Ship Inn Open, this is a Whitby Sea Anglers Association supported match and all members weights count towards their season totals..
Sunday’s Ship Inn Open Shore Angling Competition which is sponsored by Vaux for the heaviest single fish (codling) had an excellent turn out of over 100 anglers. There was a good sea swell which had been running for a couple of days from the north west, this had brought fish close to shore as over 25 anglers weighed in codling over 3 lb, with a total of 169 fish to the scales. There was heavy rain through-out the day but this did not deter anglers fishing from 11am to 6pm.
1st prize of £300 and the Whitby Gazette Bowl Trophy was awarded to Andrew Pickering, a Cloughton angler, by the Ship Inn landlord Peter Tyler with a single cod of 7 lb 06 oz.
2nd prize of £150 to Tony Barker from Redcar 6 lb 13 oz.
3rd prize of £75 to M Jackson of Scarborough 6 lb 10 oz.
