WSAA Christmas Match presentation at The Stakesby Arms, Whitby.
Whitby Sea Anglers Association - Match 24 of 49
High water 18.46 hrs 5.1 metres.
Whitby Sea Anglers Association held their Annual Christmas Match on Sunday 22nd December, sponsored by WSAA members Paula & Malcolm Pitman of Whitby Seafishing Supplies £100 - 1st Place £50, 2nd Place £30 & 3rd Place £20.
26 members fished the 5 hr match from 2 pm - 7pm with the weigh-in closing at 8pm at The Stakesby Arms, Whitby. After which members enjoyed a hot & welcome carvery provided by Stacey Stevens and her staff, many thanks from Whitby Sea Anglers Association.
Conditions were far from favourable as the south south westerly winds of late have not abated, bringing rain, hail and decreasing temperatures close to freezing. 1003 mm Hg on the barometer with a slight north easterly swell (1 ft), which increased as the flood took a hold. Water colour was thick, 18 members returned to the scales with an assorted catch of 19 codlings, 15 whitings, 11 flat fish, 3 billets and 3 rocklings.
Man of the match, with his first win of the season, Andrew Cass - 3 fish for 7 lb 11 oz. Andrew was presented the winners trophy by Chairman William Atkinson. Andrew also received a new trophy - ‘Help A Capital Child’ - sponsored by Mick Beedle, whose daughters, Abbey & Stacey, are doing a 40 mile trek across the Grand Canyon in February 2014 in aid of Help A Capital Child.
WSAA have given £25 to Help A Capital Child and a further £45 was collected on the night, further sponsorship to be collected in the New Year. Mick Beedle said his daughters and ‘Help A Capital Child’ would be very grateful of the support from WSAA and members alike.
For those who did not weigh-in, as no one goes home empty handed, there was ‘the pick’ of the prize table, drawn by raffle, many thanks to Dave Perrett, WSAA Treasurer, for organizing.
Results:- 18 members weighed-in 51 fish for 55 lb 05 oz.
