ oz. Now recorded as the HFish caught Out of WSAA Competition for the David "Sten" Stonehouse Memorial Sandsend Trophy.
Then in the Cloughton Rock Anglers Festive Sweepstakes Fri 30th Dec, David won the HBoFish match - 10 lb 15 oz, both recorded in the Members Trophy Cabinet [on the web site].
First match of the new year, Match 26 of 50. Sea state near flat with a slight close to shore Northerly lift [less than a foot], thick with colour, low pressure over Iceland dominating, strong Westerly wind 22, gusting 37 mph. Numbers fishing well down, eight plus 1 junior due to poor conditions and the dreaded cold/chest/flu complaint going around.
At the weigh-in, overseen by Peter Horbury [didn’t fish, still recovering] just 6 members managed a very meagre weigh-in - 5 rocklings, 3 codlings, & a billet - 8 lb 10 oz.
Man of the Match, with his first win Colin Stainthorpe, Whitby 2 lb 10 oz (2), Colin’s best 2 lb 03½ oz was not enough as the HFish of the night 2 lb 05 oz went to Paul Short, Guisborough, also with his first win.
Paul Short was the only mover on the Leader Board - up one to 9th.
Results:- 8 lb 10 oz (Av 15 oz)

15.00hrs Sandsend
Hambley 6 lb’er shock
Dave Hambley
High water 16.56 hrs, 5.48 metres, 985 mbar, 4°C, TR 4.0 m
First Sunday match of the New Year, and enthusiasm was understandably low, low pressure systems continue dominating the weather, just 9 fished. Some members had elected to travel north and fish the Amble Open [fishing 08.00 - 12.30hrs] an early start or overnight stay? Either way the conditions were the same, day or night, the sea state was flat, strong SSWesterly wind, gusting 30mph with the threat of a rain shower.
Water was thick with colour, 4hrs fishing, all ebb, which started 1hr after HWater, the catch forecast was understandably low. Unable to gain access to the scaurs until well into the match, leaving piers, and cliff marks the best options to maximise fishing time. The sea state has been flat for too long, leaving one to assume that fish have probably moved into deeper water to start spawning. A hard time of year, and as yet no whitings.
Two nights after the full moon, the waning ‘Wolf moon’ made a brief appearance above the horizon before heavy cloud cover thankfully obscured it. Alternating a two hook flapper and a single pulley rig, fresh mussel and frozen blacks got the most attention, however only from small bait robbing fish.
The 4hrs soon passed, and at the scales Dave Hambley, Staithes, took his 6th Man of the Match, and 7th HFish of the night wins. His best 6 lb 03 oz and another 2 lb 6 oz made the winning bag 8 lb 09 oz. Recalling that he was on the phone when the 6 lb’er very nearly took his rod from its perch. A remarkable achievement of such a poor night, well done Dave.
Dave has retaken the top spot on the Leader Board leaving Davey Turnbull, with a 6 lb 05 oz deficit.
Sunday is the members Christmas match, fishing 14.00 - 19.00hrs with the weigh-in 19.00 - 19.45hrs and meal at the Grosvenor, Robinhoods Bay.

First Sunday match of the New Year, and enthusiasm was understandably low, low pressure systems continue dominating the weather, just 9 fished. Some members had elected to travel north and fish the Amble Open [fishing 08.00 - 12.30hrs] an early start or overnight stay? Either way the conditions were the same, day or night, the sea state was flat, strong SSWesterly wind, gusting 30mph with the threat of a rain shower.
Water was thick with colour, 4hrs fishing, all ebb, which started 1hr after HWater, the catch forecast was understandably low. Unable to gain access to the scaurs until well into the match, leaving piers, and cliff marks the best options to maximise fishing time. The sea state has been flat for too long, leaving one to assume that fish have probably moved into deeper water to start spawning. A hard time of year, and as yet no whitings.

Collinson’s double ‘win’
|
|
High water 18.35 hrs, 5.37 metres, 1000 mbar, 4°C, TR 3.4 m
Low pressure continues to dominate, the only difference, the wind direction, WSWesterly, gusting 40mph, sea state flat with colour. An all ebb 3hr match, starting a ½hr after HWater (Whitby). Catch forecast was extremely low, reflected by just 8 members fishing (1 by default), as the rest had texted-in - not fishing. Clear skies at the start soon clouded over but not before a bright orange moon rose above the horizon.
A scratching match, I opted to fish the sand for flat fish, and possibly whitings, 2 hook flappers, frozen blacks and mackerel baits of choice, alternating with scallop & fresh muscle to tempt billets. Not a single bite until 21.20hrs, landing a flounder hopes were high of a ‘weigh-in’, dashed as it was 3mm undersized.
Having set the scales up in the Fleece yard for protection from the wind, just 3 members recorded a weigh-in, which when combined recorded the worst weigh-in this season - 5 assorted fish - 5 lb 09 oz. 2 codlings, 1 flounder, 1 dab, and the season’s first whiting, thanks to Brian Harland.
Man of the Match, Ryan Collinson, Robin Hoods Bay, also fished the sand, reported catching 7 undersized fish, and 2 fish of size. Ryan had targeted flat fish at the start of the match over HWater and was rewarded with a flounder of 1 lb 00 oz, and HFish of the night 1 lb 14 oz, having switched to 4/0’s to target codlings.
Ryan now has 5 HBoFish wins & 3 HFish wins (which includes ‘potentially’ the season’s Wooden Spoon Award for ‘Lightest-Fish’ to win HFish. A codling 1 lb 08 oz Wed 2nd Nov ’22). The way the season is going this could be broken in the remaining 21 matches. Recorded in the WSAA Archives there are instances where nothing had been weighed-in!
Dave Perrett, Whitby, reported hooking a codling, but after 4 attempts to let the fish swim free from a snag, had to resort to the ‘do or die’ pull free, and lost.
Davey Turnbull, Darlington opted for Sofa Hole allowing Brian Harland, Whitby, to take 2nd place on the Leader Board from him. At this time of year places can be won/gained by persistence, just plugging away with meagre scratching weigh-ins. Current leader, Dave Hambley, Staithes, is now the only member who has recorded more than the competitive 5 lb match average, just 5 lb 01 oz in excess.
Tight lines for the members Christmas match on Sunday.

Low water 15.18 hrs, 2.38 metres, 994 mbar, 6°C, TR 2.3 m
Fishing from 14.00 - 19.00hrs it was the members Christmas match [1 month late due to the World Cup] followed by an excellent meal and presentation at the Grosvenor, Robinhoods Bay.
The sea state had grown massively from first light. NNWesterly swell 10ft+, thick with colour, however it was surging aggressively. A surging, growing sea is far from ideal, and many members do not like such conditions. Bright sunshine at match start soon clouded over, a chilly WNWesterly wind 6°C in daylight dropped to 2°C by match end. Weed was a problem for a few, forcing them to move, whilst others were totally clear for the entire match.
At the scales Peter Horbury & Jason Ebison oversaw the weigh-in outside the Grosvenor. Lewis Plews (Jnr), Robinhoods Bay, 2nd overall weighed in a PB codling 5 lb 04 oz. Keeley Fairbanks, Thorpe Willoughby, 7th overall registered her first weigh-in, and the ladies HFish 2 lb 03½ oz.
No surprise to Man of the Match as conditions suited Davey Turnbull, Darlington, 4 codlings - 18 lb 04½ oz, also weighed HFish 6 lb 02½ oz winning the Michael Deadman Memorial Trophy. Davey has regained the No.1 spot on the Leader Board, by 10 lb over Dave Hambley, notching up his 6th HFish, & 3rd HBoFish wins. He now also leads in the HBoFish Monthly Sweeps but missed out by ½ oz to level HFish of the Month with Dave Hambley (@ 6lb 03 oz).
One or two better fish showing - Briand Harland 4 lb 11 oz, Paul Short 4 lb 07 oz, & Ryan Collinson 3 lb 08 oz.
The best weigh-in for January to date - 82 lb 08 oz - 32 codlings, 3 rocklings, the Seasons Av/Fish is now 1 lb 12 oz.
Having lost my end tackle and some line on my first cast, it was a pleasant surprise (& a weigh-in) to pull it all in on my fifth cast, complete with a rockling!
Results:- 82 lb 08 oz (Av 2 lb 06 oz)

Low water 18.58 hrs, 2.3 metres, 1001 mbar, -1°C, TR 2.5 m
The WSAA member’s 3hr evening match started at LWater on a neap tide, just 2.5 metres between tides. The NNWesterly sea state was still running from Sunday’s Christmas match. It was forecasted to increase to 13ft, but thankfully had started to wane from midday. This change in sea state caught a few out as ‘sofa hole’ was their option. By 19.00hrs the swell sets were regular with no surging. The NWesterly wind, clear skies, on the other hand had not let up 16 gusting 30mph, and very cold - with wind chill -3°C [the sand above the HWater line was frozen as were access footpaths].
Once the match was underway weed was a problem, and lots of it, as soon as end tackle hit the water, rods were pulled over. A move was required that cut travel time to a minimum. Or walk to a nearby mark and risk similar conditions. For others it was weed free but pestered by undersized pin codlings.
Members were quick to return, road works, detours and traffic lights, meant members packed up early to make the weigh-in. Ten seniors and 1 junior fished with 8 seniors returning to the scales, 17 codlings, & 1 rockling. Members enjoyed a most welcome hot vegetable potage in the Fleece after the weigh-in.
Man of the Match, his 5th, Brian Harland, Whitby, 3 codlings for 8 lb 10½ oz. He had two good fish 3 lb 13 oz & 3 lb 09½ oz but not good enough for HFish of the night. Brian moves up into second on the Leader Board, leaving a 7 lb 01 oz deficit for Dave Hambley in 3rd and a 7 lb 09 oz deficit to first place Davey Turnbull. No doubt these three will continue to swop places in the remaining 18 matches, and not to discount new member Ryan Collinson.
Dave Ward, Guisborough, took the HFish honour, his 2nd, with a codling 4 lb 02½ oz, a lovely light coloured fresh run sand fish, and 2 codlings for second place 6 lb 15½ oz.
Only two members have maintained the req’d 5 lb match average weigh-in to be competitive, Brian Harland & Davey Turnbull who also has the highest Av/fish of 2 lb 15 oz which is some achievement.
Sunday 12th February has been picked for the Secretary’s Challenge Trophy match Cloughton - V - Whitby, just awaiting confirmation from Cloughton Rocks.

‘You are joking?’ asks Hambley
Dave Hambley
Low water 22.46 hrs, 0.92 metres, 1034 mbar, 2°C, TR 3.9 m
Sea state, flat calm, no colour, high pressure now in charge. With HWater only 1¾hrs back, 5.8 metres, it was a case of fish a HWater mark & then travel once cut off points were safe to pass, or stay at home and start an hour or so late.
During the day members had the opportunity to fish the Jamie Richardson Memorial match [heaviest single fish], fishing 09.00 - 15.00hrs. 130 seniors & 1 Jnr fished with just 12 weighing-in, won by Freddie Barker, Scarborough 4 lb 07 oz 02 drms.
Sofa Hole was very popular, and after a poor days fishing not many were keen for another 4hrs, leaving just 10 WSAA members fishing the evening match with an extremely low catch forecast. Little to no wind, 100% cloud cover it was a pleasant evening until 20.40hrs when a very brisk & extremely cold Southerly wind picked up. Wind chill made baiting up painful on wet fingers. Alternating between a two hook flapper and pennel pulley rig I caught 8 undersized billets and one lobster claw.
Members reported the tide flew out, [the biggest ebb this season 0.9m, coupled with high pressure] quickly revelling kelpless gullies! For a while now members have been reporting marks have lost all their kelp beds, the acres of waving fronds have gone, leaving stalks. Is this kelp bed devastation related to the pyridine from the River Tees dredging, and mass die off of crustaceans? If there is no underwater forest to harbour sea life ie the lower food chain to live, what’s next?
At the scales, a stunned Dave Hambley, Staithes, asks ‘You are joking, I’m the only one with fish, wow?’ Dave was indeed the only one to weigh-in - 3 lb 13 oz, 2 codlings, his best 2 lb 08 oz. Dave now has 8 HF & 7 HBoFish wins. Dave’s Av/fish is 2 lb 01 oz, a long way from Davey Turnbull’s 2 lb 15 oz. Dave now tops the Sunday League leaving a 2 lb 06 oz deficit for Brian Harland.
Results:- 3 lb 13 oz (Av 1 lb 15 oz)

“Just the one” - Hambley
Dave Hambley
High water 18.34 hrs, 5.97 metres, 1030 mbar, 4°C, TR 4.5 m
The NWesterly wind had been forecasted to pick up on the flood [noon], by match start 19.00hrs, sure enough a NWesterly swell 1ft was growing, more surface blash at first. A growing sea, now on the ebb, is not to everyones liking but the same for all, just 10 members fishing, again catch forecast was low. Crystal clear water, clear skies and a small waxing crescent moon turned orange and fell below the horizon mid match. Members were spread far & wide, piers and beaches fished for a weigh-in, another scratching match.
Fishing was extremely slow, conversation turned to the green comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), due to be visible [clear skies] Wed 1st Feb. The wind steadily increased in strength, hampering casting, and bite detection. Facing the wind members got cold very quickly with a number throwing in the towel before time. Not a bite for the first two hours, no rocklings, billets nor pin cod! A change of tack, using the wind to launch a bait out into the tide it wasn’t long before a well hooked codling was in the fish bag, but alas no more. Single 5/0 pulley rig loaded with peeler & frozen blacks.
Sheltering from the wind, the scales had been set up in the Fleece yard. First up Dave Ward, Guisborough, fished the sand, 4 dabs for 2 lb 00 oz. Next, “just the one” says Dave Hambley, Staithes, as he slid a fine spragg 7 lb 07½ oz in the pan. Winning both Man of the Match & HFish of the night. His HFish also takes the lead in the Monthly Sweeps, with just one match of Jan left.
Dave Hambley’s deficit to leader Davey Turnbull now 3 lb 05 oz passing Brian Harland by 4 lb 04 oz - 18 matches left.
One for the diary - Sunday 12th February ’23.

Turnbull - Top Rod
Davey Turnbull
High water 22.03 hrs, 4.94 metres, 1016 mbar, 8°C, TR 2.5 m
Last match of January, an all flood match to HWater, another scratching match. Very strong Westerly winds, 23 gusting 37mph, 80% cloud cover and no moon light. During the day a slight long distance Northerly swell had been trying to grow, knocked back by the off shore winds. By match start there was 1ft of regular swells, with colour.
Eleven members were spread far & wide seeking that all important weigh-in, just one fish would do. So imaging getting all kitted up, and within 40yds, you’re walking back to your car - no head torch, and home is Guisborough. Thankfully for Paul Short I had a spare my bag - panic over.
The wind was a problem, for both casting and bite detection, you were reliant on fish self-hooking. Fishing the beach for the first time, 70 lb shock leader, 20 lb mainline for distance and less wind drag. Scaling down to 2/0’s, two hook flapper rigs looking for flat fish, and possibly a whiting or passing codling, however only a pin cod and an undersized billet were caught. Fishing was very slow, unless you had fresh lug worm. Then it was ‘fish a chuck’ undersized though!
20.30hrs a ½hr of rain, and then the wind dropped before returning with vengeance WNWesterly with increase vigour. As the tide pushed-in some shelter was gained from the land mass.
Waiting with the scales set up in the Fleece yard, texts started “Gone home, safe.” Scales closed at 22.30hrs, just 3 members had weighed-in, 4 codlings, 8 lb 07 oz. Man of the Match was a very happy and giddy Davey Turnbull, Darlington 1 codling 4 lb 06 oz. Davey’s stats - 11 wins - 7 HBoFish & 4 HFish. Remarkably his Av/Fish is now 3 lb 00 oz. 55 fish for 164 lb 07 oz.
January [8 matches]
91 assorted fish - 68 codlings, 14 rocklings, 5 dabs, 2 billets, 1 flounder & 1 whiting
172 lb 09 oz [Av 1 lb 14 oz].
January’s Monthly Sweeps winners:-

High water 13.00hrs Sandsend
Low water 19.36 hrs, 2.27 metres, 1019 mbar, 7°C, TR 2.2 metres
Two ‘double-figure bags’
Sea state for the mid-week match, long distance Northerly swell 6-9ft, brisk Westerly wind, gusting 30mph. A bright ¾ moon hidden behind 90% cloud cover thankfully did not make a full appearance. No chance of seeing the ‘green comet’, it will however be back in 50,000 yrs!
Paul Short, lesson learnt, had packed two head torches, with a third stored in his car [for emergency use]. Although I did have to pick up his coat at the end of the track before the match had even started.
Fishing, allegedly the last 40 mins of ebb, unexplained the ebb just kept going and going. There was some surging nothing drastic with no draw back as one might have expected. The flood did not start until 21.10hrs, and even then it did not rush in. Minimal weed, just some bladder rack in the surf, end tackle was stable in the surf with no loss. Four good bites but no fish, on retrieve the hook was upside down.
Of the 14 seniors and 1 junior fishing, 9 plus the junior had a weigh-in. 34 codlings, 4 rocklings for 74 lb 06 oz best fish 6 lb 05 oz from match winner S Ingleston, Whitby.
Results:- 74 lb 06 oz (Av 2 lb 00 oz)

The flood did not start until 21.10hrs, and even then it did not rush in. Minimal weed, just some bladder rack in the surf, end tackle was stable in the surf with no loss. Four good bites but no fish, on retrieve the hook was upside down.
Of the 14 seniors and 1 junior fishing, 9 plus the junior had a weigh-in. 34 codlings, 4 rocklings for 74 lb 06 oz best fish 6 lb 05 oz from match winner S Ingleston, Whitby.

16.00hrs High water Sandsend
Harland keeping pace
Dave Hambley
Low water 22.30 hrs, 1.51 metres, 1048 mbar, 1°C, TR 3.5m
Extremely high pressure 1048mb, a bright sunny February day, a crisp dry WSWesterly breeze. Sea state ‘was’ 2-4ft Northerly at HWater 16.09hrs however on the turn of the tide it died. With little to no colour, catch forecast was low for the 15 fishing the 4hr evening match. High altitude cloud masked the full moon, the ‘Snow Moon’, giving it a rainbow coloured halo.
The ebb was fast, one cast and move further down the scaurs nearer the tangle beds, and gullies. For many bites were non-existent, or constantly pestered by very small fish. In the last hour, 21.00hrs and the wind shifted, Southerly, increasing in strength, and the temperature dropped significantly.
Nice to see Bernard Vasey at the scales, although not fit enough to fish, the scales were ready. Just 8 managed a weigh-in, 10 codlings, 3 rocklings, and a billet - 23 lb 06 oz.
Man of the Match Brian Harland, Whitby, his 5th, 3 codlings, a billet - 6 lb 06 oz. Brian Harland in 3rd Place on the Leader Board is only 5 lb adrift but persistently keeps nibbling away with a weigh-in.
Holding back, and waiting his turn, last to the scales Dave Hambley, Staithes, opened his Mary Poppins bag and slide a fine codling 5 lb 10½ oz in the pan, his 9th HFish win. Dave is keeping pace with Davey Turnbull, Darlington, only 1 lb 06 oz separates them for the Championship, just 15 matches left.
Results:- 23 lb 06 oz (Av 1 lb 11 oz)

15.00hrs Sandsend
Double win Short
Paul Short
High water 17.39 hrs, 5.46 metres, 1024 mbar, 5°C, TR 3.9m
Conditions for the Wednesday evening 3hr match were very poor. High pressure NEast of Iceland brought strong, gusting SSWesterly winds, 20 - 40mph. Sea state 1ft close to shore Northerly swell, no colour. All ebb, a scratching match for the 10 members fishing. Aurora alerts but no chance of seeing with full cloud cover, only the orange glow of the moon rising above the horizon 20.00hrs.
Typical, you arrange to meet someone at a mark, they are late. I had already cast in before he’d arrived, the excuse, following a bus following a cyclist having taken the coast road and not the moor road. Within 5 mins of him casting in, I’m playing gilly all before 19.30hrs! Well done Paul Short lovely fish on such a poor night.
And it didn’t get any better for me, one 32cm codling followed by another at 28cm. Fresh mussel and peeler cocktail seemed to be the preferred bait. The wind was fickle, although behind us, for a while it would be a gentle breeze, virtually nothing, then the full 40 mph force, and repeat. It didn’t hamper casting nor bite detection but it was extremely cold.
Bernard Vasey, not fishing, had ventured out again, set up the scales in the Fleece yard for some shelter. As I predicted [at the time], Paul Short, Guisborough, was Man of the Match, both HFish & HBoFish 2 lb 13 oz.
Brian Harland, Whitby, weighed a whiting of 1 lb 03 oz, having checked the records, this is a joint 3rd heaviest whiting caught by a WSAA member. James ‘Jamsy’ Moore, Wed 6th Feb 2019.
In total 2 rocklings, 1 codling, 1 billet, 1 whiting, 1 flounder for the second poorest weigh-in this season at 5 lb 08 oz.

Low water 14.00 hrs, 2.03 metres, 1036 mbar, 10°C, TR 3.2m
Secretary’s Challenge Trophy - Cloughton - V - Whitby
Cloughton Rocks were hosts to Whitby Sea Anglers, fishing from 10.00 - 16.00hrs within the boundaries Robinhoods Bay landing scaur to Coble Landing, Filey. A Team effort to win the tankard with the best Team aggregate weight. Whitby put up an 8 man team whilst Cloughton Rocks had 12. Each Club put £50 in the kitty, and each angler £5 - giving £200. £100 towards HBoFish, 1st, 2nd & 3rd and the other £100 towards HFish 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
Sea state Northerly 3ft, with colour, however the swell sets were neither regular nor consistent on the ebb. There were periods of calm followed by half a dozen 3ft swells, and a little later some 6ft swells. Almost as if the swell was trying to grow on the ebb, and the ebb won. After 14.00hrs, LWater, the swells did even out to a more regular pattern. A slight SSWesterly breeze for most of the day, which turned colder and strengthened mid-afternoon.
The majority did not have a bite throughout the 6 hr match. And those that did had tales of woe when fish dropped off, or dumped, in the surf as the fish neared the shoreline. Overall of the 20 fishing just 9 weighed-in 20 codlings - 39 lb 01 oz. After the weigh-in at the Red Lion, Cloughton, anglers enjoyed refreshments, and sandwiches (many thanks) before the presentation.

4 oz rockling wins!
Peter Horbury
Low water 17.00 hrs, 2.5 metres, 1018 mbar, 4°C, TR 2.2m
Is it summer already? During the day bright sunshine interrupted by a short shower mid-afternoon, a mirror flat sea state, and a chilly SSWesterly. For the evening match, all flood on a neap tide, a scratching match for sure. Catch forecast was extremely low, and hence why only 7 were fishing. Can’t help but think some have already cleaned and packed their kit away - season over.
No colour in the water, and by nightfall the wind had picked up 20mph+. Phone ‘pinging’ with Aurora alerts but with 100% cloud cover to the North there was no chance of a light show. The only lights were from tourists walking down the piers to witness the RNLI on practice manoeuvres.
Beach or pier, with few whitings showing this year it was pier, however being half-term parking was a problem? Unsurprisingly there weren’t many anglers out, just me on one pier and another member on the other. Using a two hook 2/0 hook flapper rig it was a slow night. Landing a rockling before 20.00hrs was a welcome bonus, a weigh-in. Thereafter just bait robbers.
With the extra walk, I was late (or me) to the scales, Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison were waiting, and no one had weighed-in. Word had already reached them that I had a fish. A rockling which topped the scales at 4 oz, to my surprise winning HFish & HBoFish of the night with the strongest possibility of also winning the ‘Wooden Spoon’ for the Smallest Fish to win HFish on Presentation evening.
So, Man of the Match Peter Horbury, Whitby - 1 rockling, to be the 14th different member to win HFish & 12th different member to win HBoFish.
Officially the worst weigh-in (to date) of the season with 12 matches left.
Top Tip - remember your rig wallet.
Results:- 4 oz (Av 4 oz)

Unsurprisingly there weren’t many anglers out, just me on one pier and another member on the other. Using a two hook 2/0 hook flapper rig it was a slow night. Landing a rockling before 20.00hrs was a welcome bonus, a weigh-in. Thereafter just bait robbers.
With the extra walk, I was late (or me) to the scales, Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison were waiting, and no one had weighed-in. Word had already reached them that I had a fish. A rockling which topped the scales at 4 oz, to my surprise winning HFish & HBoFish of the night with the strongest possibility of also winning the ‘Wooden Spoon’ for the Smallest Fish to win HFish on Presentation evening.
So, Man of the Match Peter Horbury, Whitby - 1 rockling, to be the 14th different member to win HFish & 12th different member to win HBoFish.
Officially the worst weigh-in (to date) of the season with 12 matches left.
Top Tip - remember your rig wallet.

Low water 21.48 hrs, 1.01 metres, 1018 mbar, 9°C, TR 4.6m
A welcome long distance ground swell, 4-7ft, for Sunday evening’s 4hr match. Low water 21.48hrs, 1.01 metres enabled members to reach the tangle beds and gullies. Cloud cover 100%, with no rain forecast, a warm night 9°C. However the wind was a killer [in more than one way] WSWesterly 24, gusting 43mph hampered both casting, and bite detection.
It also took kit, as Dave Perrett found out the hard way. Around 19.30hrs a gust blew his tripod over, rod hit the scaur and broke the bottom section in two. With the help of Jason Ebison the search was on to find a splint [stick], some tape and fashion a repair. However he ended up moving the adjustable winch seat onto the top section, and fished the match with an 8ft rod.
At match start there was some surging which soon eased. Colour varied from thick to very little. The ebb was fast, aided by the following wind, swell strength fell back to 2ft as low water approached. Fish bites were few and far between, and the stamp of fish being caught is/was disappointing for this time of year. Frozen blacks fished better than frozen peeler.
At the scales, [set up in the Fleece yard] Man of the Match, Ryan Collinson, Robinhoods Bay, with the only ‘double figure’ bag 7 codlings, a billet - 13 lb 06 oz, his 7th win. HFish of the night fell to Brian Harland, Whitby, his 2nd win - 4 lb 10 oz.
Eleven matches left, and the ‘Top four rods’ are all in the range of 177 - 170 lb, Ryan has made the biggest gain in the evenings match. It is going to be a close fought Championship.
Total catch 22 codlings, 1 billet, & a rockling. Colin Stainthorpe, Whitby, is the latest to join the 100 lb Club.
A big ebb, members reported what they had witnessed first-hand, the devastation of the tangle beds, green, brown and pink seaweeds, that no longer grow in and around the gullies and open scaurs. Now a barren wasteland, these areas did provide shelter for the eco-system, and marine life now totally wiped out.
Next Sunday 26th is Bell Trophy Day, 11.00- 15.00hrs, meet at Oasis Café 09.30hrs, £10/member entry, sweeps paid out in the Scarborough Rocks social club.
Results:- 41 lb 05 oz (Av 1 lb 12 oz)

High water 17.30 hrs, 6.15 metres, 1016 mbar, 5°C, TR 5.6m
Come match start the growing Northerly surface blash had developed into 5-8 ft swell sets with little to no colour. Not to everyones liking ‘a growing sea’ is not normally seen as very productive. Just 8 members fishing the 3hr match. Very strong Northerly winds 24 gusting 35 mph+ hampered casting & bite detection. 100% cloud cover had a couple of surprises up its sleeve, two very heavy, icy rain showers reminiscent of the ice bucket challenge drenched members and their kit.
Swells were regular, close, around 5 secs. The ebb, forecast at 0.56m at midnight, was expect to drain away very quickly, it didn’t, held in by the wind. Anyone hoping to have taken advantage of the ebb for digging would have been very disappointed.
Fish bites, plenty, but from bait robbers, small pin codlings kept members busy and frustrated. Pleasure anglers, none, Sofa Hole was the right option, members had whole bays and miles of coastline to themselves.
At the scales Bernard Vasey & Peter Horbury oversaw the weigh-in, 8 codlings, 18 lb 00 oz, from 5 members. Man of the Match, with both HBoFish 7 lb 11 oz (3), HFish 3 lb 13½ oz Brian Harland, Whitby. His 6th HBoFish, & 3rd HFish wins.
Tales of woe at the weigh-in:
Weed was a problem, with his line tightly wrapped around his arm, Jason Ebison, Whitby, managed to snap the top foot off his rod as he slowly walked back up the beach to retrieve his end tackle laden with weed from the surf. Not very happy [& wet] as at match start the zip on his coat had broken.
Ever the comic Davey Turnbull, Darlington, had members in stitches as he recounted his nightmares, fruitlessly chasing a bobbin of cotton, grabbing at the cotton ‘hand over fist’ in the rocks, & throwing his kit bag over his shoulders, at match end, only for the contents to fall-out.
Sunday 26th Feb - Bell Trophy day, members to meet at the Oasis Café, 09.30hrs. Match entry £10, weigh-in, refreshments & presentation at Scarborough Rocks Social Club. There is no evening match.

Low water 13.24 hrs Scar, 1.45 metres, 1031 mbar, 6°C, TR 3.7m
09.30hrs, Oasis Café, Marine Drive, 58 anglers gathered by invitation from Scarborough Rocks to compete for the Sana Bell, better known as ‘Bell Trophy Day’. Five local clubs made up teams, [minimum 8] fishing from 11.00 - 15.00hrs with the weigh-in at Scarborough Rocks Social Club.
Sea state, 6-10ft Northerly swell with plenty of colour, appeared to be growing. Although a little heavy, these were the best conditions for many a year. A mix of weather conditions from bright warming sunshine to an icy cold shower. Wind 12mph which became gusty during a squall or two, after 13.20hrs.
Within minutes [seconds for some] of the match start, weed dragged many a line down, re-bait and move. Fish bites, “not one” reported many. Surging was a problem right from the start, after a rush, the mark looked perfect and then too heavy, and repeat, but after low-water swells, & surging settled.
Davey Turnbull, Darlington reported losing a really good fish. Played it around two rocks when it got its head down, slack line and wait but on the third attempt, his hook snood snapped.
Man of the Month, Ryan Collinson - 33 lb 00 oz - 18 fish.

Collinson & Harland midweek honours
Brian Harland
Low water 17.44 hrs, 2.54 metres, 1030 mbar, 5°C, TR 1.61m
High pressure weather system still dominating. NNEasterly sea state 5-8ft, a neap tide, only 1.6 metres height difference between High & Low water. No colour in the water, catch forecast was low, only 10 fishing the 3hr match. NNEasterly wind, 100% cloud cover, having just got the kit bag dry from Sunday, the constant heavy drizzle was as annoying as it was unpleasant. Noted - the parking meters have come out of hibernation, covers removed.
The flood was steady as were the regular swell sets, the only thing missing were the fish. Four members were kept amused by the antics of a mink, running up & down on a local beach. Weed not too much that marks were not fishable, just a caution to keep rods high & lines out of the surf.
Members reported pin codlings were a nuisance, false bites, and took up too much time, re-baiting, eventually forcing a move. The last 8 matches are going to be hard, fish spawning in deeper waters and the long range weather forecasts the return of winter and snow is possible.
At the scales, sheltering from the weather in the Fleece yard, Bernard Vasey was all set up. Man of the Match, his eighth, Ryan Collinson, Robinhoods Bay, 2 lb 05 oz (2), his best 1 lb 06 oz not enough for HFish. This fell to Brian Harland, Whitby, 2 lb 00½ oz, and his fourth. Both these weights have set the bar for the Monthly Sweeps. After the weigh-in members had refreshments and shared two very large pork pies, and condiments courtesy of the Fleece, many thanks.

The flood was steady as were the regular swell sets, the only thing missing were the fish. Four members were kept amused by the antics of a mink, running up & down on a local beach. Weed not too much that marks were not fishable, just a caution to keep rods high & lines out of the surf.
Members reported pin codlings were a nuisance, false bites, and took up too much time, re-baiting, eventually forcing a move. The last 8 matches are going to be hard, fish spawning in deeper waters and the long range weather forecasts the return of winter and snow is possible.
At the scales, sheltering from the weather in the Fleece yard, Bernard Vasey was all set up. Man of the Match, his eighth, Ryan Collinson, Robinhoods Bay, 2 lb 05 oz (2), his best 1 lb 06 oz not enough for HFish. This fell to Brian Harland, Whitby, 2 lb 00½ oz, and his fourth. Both these weights have set the bar for the Monthly Sweeps. After the weigh-in members had refreshments and shared two very large pork pies, and condiments courtesy of the Fleece, many thanks.

Fashionista Turnbullator wins
Davey Turnbull
Low water 21.36 hrs, 1.59 metres, 1013 mbar, 3°C, TR 3.58m
1st Sunday of March, the first match of the new year to start in daylight, the ‘Worm moon’ [full on 7th] already high in the sky shone brightly. NNEasterly sea state, 8-12ft [too big], no colour, an all ebb 4hr match down to low water for the eleven fishing. NNEasterly breeze 6mph, within an hour it was obscured by 100% cloud cover. Heavy drizzle fell for an hour or so around 20.00hrs, not an evening for forgetting one’s coat!
Right from match start, heavy surging, the worst I have ever experienced, an eye had to be kept out for any rogue swell sets and there were some. Bladder rack in the surf occasionally got hung up on main line, apart from that it was weed free despite the size of the sea. Undersized codlings would bite, hang themselves and not have the energy to bite again, only to become ‘Larry lay-ons’ when gear retrieved for a fresh bait.
By match end, marks had drained away far in excess of the tide books’ 1.69 metres, more like 0.5 metres. At the scales Bernard Vasey was in attendance. Brian Harland, Whitby, first up, 5 codlings - 6 lb 03 oz. Immediately beaten by Davey Turnbull, Darlington 3 codlings 7 lb 04 oz, his best 2 lb 15½ oz for his 6th Man of the Match and 9th HFish win of the night. The deficit between Davey & Brian just 10 lb, with seven matches left for top spot on the Leader Board.
Davey now leads in the Monthly Sweeps.
Davey, still reeling from losing his big fish at the Bell Trophy, had forgotten his coat, but was keen to demonstrate his ‘fashion-tips’ to everyone. Whereupon he donned a supermarket shopping bag with head and arm holes cut out, [everyone was in stitches of laughter - comic genius] continuing, as he pointed out it was long enough to overlap his waders [one sandwich short of a picnic, if you ask me ☺☺☺].
Total weigh-in 13 codlings, a billet, and a rockling.
Results:- 23 lb 03 oz (Av 1 lb 09 oz)

Turnbullator under pressure
Low water 23.07 hrs, 1.13 metres, 996 mbar, 0°C, TR 4.4m
A train of low pressure systems running east west from southern Ireland to Europe, has the weathermen in a twirl, as the cold high pressure meets the warm wet low pressure train. Snow here, snow there, Yellow and Amber weather warnings but as yet only a dusting here on the NEast coastline [but there’re usually right].
Long distance Northerly ground swell sea state 6-9ft, again, like Sunday, with little to no colour. Where to go? Too heavy here, and there, the sea states, time of year, and tides not gelling with match times. Agreed it was to be another hard match. An Easterly wind [possibly the first] forecast at 8mph was much stronger, and had a definite wind chill factor. Full cloud cover so, again, no chance of seeing the Worm moon.
Weed, yes, Brian Harland, Whitby recounted how clearing an ‘over-run’, the slack line fell into the surf - game over. And another, of flicking bladder rack off his line lead to a full blown bite - fish on, [more jam than Hartleys]. Two fish in two casts.
Like Sunday surging was a problem, then calm, then regular swell sets, a tad discombobulated. The ebb was very slow in the first 2hrs, and then it took off in the last hour of the 3hr match.
You just know it’s not your night - a gust of wind, while trying to fit my reel, rod fell onto the tarmac - end eye snapped off. 21.00hrs good fish on, thumping away, lean into it, line bar tight, no movement. Give line, feel it pull again, again line fast. 20 mins of repeating process it was time to go, had to for the slow pull, but snapped off - not my night.
Bernard Vasey was at the scales, from the 12 seniors, and 1 junior fishing, just 5 had a meagre weigh-in - 8 codlings, 1 rockling for 13 lb. Man of the Match [by just ½ oz over Ryan Collinson] Brian Harland, his 7th HBoFish win 4 lb 02½ oz (2) inc. HFish 2 lb 02 oz his 5th win.
Ryan Collinson, Robinhoods Bay 4 lb 02 oz (3), Ryan has closed the gap to 2nd place Davey Turnbull, Darlington, to 1 lb 15 oz. At the same time Brian has also increased his lead to 12 lb 13 oz over Davey. So, the Turnbullator, is under pressure, and admits he must do better ‘on Sunday’. As a consolation, no-one is anywhere near his Av/fish weight 2 lb 13 oz.

Turnbullator cuts deficit
Davey Turnbull
High water 18.54 hrs, 5.44 metres, 996 mbar, 9°C, TR 2.8m
All change, a very windy, but warm Sunday, SSWesterly 15 gusting 30mph. Over the last week plenty of snow had fallen up on the moors, but very little on the coastline. Low pressure in charge 992mb, Northerly sea sate 5-7ft for the evenings 4hr match, with 12 confirmed as fishing.
Fishing the last hour of flood in daylight, and 3hrs of ebb in darkness. Full cloud cover and the forecasted rain started at 21.00hrs. As Wednesday, there was surging, followed by calm and then regular swell sets, again discombobulated. No reports of weed being a problem, just those pesky bait robbers. Cliff marks were the marks of choice with one or two venturing to sea level where reports of oversized boolers [doubled-up waves] ripping end tackle free until after HWater.
Bernard Vasey having set the scales up in the Fleece yard sheltering from the wind and rain did not have long to wait. First in Steve Ingleston, Whitby, 5 codlings 13 lb 11 oz, his best 4 lb 10 oz - was not enough for HFish of the night.
Next to the scales, title contender Davey Turnbull, Darlington, who was grinning from ear to ear like a Cheshire cat [for good reason as happens]. Davey dug deep in his fish bag for his best fish first, placing it in the pan, 6 lb 06 oz, a proper fat bellied codling for HFish of the night. Followed by 2 more codlings, for the second ‘double-figure’ bag of the night - 12 lb 10 oz. Davey’s Av/Fish this season, a remarkable 2 lb 14 oz. This puts Davey within 3 oz of title leader Brian Harland who had texted-in earlier #Home.
Both Brian & Davey have a 4 lb 06 oz match average weigh-in.
The last 5 matches will be nail biting for the duo not discounting Ryan Collinson, RHBay, who has had an amazing first season only 14 lb 09 oz adrift from them - but alas also #Blanked missing an opportunity to close the gap.
Steve & Davey’s bags make 41 ‘double-figure’ bags to date.
Better late than never but I landed a 2 lb 01 oz codling last cast, which amazingly had 6 hooks [3 pennel rigs] in it. Two sets were mine, having snapped off earlier.
Results:- 43 lb 12 oz (Av 2 lb 12 oz) - 15 codlings, 1 rockling

200 lb Club Turnbullator
Davey Turnbull
High water 21.36 hrs, 4.68 metres, 1011 mbar, 3°C, TR 2.4m
The long distance Northerly ground swell sea state was still with us, for the mid-week evenings 3hr match, 6-9 ft with plenty of colour. Right on cue, as forecasted, 18.00hrs the precipitation began to fall steadily. Heavier than drizzle but not full blown rain, just large drops. Uncomfortably cold SSEasterly winds, 12 gusting 30mph, 3°C plus the rain, wind chill, baiting up was painful. It appeared the worst of storm was thankfully out at sea.
Neap tide fishing the last 2½hrs of flood to top of the tide, the swells 12 secs apart were constant but there was sporadic surging, and ‘doubled-up’ wave sets to keep an eye on. Fish bites non-existent on the east pier, not even bait robbers nor rocklings. A common theme reported back by some of the 9 fishing. 3X dementors east pier.
RNLI practice night, watched in amazement as the lifeboat practiced a 360° turn between the extensions in the swell.
Members were slow to the scales, keeping Bernard Vasey waiting right up to time. First to the scales Davey Turnbull, Darlington, 6 lb 01 oz - 2 codlings, his best 3 lb 01 oz, something not seen for ages a proper ‘red-kelpy’. Last up Dave Perrett, Whitby 3 codlings 5 lb 00 oz [back to normal, having eventually been able to replace his stolen car]. Both Davey & Dave, reported getting their first fish shortly after 19.00hrs, then had to wait until after 21.00hrs for the next.
Well done Davey, first to join the exclusive 200 lb Club. Also Man of the Match with both HBoFish and HFish making 7 & 11 wins respectively in both. Davey now leads the Championship leaving Brian Harland a 5 lb 14 oz deficit with only 4 matches left.

The long distance Northerly ground swell sea state was still with us, for the mid-week evenings 3hr match, 6-9 ft with plenty of colour. Right on cue, as forecasted, 18.00hrs the precipitation began to fall steadily. Heavier than drizzle but not full blown rain, just large drops. Uncomfortably cold SSEasterly winds, 12 gusting 30mph, 3°C plus the rain, wind chill, baiting up was painful. It appeared the worst of storm was thankfully out at sea.
Neap tide fishing the last 2½hrs of flood to top of the tide, the swells 12 secs apart were constant but there was sporadic surging, and ‘doubled-up’ wave sets to keep an eye on. Fish bites non-existent on the east pier, not even bait robbers nor rocklings. A common theme reported back by some of the 9 fishing. 3X dementors east pier.

Low water 20.45 hrs, 1.24 metres, 1015 mbar, 5°C, TR 4.0m
Northerly sea state 4-6ft long distance ground swell with little to no colour. SSEasterly breeze 7-9mph, 100% cloud cover, 0.1mm of rain was forecasted for 21.00hrs. Just 10 members fishing the 4hr evening match down to low water, with an hour of flood, enabling anglers the chance to get to their favourite LWater marks.
Fishing the last hour of daylight the ebb fell away steadily with little to no effect on the regular swell sets. The only thing missing were the fish bites, couple of casts and move as the ground opened up.
Once darkness fell and ‘fish’ dropped off the scaurs, and into the gullies there was a bit or two. In the rock pools - no sign of life, not a green crab to be found. With a very lean 3 lb’er in the bag by 19.30 hrs, having taken a pennel rig of whole dirty squid and frozen blacks, I was hopeful of a few more. Best bite 21.40hrs on the flood, lead bouncing in, slack line, repeat, and nothing. On retrieval the pennel rig was upside down, and then the rain started to fall!
No Bernard Vasey at the scales, flat car battery, Jason Ebison was deputising. First back Brian Harland, Whitby, 5 codlings, a blegg, and a rockling 15 lb 00 oz for both Man of the Match [his 8th] and HFish of the night 3 lb 06 oz [his 6th]. Last to the scales Dave Hambley, Staithes, 4 codlings 7 lb 14 oz for 2nd place, he has closed the gap to Ryan Collinson, RHB, to just 13 oz.
Scales were left swinging in the drizzle until 22.30hrs [tumble weed rolling across the near empty car park - spaghetti Western music playing in the background] awaiting Davey Turnbull, Darlington, to pull up & strut [Minister of Silly Walks] to the scales with fish, as he duels with Brain Harland for the Championship.
Alas it wasn’t to be and Brian’s ‘double-figure’ bag will no doubt be a real body blow to Davey, having blanked. Davey now has his work cut out to cover the 9 lb 02 oz deficit, ‘and more’, to catch up in the 3 remaining matches.

The penultimate Wednesday 3hr evening match of the season started at last light, SSWesterly winds and long distance Northerly swell 3-4ft, plenty of colour. Nine members fishing an all ebb match on the biggest tide of the month, 5.5 metre tidal range [diff between HW & LW]. Catch forecast was low, time of year & the tide was expected to fly out with the following wind.
Scaurs soon opened up, exposing members to the increasing SSWesterly winds gusting 30+mph. Kit and tripods had to be carefully placed or blown over. A dark night with 75% cloud cover, it tried to rain at 21.00hrs but did not last long [phew as 0.3mm was forecasted]. Swells rolling up the scaurs were regular with their tops whipped off with the wind, if nothing else it was picturesque.
Constantly on the move, have a cast then move 50yds down the scaurs. Alternating rigs, pennel with peeler, frozen blacks, & fresh mussel, a two hook flapper with mackerel looking for an LSD or two, landed a codling [so the mackerel baits do work]. Other smaller bites but nothing developed as the wind masked bites. A painful night, the bail arm clicked back over on casting. And repeatedly struck the end of the casting finger as the anti-reverse failed, square on the tip under the nail, #Ouch.
At the scales Bernard Vasey, sheltering from the winds, had very little to do, just 4 of the 9 members had a very meagre weigh-in - 5 codlings for 10 lb 03 oz. The midweek honours were shared, Man of the Match Brian Harland, Whitby, 4 lb 01 oz (2), and HFish fell to Ryan Collinson, RHB, 3 lb 02 oz.
Brian now has 9x HBoFish wins, and Ryan 4x HFish wins.
Just two matches left, tight lines for Sunday.

Low water 20.06 hrs, 5.43 metres, 1019 mbar, 3°C, TR 3.9m
The last Sunday match of the 2022 - 2023 Season, 6-10ft long distance Northerly ground swell, thick with colour. Fishing 2hrs up and 2hrs down from HWater. However with the clocks changing for British Summer Time [BST] it was daylight until 20.00hrs. Match start 18.00hrs a short, sharp shower of hail with more forecasted for after 23.00hrs, 50% cloud cover, Northerly winds 17 - 25mph, 3°C made for a very cold night, with wind chill on wet fingers whilst baiting up.
Regular swells, no surging, nor weed problems reported, again just a lack of fish bites. The strengthening wind was the main problem, hampering casting, fish bites and personal comfort - it was bitter.
Denis Thompson, Lythe, admitted to a ‘senior’ moment returning a 26.8cm flounder, not realising it was ‘size’ [25cm & not 27cm]. Later in the match he reported landing a 3 lb bass, also returned, not realising the daily 2 bass catch limit was back. ‘Strike 3’ his rod was pulled from its rock hold by a good fish but didn’t return.
Of the 13 fishing just 5 returned with their meagre catch for Bernard Vasey to record, 6 codlings, 3 rocklings, & a billet. Man of the Match with both HBoFish 7 lb 13 oz (5) & HFish 2 lb 13 oz Dave Hambley, Staithes, reported catching the bigger fish in daylight. Dave has 10x HBoFish & 11x HFish wins, passes Ryan Collinson to regain 3rd Place on the Leader Board.
Well done to Brian Harland, Whitby, [who dipped out on HFish of the night by ½ oz] is the winner of the ‘Sunday League’ having caught 76 fish for 128 lb 08 oz over a possible 24 Sundays throughout the season. 2nd Dave Hambley 57 fish 116 lb 10 oz, and 3rd Davey Turnbull, 34 fish 105 lb 14 oz, the only members to make the 100 lb Sunday Club. The Sunday League was set up to encourage those members that struggled to fish a Wednesday due to work commitments is currently sponsor less.

The last match of the season, last chance for an all-out effort to make or keep a place on the Leader Board. However conditions were unfavourable to say the least, flat calm sea state with little to no colour, on a neap tide. SSWesterly winds 15 gusting 26mph with 1.5mm of rain forecast, an all flood match, and BST to contend with.
Come match start 19.00hrs the skies started to darken as the forecasted weather front, and rain clouds closed in. Once overhead and heading out to sea the wind shifted to Easterly, the cold front was rolling underneath the clouds back to the shoreline. Once out to sea the wind shifted back to SSWesterly again and slowly fell away to nothing. Fish bites, none, crab/lobster activity, none, totally devoid of sea life, and activity for 3hrs.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was in good form as always. Ryan Collinson, RHB, 5 lb 00½ oz (5) Man of the Match, inc HFish 1 lb 12 oz. All eyes were then on Dave Hambley, Staithes, 1 lb 04 oz (2) - had he done enough to retain 3rd Place from Ryan? Bernard & I did the math, and sadly Ryan Collinson, had been pipped by just ‘one ounce’ from joint 3rd Place with Dave Hambley.
Ryan, nee ‘one ounce’ will rue Sun 30th Oct ’22, Match 10 when he weighed-in 2 lb 01 oz (1) but wasn’t entered into the match, and later disqualified for non-match entry. On the positive, echoed by members, for Ryan’s first season he has done remarkably and will do very well in the future.
For the third time, Brian Harland, Whitby, was crowned 2022 - 2023 Champion. In 2nd Place Davey Turnbull, Darlington. In 3rd Place Dave Hambley, Staithes.
