Whitby Sea Anglers retain Secretary’s Challenge Trophy
08.00 hrs Sandsend beach
Low water 13.21 hrs, 1.3 metres, 1036 mbar, 15°C
This time last year the ‘Beast from the East’, a marked difference from Sundays 15°C and bright sunshine. Cloughton Rock Anglers were hosting Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. in the yearly Secretary’s Challenge trophy. WSAA - 14 fishing while Cloughton - 10 members, the winners, the Team with the best average/member weigh-in.
Sea state was flat, save a slight, close to shore ESEast swell, colour varied along the boundary Whitby West pier to Filey, Coble Landing. The forecasted Southerly, gusting to 15mph, just did not materialise, and anglers enjoyed a very warm, bright, sunny day. Exactly the opposite to what was required for the match. Visibility out to sea was less than a mile, a sea fret was held off the landmass until 14.30hrs. Then the wind shifted into the east, and there was a definite chill in the air as the sea fret rolled in.
Fishing down to low water, rocky scaurs and tangle beds were well exposed and gave anglers a chance to fish the tackle hungry deep gulleys and tidal points. Fish bites, despite the best baits being offered, were few and far between (as expected), with some going bite-less all match. Some had to wait for the flood to start before they picked up a codling (or two).
The all-important weigh-in was at the Red Lion, Cloughton where landlord/y Dave & Wendy Kemp had laid on some hot food & refreshments - many thanks from all. Members were quick to the weigh-in with one or two good fish presented to Cloughton Secretary & weigh master Mark Stonehouse. Once all members had weighed-in Mark & Peter Horbury crunched the numbers.
Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. won the match with an average
1 lb 05 oz 05 drms/member while Cloughton Rocks 12 oz 12 drms. Total weigh-in 12 codlings, 1 dab 26 lb 10 oz 04 drm
