Wednesday nights 3 hr match was the 1st round of the Singles Knockouts. The match started 1 hr after high water 5.9m, with a fast dying north easterly swell being knocked back by the south easterly wind. It was a warm evening and less than favourable conditions forced anglers to resort to scratching for whatever they could catch. 13 anglers were at the scales with 34 fish for 26 lb. Matthew Garbutt was man of the match with 10 whiting for 5 lb 15 oz. Dave Hambley caught the heaviest fish of the night with a codling of 4 lb 06 oz.

After every match anglers recount their misses and loses, and last night was no different. Dave Perrett reported he had lost a good fish which had become snagged and could not be lifted for one reason or another. Snapping his main line, the fish was lost (or was it?). However, being a big tide, I returned with Dave later that night to the foot of the cliff mark where he had been fishing. It was not long before I found his fish, snagged in the rocks, still hooked. Weighed later it was good codling of 6 lb 14 oz. Could this cost Dave the WSAA title? Time will tell!! We are still open for new members and it's only a couple of weeks to our annual open, Sunday 18th Nov. 2012.
