Low water 12.40 hrs, 1.3 metres, 1030 mbar, 4°C
Secretary’s Challenge Trophy day, Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. - V - Cloughton Rock Anglers.
Re-introduced in 2016 by secretaries Peter Halder & Peter Horbury. £5 match entry, with both clubs putting £50 into the prize fund for the ‘all in, all out’, 6 hr match. Prizes split 50/50 between HBoFish & HFish. Thereafter split 50/30/20 into 1st, 2nd & 3rd.
Thirty one fully paid up members of both clubs started fishing at 10.00hrs, boundaries, set by WSAA as hosts - Cowbar steel to Robin Hood’s Bay landing scaur. The day was bright, cloudy and cold 4°C due to the NEasterly wind 20mph. Sea state NEasterly swell 2-4ft, with little colour, more ‘green’ than milky.
High pressure dominating and this was reflected in the size of the ebb, far greater than the ‘tabled’ 1.4 metres, more like 0.5 metres. Fishing approx. 3hrs either side of low water kelp beds were clearly visible come low water. The flood was fast, pushed back in by the onshore wind but the fish didn’t follow, as expected and fish bites were scarce.
Both secretaries were pleased with both the turnout & camaraderie between the members. At the scales, Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison had given up their Sunday afternoon (neither fished) to oversee proceedings.
Cloughton Rocks weighed-in 14 codlings 22 lb 02½ oz giving an aggregate of 1 lb 11½ oz from their 13 members.
Whitby Sea Anglers weighed-in 17 codlings, 2 bleggs & a r/ling 33 lb 10½ oz giving them a winning aggregate 1 lb 13½ oz from their 18 members.
1st time WSAA had won since 2016. History
