A personal view:
This season has been marred by a number of unnecessary incidents, namely two of which were at Boulby, and involved helicopter extractions. [Read the screenshots below]
To this day I don’t know, nor care to know who they were, only to say I trust they made sizeable donations to the charities.
Boulby is 'NOT' the Mecca for all anglers to visit, as those rescued found out to their cost & embarrassment.
Those WSAA members [& ex] who do fish there know it extremely well, and are tooled-up correctly, harnesses, descenders & rope.
Tackle is minimal, no rod bags [rods secured in back pack, no tripods, leaving both hands free.
WSAA members have been members of the RNLI, and one member’s partner is still with the Coast Guard, and yes she was called out to provide back-up.
You put these people at risk by being irresponsible!

There is a rise, of which angers me further.

The carrot of which, to them, is to earn money from ‘Views’.
[See screenshot - →] And at what cost to the viewer/reader, who thinks "I’m up there buying a car. I’ll have a few hours fishing there'? No details on access, egress, where & how to park responsibly. Remember, at night it's easy to become disorientated, loose ones way & bearings. |

↑ - Example of what you are not told.
Cowbar, once you get to Bank Top car park, it is the end of the road, and beyond is Permit Holders Only.
Despite my best efforts with Redcar & Cleveland Council there is no dispensation for anglers in this car park.
Cars parked on the roadside, [note mounds of soil to stop this], vehicles are deemed ‘an obstruction of the highway’ - towable, and ticket-able!
Let us say you/I want to fish from 6pm - 9pm, you arrive at the car park at 17.00hrs, enough time to walk down the hill.
Try to pay for 3hrs or all day BUT as soon as you start to put money in, the machine automatically will only accept £15.00 for an overnight stay.
You cannot cheat the machine!
Parking at the bottom is strictly prohibited, Yorkshire water land and parking for Staithes Lifeboat station - but you are not told this by the YouTuber!

The next bug bear, the 'Paid Fishing Guide/Tour' - you sign up & pay a local angler, weather & conditions permitted, who will take you to named marks to fish.
Take a trip on a Chartered Skipper Assoc. Boat & one of the first signs you read on the wheelhouse door is GPS waypoint recorders prohibited.
Metal detectorists ‘do not share’ their successful finds and locations, do they?

Metal detectorists ‘do not share’ their successful finds and locations, do they?
Anglers [& locals] have toiled over the years to ‘learn’ how to fish particular marks.
And the spoilers, social net workers, ‘those in the know’, who are happy to verbally share where a particular angler is being successful.
It used to be [and I reported it as a light-procession] Boiler Hole where numerous anglers followed in line, like elephants holding the tail of the one in front as the matriarch leads the way to the holy mark.
Why? Fishing a mark with ten other rods is never going to be productive.
As WSAA Secretary from 2010 I never report where X or Y has been fishing [predecessors did], I may know, but for good reasons I don’t report.
1) - Numerous marks have cut off points, some more than one.
2) - The next time X or Y returned to 'the mark' it would be overrun with anglers [as demonstrated by one ‘You Tuber’ himself]!!
3) - X or Y wouldn’t tell me next time, feeling betrayed!!
4) - Recent cliff falls are quickly fed to members.
Prior to this season, at the AGM, we decided to delay the publication of reports until after the Whitby Gazette is/was published.
This was a step to stop the ‘fish chasers’ and ‘dementors’ - those who deliberately fish marks on a Wednesday & Sunday to disrupt members who frequent these marks.
Please fish responsibly, and safely, join a local Club if in doubt [members of a Club benefit from insurance].

Storm Agnes
Col Stainthorpe
Low water 21.36 hrs, 1.8m, 1002 mbar, °C, TR 3.8m
First match of the new 51 match season and already the weather was against members of Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. the first named storm - Storm Agnes forecast to wreak havoc across the country with 48mph SSEasterly winds and heavy rainfall.
Only eight anglers fished the 3hr match, fishing down to low water 21.36hrs, 1.7m ebb, tangle beds were well within reach. Plenty of colour in the water and up to 2ft of localised SSEasterly swell, however bladder rack and fine green grass weed fouled lines.
21.00hrs and the near full Harvest moon made a very bright but brief appearance (before heavy cloud and rain moved in), thereafter the winds started to increase. Casting had to be timed with any brief lulls in wind speed. Two members threw the towel in mid match due to the increasing wind speeds, and headed for an early bath.
At the scales, Bernard and Jason oversaw the weigh-in of 19 codlings for 28 lb 10 oz from 6 of the 8 who fished. Man of the Match Col Stainthorpe 9 lb 05 oz (6) his best 2 lb 06 oz. HFish of the night fell to Secretary Peter Horbury 3 lb 02 oz.

Pollock for Thompson
Denis Thompson
High water 18.12 hrs, 5.96 m, 1017 mbar, 13°C, TR 5.4m
First Sunday match of the season, and again the weather conditions were unfavourable for the 8 fishing. Flat calm sea-state, little to no colour, WSWesterly winds 10mph. Fishing from 18.00 - 22.00hrs, HWater 18.20hrs, 6.0m, an all ebb match, it was a good ½hr before the turning tide took hold giving an ever increasing pull on end tackle.
Fresh green peeler was king bait, within minutes of a baits hitting the water fish were taking the bait, leaving little time to re-bait a second rig before pulling in. Two hook flapper rigs 3/0 hooks, fish were caught two at a time, however not all were size. Aided by the strong tidal pull, fish bites/hooked fish pulled end tackle into snags.
Cloud cover was sparse for the first two hours, a near full orange Harvest moon rose above the horizon once darkness fell. However before darkness fell, up to 20 guillemots were diving and feeding on the plentiful feed. Around mid-match the wind speed increased and there was definite drop in temperature.
At the scales two ‘double-figure bags’ & Man of the Match Brian Harland, Whitby, did extremely well in such poor conditions, 6 codlings, 9 billets 19 lb 11 oz, best codling 2 lb 05½ oz, and best billet 2 lb 00½ oz. Col Stainthorpe also did well 7 codlings, 4 billets 13 lb 01 oz. HFish fell to Denis Thompson, Lythe, with a pollock 4 lb 03½ oz
Total catch 21 billets, 15 codlings, 3 r’lings, & a pollock
Results:- 50 lb 01 oz (Av 1 lb 04 oz)

Harland continues to find ‘em
High water 20.09 hrs, 5.3m, 1018 mbar, 13°C, TR 3.6m
The poor fishing conditions continue, not a ripple, flat calm sea state with no colour. Understandably numbers fishing were down, Sofa Hole proving popular to save precious bait. Off shore WSWesterly winds 20-40mph, full cloud cover and 0.1mm of rain forecast for the 3hr evening match. Fishing the last hour of flood, and 2hrs of ebb. Surprisingly there were plenty of pleasure anglers ‘out & about’.
The wind gradually increased but thankfully did not match the forecast. The rain came, but after the weigh-in, and continued well into the night. Fresh bait again made the difference, although it was muscle & lug worm and not green crab that made the difference.
RNLI practice night, life boats were in & out of the harbour all match. Sadly some anglers just don’t follow notices not to fish across the harbour entrance. Causing the life boats to virtually stop while they retrieved their end tackle from the water.
Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison oversaw the weigh-in for the 6 of 7 successful members. Man of the Match Brian Harland, Whitby HBoFish 9 lb 12 oz 3 codlings, 4 billets. HFish fell to WSAA Treasurer Dave Perrett, Whitby, a codling 2 lb 07½ oz.
Always nice to meet up with old friends, some anglers I have known for a number of seasons recounted a tale from last Monday. Torrential rain as they fished on Whitby West pier. Catching whiting with mackerel bait, told of a surprise catch, a whiting on the top hook, and a tomato plant, including 5 tomatoes on the bottom hook.
Results:- 30 lb 11 oz (Av 1 lb 04 oz)
The poor fishing conditions continue, not a ripple, flat calm sea state with no colour. Understandably numbers fishing were down, Sofa Hole proving popular to save precious bait.

Low water 18.42 hrs, 3.1m, 1018 mbar, 17°C, TR 1.2m
High pressure and the first welcome long distance ground swell 2-3ft Northerly, however the tide was against the 13 members fishing. A neap tide, 3.1m LWater, only 1.2m between low & high water, tangle beds were out of reach.
Colour varied up & down the coastline, from chocolate to crystal clear. The wind was brisk, SSWesterly swinging Westerly with gusts of 30mph, a cross wind to hamper casting. Full cloud cover made for a dark night.
Match started in daylight, [BST ends 29th Oct] swell sets were regular, with little to no surging, and remained constant throughout the 4hr match. Weed on the surf-line could be watched in daylight, rods held aloft to keep lines clear. Fine grass weed fowled end tackle, and leader knots. It can be quicker to ‘cut and retie’ knots than pluck these fine weeds from line [resembling a pipe cleaner].
Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison were kept busy at the scales, ‘double-figure’ bag after ‘double-figure’ bag weighed-in, six in total. 54 codlings, 6 r’lings, 2 eels [returned alive], and a bass for 116 lb 01 oz which was more than the total weigh-in from the first 3 matches!

Low water 21.25 hrs, 2.3m, 1013 mbar, 8°C, TR 2.8m
Brisk WNWesterly winds brought some NWesterly close set surface swell 2-3ft, but no colour. Nine fishing 2½hrs to low water, and possibly the start of the flood [location dependent], catch forecast was low. The wind steadily increased throughout the match, a cold night with gusts of 30mph, until low water when it dropped right off.
The wind strength was a problem for one or two, forcing a move, as marks became unfishable, losing valuable fishing time on an already short match. Reaching marks, reported some, was hampered by the poor ebb, as scaurs remained flooded.
Hopeful of a good nights fishing with two billets in the bag by 19.30hrs, there was nothing to do but star gaze as the rod remained motionless for the rest of the match!
At the scales Bernard Vasey was relaxed, no rush as members slowly returned to weigh-in. 23 lb 05 oz from 21 assorted fish - 12 codlings, 6 rocklings, 2 billets and a whiting.
Man of the Match Brian Harland, Whitby, his 3rd win, 5 codlings 6 lb 15 oz

High water 17.22 hrs, 5.63m, 1025 mbar, 5°C, TR 4m
High pressure dominating, WNWesterly shifting to a more direct Westerly wind 8-12mph throughout the day, bright sunshine but cooler than of late 5°C. Long distance ground swell NWesterly 8-12ft - too heavy for a lot of marks, unsurprisingly plenty of colour. Twelve members fishing the 4hr evening match, including new member Joseph Harrison, Filey.
Match started a ½hr after HWater, 5.6m, Sandsend was just white water, so finding a fishable mark had to be chosen carefully, and hopefully there would be minimal weed.
A dark cloudless night, the swells were regular with no surging, and weed/kelp & bladder rack was minimal (at the time) mainly fine green grass to foul leader knots and swivels. Fishing was steady away, a mop every other chuck reported by some. Once the tide ebbed enough, and the scaurs opened up, a steady procession of lights made their way out nearer the tangle beds & gulleys.
At the scales Bernard Vasey recorded 40 codlings, 79 lb 09 oz. Man of the Match Davey Turnbull, Darlington with both HBoFish 17 lb 01 oz (5), and HFish 6 lb 00 oz (the best fish to date for the Monthly Sweeps).
Dave Perrett, Whitby also recorded a 4 lb 11 oz codling for the ‘James Jamsy dedicated Official Trophy’ beating his 4 lb 05½ oz codling from last Sunday.
New member Joseph Harrison, Filey showed his mettle on his first match 6 codlings 11 lb 01 oz for joint 4th place on the night.
Results:- 79 lb 09 oz (Av 2 lb 00 oz)

High water 18.57 hrs, 5.5m, 990 mbar, 11°C, TR 3.9m
Weather warnings, low pressure Storm Babet, ESEasterly winds 30 mph, gusting 50mph battering the NEast coastline. ESEasterly sea state 6ft, match started on HWater, 3hrs of ebb for the 14 members fishing the Singles Knockouts.
The outer reefs took some of the sting out of the swells, however there was some surging. Finding a sheltered mark or a mark where the wind was not as strong and fishable was a challenge. Some marks were totally ignored due to the large quantities of weed seen on the shoreline in daylight.
The torrential rain held off until an hour after the weigh-in, continuing well into the small hours. At the scales Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison oversaw the weigh-in - 21 codlings, 3 billets and 3 rocklings - 41 lb 06 oz.

Perrett tops the leader board
Dave Hambley [library photo]
Low water 16.15 hrs, 2.7m, 1008 mbar, 7°C, TR 2.1m
Storm Babet had passed [thankfully & did it rain!], the sea state was slowly abating, 4-6ft NEasterly. Colour varied greatly from mark to mark. Gentle WSWesterly winds 5-13mph, cloud cover was minimal. Thirteen fishing the 4hr evening match which started in daylight. Numerous pleasure anglers were ‘out & about’ taking advantage of the dying sea state of late with little to no success.
An all flood match fishing to within ½hr of the top of tide, however there was some surging, which spoilt the otherwise regular swell sets in the first half of the match. As the depth of water increased, swells became erratic, not strong enough to keep pace with the flooding tide, coupled with the surges as the tide met the outer reefs, leading to periods of calm.
At the scales Bernard Vasey recorded 3 ‘double-figure’ bags from Man of the Match Dave Hambley, Staithes, Dave Perrett, Whitby & Neil Eglon, Whitby. Neil had the HFish of the night 5 lb 15 oz.
Total catch - 40 codlings, 6 r’lings, 2 billets & a blegg.

An all flood match fishing to within ½hr of the top of tide, however there was some surging, which spoilt the otherwise regular swell sets in the first half of the match. As the depth of water increased, swells became erratic, not strong enough to keep pace with the flooding tide, coupled with the surges as the tide met the outer reefs, leading to periods of calm.
At the scales Bernard Vasey recorded 3 ‘double-figure’ bags from Man of the Match Dave Hambley, Staithes, Dave Perrett, Whitby & Neil Eglon, Whitby. Neil had the HFish of the night 5 lb 15 oz.
Total catch - 40 codlings, 6 r’lings, 2 billets & a blegg.

15.00hrs Sandsend
Perrett takes honours
Dave Perrett
Low water 22.16 hrs, 1.2m, 997 mbar, 9°C, TR 4.7m
BST came to an end at 2am, Sunday night’s 4hr match started in darkness, and drizzle for the eleven members. Heavy cloud cover shielded the Hunter’s full moon from view. Low pressure continues to dominate, the rain of late has been biblical. Wind WNWesterly 20mph, a cross wind, hampering casting, and bite detection. Sea state was a wild discombobulated NEasterly 6-10ft, and a secondary SEasterly swell. The conditions were definitely not favourable, and consequently the catch forecast was low.
Baiting-up prior to match start (2hrs after HW) it was evident that the surging had to be kept an eye on at all times. White water on the horizon, as waves broke over the outer reefs. The sea state was heavy but hopes were that once the ebb took hold it would become more fishable. However the surging did not let up, and the tow-back as surges drained away caused end tackle to foul not only the sea bed but also gathered loose weed dragged down lines.
Caution - As marks emptied, one thought the scaurs were now accessible but then the sea would return and re-flood vast areas. Patience and experience was required - safety first.
At the scales Bernard Vasey [not fished] had set up in the Fleece yard, seeking shelter from the wind. As mentioned the catch forecast was low and this was confirmed in the weigh-in. 21 codlings, 4 rocklings - 36 lb 01 oz. Man of the Match Treasurer Dave Perrett, Whitby, had both HBoFish 8 lb 00 oz (3) and HFish 5 lb 02½ oz.

High water 18.00 hrs, 5.6m, 981 mbar, 7°C, TR 4m
Storm Ciarán was approaching the English Chanel, SEasterly winds were building in speed on the NEast coastline 20mph. During the day the NEasterly swell had died off leaving residual SEasterly 1-2ft at best but that soon dissipated once the ebb took hold. Water was still thick with colour. Of note, parking meters have had their winter jackets fitted #FreeParking
Cliffs and piers were marks of choice for the 3hr all ebb match, which started an hour after HWater. Swell sets were intermittent, 19.40hrs the last of the cloud cover past to reveal a very bright ¾ moon. Fishing was extremely slow and the bright moon did not help [plenty of star gazing].

Conger eel - WSAA First for Middlemas
Danny Middlemas
High water 21.21 hrs, 4.6m, 985 mbar, 5°C, TR 1.6m
Bonfire night, SWesterly wind 20mph, minimal cloud cover, and a red alert for the aurora borealis. A growing, all flood, NEasterly sea state, 3-4ft, thick with colour. Fifteen members fishing the 4hr match, up & over high tide 21.21hrs.
Members were spread far & wide within the Club boundaries, which, for most involved a long hike to take advantage of the conditions & time available. The strength of the swell sets could not keep up with the flood, leading to periods of calm, which was when the fish were taking the bait. Lifting/playing fish through & over the rocky foreshore was thwart with danger, if timed wrong with the swells.
At the scales Bernard Vasey overseeing 6 ‘double-figure’ bags including a first for WSAA records - a 3 lb 05 oz conger eel from Danny Middlemas, Whitby. Once weighed & photographed, it was returned alive into the harbour. Just one fish from his 9 fish bag 26 lb 09 oz haul. Recounting he got a shock when he landed it, as he was of the opinion they had a nasty bite.
HFish of the night fell to Davey Turnbull, Darlington 4 lb 15½ oz. On Friday night Davey weighed a fish of 8 lb 02 oz at Secretary Peter Horbury’s house for Heaviest Fish Out of Competition for the David ‘Sten’ Memorial Sandsend Trophy.

Hambley’s ‘double-win’
Dave Hambley
Low water 19.00 hrs, 2.7m, 998 mbar, 5°C, TR 2.0m
Finally stopped raining, a cold SSWesterly wind 30mph, 3ft NEasterly swell with plenty of colour. Match started at low water 2.7m 19.00hrs, tides slowly getting bigger. The swell sets were erratic, weak and unable to match the speed of the flood which was pushing in quickly. Full cloud cover, no moon light, from that point of view, ideal. The catch forecast was still low.
Once fishing the fish were biting but deemed to be small undersized bait robbers or rocklings, and regular casting was req’d to present a good bait. Stock fish [red fish that reside in the tangle beds] are now few & far, so the majority of the catch was fresh run green codlings.
Bernard Vasey, unable to fish, showed his dedication to be at the scales, aided by Jason Ebison. Eleven had fished the 3hr match, 9 returned with a weigh-in, and it was the all-important giant slaying Singles Knockouts semi-final. The shock of the night from Man of the Match Dave Hambley, Staithes, [& his Mary Poppins fish bag] 25 lb 03½ oz (9). With two good fish in his bag, both had to be weighed separately, biggest fish first, as Bernard reminded him.
Dave’s second match win and his third HFish win 4 lb 14½ oz also had another of 4 lb 09 oz. Dave is just 17 lb adrift of second place Dave Perrett, and now leads in the Monthly Sweeps HBoFish [as Danny Middlemas has not entered]

14.00hrs Sandsend
Hambley on form
Dave Hambley
Low water 21.27 hrs, 1.7m, 1003 mbar, 6°C, TR 3.8m
Weather was turning very inclement, SSEasterly winds gusting 30mph, 0.7mm of rain forecast during the 4hr evening match. Sea state 4½ft NEasterly thick with of colour. Unfortunately after the tide had turned 15.00hrs the swell started to ease as the opposing wind speed increased.
Caution - the footpaths and trails down to the rocky foreshore were still slick with the recent rainfall. Waiting for match start 18.00hrs, looking out to sea, the weather front could not be missed, very dark angry skies, it was only a matter of time before the rain fell. The ebb would open up gulleys and tangle beds, but once out on the open scaurs there would be no shelter from the elements. As the weather front got nearer the wind speed increased, hampering casting and bite detection. Not helped as the rain lashed down just after 20.00hrs. After ½hr it eased to a mere drizzle but the wind did not relent.
Swell sets had been irregular for 3hrs but as low water approached, the tide turned early as if flicked-on by a switch. Swells grew and the fish started to bite, too late, time to make way to the weigh-in - that’s match fishing.
At the scales Bernard Vasey had sort shelter in the Fleece yard. A full house, all 14 members fishing had a weigh-in. 40 codlings, 6 rocklings and a billet. Two ‘double-figure’ bags, the second best from Rob ‘Tink’ Taylor, Whitby 11 lb 03 oz (4) inc. his best at 3 lb 12½ oz.
Man of the Match [for the 2nd time this week] Dave Hambley, Staithes 13 lb 08½ oz, his 4th HBoFish win, included the HFish of the night 5 lb 10½ oz, his 3rd HFish win.
Dave, in 3rd Place on the Leader Board, has joined the ‘100 lb Club’ just 9 lb 04 oz shy of 2nd Place Dave Perrett.
During the day, and fishing the best of the sea state, the Redcar and Cleveland Sea Anglers Doreen Dalton Memorial Shield Open had been fished. Ex member Matthew Garbutt won the HBoFish match, 23 lb 08 oz (11). Dave Hambley, weighed-in the HFish of the match 5 lb 07 oz - congratulations from everyone at WSAA.
Results:- 74 lb 00 oz (Av 1 lb 09 oz)

'Tink' Taylor first win
Peter Horbury
Low water 23.12 hrs, 1.5m, 1014 mbar, 7°C, TR 4.2m
Midweek 3hr evening match and the sea state, thick with colour, had been falling all day. NEasterly gentle breeze 6mph, full cloud cover with light drizzle. Come HWater 17.00hrs and the sea state started to grow on the ebb, leading to periods of heavy swell sets, white water followed by calm. Not to everyone’s liking, a growing sea, but there was chance of a fish or two as scaurs opened up.
Fishing was slow at the start, too much white water, patience was req’d until the gulleys and tangle beds were reachable. At times it was heavy but with plenty of slack line laid out, fishable. Weed in abundance was reported on the foreshore and in the surf making whole areas unfishable.
At the scales Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison, the early HF 4 lb 15 oz from Lewis Wright, Whitby was pipped by Secretary Peter Horbury, Whitby for his 2nd HFish win - 5 lb 01½ oz. His second fish 4 lb 01½ oz was a welcome brace for 4th Place.
Man of the Match Rob ‘Tink’ Taylor 12 lb 10 oz the first of two ‘double-figure’ bags. The second from Dave Hambley, Staithes 5 codlings, 1 r’ling his best 3 lb 05 oz.
Total weigh-in 35 codlings, 7 r’lings, 2 billets and a pouting/blegg.

Collinson victorious
Low water 13.54 hrs, 2.4m, 999 mbar, 10°C, TR 2.7m
Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. held its annual one day Open match on Sunday with a top First Place prize of £500 sponsored by Wilf Noble Plant Hire & Construction, Ruswarp.
Eighty nine seniors & 5 juniors fished from 10.00 - 16.00hrs between the boundaries of Skinningrove Beck to Coble Landing, Filey. The sea state was less than favourable for the 6hr match, flat calm save possibly 1ft SEasterly at best. Water coloured varied from thick to crystal clear.
The day started bright with a mackerel sky, a strengthening off the land SWesterly wind [gusting 30mph], with rain forecast for later in the afternoon. Fishing the ebb to low water 13.54hrs [Whitby] the scaurs soon opened up for anglers to venture out and fish the tangle beds and gulleys. The tide turned quickly and what swell was evident was soon lost in the flood. 14.00hrs and the darkening skies soon became inclement with rain showers and drizzle for the rest of the day. For some it was a bite less match but Ryan Collinson, RHB, reported it was a fish on both his first two casts.
Late afternoon weigh-masters Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison had set up the prize & raffle prize tables in Whitby Rifle Club before setting up a gazebo, under which to carry out the all-important weigh-in [16.00 - 16.45hrs] aided by WSAA Chairman William Atkinson.
The winner of the 44th Annual Open was WSAA Member Ryan Collinson 11 lb 15½ oz (5), and winner of the First Place prize £500 sponsored by Wilf Nobles Plant Hire & Construction, Ruswarp. Ryan also picked up 2nd Heaviest Fish in the Superpool 4 lb 14 oz.
Superpool split 2/3rds & 1/3rd for the top two Heaviest Fish [£116/£58]
1st - Andy Crow, Scarborough - 5 lb 08 oz - codling

Harland & Turnbull share honours
High water 23.46 hrs, 5.2m, 1022 mbar, 10°C, TR 2.7m
All flood, flat calm sea state, howling Westerly wind, and the texts ‘Not fishing’ said it all - a scratching match for the eight who were fishing. Cloudless and a bright ¾ moon, Yellow aurora alerts but nothing visible with the naked eye.
Two hook flapper rigs, 20mins a cast, and hope something self-hooks itself for a weigh-in. The only activity on the water was the RNLI on practice night.
The weigh-in of 6 codlings, 3, bleggs, 3 whitings, 2 rocklings, and 1 billet was the worst to date for the season let’s hope this forecasted cold Northerly blow will stir things up.
Man of the Match Brian Harland, Whitby, his fourth win, his HFish 2 lb 03½ oz was beaten by Davey Turnbull, Darlington 2 lb 12 oz, and his fourth HFish win also.
Results:- 17 lb 13 oz (Av 1 lb 02 oz)

Records fall as ‘Tink’ bags -up
Rob 'Tink' Taylor
Low water 21.15 hrs, 1.5m, 1008 mbar, 10°C, TR 4.3m
The week’s rough seas were beginning to settle, but the increasingly wintery weather continued with snow and hard frosts forecast. Low pressure over Europe [anti-clockwise] was dragging the cold artic air down the NEast coastline. Gentle SSWesterly 2-6mph breeze was deceptively cold despite the thermometer reading 10°C. Sea state, 5ft Northerly swell, plenty of colour, for the all ebb match down to low water 21.15hrs.
Thirteen members were constantly chasing the tide, moving out on to the open scaurs, gaining access to gulleys and tangle beds. But the swell soon abated once the ebb took full hold, and on some marks ‘died a death’. Weed, for some, was a problem at the match start, within an hour they could move marks to clearer ground.
At the scales Bernard Vasey oversaw proceedings, 53 codlings, 3 rocklings and a billet weighed-in. Four ‘double-figure’ bags, Brian Harland, Steve Ingleston, Davey Turnbull but Man of the Match was Rob ‘Tink’ Taylor, Whitby, whom had had an excellent nights fishing 27 lb 05 oz (10) including the first ‘spragg’ of the season 7 lb 10 oz for HFish of the night. His HBoFish is the best from any member this season, as is his HFish pipping Jason Ebison’ fish by 1 lb.

‘Tink’ brace of spraggs
Low water 23.21hrs, 1.46m, 1006 mbar, -1°C, TR 4.2m
Rob ‘Tink’ Taylor is definitely on form, pleasure fishing on Tuesday landed a brace of spraggs. “The best session I’ve ever had.” His best spragg 8 lb 05 oz is now the fish to beat for HFish caught Out of Competition. Davey Turnbull, Darlington was the pace setter at 8 lb 02 oz on 3rd Nov. Rob’s second spragg topped the scales at 7 lb 09 oz. Both fish were recorded by weigh-master Bernard Vasey.
Wednesday evenings match was ‘very’ inclement, dark threatening clouds on the horizon. Combined swells Northerly & Easterly 4-6ft with plenty of colour. A gentle, but cold NWesterly breeze turned to a fierce Easterly [at the flick of a switch] 20 mins into the 3hr match, hail, sleet and rain lashed down for nearly 2hrs, hampering casting, bite detection, and wind chill on fingers for baiting up. By 21.00hrs the sea state was growing.
At the scales the messages were coming in ‘gone home #Soaked’, just 5 of the 13 members weighed-in. 19 codlings, 3 rocklings, 1 billet. Man of the Match Steve Ingleston, Whitby, his first win. Steve’s best fish 3 lb 11 oz was beaten by non-other than Rob ‘Tink’ Taylor 3 lb 14 oz for HFish of the night, his second.
Singles Final
Brian Harland 9 lb 06 oz (7) beat Peter Horbury 0 lb 00 oz (0)

Haddocks for Ingleston
Brian Harland
High water 19.39 hrs, 5.02m, 1008 mbar, -1°C, TR 2.4m
First match of December flat calm sea state, -1°C with a gentle, but icy cold, ENEast breeze. Full cloud cover and the possibility of snow during the 4hr match. Piers and beaches were the marks of choice, fishing 2hrs either side of high water. Catch forecast was very low, reflected in the fact only 8 members fished.
Cloughton Open had been fished during the day, of the 70 competing for the £500 First place prize [Heaviest codling] only 10 weighed-in, Martin Wilding reported it was probably their worst weigh-in. Colin Stainthorpe came 9th - 1 lb 02½ oz.
It was a very cold evening, wind chill on wet fingers, fishing on the east pier I was above the freezing fog hugging the water’s surface. 21.00hrs it tried to snow/hail for a good ½hr. Virtually bite less except for an undersized rockling, fish were few and far between.
At the scales Man of the Match Brian Harland, Whitby, reported catching his 4 codlings in the first hour. He also had the HFish of the night, a meagre 1 lb 04½ oz - these are the target weights for December’s Monthly Sweeps.
HBoFish - 4 lb 10 oz & HFish - 1 lb 04½ oz
Surprise of the night, Steve Ingleston, Whitby weighed-in 2 haddocks - not since Sun 4th Jan 1987 has a haddock graced the WSAA scales. From the archives Ian Russell, Whitby - 1 lb 12 oz holds the current record.
There seems to be a head of haddock along the coastline with other clubs reporting haddock in match results.

First match of December flat calm sea state, -1°C with a gentle, but icy cold, ENEast breeze. Full cloud cover and the possibility of snow during the 4hr match.

High water 22.50 hrs, 4.7m, 1016 mbar, 1°C, TR 1.7m
Mid-week 3hr evening match, NEasterly sea state, 2-3ft with plenty of colour, on a neap tide. Strong gusting SSEasterly, 25mph, 1°C, felt well below zero with the wind chill. Just 1.7 metres difference between low & high water not enough tidal pull to attract the fish in to feed. Weed was reported, forcing a move & travel to a new location.
Swell sets strong and regular, clear skies overhead, plenty of time for a spot of star gazing as bites were few and far between [for some]. Rob ‘Tink’ Taylor got off to a good start on his second cast, a ‘five-pounder’ in the bag [when he remembered to close it!! No zip], followed by another on the next cast. A ‘double-figure’ bag before 19.30hrs his hopes were high. However the mark went severely quiet, with just a mop later on.
At the scales Bernard Vasey & Peter Horbury weighed Rob’s fish individually 5 lb 10 oz & 4 lb 11½ oz, plus the mop 11 lb 15½ oz. Brian Harland, Whitby was over the moon at the scales “you’ve got to see this fish”. A billet 2 lb 13½ oz, and with 5 codlings the second ‘double-figure’ bag of the evening 12 lb 12 oz.
Some better fish showing Colin Stainthorpe, and Lewis Wright 3 lb 02 oz & 3 lb 13½ oz respectively. All in all some better fish showing giving a match 2 lb 03 oz average.
Man of the Match, his 6th Brian Harland, HFish Rob ‘Tink’ Taylor 5 lb 10 oz, and his 3rd win.
Both Bri & Tink now lead in December’s Monthly Sweep.
Congratulations - Rob ‘Tink’ Taylor has now joined the ‘100 lb Club’.

Stainthorpe Xmas Champion
High water 14.09 hrs, 5.14m, 990 mbar, 6°C, TR 3m
Members Christmas match, fishing 14.00 - 19.00hrs, weigh-in 19.00 - 19.45 hrs at the Wilson Arms, Sneaton, followed by a Sunday lunch and presentation. £50 1st Place prize, many thanks to Neil Eglon, and £50 for HFish, many thanks to Rich Deadman, in memory of Michael Deadman.
Storm Elgin, now over the North Sea heading towards Europe had brought very strong winds and heavy rainfall over night. Sea state NEasterly 2-3ft thick with colour. SWesterly winds, gusting 30mph with intermittent rainfall throughout the 5hr all ebb match.
With the 100% cloud cover it got dark very quickly which in theory should of brought the fish into feed but alas it did not. Plenty of bites but no solid takers, just the one pull, and no return.
Of the 12 fishing just 7 managed a weigh-in 13 codlings, 9 rocklings, 1 billet. With literally seconds to spare Man of the Match Colin Stainthorpe, Whitby, made it to the scales. 3 codlings 7 lb 08½ oz included HFish 4 lb 01 oz.

Low water 22.21 hrs, 1.5m, 1015 mbar, 2°C, TR 4.1m
Storms Elin & Fergus had blown through, however the sea state ENEast 7ft+, and the very cold NNEasterly winds, gusting 15mph had yet to abate. Catch forecast was good, fishing the last 3hrs of an ebbing tide, to within 20 mins of low water. Enabling members to reach their favourite LWater marks, fishing the gullies and tangle beds.
The outer reefs were knocking some of the force off the 7ft+ swells, however there was some strong surging and tow-back as marks refilled & drained back. No reports of weed problems during the match. Reasonably clear skies and a few shooting stars were spotted with the best of the show due a couple of hours after the match had ended.
Reporting he had driven through heavy torrential rain, Bernard Vasey, fearing the worst, had set up the scales in the Fleece yard [however no rain had fallen in Whitby]. Man of the Match Neil Eglon, Whitby 3 codlings 10 lb 14 oz [his best 4 lb 00½ oz & 3 lb 08 oz].
HFish, a spragg, fell to Dylan Goldsmith, Whitby 7 lb 15 oz. Dylan’s spragg is the HFish of the season to date, by 5 oz, but does not lead in the Monthly Sweeps as Dylan has not entered.
Dylan was chuffed with his catch but less amused with Neil Eglon as he’d just ‘watched & laughed’ as his Dylan struggled on the shale-plates, ‘slipping & sliding’ trying to pick up his catch with rod under his arm [Dylan had earlier aided landing one of Neil’s fish & obviously was expecting the same service in return]. Eventually getting it picked up, he cuddled it back to his tripod, and proudly displayed it to us all. Memorable Moment!

High water 18.58 hrs, 5.6m, 1023 mbar, 9°C, TR 4.2m
The last Sunday evening match before the Christmas break. A flat sea state, a screaming WSWesterly wind for the 4hr match, catch forecast was very low. After text messages, just six members were left down to fish the all ebb tide from HWater. 50% cloud cover, a yellow warning for the aurora borealis, and the possibility of rain at some point to boot.
Haddock, never before witnessed on this coastline had the shoreline from Whitby west to Sandsend lit up with head torches as Clubmen and pleasure anglers alike tried their hand and hit the beach. Shoals of fish [whitings/haddock] are inevitably small, and anglers are best to roam and find the solitary larger fish.
Fishing [for me] was slow, without a bite in the first hour over slack water. Once the tide had turned the fish started to bite, a codling landed raised expectations. The wind may have aided casting distance but knocked bite detection for six. By match end the wind had eased, a few more codlings, and a whiting finished the night off better than expected.
At the scales, tales of woe for one, 28 whitings all 32cms [WSAA size is 33cms] lead calls for the size to be reduced at the next AGM. On hard nights it gives members something to fish for. Club Treasurer Dave Perrett, Whitby, weighed-in his first haddock 1 lb 00½ oz.
Man of the match, with his 24th weigh-in from 24 matches, Brain Harland, Whitby, 7 lb 04 oz - 4 codlings, and a whiting. His 8th HBoFish win also claimed his 3rd HFish win 2 lb 01 oz. With the numbers crunched Brian joins the elite ‘200 Club’ with a 60 lb lead over 2nd Place Dave Perrett.
5 codlings, 2 whitings, 1 haddock & a rockling for the poorest WSAA weigh-in this season.
Results:- 10 lb 09 oz (Av 1 lb 03 oz)

Shoals of fish [whitings/haddock] are inevitably small, and anglers are best to roam and find the solitary larger fish.
Fishing [for me] was slow, without a bite in the first hour over slack water. Once the tide had turned the fish started to bite, a codling landed raised expectations. The wind may have aided casting distance but knocked bite detection for six. By match end the wind had eased, a few more codlings, and a whiting finished the night off better than expected.
At the scales, tales of woe for one, 28 whitings all 32cms [WSAA size is 33cms] lead calls for the size to be reduced at the next AGM. On hard nights it gives members something to fish for. Club Treasurer Dave Perrett, Whitby, weighed-in his first haddock 1 lb 00½ oz.
Man of the match, with his 24th weigh-in from 24 matches, Brain Harland, Whitby, 7 lb 04 oz - 4 codlings, and a whiting. His 8th HBoFish win also claimed his 3rd HFish win 2 lb 01 oz. With the numbers crunched Brian joins the elite ‘200 Club’ with a 60 lb lead over 2nd Place Dave Perrett.
5 codlings, 2 whitings, 1 haddock & a rockling for the poorest WSAA weigh-in this season.

Turnbullator ends year on a festive high
Davey Turnbull
High water 22.00 hrs, 5.2m, 1003 mbar, 10°C, TR 2.8m
Last match of 2023, and conditions were far from favourable for the fourteen members fishing the last 3hrs of flood to the top of tide 22.00hrs, 5.2 metres. Incoming Storm Pia was building, Westerly winds 10°C, gusting 40mph, forecast to hit 60mph+ in the early hours of Thursday. Sea state Northerly 2ft and growing [too late] with some colour. Casting and bite detection was severely hampered, and best chances were of a ‘Larry lay-on’.
Weigh-master Bernard Vasey dragged himself away from Sofa Hole to oversee the weigh-in of just 12 codlings and a billet. Brian Harland, Whitby, 7 lb 11½ oz (2) thought he had the match, until Davey Turnbullator Turnbull arrived in the nick of time at the scales, 3 codlings, for the only ‘double-figure’ bag 10 lb 03½ oz. His best 4 lb 08½ oz took HFish of the night by 1½ oz from Brian 4 lb 07 oz.
After the weigh-in members enjoyed a hearty soup courtesy of the Fleece landlady Angela Fiori, and festive hot almond mince pies from Davey Turnbull warmed by the open fire.
December, from 6 matches produced 111 assorted fish.
70 codlings, 14 rocklings, 7 billets, 6 whitings, and 3 haddocks for 196 lb 14 oz - Av fish 1 lb 12 oz.
December was Brian Harland’s Month 40 lb 08 oz (26 fish] double the weight from Dave Perrett!!
At the halfway point Brian Harland also leads, by 18 lb, in the Sunday League from Dave Perrett. And has an overall 8 lb 08 oz match average weigh-in, extending his lead over David to 64 lb.
Davey Turnbull currently has a 3 lb 02 oz Av. fish weight.

High water 20.39 hrs, 4.8m, 993 mbar, 6°C, TR 2.1m
Happy New Year, first match back after the Christmas break, Storm Henk [8th named storm in 3 months] now over the North Sea. 8-12ft NEasterly sea state, which was surging badly, possibly influenced/aided by a secondary Easterly swell.
ESEasterly misty breeze 5mph made for a pleasantly mild night bar the hours rainfall around 20.00hrs. Neap tide, fishing up and over high water, piers, cliffs and some local beaches were the marks of choice for the 14 members.
Members found some marks overrun with pleasure anglers, the recent landing of a 29 lb 02 oz cod, in Scarborough, by Dave Anderson may have prompted some to dust their gear off, and venture out. Nevertheless, conditions were the same for all, massive surges chasing anglers up the beach followed by a heavy tow pulling end tackle into snags, far from ideal with little to no return!
After an hours light rain the cloud cover did momentarily clear, and a few shooting stars were witnessed. The Quadrantids peak is/was expected to occur at 7.53 am 4th January.
At the scales, a slow return of meagre catches until Davey, the Turnbullator, Turnbull, Darlington, slid an 11 lb 12 oz cod into the weigh-pan. The Heaviest Single Fish recorded this season by a WSAA member. Followed by 4 more codlings giving a ‘double-figure bag’ of 22 lb 07½ oz [the 37th this season]. Both weights have set a very high bar in January’s Monthly Sweep.
Davey is the latest member to join the 100 Club, recording his 3rd HBoFish & 6th HFish wins.
Dave Perrett, on returning to his car received an SMS message telling him his car tyres were deflated.
Viewing the in car display it revealed only 5 lbs!! A small car was spotted by him driving off in a hurry as he made his way towards the car park.

Low water 18.46 hrs, 2.6m, 1033 mbar, 3°C, TR 2.0m
First Sunday evening match of the New Year, neap tide, only 2 metres difference between high & low water. Easterly sea sate 2-3ft at best, no colour in the water as expected with an Easterly. A cold Easterly breeze 6mph, 3°C, some intermittent fog/mist blew in. Conditions were far from ideal and the evenings catch forecast was low. Every fish would count for the second half of the season [provided it not lost at your feet in a rock pool or the weigh-in wasn’t shunned for the comfort of Sofa Hole].
Fishing the last hour of ebb, and 3hrs flood for the 16 down to fish [a few may have neglected to cancel - too late now]. The only saving grace, full cloud cover, no moon light. Rain was forecasted for after the match in the early hours. Every cast small fish, nee bait robbers [more than likely rocklings due to the water clarity] constantly playing with baits and tying end tackle in knots.
The return to the scales was slow, just 6 members presented their meagre catch of 10 rocklings, 7 codlings, 2 whitings, & 1 billet. Man of the Match Colin Stainthorpe took both HBoFish and HFish wins. His bag - 3 codlings 3 lb 02 oz, 2 lb 13, a mop, and 2 r’lings. Giving him his 3rd HBoFish, 2nd HFish wins to date. Lewis Wright, 2nd had the next best codling 2 lb 01 oz.
Colin is the latest to join the 100 lb Club and jumps to 5th on the Leader Board - congratulations.

Low water 21.25 hrs, 1.7m, 1035 mbar, 4°C, TR 3.6m
High pressure, a definite fall in temperatures, the odd flurry of snow during the day, could winter finally be here? Sea state NNEasterly 4ft but irregular, close set, more surface blash than ground swell. NEasterly wind 20mph, a definite wind chill on wet hands. Similar to Sunday’s match, no colour in the water. Catch forecast was low for the 13 members venturing out.
Fishing down to LWater 21.25hrs 1.6 members were able to reach their chosen marks and fish the gulleys and tangle beds. The ebb was greater than tabled, aided by the high pressure. A dark evening, full cloud cover and no rain forecast.
Members reported constantly being pestered with lots of small fish bites, nee bait robbers. With the lack of fish pleasure anglers and members alike soon moved on to try other marks.
At the scales Davey Turnbull, Darlington had the HBoFish 8 lb 04 oz (4) while Colin Stainthorpe, Whitby recorded the HFish of the night 3 lb 05 oz.

Harland maintains 100% weigh-ins
Brian Harland
High water 18.00 hrs, 5.9m, 1009 mbar, -1°C, TR 4.5m
Growing Northerly sea state 8-10ft with colour, [forecast to reach 18ft in the next 24hrs]. Far, far from ideal fishing conditions! No one likes a growing sea of this size. Bitterly cold NWesterly wind -1°C 30mph with the wind chill, it was freezing. Heavy snow showers from 17.30hrs, snowflakes like saucers, alas if did not lay.
Due to the Amble Open only ten members were left to fish the 4hr evening match. Fishing started at HWater 18.00hrs, 5.9m, swells sets were irregular with some surging. Weed was present in the surf but avoidable if rod and line held high with some weed caught on the retrieve.
Fishing ceased around 19.00hrs to allow a drift net to pass by. Buoys, with reflective eyes, linked together with rope attached to smaller ‘sponge-shaped’ corks was adrift in the swells. This and the weed was enough for a few members and pleasure anglers alike to pack up and move marks.
A 6oz grip lead was enough to hold ground, all baits and various cocktails tried, fish bites were few and far between. Small rattlers, more than likely billet bites ripped baits to shreds and didn’t return.
No surprises at the scales, only Brian Harland, Whitby weighed-in a single codling 1 lb 02½ oz. Maintaining his 100% record, 29/29 weigh-ins. Giving him 8X HBoFish wins and 4X HFish wins, this last one is the ‘smallest-fish’ to win HFish of the night. A candidate for The Wooden Spoon [which I won last year with a rockling].
A date for the member’s diary - Secretary’s Challenge Trophy Sunday 25th February, fishing 10.00 - 16.00hrs.
Results:- 1 lb 03 oz (Av 1 lb 03 oz)

High water 20.26 hrs, 5.56m, 994 mbar, -4°C, TR 3.6m
NEast coastline ‘Yellow weather’ warning for the next 24hrs, snowfall and sub-zero temperatures forecast. Minus 2°C leaving the comfort of Sofa Hole for the 3hr evening match, 12 members were entered. Fishing 1½hrs either side of HWater. Sea state, still Northerly had slowly been easing over the last day or two, now 6ft+, thick with colour. Clear skies and a bright crescent moon to the south. Bitterly, bitterly cold NWesterly 17mph winds, with the clear skies temperatures would drop further.
The first problem, frozen bait, it would not thaw unless dropped in a container of sea water. Even the sand on the beach had a 2 inch thick frozen crust. Wind chill on wet fingers was painful even before the match started! Two baits prepped, keeping one eye on the surging swells running up the beach at all times. Swells were not regular, with periods of black water before the sets bowled-in over the outer reefs, a tad heavy at times. Whilst the mark looked good there were no fish, 4 rods and nothing in 3hrs.
At the scales, Bernard Vasey, [chipper as usual, fresh from Sofa Hole] had set up in the Fleece yard. First in Dan Middlemas, Whitby [Custom Rods] best fish first 6 lb 00½ oz, with 2 mops, a rockling 9 lb 14 oz. Next in, maintaining his 100% weigh-in record Brian Harland, Whitby 3 mops 3 lb 10 oz.
Break a season down, and in order to be competitive [Top Ten], a match Av. weigh-in of 5 lb is req’d throughout the season. Brian has a 7 lb 08 oz match Av. giving him a 74 lb 15 oz cushion [should he ever blank!].

Storm Isha
Low water 18.55 hrs, 2.33m, 998 mbar, 10°C, TR 2.5m
The ninth named storm, Isha, a ‘Yellow weather warning’ for the North of the UK. Winds SSWesterly, swinging SWesterly forecast in excess of 70mph for us on the NEast coastline. Rain was due, 1.5mm, with the worst around 20.00hrs, with lighter showers for most of the 4hr match. Fishing the last hour of ebb, 3hrs of the flood, sea state was flat with little to no colour, a scratching match. Big temperature swing -5°C on Wednesday to a balmy 10°C.
Sofa Hole was very popular leaving just 4 members fishing. Late afternoon light rain started to fall, getting togged-up in the garage to keep dry. The worst of the wind came when the weather front past overhead, a squall around 19.30hrs, and then for the rest of the match it was torrential rain but warm!
It was nye on impossible to see any bites but holding the line or rod gave a better indication, otherwise you relied on a ‘Larry Lay-on’ after a 20min soak. Fresh baits had to be kept under cover or they were ‘wash-out’ before entering the water. Around 21.00hrs the cloud cover thinned and the winds eased for an hour or so.
At the scales Jason Ebison & Bernard Vasey had set-up in the Fleece yard, just 2 members returned with a weigh-in - Peter Horbury, a rockling. Brian Harland, won the match - 2 fish, a whiting, and a billet 1 lb 07½ oz, HFish whiting 11½ oz. Brian maintains his 100% weigh-in, and notches 9 HBoFish, and 5 HFish wins.
The 11½ oz whiting puts Brain in plum place to win ‘lightest fish to win HFish’ of the night, nee the wooden spoon having recorded an even lighter fish than last Sunday!
Total catch - a whiting, a billet, and a rockling
Results:- 1 lb 13 oz (Av 10 oz)

HFish 5 lb 01½ oz |
Low water 21.45 hrs, 1.65m, 1024 mbar, 4°C, TR 3.5m
Whitby Sea Anglers’ midweek match, high pressure, cold Westerly winds gusting 30mph, NWesterly sea state 3-4ft thick with colour. Minimal cloud cover, on the eve of the Wolf moon, it shone brightly. Twelve members fishing the 3hrs down to low water 21.45hrs. Enabling them to reach their favourite low water marks, fishing the gullies & tangle beds.
The ebb was very slow to take hold, held-in by the wind, members were unable to reach their favourite marks in order to take full advantage. Leading to a few deciding an early bath would be a better use of their time. The swell sets did not wane on the ebb, which was a saving grace for Brian Harland who found 5 codlings for the only ‘double-figure bag’. Match 32 and as previously said Brian maintains his 100% weigh-ins, which in itself is a remarkable achievement. Congratulations.
At the scales, HBoFish fell to Brian Harland, Whitby, and the HFish 5 lb 01½ oz to Ryan Collinson, RHBay. The only other angler to weigh-in was Davey Turnbull 2 lb 01½ oz. A very disappointing weigh-in, lots of theories, too much fresh water to time of year when fish migrate to spawn.
Brian has recorded his 10th HBoFish win, whilst Ryan records his 3rd HFish win. Incidentally Brian, having fished all 32 matches has an average weigh-in of 7 lb 06 oz.

08.20hrs Marine Drive Scarborough
Magnificent seven bring home the Sana bell
Low water 11.35 hrs, 1.79m, 1018 mbar, 8°C, TR 3.8m
Bell Trophy day, the inter-club-tournament organised by Scarborough Rocks. By invitation 5 local clubs compete for the Sana Bell based on a Teams aggregate weigh-in [with a Team minimum of 8 to be paid to enter]. Peter Horbury, Brian Harland, Colin Stainthorpe, Davey Turnbull, Denis Thompson, Paul Short, Ryan Collinson [to this day Paul Short has never weighed-in at a Bell Trophy day!!]. Anglers start to gather from 08.00hrs at the Oasis Café, Marine Drive, Scarborough, after registration, and a brief update on fish sizes from Scarborough Rocks Secretary Ian Thompson anglers depart for their chosen marks.
Fifty five anglers entered to fish the 4hr match from 10.00 - 14.00hrs within the boundaries of Argyle Gulley, Hayburn Whyke to Cobble Landing, Filey.
Close to shore and localised sea state SWesterly 1-2ft thick with colour, SWesterly winds gusting 40mph. Clear skies, bright sunshine just added to the predicted poor catch forecast, but isn’t always on Bell Trophy day?
Local road closures made it interesting for a few to arrive on time, and again for travelling to their chosen marks. It was suggested a few road signs may have been mislaid by Friday & Saturday night revellers!
Once fishing the wind started to ease, swells were consistent right down to low water. An hour after low water the swells started to grown. Fish bites, some reported the whole day went without just one! Whilst others reported shortening casting times due to being cleaned off by crabs and bait robbers [small fish].
All too soon it was 14.00hrs and the long slog back to the car. Back at Scarborough Rocks Social Club, Denis McCausland oversaw the weigh-in of only 16 assorted fish for 16 lb 14 oz 15 drms, a 1 lb 01 oz average fish.
Weigh-in closed 15.00hrs, Ian Thompson, Denis McCausland and WSAA Secretary Peter Horbury retired to a back room to crunch the numbers, sort winners envelopes for Team HBoFish, HFish sweeps, and overall winners.
On behalf of last year’s winners Cloughton Rocks, Mick Chadwick, presented the Sana Bell to Peter Horbury on behalf of WSAA, this year’s winners. This is the 6th time Whitby Sea Anglers have won since its inauguration in 1926. [WSAA last won in 2018]. Next year is the 100th and Scarborough Rocks will be looking for ideas to celebrate it.
Bell Trophy day, the inter-club-tournament organised by Scarborough Rocks. By invitation 5 local clubs compete for the Sana Bell based on a Teams aggregate weigh-in [with a Team minimum of 8 to be paid to enter]. Peter Horbury, Brian Harland, Colin Stainthorpe, Davey Turnbull, Denis Thompson, Paul Short, Ryan Collinson [to this day Paul Short has never weighed-in at a Bell Trophy day!!]. Anglers start to gather from 08.00hrs at the Oasis Café, Marine Drive, Scarborough, after registration, and a brief update on fish sizes from Scarborough Rocks Secretary Ian Thompson anglers depart for their chosen marks.

High water 19.17 hrs, 5.28m, 1023mbar, 4°C, TR 3.3m
Named by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, brought strong WNWesterly winds, gusting 40mph early to mid-afternoon. A band of heavy rain was due on the NEast coast early evening. Sea state flat calm with colour, catch forecast was low.
The heavy torrential rain fell at 18.30hrs, and oddly stopped as soon as it started, the dark angry skies cleared by match start, not what the forecasters gave. The 3hr evening match started just as the top of the tide was turning.
Just seven fishing, reflecting the poor weather conditions of late, and interest wanes as the fishing gets harder. The wind did not let up, but thankfully it was not as strong, but still cold, nowhere near 40mph. It was immediately noted the sea state was growing, albeit too late to make any difference to the catch forecast.
Piers were popular marks of choice, hopeful of picking a fish or two in the tide. Undersized rocklings and whitings [less than 33cm] were landed in the first 1½hrs. Best bite of the night, and fish lost pulling 70yds of lost line and end tackle in.
Hanging up on rocky foreshore, had to be hand balled in, and wound up for proper disposal. 2 undersized rocklings early on summed up my match, and nothing to weigh-in. Error 404.
At the scales Colin Stainthorpe, Whitby took both HBoFish [4th], and HFish, [5th] 3 lb 00 oz (2 codlings) inc. HF 1 lb 12 oz.
January’s Monthly Sweeps were both won by Davey Turnbull, Darlington. HBoFish Wed 3rd 22 lb 07½ oz (5) and

10.00hrs Sandsend
Turnbull last cast catch
High water 22.43hrs, 4.5m, 1013 mbar, 10°C, TR 1.8m
First match for February, conditions were far from favourable on the NEast coast. WSWesterly winds, gusting 40+mph. Sea state close to shore NWesterly 1-2ft with colour, which, as Wednesday, started to grow towards the end of the match. Again too late to improve the already low catch forecast, an all flood match, piers and cliff marks were popular. It’s that time of year, just 8 fished the 4hr match, as interest and conditions fail to inspire.
Bite detection was severely hampered, gusts of wind gave false indicators on heavily bowed lines. Undersized whitings, & rocklings stripped baits, end tackle dragged into snags. Apart from that it was a relatively mild evening. Two hook, 3/0 flapper alternating with a 4/0 pennel rig. Just an undersized 24.5cm rockling, and an undersized 32.5cm whiting [33cm for WSAA] which was foul hook in the tail for all the effort [felt like a 2lb’er on the retrieve].
Match end was welcome, at the scales, only 5 members weighed-in - 4 codlings, 3 rocklings, 1 whiting and the seasons first LSD [lesser spotted dogfish]. Very poor but compares with other local clubs weigh-ins bar those with a whiting 27 cm size.
Man of the Match, Davey Turnbull, Darlington, 2 codlings 5 lb 01½ oz, his 5th win, included HFish 2 lb 12½ oz, his 7th win. Both Davey’s weights set February’s Monthly Sweep targets.
Brian Harland, Whitby, continues with his 100% weigh-in, and is the last member standing with an above 5 lb/match average.
Results:- 11 lb 06 oz (Av 1 lb 04 oz)

‘Late’ afternoon, the phone rings, “Are you in Pierre, I’ve got the biggest fish I’ve ever caught?” Rob Tink Taylor, Whitby exclaimed. The scales read 15 lb 14½ oz now the Heaviest Fish Caught Out of Competition nee the David "Sten" Stonehouse Memorial Sandsend Trophy, and a Personal Best for Rob, congratulations.
The last 15 lb cod caught by a WSAA Member was Fri 26th January 2018 when Brian Harland recorded 15 lb 09 oz.
Sea state for Wednesday’s 3hr evening match 4-6ft Northerly with some colour. A cold NWesterly wind 1°C 5-10mph with wind chill felt like -3°C on wet fingers, 60% clear skies, no rain forecast for 24hrs.
Just nine members fishing the last 1½hrs down to LWater 2021hrs, gullies and tangle beds would be fishable for the majority of the match. Long distance swells were not exactly regular but not surging either. The ebb was larger than predicted and very slow for the flood to push through. All noted there were short periods of smoother sets [not curling & turning] ideal for a fish or two. Albeit for some it was disappointing, one bite, one fish. All nine members managed a weigh-in.
At the scales the buzz was Rob’s 15 lb’er. Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison oversaw the weigh-in of 27 codlings 46 lb 04 lb. Man of the Match Ryan Collinson, RHBay, his third - 13 lb 11½ oz (8) inc 4 lb 06½ oz. HFish fell to Dan Middlemas, Whitby 4 lb 10½ oz his first win.

Kilpatrick 6 lb’er
High water 17.01 hrs, 6.1m, 992mbar, 3°C, TR 5.5m
After three days of non-stop rain, a break in the weather. Low pressure dominating, WSWesterly winds 24mph, 60% cloud cover. Sea state, thick with colour, NEasterly 5-7ft. Fourteen members fishing the 4hr evening match, started an hour after HWater 6.1m. The biggest tide of the month, tidal range 5.5 metres, LWater 23.33hrs, 0.58 metres. No chance of taking advantage, match end 22.00hrs! Prior to match start, baiting up it was evident that surging was going to be a problem right from the start.
At times the sea state was marginally too heavy for some marks, but members were confident it would ease on the ebb. But could not be complacent as surges pushed through up to ¾m in height. Overall sea state too erratic, too heavy, and tide would ebb fast, like a steam train, fish forecast was low. Once out onto the open scaurs the wind became a problem hampering casting. Bowed lines gave extra pull on end tackle into snags.
At the scales just 8 of the 14 had a weigh-in. Bernard & Jason despite not catching themselves were on duty. Paul Kilpatrick, Aisalby, Man of the Match with both HBoFish 8 lb 13½ oz (3) and HFish 6 lb 00 oz. His first wins of the season. Paul did not have an easy night, forgetting his head torch it was a return journey home, and a late start which ended well, fish in the bag before 20.00hrs. #JobDone. Paul’s HFish does not enter the Monthly Sweeps, time will tell if it will cost him?
Brian Harland continues his 100% weigh-in record, coming 3rd, four codlings, 6 lb 15 oz. Brian has a 72 lb lead over 2nd place Dave Perrett. Both have a 1 lb 08 oz average fish weigh, Dave has slipped below the 5 lb Av match weigh-in. In the Sunday League Brian leads Dave by only 23 lb 09 oz.
Davey Turnbull, Darlington has the best average fish weigh-in of 3 lb 00 oz, no wonder he does not weigh-in rocklings!
Results:- 40 lb 05 oz (Av 1 lb 15 oz)

8am very misty/foggy Sandsend
Secretary’s double win
High water 19.12 hrs, 5.9m, 1009 mbar, 10°C, TR 4.6m
Midweek 3hr match, St Valentine’s Day, flat calm, SWesterly winds 9-24mph, fishing 2¾hrs of ebb from HWater. A scratching match, conditions the same for all, catch forecast very low. Just six members fishing, piers and cliff marks were the best options for some tide. Very mild for the time of year, full cloud clover.
SWesterly wind aided casting distance in the search for a codling or two. Best chances of a fish were in the first ½hr of the match as the tide was still pulling on end tackle. Best bait, 5/0 ‘J’ hook and a 3/0 circle end tackle. Peeler and frozen lug cocktail, the bait of choice. By 19.30hrs, a codling 1 lb 08 oz. Slack water and not a bite for an hour, but as the ebb started, so did the bites from smaller fish or whitings. 21.30hrs a 36cms whiting, slinky - very thin, took squid, lug cocktail, job done, two fish in the bag. A good result for such a poor night.
The only discerning events of the night were watching the RNLI lifeboat leaving and returning to harbour, twice, with no navigation lights at all. It was only the throaty engine that gave its approach back to harbour away.
[Contacted the coxswain the next day, yes the lights had been switched off inadvertently, and no one on board had noticed until refuelling late that night.]
22.00hrs the rain started, at the scales Bernard & Jason were sheltering in the Fleece yard. Only 3 of the 6 fishing had a weigh-in. Man of the Match Secretary Peter Horbury, Whitby 2 lb 04 oz, (2) including HFish of the night 1 lb 08 oz codling. Peter’s 2nd HBoFish win, and 3rd HFish win of the season. In joint second Dave Perrett 2 whitings, and Rob Taylor 1 codling.
With a dignified grace Brian Harland, Whitby admitted defeat and his 100% weigh-in record came to an end on Match 38.
Results:- 4 lb 10 oz (Av 15 oz)

10.45hrs Sandsend
Turnbullator on a mission
Davey Turnbull
Low water 17.06hrs, 2.47m, 1025mbar, 7°C, TR 2.1m
The never ending train of low pressure systems, SWesterly or WSWesterly winds is not inspiring anglers (in general) to get out. Mild weather, plenty of rain of late made the water thick with colour. WSWesterly winds gusting 25mph. Sea state, 1ft NNEasterly but more surface blash as not enough strength to push through, an all flood match. Thick cloud cover until 20.00hrs then a bright ¾ moon broke through.
It is that time of year, fish are off into deeper waters to spawn. A scratching match, downsize on hooks, smaller baits and see what’s out there. Pin codlings, nee bait robbers, as the flood started. A rockling early on got the ball rolling. Time was ticking on and a move was necessary, as it happened, made no difference!
There was some entertainment though. To be honest we all thought it was Christmas, with jingle bells being played. Three pleasure anglers, each with the largest, brightest green tip lights I’ve ever seen, and the ‘pièce de résistance’ each rod with a bell ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫♪ ♪ ♪….. oh the joys of tintinnabulation.
Plenty of bites but nothing large enough to take the baits. It was a long painful (to the ears) 4hrs fishing but a weigh-in is a weigh-in.
At the scales Bernard Vasey had left the comfort of Sofa Hole to oversee a very meagre catch. Just five of the seven returned with 4 codlings, 5 billets, & 5 rocklings 14 lb 14 oz. Man of the Match Davey Turnbull, Darlington, 3 codlings, 6 lb 15 oz inc. HFish of the night 2 lb 13½ oz. Giving Davey his 6th HBoFish win and his 8th HFish win.
Davey is on a mission, having missed a lot of the early part of the season, he’s after a ‘Top Three’ position. Not an easy time of year to make inroads to the top!

Harland, the walk paid off
Brian Harland
Low water 20.54hrs, 1.85m, 993 mbar, 6°C, TR 3.0m
With low water at 21.00hrs a chance to get out onto the scaurs and fish the gullies and tangle beds. Little to no colour in the water, another scratching match, yet again the catch forecast was low. Some Northerly swell 1-2ft at best, gentle WSWesterly breeze and ‘no’ rain forecast during the match.
Cloud cover was minimal, a bright moon shone overhead, which did not help with the clear waters. Swells were not exactly regular, some light surging and periods of calm, but enough for a fish or two. Rockling bites, hook traces coming back all knotted up, unbelievable how they do it! So after an hour trying for codlings, 5/0 ‘J’ & 3/0 circle, a change, two 3/0’s - rocklings now the target species for a weigh-in.
21.00hrs a shift in the wind, SWesterly and a noticeable drop in temperature. The tide was early to turn, a retreat up the scaur. My 7th rockling became unhooked at the waters each, scooped it up, and flicked it into a nearby pool with my free hand, only for it to swim under a big rock!
At the scales, of the 10 fishing only 6 managed a weigh-in, 18 assorted fish of 11 rocklings, 5 codlings, and 2 billets - 11 lb 14 oz - an 11 oz average.
Man of the Match, who else, Brian Harland, Whitby taking his 11th HBoFish win, & 6th HFish win 1 lb 11½ oz. A long walk he reported, but paid off.

Cloughton Rocks Victorious
Secretary's Challenge Trophy donated by Peter Horbury
Low water 10.45 hrs, 1.64m, 998mbar, 6°C, TR 3.9m
Secretary’s Challenge Trophy day - Whitby Sea Anglers were hosts to Cloughton Rocks, fishing from 10.00-16.00hrs within the boundaries of Cowbar Steel to RHBay Landing Scaur. The weigh-in, 16.00-16.45hrs, followed by hospitality and presentation would be at The Wilson Arms, Sneaton. Team work, the winning team would the one with the best aggregate weight.
Looking at the weather forecasts it would be a scratching match for the 22 anglers, 12 representing Cloughton Rocks and 10 from Whitby Sea Anglers. SSEasterly winds 5-13mph, minimal cloud cover gave unwanted bright sunshine as the water was clear bar a slight milkiness. Sea state virtually flat, ⅓rd foot Northerly swell.
Low water 10.45hrs, 1.65 metres the ebb was larger than forecast, nearer a 1.0 metre giving better access to tangle beds and gullies. A bonus, the flood was late turning giving another ½hr fishing the harder ground before being pushed back.
An hours fishing at one mark, no fish, move to another, and repeat. Once the flood was in its full stride, the swells increased to 2ft however it was too little too late. An undersized bullhead was the highlight of the 6hrs fishing for me.
At the scales Bernard Vasey had kindly volunteered to oversee proceedings for the successful participants. Three codlings and two billets from 5 of the 22 fishing.
The prize fund Clubs £50 each, and £5 from each angler £210 total, giving £105 split 50/30/20% each for HBoFish & HFish 1st/2nd/3rd . Davey Turnbull, Simon Barker & Freddie Barker took 1st/2nd/3rd in both HBoFish & HFish.
Cloughton Rocks won the Secretary’s Challenge Trophy with an aggregate of 7 oz to Whitby’s 5 oz - Congratulations to Secretary Mark Stonehouse and his team. Cloughton Rocks now lead 5 - 3 wins.
Thanks to all for fishing.
Overall results:- 5 fish - 8 lb 06 oz (Av 1 lb 11 oz)

Looking at the weather forecasts it would be a scratching match for the 22 anglers, 12 representing Cloughton Rocks and 10 from Whitby Sea Anglers. SSEasterly winds 5-13mph, minimal cloud cover gave unwanted bright sunshine as the water was clear bar a slight milkiness. Sea state virtually flat, ⅓rd foot Northerly swell.
Low water 10.45hrs, 1.65 metres the ebb was larger than forecast, nearer a 1.0 metre giving better access to tangle beds and gullies. A bonus, the flood was late turning giving another ½hr fishing the harder ground before being pushed back.
An hours fishing at one mark, no fish, move to another, and repeat. Once the flood was in its full stride, the swells increased to 2ft however it was too little too late. An undersized bullhead was the highlight of the 6hrs fishing for me.
At the scales Bernard Vasey had kindly volunteered to oversee proceedings for the successful participants. Three codlings and two billets from 5 of the 22 fishing.
The prize fund Clubs £50 each, and £5 from each angler £210 total, giving £105 split 50/30/20% each for HBoFish & HFish 1st/2nd/3rd . Davey Turnbull, Simon Barker & Freddie Barker took 1st/2nd/3rd in both HBoFish & HFish.
Cloughton Rocks won the Secretary’s Challenge Trophy with an aggregate of 7 oz to Whitby’s 5 oz - Congratulations to Secretary Mark Stonehouse and his team. Cloughton Rocks now lead 5 - 3 wins.
Thanks to all for fishing.

February Turnbullator
High water 18.15 hrs, 5.5m, 1004mbar, 8°C, TR 3.9m
Last match of February, and nine matches left until close of season, just six fishing the 3hr midweek match. Yet another scratching match, a chance to pick up a match place or gain ground. Sofa Hole was popular with one or two having already mothballed their gear until next season. An all ebb match, started ¾ hour after HWater, catch forecast low to poor.
Sea state flat, bar a foot of Northerly swell which showed on the ebb, little to no colour, mist/fog on the water. Very low cloud cover impeded the laser light show at Whitby Abbey. Rain started to fall before the match had even started. Once togged-up it was head down and get baited up. Working two, two 3/0 hook flapper rigs all match, chance of a billet or rockling.
The rain was short lived but the SSWesterly winds grew in strength throughout the match, gusting 30mph, hampered casting and bite detection. Keeping baits fresh, four casts an hour paid off with a codling in the bag mid match. No rockling bites, end tackle came back un-tangled unlike last Wednesday evening.
The weigh-in was poor 2 codlings, 3 billets and 3 rocklings. Man of the Match Dave Perrett, Whitby 3 lb 07½ oz (5), 4th HBoFish win, with the HFish falling to Davey Turnbull, Darlington 1 lb 12 oz, and his 10th HFish win.
The Season’s match average fish has dropped to 1 lb 10 oz.
February’s catch 104 assorted fish from 8 matches:
65 codlings, 23 rocklings, 11 billets, 4 whitings, 1 LSD
138 lb 15 oz (Av 1 lb 05 oz)
February was Davey Turnbull’s Month 28 lb 02 oz, 13 codlings, 6 lb more than Dave Perrett, and 10 lb more than Champion leader Brian Harland.

Tink 5 lb'er
Rob Tink Taylor
High water 20.49 hrs, 4.68m, 1007 mbar, 7°C, TR 2.3m
First match of March, parking meters out of hibernation, Sunday’s 4hr match started in daylight, the end of the season is in sight. A half decent sunset over Teesside on the horizon. Fishing the last 2½hrs of flood, and an hour of ebb on a neap tide, cliffs and piers marks of choice. Local beaches not fishing, whitings seemed to have moved north. Sea state 2½ ft of ENEasterly swell, thick with colour, gentle ESEasterly breeze, and full cloud cover. Red aurora alert pinged on my phone, but no chance of watching the show.
Swells were not regular, playing catch-up with the flood. Fish for what’s in front of you, 2x 3/0 hooked flapper rig targeting rocklings for the all-important weigh-in. Codlings will still take the same bait [and a 3/0], with the option to up size rigs ‘if’ codlings show. Catching two at a time, with a break for a codling just before HWater, job done.
The wind changed direction, Southerly and the temperature dropped significantly [noted 3°C back at the car]. Slack water and it went quiet, with the odd bite and another rockling once the ebb started. Jason Ebison was very unlucky dropping a 5 lb’er on the lift, undeterred he continued but the fish did not return.
At the scales 7 of the 8 fishing had a weigh-in for Barnard Vasey & Jason Ebison to oversee. Man of the Match Rob ‘Tink’ Taylor, Whitby - ‘just the one fish’ he said - 5 lb 04 oz, gave him his 3rd HBoFish win, and 4th HFish win.
Eight rocklings Peter Horbury, now the most caught in any one match bag. Dave Perrett & Peter are held at 30 each for the season. Dave asked if there was a trophy? No, just the title, LOL, Mr Rockling at the Presentation.
Presentation Saturday 20th April.
Congratulations to Scott Moore, ex WSAA Member, on wining the EOBC.

Secretary’s night
Peter Horbury
Low water 19.00 hrs, 2.3m, 1025 mbar, 6°C, TR 2.2m
A welcome change in the weather, high pressure giving a break from the rain, but noticeably colder. ESEasterly winds, 5-8mph, 4°C, to be honest with the chill factor felt below zero on the fingers. Sea state 3-5ft ESEasterly with little to no colour. Full, but low, cloud cover, air was heavy with mist. Just nine fishing the 3hr evening match.
Fishing started in darkness bang on LWater 19.00hrs, 2.3 metres, however with the high pressure and wind direction the ebb was far larger, estimated at nearer 1.5 metre. Swells were regular in their timings but lacked regular height. The tide was very slow to turn, giving extra time to fish the tangle beds and gullies.
Fishing a simple 6/0 and 3/0 circle pennel rig, cocktail crab, mussel, dirty squid & blacks, the conditions dictated a good probability of a codling or two. Second cast a 2 lb’er, quickly followed by 2 more, then it went very quiet. A move was called for at 21.00hrs, thinking the fish had moved inside of me. A billet at 21.45hrs, time yet for one last cast.
At the scales Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison reported just Colin Stainthorpe 2 codlings & a rockling 3 lb 03 oz was to beat. To the scales then, HFish first, having two similar fish it was decided at 2 lb 02 oz, total bag weight 6 lb 05 oz (3 codlings, 1 billet) Man of the Match for Secretary Peter Horbury & HFish the night.

Low water 22.30 hrs, 0.54m, 1005 mbar, 5°C, TR 5.4m
Growing ENEasterly sea state, far from ideal, 5-8ft on the biggest tide of the month, LWater 22.30hrs, 0.5m. Surging was visible even before the match started at 18.00hrs, an hour before darkness fell. An all ebb match, tidal range 5.4 metres between HW & LW, marks would drain away very fast. Chilly ENEasterly winds 14-23mph did not let up all match hampering casting and bite detection. Full cloud cover with the occasional unwelcome flurry of rain.
Just nine fishing, everyone knew time would be lost chasing the tide and moving marks, either by car or foot. Piers just did not fish. The best fishing would be in the last 2hrs of the match once out onto the open scaurs as fish naturally moved into the gullies, highways to the open sea. Rob Taylor was lucky enough to pick up a fish right from the start, admittedly with a fluffed cast! Jam & Hartleys spring to mind ‘Tink’.
It was hoped the outer reefs would settle the surging, but it was relentless, rucksacks had to be safely located high & dry [40/50m up the scaurs], alloy tripods [with bait bucket attached and rods ‘Tink’] did not fare well if left unattended, washed over as a ½m surge pushed through. Bites, as expected with the sea state were strong and fish well hooked, fresh run fish were strong. Frozen blacks, peeler and mussel cocktails 6/0 ‘J’, 3/0 circle pennel rigs, bait and rigs of choice.
At the scales Bernard Vasey and Jason Ebison oversaw the weigh-in of 25 codlings for an impressive 50 lb 06 oz giving a 2 lb Av Fish. Three ‘double-figure’ bags from Paul Kilpatrick, Aisalby, Davey Turnbull, Darlington and Man of the Match Brian Harland, Whitby with his 12th win of the season - 14 lb 04½ oz (7).

Growing ENEasterly sea state, far from ideal, 5-8ft on the biggest tide of the month, LWater 22.30hrs, 0.5m. Surging was visible even before the match started at 18.00hrs, an hour before darkness fell. An all ebb match, tidal range 5.4 metres between HW & LW, marks would drain away very fast. Chilly ENEasterly winds 14-23mph did not let up all match hampering casting and bite detection. Full cloud cover with the occasional unwelcome flurry of rain.
Just nine fishing, everyone knew time would be lost chasing the tide and moving marks, either by car or foot. Piers just did not fish. The best fishing would be in the last 2hrs of the match once out onto the open scaurs as fish naturally moved into the gullies, highways to the open sea. Rob Taylor was lucky enough to pick up a fish right from the start, admittedly with a fluffed cast! Jam & Hartleys spring to mind ‘Tink’.
It was hoped the outer reefs would settle the surging, but it was relentless, rucksacks had to be safely located high & dry [40/50m up the scaurs], alloy tripods [with bait bucket attached and rods ‘Tink’] did not fare well if left unattended, washed over as a ½m surge pushed through. Bites, as expected with the sea state were strong and fish well hooked, fresh run fish were strong. Frozen blacks, peeler and mussel cocktails 6/0 ‘J’, 3/0 circle pennel rigs, bait and rigs of choice.
At the scales Bernard Vasey and Jason Ebison oversaw the weigh-in of 25 codlings for an impressive 50 lb 06 oz giving a 2 lb Av Fish. Three ‘double-figure’ bags from Paul Kilpatrick, Aisalby, Davey Turnbull, Darlington and Man of the Match Brian Harland, Whitby with his 12th win of the season - 14 lb 04½ oz (7). Brian is just under 25 lb short of a 300 lb season weigh-in with 6 matches left.

07.00hrs Sandsend very strong SWesterly winds
Poorest turnout
High water 18.05 hrs, 6.2m, 1005 mbar, 11°C, TR 5.2m
SWesterly winds 14-33mph, flat calm sea state with little to no colour. Full cloud cover and the threat of rain 0.1mm during the 3hr midweek match. Just four members fishing, the poorest turnout this season, catch forecast poor. Fishing an all ebb match, started 1hr after HWater.
Drizzle started to fall leaving the car for the walk to my chosen mark. Once in the open the wind hit, gear had to be secured. Fishing a simple 2 hook 3/0’s flapper rig, anything for a weigh-in, rockling, billet, or a whiting. Match started in semi-darkness as the drizzle increased to a light rain which soon stopped, only to start again an hour later.
Not a bite until 21.55hrs which did not self-hook nor return as I was packing up. At the scales just Treasurer Dave Perrett, Whitby weighed-in 4 billets, a blegg and a rockling. His 5th HBoFish win and, although not weighed, his 3rd HFish win.
Results:- 5 lb 02 oz (Av 14 oz)

High water 21.37hrs, 4.6m, 1010 mbar, 7°C, TR 2.4m
Sunday’s 4hr evening match started in daylight, BST Sun 31st March, fishing an all flood match to HWater on a neap tide. A dying NNEasterly sea state 4ft with little to no colour. Swell sets were irregular, lacking strength and consistency on the flood. Rain all morning cleared and the skies brightened by 14.00hrs, very mild 7°C. At the start the wind was SWesterly, by 20.00hrs NWesterly, probably caused by the vortexing over the cliffs as the temperature dropped and the mist moved in.
Bites, plenty of but the wrong species, rocklings were ripping big baits to bits. Change tack and target, simple 2 hook flapper rig 3/0’s, and smaller baits. The flood pushed in quickly, 21.15hrs time to pack up, what was supposed to be 3hrs of prime fishing turned into another damp squib! Ah well that’s fishing the 100 lb Club is still beckoning with only 4 matches left!
Mr reliable, Bernard Vasey, not fishing, turned out to oversee a very meagre catch from 4 of 7 members fishing. Just 10 lb 06 oz in a 4hrs match, 4 codlings, and 8 rocklings - Colin Stainthorpe, Whitby, weighed-in a sizeable rockling of 12 oz. Best recorded rockling 1 lb 08 oz Dave Cass 16th Jan 1985.
Man of the match Brian Harland, Whitby, 4 codlings 7 lb 00½ oz for his 12th HBoFish win, included HFish 1 lb 13½ oz, his 7th win.
Time for members to vote for the Most Improved member.

Low water 19.44 hrs, 2.09m, 1022 mbar, 6°C, TR 2.4m
First day of spring, meaning, the hours of daylight equal the hours of darkness. Penultimate Wednesday evening match for the six die-hard members fishing the 3hrs. The sea state had been flat all day, crystal clear, catch forecast was therefore very low. Late afternoon the wind picked up - 23mph NWesterly winds creating some localised close to shore, close-set swells, a growing sea state. Neap tide, fishing the last hour of ebb, and 2hrs of flood.
With the weathermen forecasting a cold snap, the evenings NWesterly winds had a definite chill about them, giving a wind chill temp just above zero, cold on wet fingers! Putting a straight line was impossible, and the extra line bowed like a sail, leading to end tackle pulled into snags. By 20.00hrs, as forecasted the wind just died, consequently as did the growing sea state.
Fish for what is in front of you, fishing a simple 2 hook [1/0] flapper rig, targeting billets and rocklings for a weigh-in proved successful, eventually. One undersized billet 33cm, and four undersized rocklings before landing a size rockling at 21.50hrs - never give up! Job done, a weigh-in.
At the scales Bernard Vasey reported ‘no one’ had weighed-in! All was well for my rockling to win the ‘Lightest Fish to win HFish’ trophy, #Again, until Davey Turnbull, Darlington, rocked-up, a spring in his step and a codling 2 lb 04 oz. Not the poorest weigh-in but about right for this time of year, just 3 matches left until the seasons end.
Davey records his 8th HBoFish win, and 11th HFish win.
Results:- 2 lb 09 oz (Av 1 lb 05 oz)

Low water 22.11hrs, 1.25m, 1008 mbar, 3°C, TR 4.2m
Palm Sunday, clear skies, bright sunshine, and a very chilly Northerly 25mph. Sea state 8-12ft Northerly, created by a low pressure system centred over Finland drawing the arctic polar air. All afternoon Amber alerts for the Aurora Borealis, turning to Red at 17.00hrs - not a chance of seeing! The penultimate Sunday 4hr evening match started in daylight BST a week away. The tide was already 2hrs into the ebb but surging was evident right from the start, not ideal.
By match start the Northerly wind had abated to a mere 3mph, and with those clear skies the temperature plummeted once darkness fell 19.00hrs. A bright full moon rose above the horizon at match start, with the water clarity only milky, the extra light was unwelcome.
At any other time of the season, a good cod-sea would be relished but being March the catch forecast was low as fish have moved into deeper waters to spawn. Small fish ripped baits to bits, very frustrating as the tide ripped out. Timing was everything, casting after a surge and the bait would sit well and not ravel up in the melee of turbulent waters. Patience paid off, a 3 lb’er in the bag before 20.00hrs, however not a decent bite thereafter despite being constantly on the move from mark to mark, chasing the tide.
At the scales, Bernard Vasey was in good form being on the weigh sheet himself. On asking, ‘best fish to beat’ was his 1 lb 15 oz codling. ‘Sorrio Bernard’ but my 3 lb’er tipped the scales at 3 lb 09 oz potentially securing a HFish win. Last to the scales Brian Harland, also enquired what was to beat “Can’t beat that” he replied, but did have 3 codlings for his 14th Man of the Match - 5 lb 09½ oz. Brian also recounted the surging had been horrendous where he had been, and lost one fish in the swells. HFish to Peter Horbury his 5th of the season.
Of the eleven fishing, 6 had a weigh-in, all codlings (9). Mason Fairbanks Jnr, taking full advantage of half-term, fishing with his step father, Rich Deadman, Selby, proudly presented his catch a codling of 1 lb 05 oz - well done. A future Junior member.
Starting the match on the west pier, Paul Kilpatrick, Aisalby, was given the run around by a number of Turnstones who took a liking to his bait, and enjoyed an uninvited free meal!
Results:- 18 lb 00 oz (Av 2 lb 00 oz)

17.00hrs Sandsend
Perrett 200 Club
Davey Turnbull
High water 17.18hrs, 5.6m, 980mbar, 3°C, TR 4.3m
Last mid-week match for Whitby Sea Anglers, fishing 3hrs of ebb, started 2hrs after HWater. Cold Southerly winds 17 gusting 32mph, NNEasterly swell 4-6ft, thick with colour. Match started at dusk. Skies darkened at 19.40hrs for ½hr of light rain and back to clear skies. The tide ebbed fast, and a move or too was req’d to keep deeper water in front.
Swell sets were irregular but looked ripe for a codling or two [had it been November], not a cod bite to be had, just rocklings. Downsized rigs for the all-important weigh-in for the last 1½hrs. Achieved, 2 rocklings caught on the same trace on first cast.
At the scales a warm Happy Birthday to, Bernard Vasey. Of the ten fishing only six had a meagre weigh-in - 2 codlings, 1 billet, and 9 rocklings. Man of the Match Dave Perrett, Whitby, his 6th HBoFish win. HFish fell to none other than Davey Turnbull, Darlington, his 12th win - 2 lb 08 oz - a ½oz heavier than Dave Perrett’s codling! Davey has weighed-in 57 codlings, an Av. 2 lb 14 oz and ‘no-other’ species this season.
Dave Perrett has joined Brian Harland in the 200 lb.
After the match Rob Taylor reported that codlings caught in the crab pots were very skinny. While others reported the unprecedented quantity of sea urchins, and the decimation of tangle beds.
BST on Sunday, and the end of the 2023 - 2024 Season.
Results:- 9 lb 06 oz (Av 13 oz)

Harland crowned 2023/24 Champion
High water 20.37hrs, 4.9m, 996mbar, 6°C, TR 3.0m
Last match of the 2023/24 Season, the wettest on record. Not to disappoint members 2mm of rain was due at 21.00hrs. Very cold Easterly winds 14 gusting 28mph for the 4hr evening match. Fishing 2hrs either side of HWater. Sea state, a lot of surface blash, colour varied from crystal clear to thick. Northerly swell sets did not develop until after HWater, too late to improve the catch forecast.
BST, darkness fell at 20.00hrs, 50% cloud cover. A scratching match, wind chill, constantly baiting up two hook rigs was painful on the fingers. Bites were few and far between, I caught and returned two pin codlings, and an undersized rockling until finally landing a rockling of size. None the less a weigh-in on a poor night.
At the scales, for the last time, Bernard Vasey oversaw the weigh-in of 7 rocklings, 1 billet and a codling for 6 lb 01 oz from four of the eight fishing. Taking both Man of the Match and HFish Colin Stainthorpe, Whitby 2 lb 11½ oz (3), the best, a codling 1 lb 14 oz. His 5th HBoFish & 6th HFish wins.
Many thanks to Bernard Vasey for his commitment to overseeing the weigh-ins even when he hadn’t fished.

Three undersized codlings, one of which took both hooks.
One size rockling and another undersized. March is always hard work. |
“Another year comes to a close for Whitby Sea Anglers Association, fishing from late September to the end of March.
The season started out well with plenty of fish landed on the Whitby coast predominately of codlings, but one difference this season was the odd Haddock landed, 3 were weighed in this season within our club matches I can only remember one being weighed in & that was many years ago.
I personally managed to land one, my first ever shore caught haddock. Into the New Year, and fishing tailed off for many but still some good bags of fish occasionally came to the scales when the weather was right. What was noticeable was the amount of wet weather endured by our hardy members throughout the winter.
Another thing was the apparent disappearance of many kelp beds, many say due to the sediment from the dredging in the Tees killing it off but hopefully these beds will recover again in the near future.
That just leaves me to congratulate Brian Harland on becoming Club Champion for 2023/24. Well done Brian, top rod.”
