High water 17.51 hrs, 5.6 metres, 1029mb, 15°C
First match of the 2018 - 2019 Season, members, new & old, 24 in total gathered at the Bandstand, Pier Rd, Whitby for registration. After a group photograph departed at 18.45hrs to their chosen marks. With everyone meeting-up for the ‘first and only match’, time was of the essence, so travelling far was not an option, fishing an all ebb tide, cliff marks & piers were the obvious marks to maximise fishing time.
High pressure dominating, clear skies, but a strong 17-24mph, warm WSWesterly wind 17°C had knocked back the Northerly swell which had been running since the weekend. There was some close to shore swell and colour, the fine purple & sea grass weeds were a hindrance to end tackle, some local beaches were knee deep in weed.
20.00hrs a near full, blood orange, moon rose above the horizon at sea.
At the weigh-in, Fleece car park, Church St. 22.00 - 22.30hrs, James Gilpin & Bernard Vasey keenly enforced the ‘clean fish’ rule - no grass, sand nor shale permitted, fish must be presented clean (& size) at the scales.
Of the 25 members fishing only 12 managed a weigh-in (48%), Man of the Match, Rob Taylor with both HF 4 lb 06½ oz & HBoFish (3) 8 lb 08 oz, next best fish 3 lb 15 oz fell to Brian Harland. 23 codlings, 3 eels (returned alive), 2 rocklings, 1 billet, & 1 flat fish were weighed-in.
After the weigh-in members retired to the Fleece for refreshments, hot soup & crusty bread had been laid on. Many thanks to Carla, Landlady. Members reported plenty of undersized bait robbers nee codlings and billets in the 33cms region.
Secretary Peter Horbury collected names & entry fees £4/month for HF & HBoFish Monthly Sweeps (starts in October). Members are reminded you have to be “in it, to win it”.
Committee member Jason Ebison will be taking names and entry fee £10 for the Singles & Doubles Knockouts on Sunday evening (drawn in October).
WSAA welcomed 3 new members Neil Eglon, Dylan Goldsmith, and Allan Beale who got straight down to business with 2 codlings 3 lb 03 oz.
Match 2 of 52 Sunday 30th Sept. fishing 18.00 - 22.00hrs members do not meet up anywhere prior to the match start.
Members can now enter fish for the “Heaviest Fish Out of Competition” - David "Sten" Stonehouse Memorial Sandsend Trophy. Fish to be weighed
Top tip - Freezers.
A) need to be plugged in & switched on
B) require the door to be closed firmly
to keep bait in a frozen state.
Results:- fish - 45 lb 07 oz (Av 1 lb 08 oz)

High water 20.15hrs, 5.2 metres, 1020 mbar, 11°C
First Sunday match, 25 WSAA members fished from 18.00 - 22.00hrs, up and over HWater 20.15hrs. The WNWesterly wind had been strengthening all-day, a growing NWesterly swell, with colour, was welcome but a growing sea is not ideal.
High pressure, Sunday had been bright with little to no cloud cover so there was a definite chill in the air. BST does not end until 28th October. As it got dark 20.00hrs the fish started to bite, I personally put back 15 undersized billets (frustrating at 34cms), at one point thought I may run out of bait. Alternating two, two hook rigs it was hard keeping pace baiting up.
At the scales (& before the heavens opened) Bernard Vasey & James Gilpin were kept busy as 20 members (80%) returned with fish. 27 codlings, 5 billets, 2 r’lings, 2 f’fish, 1 LSD, and the first whitings (2) for 63 lb 11 oz - Av. 1 lb 09 oz.
Man of the match Denis Thompson pipped James Moore by an ounce to HBoFish 6 lb 06 oz. HFish of the night fell to returning 2017 - 2018 Champion Rob Allison 4 lb 07½ oz. Members Nicki McCourt, Dylan Goldsmith and Dan Middlemas all had fish in the 3 lb+ stamp, 3 lb 02 oz, 3 lb 07 oz, and 3 lb 09½ oz respectively which is nice to see so early in the season.
First LSD (Lesser spotted dogfish) from Dave Ward and the first whitings from Malc Pitman. Paul Short keeps pulling out the eels, 4 to date helping him into 2nd spot on the leader Board.
Total catch for September 109 lb 02 oz - 50 cod, 6 billets, 5 eels, 4 r’lings, 3 f’fish, 2 whitings, 1 LSD
Results:- 63 lb 11 oz (Av 1 lb 09 oz)

08.30hrs, Sandsend beach and there are a number of surfers out & about enjoying the swell.
Taylor bags seven
Peter Horbury - 3 lb 08 oz
Low water 17.09 hrs, 2.4 metres, 1023 mbar, 12°C
Twenty seven members fished the 3hr all flood match. Neither LWater nor HWater, on a slack tide, 2-3ft NNWesterly swell with some colour. WSWesterly wind 13mph with gusts up to 20mph heavy cloud cover, no moon light, it was dark by 20.00hrs. No jacket req'd being a warm night.
Where to go? The big question, not enough water below for certain cliff marks until late on in the match, heavy weed still resident on many marks, and a falling sea. Swell, at times was not strong enough to keep pace with the flood, leading to periods of calm, followed by periods of white out. Bites were few and far between and very finicky. Flood tide pushing end tackle into snags, with heavy loses [for some], weed pushed some off cliff marks as unfishable.
Approaching the scales one could not see the weigh-master for all the anglers waiting their turn, and watching proceedings. Bernard Vasey would not be flustered and methodically weighed-in everyone in by 22.25hrs. Even Dave Perrett wasn’t last to the scales!
Twenty one members {78%} weighed-in 66 assorted fish, 53 codlings, 4 billets, 4 whitings, 3 eels (returned alive), and 2 f’fish, predominantly codlings, for 8 ounces short of 100 lb. Two double figure bags, first this season.
Man of the Match, Rob Taylor 13 lb 01 oz (7) reported carefully picking his mark for all the weed. HFish of the night fell to Secretary Peter Horbury 3 lb 08 oz. Both Rob and Peter have set the bench marks for Octobers Monthly Sweeps. Peter also leads in the “James Jamsy dedicated Official Trophy”. Donated by James Moore last season for Committee members.
Members enjoyed refreshments, hot soup & crusty bread, courtesy Carla, the Fleece landlady. During which Jason Ebison & Rich Deadman drew the names for the Knockouts, witnessed by Dave Perrett & Peter Horbury. Preliminary rounds of both Singles & Doubles start Wed 10th Oct.
Membership is on the up, 35 anglers registered, as yet no juniors but there is still time to enrol.
Top Tip - if by the last hour of the match you have not caught a fish, then whinge, and whinge one (or two out) worked for me.
Results:- 66 fish - 99 lb 08 oz (Av 1 lb 08 oz)

Paul Short 4 lb 06 oz, Paul Short 14 lb 04 oz (6), and Denis Thompson 6 lb 12 oz
Two Double Figure bags
Low water 21.51hrs, 1.5 metres, 1017 mbar, 11°C
Sunday had a definite nip in the air, there had been an early morning frost. The SWesterly wind had grown in strength all day with gusts of 35mph, heavy cloud cover. As for the Northerly swell, it had died, knocked back by the wind. Water clarity was clear with little to no colour, a scratching match for the 22 members fishing from 18.00 - 22.00hrs.
Fishing an all ebb tide down to low water, members followed a fast ebb out onto the open scaurs. Once into the open the wind hindered casting, pulling end tackle into snags, but come 21.00hrs it just dropped away. In the first 2hrs under sized billets, and other small fish (bait robbers) were a hindrance.
At the scales Jason Ebison stood in for Bernard Vasey, and oversaw a very slow weigh-in as members pushed it right to time. Only 9 of the 22 weighed-in [41%], total catch 26 fish -
16 codlings, 5 whitings, 3 rocklings, a blegg, and a pollock.
52 lb 07 oz Av 1 lb 14 oz.
Two double figure bags surprised everyone on such a poor night. Man of the Match, and first to the scales Paul Short 14 lb 04 oz (6) 4 codlings, 2 wrasse, his HFish 4 lb 12 oz. HFish of the night fell to Denis Thompson 6 lb 12 oz. Denis reporting landing the fish just after 21.00hrs, having caught his mop much earlier in the match. Both Paul and Denis have reset the bar in the Monthly Sweeps.
The second Double Figure bag came from Brian Harland 13 lb 06 oz (5). Dave Ward caught a good blegg/pouting 1 lb 06 oz.
Congratulations to Rob Allison, fishing the John Stephenson Memorial Open earlier in the day, caught 3 codlings, two 4 lb’ers just missing out on both HF & HBoFish finished 5th overall winning a Penn Spinfisher reel.
Results:- 52 lb 07 oz (Av 1 lb 14 oz)

17.00hrs Sandsend beach
First match, HBoF & HF Dave Smith
Dave Smith - 4 lb 04½ oz
High water 17.42 hrs, 5.8 metres, 1009 mbar, 14°C
Back into double figures, the weather that is, a barmy 14°C, at match start, no jacket req’d [13°C at 22.00hrs]. A split swell Northerly & SEasterly both, at best, around 1ft so catch forecast was low for the Preliminary Rounds of both the Singles & Doubles Knockouts.
Clear skies, as the cold air met the warm SEasterly wind [18mph] a heavy mist started to form at sea level on an otherwise cloudless night. Water clarity varied greatly between marks consequently fish bites were very timid.
Twenty members fished an all ebb match, mid tide, neither HWater nor LWater, many opted for piers & cliff marks, then moving mid match. Weed is still a problem on many marks having had no rough seas to pull it away from the HWater mark.
Members were very slow to the scales, many ringing in & going straight home having caught nothing. Nonetheless, 10 made a weigh-in [50%], 11 codlings, 8 billets, and a whiting - 25 lb 03 oz. Jason Ebison deputised again as Bernard Vasey recovers - get well soon. Man of the Match, fishing his first match this season Dave Smith took both HBoF & HF - 7 lb 03 oz (3) & 4 lb 04½ oz respectively. {Must be the good luck red bucket}

Sandsend beach 08.00hrs
Rocklings aid Deadman to first win!
Denis Thompson - 3 lb 06 oz
High water 20.11 hrs, 5.1 metres, 1013 mbar, 11°C
Harsh weather over Friday and the weekend, 3rd named storm, Callum to the north west of Ireland & Scotland brought heavy rain and strong SWesterly winds. Tail end of hurricane Leslie off Portugal joined forces which brought more disruption.
By Sunday night the winds had dropped to a gentle breeze 8mph, and thankfully the heavy torrential rain in the afternoon had stopped as the clouds cleared. Sea state was void of any long distance swell, and colour. Many members had the same idea, and travelled to tidal marks. Fishing 2hrs up, & down over HWater in search of codlings, while others fished for whitings and flat fish - anything for a weigh-in but were disappointed as they just were not there!
There was a spectacular sunset with a blood red skyline which helped pass the time as fish bites were scarce. By 20.00hrs the wind had eased, the clouds had past to reveal a star filled sky with no moonlight. At the weigh-in, a thick cold fog had filled the River Esk valley and the temp had dropped to 5°C.
Rob Taylor and Niki McCourt had fished the last of the Singles Knockout preliminary matches together, neither made a weigh-in, but Niki reported snapping a fish off. Being unable to fish again before Wed night the match was decided by the toss of a coin, overseen by Paul Kilpatrick - Niki won.
At the scales 13 of the 25 fishing [52%] had fish to weigh-in, reporting a very slow night with very few undersized fish caught. In total 22 assorted fish - 14 codlings, 4 rocklings, 2 whitings, 1 billet & 1 flat fish.
Man of the Match Rich Deadman, Selby, his first win this season 3 lb 10 oz (4), caught his codling & billet before darkness. Putting his success down to fresh bait, mussel, lug worm & cart. Denis Thompson landed the HFish 3 lb 06 oz, of the night, sharing 3rd place with Dave Perrett (2).
Denis Thompson and Danny Middlemas are the last two standing, having caught fish in all matches to date. On the Leader Board only the top three have maintained the “5 lb / match average” target weigh-in.
Wednesday night, Round 1 of the Singles Knockouts, followed by the Doubles Knockouts next Wednesday.
Results:- 28 lb 05 oz (Av 1 lb 05 oz)

At the scales 13 of the 25 fishing [52%] had fish to weigh-in, reporting a very slow night with very few undersized fish caught. In total 22 assorted fish - 14 codlings, 4 rocklings, 2 whitings, 1 billet & 1 flat fish.
Man of the Match Rich Deadman, Selby, his first win this season 3 lb 10 oz (4), caught his codling & billet before darkness. Putting his success down to fresh bait, mussel, lug worm & cart. Denis Thompson landed the HFish 3 lb 06 oz, of the night, sharing 3rd place with Dave Perrett (2).
Denis Thompson and Danny Middlemas are the last two standing, having caught fish in all matches to date. On the Leader Board only the top three have maintained the “5 lb / match average” target weigh-in.
Wednesday night, Round 1 of the Singles Knockouts, followed by the Doubles Knockouts next Wednesday.

Dave Perrett 1 lb 02 oz {64.3%} Tadpole fish

High water 23.00 hrs, 4.5 metres, 1025 mbar, 10°C
High pressure dominating, clear skies, bright sunshine, gentle cool NNWesterly breeze, not strong enough to put a ripple on the mill pond sea. The wake of a passing coble 1 mile out to sea was the nearest to a wave all night. A scratching match for 23 members fishing, and far from ideal conditions for the Singles knockouts, Round 1, anything for a weigh-in.
Plenty of time for some ‘star gazing’ watching & waiting for the rod tip to nod. Lobster and crab bites, pulled end tackle deep into snags with heavy end tackle loses reported.
It is not often a Tadpole fish {Raniceps raninus}, is seen at the weigh-in but Dave Perrett was very happy with his catch. Not a British Record {1 lb 12 oz 2005 D McCormick, Bangor Harbour Co Down, Northern Ireland} nonetheless an impressive 1 lb 02 oz [64.3%].
Colin Stainthorpe puts himself into contention for the ‘Most memorable Moment’ award. Fishing the Whitby west pier, hooked a fish, and on retrieval the line ‘went very heavy’. Recalling “it was not an impressive bite” continued to wind-in. Reaching the top of the pier ‘the extra weight’ was a fully intact Cobra (3 section) fishing rod and reel. Anyone wanting to ‘reclaim’ their rod can join us at any weigh-in Wed or Sun night, Fleece car park 22.00-22.30hrs.
Man of the Match with his first win Danny Middlemas 3 lb 13 oz (4) a codling, 2 billets & a rockling. HFish of the night was weighed-in by WSAA Chairman William Atkinson 2 lb 11 oz.

1st win for Kilpatrick
Peter Horbury 3 lb 05½ oz
Low water 21.12 hrs, 2.0 metres, 1032 mbar, 9°C
High pressure dominating the weather, a bright sunny day until 15.00hrs. A Westerly cold weather front past Sandsend, heading out to sea brought some rain showers and strong winds. By 18.00hrs it was much brighter, the sea state was still flat, and crystal clear. The forecasted NNWesterly winds had not arrived hence the calm sea state for the 4hr evening match.
An all ebb match, down to LWater, on a slack tide, another scratching match for the 27 members fishing, it was not going to be an easy night. Many travelled, or covered long distances on foot to find tidal waters in the hope of picking up a codling or two. At 18.00hrs 1/3rd of the horizon was thick cloud, masking a near full moon. By 20.00hrs the moon rose above that cloud cover, which did not help the already poor conditions.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was back, after a short illness and in good humour, assisted by Peter Horbury. Only 12 members 44% weighed-in 16 codlings, 3 flat fish, 2 rocklings, and 1 billet - 32 lb 14 oz.
Man of the Match, his first, Paul Kilpatrick stunned everyone, placing 6 codlings, and a wrasse, in the pan, a ‘double figure bag’ 11 lb 04 oz. Fishing next to Dave Perrett, Paul had 3 in the bag before Dave had started. Dave could only watch as Paul kept pulling them out! HFish of the night fell to Secretary Peter Horbury - his second this month 3 lb 05½ oz caught on green crab, single 4/0 hook, pulley rig.

Low water 22.57 hrs, 1.3 metres, 1025 mbar, 9°C
High pressure continues to dominate the weather here on the NEast coastline. Strong WNWesterly winds, and very welcome long distance NNWesterly swell sets 4-6ft, with plenty of colour. Fishing marks for the 3hr evening match were picked ‘very’ carefully, this was only the second decent ‘swell’. Fearing the summers growth of weed would be torn up, lay hidden in the surf, until dumped on the beaches would spoil their night.
Another cloudless, but very mild night, and the full moon did not help. Fishing to within an hour of LWater, members chasing a fast ebbing tide right out onto the open scaurs. Fishing the tangle beds, being exposed to the strong winds as they moved away from the shelter given by the coastline, hampering fish bite detection. Members reported fine green grass weed fouling hooks, swivels and end tackle knots.
Swell sets varied greatly from mark to mark, members reported regular sets while others were left with periods of calm followed by ‘white outs’. However never ignore the white water for fish bites.
At the scales the atmosphere was buzzing with comradery, members watched & waited patiently for their turn at the scales, Bernard & James were methodical {fish were rejected until clean of sand/shale} as HBoFish & HFish were beaten time after time. Of the 30 members fishing 24 had a weigh-in {80%}. 70 fish comprising 59 codlings, 5 r’lings, 2 eels, 2 ‘tings, 1 billet, and 1 flat fish for the seasons best weigh-in 141 lb 15 oz giving a 2 lb average.
Five ‘double figure bags’, Man of the Match, new member, Allan Beale, Middlesbrough (6) 15 lb 00 oz, his first win. Allan takes the lead in the Monthly Sweeps.
HFish of the night fell to Rob Allison 5 lb 00 oz, pipping Peter Horbury* 4 lb 15 oz, these just 2 of the 4 fish over 4 lb.
Allan Beale 4 lb 08½ oz, & Rob Taylor 4 lb 02 oz

High water 18.13 hrs, 5.5 metres, 1021 mbar, 4°C
Sunday’s 4hr evening match and BST had ended, darkness had already fallen as 25 members made their way out. Strong ENEasterly winds had brought heavy wintery showers, including hail & snow (on higher ground) during the day and more were expected. Sea state, heavily coloured, of late had been heavy Northerly swells but had steadily fallen away during the day 4-6ft.
An all ebb match, started at HWater, cliff marks, piers, some rock marks, and beaches were chosen. Weed was plentiful, a thick soup in the surf, and Neil Eglon’s night ended prematurely, snapping his rod mid match fighting with the weed.
A bright blood orange moon rose shortly after 19.00hrs, thankfully masked by the distant, but soon incoming rain & icy showers. Around 20.00hrs the wind shifted abruptly into the east, and fishing was uncomfortable. Swells increased, surging as wind and tide combined, white outs a plenty.
A heavy downpour at the weigh-in did not dampen the spirits, as members waited patiently for their turn at the scales. Bernard Vasey, assisted by Peter Horbury, sheltered under a large golf umbrella and weighed-in all 22 successfully members. No less than 8 ‘double-figure’ bags with some good fish in the 5 lb to 3 lb 10 oz range.
Overall the best weigh-in for the Season 70 codlings, 2 billets 158 lb 07 oz giving a match average 2 lb 03 oz. Dave Turnbull, Darlington, had 3 near identical codlings of 4 lb 03 oz for
12 lb 08 oz.
Man of the Match, new member Simon Bowes, Easington, Nr Saltburn 18 lb 02 oz (6) his best 4 lb 07 oz. A belated HFish fell to Niki-Lee McCourt 5 lb 04 oz as a previous bag of 15 lb 14 oz inc HFish 5 lb 13½ oz was discounted after the weigh-in. This came about as Treasurer Dave Perrett and Secretary Peter Horbury updated the Ledger. It was noted the member was not entered into the match as his ‘ticks’ nee *credits had run out. A costly mistake for the sake of £2 like the Lotto, you have to be in it to win it - Top Tip. *(Rules 1 & 10)
Thankfully Simon had not gutted his fish & photographs were taken before we all headed home, and now leads in the HBoFish Monthly Sweeps with one match pending.
In the Sunday League, October ends, Denis Thompson tops the Board with 35 lb 08 oz (13) with Brian Harland 5 lb 03 adrift in second. Simon Bowes finishes 6th aided by his weigh-in.
Results:- 158 lb 07 oz (Av 2 lb 03 oz)

High water 20.49 hrs, 4.9 metres, 1005 mbar, 6°C
Halloween, and the last match of October, 25 members had watched the NNEasterly swell die off all day, by 19.00hrs it was flat calm, still with colour. Southerly wind 20mph, was bitterly cold unless you found a sheltered north facing mark. There was some high altitude, light cloud cover but a good night for star gazing waiting for the slightest nod of the rod tip.
Fishing 2 hrs up and over high water on a slack tide, piers, and tangle bed cliff marks were popular choices, members could move between marks quickly and not lose too much time.
Fishing a two hook rig, bites were timid, almost ‘playful’ in the calm conditions. Rich Deadman had an adrenaline rush as his rod tip dipped violently, and after being ‘hung-up’, waited patiently for it to swim clear. Was rewarded when he lifted a 3 lb 02 oz fresh run codling. Shortly after, lifted a 1 lb 08 oz billet to complete his bag 4 lb 10 oz for a happy 5th place.
At the scales Bernard Vasey (inc. face mask) had put up the Halloween decorations as last year. Only 14 members managed a weigh-in [56%] 24 codlings, 5 r’lings, 2 billets and a whiting - 58 lb 11 oz - 100 lb down on Sunday nights weigh-in. Both Dan Middlemas and Denis Thompson continued their 100% weigh-ins, albeit with a rockling each.
Man of the Match Allan Beale, Middlesbrough, 6 codlings
14 lb 07 oz, the only double figure bag. His HFish 3 lb 15 oz was beaten by Ben Laws 4 lb 12 oz. Allan was gutted to have had his fish on Sunday night discounted but said ‘rules are rules and I full understand, it won’t happen again’. Bernard Vasey 8 lb 06 oz had 2 good fish 3 lb 03 oz & 3 lb 07 oz is now fully recovered, and back in form.
WSAA members, all send their ‘get well’ wishes to Treasurer Dave Perrett who was taken ill, and since had a stent fitted. Bernard Vasey is ‘minding’ the ledger until Dave’s return, and had a ‘rush’ of members eager to pay in match entries well in advance.
Brian Harland can claim October as his 53 lb 07 oz (30), Paul Short 50 lb 09 oz (31), and Denis Thompson 40 lb 05 oz (18)
Results:- 32 fish - 58 lb 11 oz (Av 1 lb 13 oz)

First win for Colin
Low water 19.42 hrs, 1.9 metres, 1008 mbar, 8°C
Low pressure dominating, as the tail end of hurricane Oscar past to the NWest of Ireland, its anticlockwise winds made for Southerly winds on the NEast coastline. Wind strength, not as strong as forecasted, and nothing to hamper bite detection, nor casting. A very mild night 10°C, {dropped 2°C by match end}, aided by the mist/fog, a very dark evening which helped as the colour dropped out as soon as it started to flood, not that it was thick to start with.
Low water was mid match, 1.9 metre ebb, swell SSEasterly 2 ft was not strong enough to push past the ebb, leading to periods of calm. On the flood swell was regular, and was pushed in fast by the following wind. Fish bites were timid, this was put down to the lack of colour and confirmed by the number of rocklings landed 14.
First match for November, 24 members were ‘out & about’ trying to maintain that 5 lb match average. Best fishing was definitely during the ebb, after which bites were non-existent for some, even on the flood, Peter Horbury reported ‘he could have gone home at 19.30hrs’ with 5 in the bag, his best 4 lb 03½ oz did not have another bite. Denis Thompson reported getting hung up with a better fish which refused to swim clear of the rocks in front of him.
Leaving it late to the scales Man of the Match Colin Stainthorpe 15 lb 12 oz, 7 codlings, his first win of the season. In 2nd place Ben Laws (6) 13 lb 07 oz landed the HFish - 5 lb 03 oz.
The 3rd ‘double figure bag’ of the night 11 lb 12 oz Bernard Vasey, his best 3 lb 14½ oz. All in all, of the 24 fishing 20 weighed-in [83%] 47 codlings, 14 r’lings and a flat fish for 98 lb 04 oz.

Low water 21.53 hrs, 1.2 metres, 1003 mbar, 9°C
Singles Knockouts Quarter Finals, low pressure continues to dominate, Southerly winds giving some localised SEasterly swell 2ft for Wednesday nights 3hr match. Colour varied greatly between marks, some gin clear while others were thick. Weed was the biggest problem throughout the match, the bigger 5.7m tide had picked up the weed from the HWater line, and held it in the surf.
A mild evening with little cloud cover and thankfully the late afternoon’s heavy rain showers had past. It was 3hrs back from HWater before the match begun and the tide was ebbing fast giving access to the open scaurs within the first hour. Even then, weed continued to be a problem forcing some to rethink & move marks more than once.
At the scales weigh masters were very getting frustrated by members ‘not’ putting their best fish on the scales first, resulting in time wasted having to empty the pan and start again. Overall 53 codlings, 5 whitings, 1 rockling and 1 LSD were weighed-in 124 lb 02 oz (seasons 3rd best weigh-in). Five ‘double figure’ bags, two from new members Neil Eglon & Dylan Goldsmith. Of the 25 members fishing 18 weighed-in [72%].
Man of the Match #Again Colin Stainthorpe 20 lb 09 oz (8) his best 5 lb 07 oz was beaten by the next man to the scales, Allan Beale, weighed-in the first spragg of the season 7 lb 03½ oz. Both Colin & Allan have set the bar not only for November’s Monthly Sweep but also for the seasons best HBoF & HF of the season to date.
Colin seems to have found his form having weighed-in 15 codlings for 36 lb 05 oz in the last two matches, lifting himself to 6th on the Leader Board. Unfortunately early leader Paul Short has not weighed-in in the last two matches loses his top spot to Brian Harland, now with a 7 lb 13 oz lead.

Personal Best Pollock for Brian
Brian Harland 8 lb 04 oz
High water 18.03 hrs, 5.4 metres, 1002 mbar, 8°C
A grey start to the day, low pressure and rain showers for the Filey Open. By the evening, sea state SEasterly 0-1ft, with little to no colour, hence cast forecast was low for the 22 WSAA members fishing. The SSWesterly wind grew in strength throughout the 4 hr match. An all ebb match, started at HWater 18.00hrs, 5.4m. Members reported tonnes of weed still littering the HWater line on numerous marks.
With the moon in its first quarter there was very little moonlight in a clear sky, ideal for star gazing (& there was plenty of time). Fish bites were either timid, and playful or smash and grab resulting in fish being lip hooked. Undersized billets hampered some members throughout the match.
At the scales the talk was of the Filey Open (HFish match) with WSAA member Dave Turnbull, Darlington, 2nd overall with a codling of 4 lb 15 oz. Rob Allison 7th overall 3 lb 14 oz, he reported being pipped by an ounce to HBoFish 16 lb 14 oz (5 codlings, 1 billet).
Bernard Vasey & James Gilpin were kept busy at the scales as members were slow to return with a queue forming. Brian Harland, heeding the weigh masters request, slid his best fish in the pan first, a Personal Best pollock of 8 lb 04 oz (the 2nd best WSAA Senior specimen). Brian reported being “nailed on his 2nd cast of the night”, with the pollock swimming like a salmon from left to right as he retrieved it.
Brian now leads in both the HFish Monthly Sweep, and HFish of the season to date, bettering Allan Beale’s spragg 7 lb 03½ oz from Match 13 Wed 7th Nov.
Overall only 11 members weighed-in {50%} 28 codlings, 15 whitings, 3 r’lings, 1 billet, and a pollock. The seasons total weigh-in has just past 1,000 lb, 592 fish Av 1 lb 11 oz

3 Laws Ben tops scales (2)
Ben Laws
High water 20.06 hrs, 4.8 metres, 1018 mbar, 9°C
All day strong SSWesterly winds never eased, and at times gusts appeared to increase during the 3hr evening match. Sea state was ‘flat’, only South facing marks had anything that could be described as swell. Additionally with no colour in the water the catch forecast in these conditions was going to be very poor. Members, having deduced this for themselves, dropped out of the match, and for the very first time less than 20 fished, despite the Doubles Knockouts semi-finals being fished (and the Rules were adhered to).
With clear skies, and the moon already setting in the west, it was a dark evening. Fishing up & over HWater on a slack tide. Fish bites were very hard to detect, if at all, with lines being battered by the wind. Lines well bowed, end tackle was dragged into snags. No reports of weed problems, Danny Middlemas reported dropping a codling in the ‘aqua pods’ and could only watch as it bounced from rock to rock, like a pin ball.
At the scales, members were slow to return, many had travelled in search of a weigh-in. Bernard Vasey was all set up waiting patiently, Norman Middlemas placed a 6 oz dab in the pan, beaten then by Colin Stainthorpe, an 8 oz dab. It was obvious the weigh-in would be poor, but the humour & comradery was in good form with members declining a ‘photo’ with the HFish as it increased ounce by ounce.
Last man to the scales, Man of the Match Ben Laws, with not only his first match/HBoFish win, 2 codlings 3 lb 00 oz, also had the HFish of the night 2 lb 00 oz. When told he had won he exclaimed “you’re joking”? All in all 8 of 18 weighed-in [44%].
Members retired to the warmth of the open fire in the Fleece, where hot soup and refreshments were on offer.

A high pressure system over Europe, a brisk, cool Easterly wind [from Russia] did not deliver the promised swell. Members reported the swell during the day had been larger than that during the 4hr evening match. Easterlies, and the colour is never good, and varied greatly from mark to mark (the majority reported clear). A different swell direction than of late had picked up the weed from the high water line. And for some, was a problem, fine green/purple grass weed and kelp fouled end tackle.
A neap tide, low water 18.42hrs gave members a chance to get out onto the scaurs, and rocky shoreline to fish the edges of the tangle beds on the flood. Despite the Easterly wind the tide was very slow to turn, when it did the fish started to feed. Water clarity made for timid fish bites, Richard Deadman very nearly dropped his rod when his best fish bit, and ran with the bait, a fresh run codling 3 lb 12 oz.
A bright ¾ moon was occasionally masked by heavy cloud cover. There had been a couple of ‘Open’ matches during the day, so numbers were slightly down, but some members fished all day. Ste Swales was 6th in the Mick Hillaby Memorial match
6 lb 12 oz 14 drms (3)
At the scales Bernard, James and Jason were all in good form as members steadily returned with their fish and tales of woe. Matty Lamb, Guisborough, early to the scales 12 lb 00 oz (4), had an agonising wait to possibly pick up his first win. But Dave Hambley, Staithes, had other ideas leaving it late (after a long walk), and pipped Matty to Man of the Match by 3 oz, HBoFish 12 lb 03 oz (5), Dave’s first win. As a consolation Matty took HFish of the night 4 lb 05 oz.
Of the 21 members fishing 15 weighed-in [71%] 38 assorted fish - 29 codlings, 6 billets, 1 whiting, 1 eel, & 1 dab.
Results:- 74 lb 01 oz (Av 1 lb 15 oz)

08.30 hrs en-route Sandsend beach ENEasterly swell
39th Annual Open Fishing Competition - photos etc
Allan Beale & WSAA Chairman William Atkinson
Low water 11.07 hrs, 1.1 metres, 1019 mbar, 5°C
An excellent turn out, One Hundred and Ten anglers took part in Whitby Sea Anglers Association’s 39th Annual Open fishing competition on Sunday 25th November. Fishing 10.00 - 16.00hrs
The 1st Place prize of £500 was sponsored by Wilf Nobles Plant Hire & Construction, Ruswarp (Nr Whitby). The weigh-in & presentation was held in The Fleece, Church St, Whitby, where landlady Carla Smith and her staff laid on hot food and hospitality for the visiting anglers.
Sea state was ENEasterly with little to no colour, save some from recent heavy rainfall. Close set swells ie close to shore were regular with little to no surging. No sooner than low water was reached 11.07hrs, the tide turned very quickly, aided by the on shore wind, and grew in height 3-5ft. ENEasterly wind 16-20 mph hampered casting and bite detection. Anglers reported lines and end tackle being fouled by fine green weed. Due to the clarity of the water, bites were timid, with many takes not returning.
At the scales, manned by Bernard Vasey, James Gilpin and Dave Perrett, James Hewitson was also on hand to take all the photographs. They were all kept busy, with an orderly queue forming as 48 weighed-in 156 fish for 392 lb 09 oz. The top 14 anglers all having ‘double figure’ bags.
The £500 first place prize was won by Cloughton angler Simon Barker, 6 fish for 21 lb 03 oz
£300 second place prize went to Andy Crow, 8 fish 20 lb 07 oz
£200 third place prize went to Steve Dixon, 8 fish 19 lb 07½ oz
In the Superpool sweeps the Heaviest Single Fish was won by Chris France 6 lb 01½ oz, and the second HFish was landed by WSAA member Rob Allison 5 lb 10½ oz
Just one Junior angler weighed-in John Horner - 1 lb 15½ oz
The Flat fish prize was won by local Whitby angler Dameon Townsend 1 lb 03½ oz - £35.00
In the Optional Pairs, Simon & Fred Barker - a combined weigh-in of 37 lb 00 oz - 13 fish.
Special Placed Prizes -

08.00 hrs a very wet & windy Sandsend beach
Best weigh-in for November
&
3rd win for Rob Taylor
High water 19.35 hrs, 5.3 metres, 998 mbar, 13°C
Weather dominated by a deep low pressure out in the Atlantic, and Storm Diana incoming. The Met Office had issued severe weather warnings, 40mph SWesterly winds predicted for NEast. Sea state, plenty of colour, 3ft SWesterly. Fishing the last hour of the flood, weed, wherever members went could potentially put a halt to their nights fishing. Cliff marks, piers and local beaches, but finding any shelter from the wind was very hard for all.
Weed was a problem for the first hour, mainly bladder rack as opposed to kelp stalks. After the first hour of ebb it started to surge, with ‘white-outs’. Swells breaking over the outer reefs, over the out-going swells creating strong tow on lines and end tackle. The rain held off, and the wind dropped significantly by match end.
At the scales Bernard & James were very busy, members heeding the weigh masters instructions, placing their best fish on the scales first (11 codlings over 4 lb). 5 ‘double-figure’ bags from 19 of the 23 members weighing-in. Overall it was the best weigh-in, of the 8, for November 139 lb 09 oz, giving an average 2 lb 05 oz fish.
Man of the Match Rob Taylor, recently back from America, tanned and all smiles 18 lb 06 oz (7) his best 4 lb 04 oz was well short of the best fish of the night. This fell to Dan Middlemas, who has fished all 19 matches, and weighed-in in all, took his first HFish win 5 lb 06½ oz
Richard Deadman's codling was lip 'hooked' on the rig clip! Explain that one?
Both Ben Laws & Dave Smith caught bass on Sandsend beach, reporting 'they were at us as soon as you hit the water'.

Weather dominated by a deep low pressure out in the Atlantic, and Storm Diana incoming. The Met Office had issued severe weather warnings, 40mph SWesterly winds predicted for NEast. Sea state, plenty of colour, 3ft SWesterly. Fishing the last hour of the flood, weed, wherever members went could potentially put a halt to their nights fishing. Cliff marks, piers and local beaches, but finding any shelter from the wind was very hard for all.
Weed was a problem for the first hour, mainly bladder rack as opposed to kelp stalks. After the first hour of ebb it started to surge, with ‘white-outs’. Swells breaking over the outer reefs, over the out-going swells creating strong tow on lines and end tackle. The rain held off, and the wind dropped significantly by match end.
At the scales Bernard & James were very busy, members heeding the weigh masters instructions, placing their best fish on the scales first (11 codlings over 4 lb). 5 ‘double-figure’ bags from 19 of the 23 members weighing-in.

Personal Best for Rich
Rich Deadman 4 lb 03 oz
Low water 18.14 hrs, 2.2 metres, 989 mbar, 10°C
Another deep low pressure system, this time off the west coast of Stornoway, continuing to dominate the weather. SWesterly winds (offshore) 20mph, with gusts of 30+ mph. Some shelter was gained from the landmass but on moving marks during the flood there was no escape, vortex’s under the cliffs.
A neap tide, an all flood match, the Northerly swell 1ft, grew during the match, was regular with no surging. No weed problems reported but the HWater lines are littered with rotting weed. With very little colour in the water, milky grey (at best) to clear it was a hard night fishing, fish bites were timid ‘smash & grab’ with no return, confirmed with the fish species at the scales, r’lings, billets, and a blegg.
No rain forecasted, but two heavy showers at 19.00 & 20.00 hrs were short and sharp on an otherwise mild night 10°C. There was no moonlight, only light pollution from Whitby town to light up the evening sky.
Only 13 of the 21 members fishing [62%] presented fish at the scales, including 2 ‘double-figure’ bags. The first, and a WSAA PB, from Rich Deadman, Selby, 3 codlings, a r’ling - 10 lb 02 oz - his second Man of the Match this season. His best 4 lb 03 oz was soon beaten by next to the scales. Ben Laws 4 lb 07½ oz, one of 3 for 10 lb, was also soon beaten by Colin Stainthorpe
4 lb 15 oz for the HFish of the night. Ben Laws reported losing a better fish 10 lb+, not using a ‘rotten bottom’ his lead & fish were fast in the rocks, just out of reach.
Total catch 21 codlings {3x 4 lb’ers}, 5 r’lings, 2 billets, a blegg/pouting, and an LSD [lesser spotted dogfish] 60 lb 00 oz giving a match average 2 lb 00 oz/fish to start Decembers catch.

Lucky for Dave Hambley 13 lb 13 oz
On this day in 2013 Whitby encountered a tidal surge with the town centre flooding, and much damage along the local coastline sea defences. In 2018, for Wednesday night’s 3hr match storm Etienne was dominating the weather. 2” of rain had been forecasted by the Met Office, and as forecasted the rain thankfully stopped at 19.00hrs.
A very welcome Northerly swell 4-6Ft has been running over the last couple of days with plenty of colour, ‘but’ on Wednesday night surging was reported as a problem on many ‘deeper water’ marks. Weed continues as a big problem with more time wasted retrieving & untangling rigs from bladder rack and red/green grass weed.
A dark night cloudless night, no moonlight due to a new moon {Friday}, a very mild night, gentle WSWesterly breeze. With reports of fish being caught the previous night, the ‘fish chasers’ were ‘out & about’, one member reported being followed by 16 rods, nee ‘a bus trip’ to one mark, consequently he was forced to fish elsewhere without success.
At the scales Bernard, James & Jason were kept busy by the 17 of the 24 members fishing & returning with a predominantly codling catch. Although Nicki McCourt had 5 r’lings, along with 3 codlings in his bag 7 lb 13 oz. With a good show of 3/4 lb’ers, many undersized codlings were returned, a good sign for the future. As low water approached, fish bites were more timid, and did not pick up until the flood started to push.
Man of the Match, his second win, Dave Hambley 13 lb 13 oz, two good codlings, 4 lb 04½ oz, 4 lb 04 oz, a mop & a blegg. HFish of the night fell to Dave Ward, 4 lb 12½ oz, his first win, his other codling 4 lb 04½ oz, made a good 9 lb+ bag.
Rob Allison & Colin Stainthorpe join Brian Harland in the ‘100 lb Club’. Colin has been fishing exceptionally well of late after a slow start.

13.30hrs Sandsend beach very strong WNWesterly wind 7°C before wind chill!
Colin wins Cloughton Open
Cloughton Rocks held their annual Open match Open, 104 anglers competing 10.00hrs - 16.00hrs in their ‘Heaviest Single Fish’ match. Low pressure over Norway gave a growing NWesterly sea, WNWesterly wind 14-21 mph, drawn from the artic, bitterly cold 7°C with the wind chill.
‘Whitby’ anglers made up the top three:-
1st - Colin Stainthorpe WSAA - 5 lb 11 oz 00 drams.
2nd - Denis Thompson WSAA - 5 lb 10 oz 04 drams.
3rd - Luke McCourt, Whitby - 5 lb 07 oz 04 drams.

High water 17.06 hrs, 5.5 metres, 1018 mbar, 4°C
For the WSAA members 4hr evening, all ebb match, started an hour after HWater. The NWesterly sea state is the least favourable for this coastline, always causes massive surging, reported by members, up to 2ft. With surging, comes the strong ebb tow, pulling end tackle into snags. Marks drained away, then flooded again, with the surge on top of the returning tide catching some out as they tried to reach their marks.
Members estimated the ebb was at least 1hr behind, due to the surging. This being the first decent Northerly swell 8 - 9 ft+ the weed was in abundance. Making a lot of marks totally unfishable, leading to members returning to their cars and moving, only to find more weed. The WNWesterly wind had fallen away by evening, no moonlight on a cloudless night, temp had dropped to 4°C by match end.
Only 12 of the 24 members fishing 50% returned to the scales with predominantly codlings. With his second win of the season Brian Harland took Man of the Match, winning both HBoFish
10 lb 05 oz (3) & HFish 7 lb 00 oz (his, the 2nd best cod to be weighed-in this season - 7 lb 03½ oz from Allan Beale 7th Nov). Other better fish weighed-in 4 lb 14 oz Dan Middlemas &
5 lb 13 oz from Ben Laws, in all 22 codlings, and a billet.
Paul Short 7 lb 07 oz (3) joined the 100 lb Club, Brian Harland has a 28 lb lead over 2nd place Rob Alison.
Results:- 60 lb 00 oz (Av 2 lb 10 oz)

10.00hrs Sandsend beach, SEasterly winds knocked back the swell by match start
All 'whiting' on the night - First win James 'Jamsy' Moore
High water 18.52 hrs, 5.2 metres, 1020 mbar, 4°C
Sunday’s low pressure over the Baltic Sea (Norway/Finland) had been replaced by a high pressure system, again over the Baltic Sea. Consequently the NWesterly winds had been replaced by bitterly cold SEasterlies. Wind strength 10mph, not as strong as forecasted, still, ‘baiting up’ with wet hands was painful with the wind chill. Sea state, still predominantly Northerly but with some SEasterly, overall it had fallen to below 1ft. Catch forecast for the 3hr evening match was low.
Twenty two members fished an all ebb tide, piers, cliff marks the chosen marks with some trying local beaches until the scaurs opened out. The moon, in the first quarter, low on the horizon, had already risen. Cloud cover was very light until 21.00hrs when it started to rain/sleet, by 23.00hrs it had turned to heavy rain.
At the scales, Bernard, James & Jason were sheltering under an umbrella. A good turnout of members were gathered around, but only 9 had fish to weigh-in, predominantly whitings. Peter Horbury’s codling ‘was’ the HFish until Rich Deadman beat it by ½ oz - 1 lb 12½ oz, a reflection on how poor a night it really was for fishing.
Man of the Match James ‘Jamsy’ Moore, his first win, 10 whitings 7 lb 08 oz. Second Dave Ward also 10 whitings, 6 lb 04 oz, a bit disappointing since his PB 10 lb 01 oz cod caught on Monday Night. Dave’s cod takes the lead in the HFish ‘Out of Competition’ for the David "Sten" Stonehouse Memorial Sandsend Trophy.
Match 23 and Danny Middlemas’ run of weighing-in in every match came to an end - the last man standing - well done Danny.
Next Wednesday, the Singles Knockout Final

The calm after Storm Deirdre bitterly cold SEasterly Sandsend beach morning dog walk
Rob ‘Spragg’ Taylor
Rob 'Spragg' Taylor
High water 22.27 hrs, 4.6 metres, 1008 mbar, 5°C
Sunday morning, the calm after Storm Deirdre, gentle SEasterly wind, dry, sunny but bitterly cold. Local close to shore SEasterly swell ½ft (at best), with plenty of colour. However by match start, 18.00hrs, the weather had turned nebulous, with rain due after 21.00hrs. A flooding neap tide is not everyones favourite tide, members were spread far & wide, beaches, piers though were popular.
The all flood match, already 1¾ hrs back, however the swell was not strong enough to keep up with the fast flood. This lead to periods of calm after heavy swell sets. Fish bites were very timid, couple of tugs, then nothing, returning a few moments later. Weed was reported on many marks, gathered up in the swell as high tide approached, with one or two members weeded off, opting to call time early.
21.15hrs the weather closed in further, and hail started to fall. Unfortunately this quickly turned to heavy rain, drenching members and their kit. At the weigh station Bernard Vasey & Jason Ebison were sheltering under a large ‘golf umbrella’. Early to the scales, Man of the Match - taking his fourth win Rob Taylor 13 lb 05 oz. His best fish, a fine spragg - 9 lb 04 oz takes the lead from Brian Harland for Heaviest Fish of the season. The next best fish in the match 4 lb 07 oz Neil Eglon.
50 assorted fish from 16 of the 23 members {70%} fishing -
20 codlings, 18 w’tings, 6 fl’ders, 3 r’lings, 2 billets, and a dab.

Weigh Master Bernard Vasey brace of wins HBoFish & HFish
Bernard Vasey
Low water 19.32 hrs, 2.7 metres, 999 mbar, 4°C
For only the second time this season less than 20 members fished the 3hr match as the catch forecast was very low due to the poor conditions. Sea state was flat, save some very close to shore SEasterly swell - less than 1ft. The Southerly wind increased in strength throughout the match 17-30mph, was dry and very cold.
An ideal time for some research, and to try a different mark for the future. The near full moon added to the already poor conditions increased with the clear skies. Water clarity varied from mark to mark, some thick with colour, others were reported as crystal clear. No reports of problems with weed. Fishing the last ½hr of ebb, on a neap tide, the swell did increase once the flood took hold but too late to make any difference.
Members were very slow to return to the scales, including the Singles Knockout finalists. Fishing together, they already knew the outcome, and Brian Harland was magnanimous to Dan Middlemas who had beaten him fair & square to be named Singles Knockout Champion. Dan 3 lb 15 oz (3 codlings) - Brian 10 oz (1 whiting).
James ‘King Cod’ Gilpin, weighed-in last 3 lb 06 oz (2 codlings), making his bag ‘look’ bigger than the contents actual were. Weigh master - Man of the Match, taking both HBoFish & HFish for the first time this season Bernard Vasey 5 lb 11 oz (3), his best 2 lb 10½ oz.
Just 22 fish weighed-in 13 whitings and 9 codlings for 23 lb 05 oz the poorest weigh-in for December.
Sunday is the Members Christmas match, kindly & generously sponsored by Malc & Paula Pitman of Hook, Line & Sinker, Church Street, fishing 2pm - 7pm weigh-in closes 8pm, followed by a carvery, prize giving and hospitality in The Stakesby Arms. With 30 members entered, no one goes home without a prize.
There is a short break over Christmas & New Year, members return Wed 2nd Jan 2019. Cloughton Rocks are holding their Festive Sweepstake HBoFish match Fri 28th Dec 14.00-20.00hrs, weigh-in Red Lion, Cloughton 20.00-21.00hrs

Bitterly cold NNWesterly wind Sandsend beach
Patience triumphs for Denis
Christmas Match sponsored by
Hook, Line & Sinker, Church St. Whitby
Hook, Line & Sinker, Church St. Whitby
Denis Thompson - 5 lb 02 oz
High water 16.16 hrs, 5.7 metres, 1023 mbar, 4°C
Fishing, 14.00-19.00hrs thirty members of Whitby Sea Anglers competed for the Christmas Match Trophy and the Michael Deadman Memorial Trophy, for the Heaviest Single Fish. Conditions were far from favourable, in fact it was hard going for all. After which there was a Christmas diner carvery at The Stakesby Arms, followed by prize giving.
Fishing up and over high water, with a slight NWesterly swell 1ft, plenty of close to shore colour. The NNWesterly wind was growing in strength throughout the match, it was bitterly cold, and brought numerous short sharp rain showers. Thankfully the heavy cloud cover shielded the bright full moon.
Many members moved marks during the match trying to find the all-important weigh-in, it paid off for a number of members dropping onto piers, and beaches for whitings and flat fish once darkness had fallen. {‘No-one’ goes home without a prize in the Christmas match as the names of those who don’t weigh-in, go into a hat, all picking up a prize from the table.}
At the ‘festive’ scales, decorated in tinsel and coloured lights, suitably dressed in Christmas jumper weigh master Bernard Vasey was waiting with Dave Perrett. Early to the scales Neil Eglon, weighed 1 codling 3 lb 15 oz, he then had a long anxious wait in the hope of picking up HFish. As members returned with whitings, flounders and dabs it showed just how hard the match had been, but news filtered through that one member had a ‘good fish’.
Sure enough, ‘that’ member Denis Thompson arrived, placed his best codling on the scales 5 lb 02 oz, another codling & a rockling 7 lb 02 oz. Man of the Match, he had won the Christmas Match Trophy & the Michael Deadman Memorial Trophy for the Heaviest Single Fish. Denis reported he got the bite at the ‘top of the tide’ but when he played the fish, it was fast solid. Giving it slack line, placing his rod in the rocks he gave it time & baited up another hook as he patiently waited. On the second attempt the fish was free, and Rob Allison played ‘gillie’ for him.
Many thanks to Stacey Stevens and her staff at The Stakesby Arms for an excellent evening, and thanks also to Malcolm & Paula Pitman of Hook, Line & Sinker for sponsoring the Christmas match.

High water Sandsend beach 13.30hrs , 4.9 metres
Top ‘Rod’ Rob Taylor’s 5th win
Low water 19.46 hrs, 2.0 metres, 1044 mbar, 1°C
Happy New Year & Tight Lines for 2019 - Over the Christmas & New Year break Cloughton Rock Anglers held their Festive Sweepstake (HBoFish match) Fri 29th Dec 2018, and WSAA member Dave Turnbull, Darlington, weighed-in the Heaviest Single Fish 7 lb 15 oz - well done Davey. Members trophy Cabinet.
First match of 2019 and a high pressure over central England had been dominating the weather. Strong NNWesterly winds had whipped up a good a sea on Tuesday, by Wednesday morning the NNEasterly swells had peaked, and were falling away 7-11ft, with plenty of colour. By the evening the wind, now a gentle 7-11mph WNWesterly breeze, 1°C, overall a pleasant night to be out fishing the 3hr match.
However, the sea state was a problem, a neap tide, low water 19.46 hrs 2.0m, had been surging all day. By low water, marks had drained away, further than a 1.0m low, and consequently this lead to swell sets ‘doubling-up’. One moment you were stood on open scaur feeling the ‘tow’ on end tackle, and the next you were in waist deep water. The flood was very slow to get started, members reported low water seemed to last for an hour.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was in good form, members were slow to return, some good bags, and better fish were weighed-in. Predominantly codlings - 40 & 3 r’lings. Man of the Match, with his 5th win Rob Taylor 10 codlings 19 lb 15 oz. Rob has won more matches than any other member, nearest is Allan Beale, with 3 match wins. HFish of the night fell to Allan Beale, caught on the ebb, 5 lb 15 oz, Rob & Allan now lead in January’s Monthly Sweep.
Better fish:- 4 lb 12 oz - Dave Smith, 4 lb 08 oz - Neil Eglon, 4 lb 06½ oz - Rob Taylor, Rob Allison - 4 lb 03½ oz.
The top 3 rods, Rob, Colin & Dave weighed-in 46 lb 11 oz, just shy of 50% of the total catch.
Having worked underground, at Boulby Mine (now retired) for 26yrs. The one thing to boil your urine is head torches:-
Runswick Bay - there were 10 rods on one mark, all with their lights constantly on (LH side, mine area) #Blackpool.
1) - 1,000 lumens - why leave it on the BRIGHTEST setting?
2) - being constantly shone in your eyes as you approach someone or as they watch their rod tip & you're 500 metres away.
3) - constantly on, and scanning the waters surface like an RNLI search party - it scares the fish away.
4) - you will see more of your surroundings with natural night vision.
Results:- 43 fish - 92 lb 14 oz (Av 2 lb 03 oz)

By low water, marks had drained away, further than a 1.0m low, and consequently this lead to swell sets ‘doubling-up’. One moment you were stood on open scaur feeling the ‘tow’ on end tackle, and the next you were in waist deep water. The flood was very slow to get started, members reported low water seemed to last for an hour.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was in good form, members were slow to return, some good bags, and better fish were weighed-in. Predominantly codlings - 40 & 3 r’lings. Man of the Match, with his 5th win Rob Taylor 10 codlings 19 lb 15 oz. Rob has won more matches than any other member, nearest is Allan Beale, with 3 match wins. HFish of the night fell to Allan Beale, caught on the ebb, 5 lb 15 oz, Rob & Allan now lead in January’s Monthly Sweep.
Better fish:- 4 lb 12 oz - Dave Smith, 4 lb 08 oz - Neil Eglon, 4 lb 06½ oz - Rob Taylor, Rob Allison - 4 lb 03½ oz.
The top 3 rods, Rob, Colin & Dave weighed-in 46 lb 11 oz, just shy of 50% of the total catch.
Having worked underground, at Boulby Mine (now retired) for 26yrs. The one thing to boil your urine is head torches:-
Runswick Bay - there were 10 rods on one mark, all with their lights constantly on (LH side, mine area) #Blackpool.
1) - 1,000 lumens - why leave it on the BRIGHTEST setting?
2) - being constantly shone in your eyes as you approach someone or as they watch their rod tip & you're 500 metres away.
3) - constantly on, and scanning the waters surface like an RNLI search party - it scares the fish away.
4) - you will see more of your surroundings with natural night vision.
Results:- 43 fish - 92 lb 14 oz (Av 2 lb 03 oz)

14.00 hrs Sandsend beach
Low water 22.38 hrs, 1.4 metres, 1035 mbar, 5°C
A lull in the weather, ‘the calm before the storm’, as the high pressure moves away over Europe and a low pressure slowly moves in over Iceland. Sea state had been flat all day and continued into the evenings 4hr match with no colour. A very gentle, warm WNWesterly breeze blew in some mist and light rain mid match. Cloud cover was very thin, thankfully no moon light.
Only 13 members fished, as many had fished the Station Inn Open, making it too long a day to fish both matches but some die hards did.
Congratulations to WSAA member Rob Allison who won the Station Inn Open, a HFish match - 6 lb 02 oz picking up the £1,000 first place prize sponsored by the Station Inn.
Catch forecast for the evening match was very low, fishing an all ebb tide local beaches, piers were the venues of choice for an all-important weigh-in, whitings, flat fish and picking up a codling would be a bonus. Of the 13 fishing only 9 managed a weigh-in, which turned out to be predominantly whitings - 37, 4 billets, 4 codlings, a dab and 1 LSD for 35 lb 11 oz (Av 12oz/fish).
Mike Saunders & Dave Ward could not be separated, not even by ½ oz, both weighed-in 6 lb 09 oz sharing Man of the Match, both with their first wins of the season. HFish of the night, a codling, 1 lb 10½ oz went to Ben Laws beating Brian Harland 1 lb 08 oz LSD.
Results:- 35 lb 11 oz (Av 12 oz)

High water 17.56 hrs, 5.4 metres, 1031 mbar, 4°C
High pressure, to the west of Ireland, over the last two days and the NEast coast had been battered by strong winds and high seas. By Wednesday nights 3hr match the winds NNW had fallen away 10-15mph. The sea state NNE, likewise, now only 6-9ft was still falling away. Plenty of colour, but as with all good seas there are disadvantages, weed, was reported, leading to a move of marks mid match.
Fishing an all ebb match, already an hour back from HWater, there was some occasional surging until the ebb took hold. Swells settled into rhythmical sets with no tow. Piers and cliff marks were very popular with clubmen and pleasure anglers alike. The evening started clear and dry but soon turned inclement. The wind picked up for an hour, bringing a heavy icy rain shower, very unpleasant. Once the rain past the skies cleared, no moonlight.
At the scales, of the 24 members fishing, only 10 returned with a weigh-in (42%) 26 codlings, 3 billets and a flounder. Despite the sea state, fish were not there in numbers, and at this time of year fish move off into deeper waters to spawn, maybe answers why?
Just 2 ‘double figure bags’, Rob Allison (remarkably with his first ‘club match’ win) HBoFish 14 lb 11 oz (4) his best fish 4 lb 13 oz was beaten by Denis Thompson 5 lb 06½ oz to take HFish of the night. The best ‘other’ fish from Dave Ward 4 lb 00 oz.
Movers on the Leader Board, Rob Allison, up into 2nd spot, and Denis Thompson, up from 6th to 4th. Allan Beale joins the 100 Club. Brian Harland’s lead is a healthy 27 lb.

41 lb clear - Brian
Brian Harland
High water 20.30 hrs, 4.9 metres, 1011 mbar, 6°C
High pressure dominating, close to shore NNWesterly sea sate 3-4ft, not as big as forecasted for the evenings 4 hr match. As with the swell, the WNWesterly wind was not as strong, and mid match eased further for an hour. Both had steadily fallen away during the day. Fishing up, and over high-water, piers and cliff marks were obvious choices but the wind would be a problem. Some braved the wind to fish the open and exposed piers with good results, whilst others sought more sheltered cliff marks with less movement.
Plenty of colour in the water, and no weed problems reported. Clear starry skies, the moon, although bright in its first quarter was low on the horizon to the South. Swell sets were regular up until high water 20.30 hrs then a mad ½ hr with white water, after which they settled down. A number of members reported catching their fish on their first cast, hopeful of a good nights fishing, alas thereafter not even a bite.
Members were slow returning to the scales, only 10 of the 18 fishing having a weigh-in, predominantly codlings. Two double figure bags, the first, for Man of the Match Brian Harland, his 3rd win, 4 codlings 13 lb 15½ oz, had fish of 3 lb 08 oz & 4 lb 10 oz in his bag. Not enough for HFish of the night 4 lb 13 oz which fell to Dave Ward. The second double figure bag, from James ‘Jamsy’ Moore 5 codlings 13 lb 14 oz, having had a slow start to the season James is now playing catch-up.
On the Leader Board Brian has extended his lead to 41 lb over Rob Allison, with Colin Stainthorpe 6 lb behind him in 3rd place. From 9th to 13th places, are separated by 10 lb, too close to call with 22 matches left.
In the Sunday League Brian has a lead of 27 lb over 2nd place Denis Thompson.

11.30 hrs Sandsend beach
Second win for Jamsy
High water 23.43 hrs, 4.7 metres, 997 mbar, 2°C
Low pressure over Norway, strong NWesterly winds drawing much colder air from the North Pole for Wednesday nights 3hr match. Neap tide, fishing from 19.00 - 22.00 hrs, the flood had already 1½ hrs in. Sea state, also NWesterly 3-5ft, falling away, at times it was not strong enough to keep pace with the flood. A bright ¾ moon shone on a very clear night as the temperature dropped a frost formed.
Not many rock marks are open on a neap tide, but still an option to get out of the wind or brave it on an open pier. Those that ventured on to the piers were rewarded with whitings but the 2°C felt more like -2°C. Once weighed-in those frozen souls retired to the open fire in the Fleece, and hot soup to warm up.
“A hard night for all.” Denis Thompson said at the weigh-in, having lost a 3 lb’er first cast on the retrieval, reported fish bites were very timid despite the well coloured water. Others reported not having a bite all night, despite venturing from mark to mark.
As the catch forecast drops at this time of year, so do the numbers fishing, again below 20. Man of the Match, his second win, James Jamsy Moore. In the last 7 matches James has weighed-in 43 lb 13 oz, now 9th on the Leader Board from 15th. Heaviest Fish of the night fell to Rob Allison 3 lb 07½ oz.
Results:- 31 fish - 36 lb 06 oz (Av 1 lb 03 oz)

Double win for Rob
Low water 21.38 hrs, 1.1 metres, 1024 mbar, 3°C
Three low pressure systems dominating the weather, with the UK in the middle of the triangle. Some long distance Northerly swell with plenty of colour for Sunday evenings 4 hr match. NWesterly wind swinging further into the North was light but steadily increased during the match. The full ‘wolf moon’ made a brief appearance before the match started at 18.00 hrs. Thereafter, heavy cloud cover with light rain showers from 19.45 hrs onwards.
An all ebb match fishing right down to low water 1.1 metres, 21.38 hrs, enabled members to get to their favourite marks and fish the deep tangle beds off the open scaurs. There was enough strength in the sea state to overcome the fast ebbing tide.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was ready for the 18 members fishing to return but only 12 weighed-in, predominantly fresh run codlings. 22 assorted fish 41 lb 10 oz - 15 codlings, 4 r’lings, 2 bleggs, 1 whiting. Man of the match Rob Allison, his second win, took both HBoFish & HFish 7 lb 08 oz (2) and 4 lb 10 oz (5th HF win). Next best fish 4 lb 03½ oz from Niki-Lee McCourt caught mid match.
On the Leader Board Brian Harland maintains a healthy lead,
37 lb 11 oz over Rob Allison. Brian also leads in the first season of the new Sunday League, 28 lb 08 oz lead over Denis Thompson. Rob Allison & Dave Hambley are tied for best aggregate fish 2 lb 06 oz. To qualify for the Best Aggregate Trophy, this season being a 52 match season, 40 matches must have been fished.
Members are reminded to text-in if they are not fishing a match and again if not coming back to the weigh-in.

15.15 hrs Sandsend beach, afternoon dog walk with Aussie
Double win for Bernard
Bernard Vasey
High water 17.33 hrs, 5.9 metres, 1007 mbar, -1°C
Low pressure continues to dominate the weather, very little cloud cover and bright days. Come match start 19.00hrs, the temp had already fallen to -1°C with clear skies. At 19.45 hrs a very bright orange, near full moon rose in the east. Sea state slight NNWesterly close to shore swell sets with plenty of colour. WSWesterly breeze 7 mph was very cold, and by match end the temp had fallen to -3°C with a heavy frost forming.
An all ebb match on the biggest tide of the month, low water midnight 0.6 metres. Already 1½ hrs back the tide flew out, and members were soon on the open scaurs getting close to their favourite low water marks. For the first 2hrs the swell was strong enough to overcome the ebb but thereafter died away to the occasional swell sets. Fish bites were very timid, almost playful ‘like a cat with a mouse’, one member commented.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was, for good reason, feeling anxious waiting for the scales to close. He had weighed-in one codling for 5 lb 06 oz, and eventually won both HFish & HBoFish for Man of the Match, the second time this season. Caught mid match on fresh lug worm, fresh mussel & a hermit crab cocktail, reported he’d had one other bite, but missed it. Bernard now leads for the ‘James Jamsy Moore Dedicated Official Trophy’.
Next best fish was from Dan Middlemas 3 lb 08 oz. No reports of weed problems, the weigh-in was predominantly codlings. With the frosts, the whitings are now showing on the sand, hence beaches and piers were popular marks. Of the 21 fishing, only 12 managed a weigh-in [67%], 15 codlings, 10 whitings, and 2 rocklings.
Just two matches left for January, in February members compete in The Bell Trophy, an Inter Club Tournament & the Secretary’s Challenge Trophy, WSAA - V - Cloughton Rock Anglers.
Results:- 27 fish - 39 lb 09 oz (Av 1 lb 07 oz)

Steadily growing sea state
Absolutely horrendous
High water 20.53 hrs, 5.3 metres, 990 mbar, 1°C
Yet another low pressure system dominating the weather, this time centred in the North Sea, brought gale force winds to the north east coastline. Creating a Northerly sea state, which had increased to 12-20ft with the afternoon flood. Fishing up & over HWater the sea state would be at its strongest, and finding a fishable mark would not be easy, let alone a sheltered one.
The temperature had already fallen to 1°C by match start, so the heavy rainfall was not welcome and added to the already unfavourable conditions. With so few marks fishable many members ended up at the same marks. Pleasure anglers were few, but those (witnessed) that did fish were totally unprepared, and had no grip wired leads.
Sea state was constant with little to no surging but with such a massive-sea, weed was going to be a problem (mainly bladder rack), and once on your line, holding bottom was impossible. Because of this, it later transpired that many members had thrown the towel in within the first hour or so and gone home. Come 21.30hrs the sea state eased, unlike the rain, for the ebb, and typically with match fishing the fish started to bite with a ½hr of the match left.
Weigh master Bernard Vasey, opted, like many, to stay at ‘sofa hole’, had only ventured out to set-up the scales in a sheltered part of the car park. Of the 15 members fishing only 4 had fish [27%] - just 5 codlings for the grand weigh-in 8 lb 01 oz, the poorest, but memorable, weigh-in this season.
Man of the Match Dan Middlemas, his second win managed 2 codlings, his second fish landed at 21.55hrs. HFish of the night 2 lb 02 oz fell to James ‘King Cod’ Gilpin, who admitted it was a ‘Larry lay-on’ and had had no bite detection whatsoever due to the wind. Davey Turnbull reported he was sure he saw a sheep roll past him like tumble weed as he crawled back to his car. Further to that two members texted in wanting a Rule change - to allow weed to be weighed-in!!
Last Sunday match of January and Brian Harland still tops the Sunday League table 47 fish - 94 lb 00 oz.
Results:- 8 lb 01 oz (Av 1 lb 10 oz)
Yet another low pressure system dominating the weather, this time centred in the North Sea, brought gale force winds to the north east coastline.

1st Heaviest Fish win Jason Ebison
Low water 18.12 hrs, 2.3 metres, 995 mbar, -2°C
Low pressure still dominates, a cold weather front has moved across the UK mainland bringing a cold snap with some heavy snow fall. No snow on the NEast coastline but a bitterly cold Westerly wind has seen temperatures below zero. With the wind chill, baiting up was painful on the finger tips. The sea state of late had dropped right off to 1-2ft, at best, long distance Northerly swell with colour. Catch forecast for the 3hr evening match was low.
Fishing started an hour after LWater on a neap tide, piers, beaches, and some cliff marks were fished by the 18 members. Fishing was, as expected, very slow - but a weigh-in is a weigh-in on a scratching match. Fish bites were timid, probably from undersized fish, although Rich Deadman did land, what he thought was a codling bite, a whole lobster (& not just the claw, as is the norm).
At the scales, no time was wasted, members keen to get into the warm. Hot soup & crusty bread was waiting in the Fleece, kindly supplied by Carla Smith, landlady. Bernard Vasey oversaw proceedings weighing-in 27 fish, predominantly whitings, with only 5 codlings caught. Man of the Match Paul Short, his second win weighed 8 whitings 5 lb 11 oz. Surprise of the night, and well done Jason Ebison HFish 2 lb 10 oz was more than happy, his first HF win, reporting he had lost a ‘bigger fish’.
Top tips:-
1) - You have to be in it, to win it (both - matches & sweeps).
2) - Judge the weather conditions & leave plenty of time to reach the weigh-in with ‘your’ fish.
January:- 255 fish were weighed-in - 401 lb 05 oz - Av 1 lb 09 oz
143 cod, 89 whitings, 9 rocklings, 7 billets, 3 poutings, 3 flat fish, & 1 LSD
Month ending:-
Brian Harland can claim January - 40 lb 12 oz - 24 assorted fish
Monthly Sweeps:-
HBoFish - Rob Taylor - Wed 2nd - 19 lb 15 oz (10)
HFish - Denis Thompson - Wed 9th - 5 lb 06½ oz
(Denis won by default as Allan Beale wasn’t entered)
Members note:-
Parking restrictions, 1st February are started to come into force, in some coastal villages, with the majority i.e. parking meters 1st March but with Church St car park closed, and soon Endeavour Wharf will be taken over by contractors, parking in the town centre is only going to get harder.
Results:- 17 fish - 26 lb 01 oz (Av 15 oz)

Long distance Northerly swell Sandsend beach13.30 hrs
Colin Stainthorpe 2 lb 00 oz
Low water 21.49 hrs, 1.5 metres, 1005 mbar, 5°C
Sunday night’s 4hr evening match was definitely a scratching match. Throughout Sunday the cold SWesterly wind had increased in strength, gusting 35mph. Coupled with an ebbing tide, the slight 1-2ft long distance Northerly swell had been knocked right back, by 18.00 hrs, flat. Colour varied from mark to mark but recent seas had deposited large banks of weed on the HWater shoreline.
Heavy cloud cover, what rain had been forecasted had already fallen in the late afternoon, thankfully. Beaches and piers were very popular for whitings with very mixed results, judging by the previous evenings catch reports, some trying the LWater rock marks in the hope of picking up a codling. Many reported not having a bite all night, in fact more than one or two members retired mid match to ‘Sofa-Hole’. February can always be a very lean month. As members chased a fast ebbing tide they became more exposed to the strong gusting winds, hampering casting and ‘bite detection’.
At the scales members were slow to return, of the 21 fishing only 10 [48%] had a meagre weigh-in, a mixed bag - 6 whitings, 4 codlings, 3 rocklings and a pouting - 12 lb 14 oz [just 4 lb more than the worst weigh-in Sun 27th Jan] giving a 15 oz average.
Man of the Match, with both HBoFish & HFish Ben Laws, a single codling 2 lb 04½, giving Ben his 3rd HBoFish win & 5th HFish win. Brian Harland became the first member to weigh-in 100 fish - 70 codlings, 15 whitings, 7 billets, 3 rocklings,
1 pollock, and a lesser spotted dog fish.
Names for Sunday’s Bell Trophy, fishing 10.00 - 14.00 hrs - no evening match, will be taken on Wednesday night.
Dave Perrett has asked that all members please return their CLEAN & POLISHED trophies for engraving please.
Members are again reminded to text-in if they are not coming back to the weigh-in.
Results:- 12 lb 14 oz (Av 15 oz)

Low water walk with Aussie Sandsend beach
Allison Monthly Sweep leader
Rob Allison 4 lb 02 oz
High water 17.05 hrs, 5.5 metres, 1005 mbar, 5°C
February and getting noticeably lighter on an evening. Low pressure, déjà vu, off Stornoway brought Southerly winds, increasing, gusting to 25mph. Sea state was flat, bar some close to shore SEasterly swell on south facing rocky foreshores. The 3hr match started 2 hours after HWater, scratching for a weigh-in. Wispy high level cloud cover was soon replaced with low level rain clouds, which held off until the early hours.
Piers and beaches were popular, with some risking all, for a codling, off the rocks. Just 16 members fishing but nonetheless places can be made up on these quiet nights. Water was well coloured but the codlings, never mind rocklings, just weren’t there. First bite of the night, as for others did not come until the last hour.
At the scales, members remembered ‘heaviest fish first’. James Moore was first to weigh-in, a cracking whiting of 1 lb 03 oz, shortly after beaten by Dave Ward 1 lb 09 oz from their bags. The WSAA Record whiting is 1 lb 12 oz caught by Colin Stainthorpe 19th February 2014.
Man of the Match Allan Beale 10 whitings 7 lb 01 oz, his 4th win. HFish of the night fell to Rob Allison, 4 lb 02 oz, his 6th HFish win. Just 9 weighed-in 36 whitings, 5 flat fish & 4 codlings - Total 45, Av/fish just 14 oz.
Rob now leads the HFish Monthly Sweep from Ben Laws, and Dave Ward leads HBoFish 5 lb 13 oz (8) as Allan Beale wasn’t entered, but is from Sunday 10th Feb. Many thanks to Dan Middlemas for raising WSAA funds with a ‘football scratch card’ after every match. If someone else apart from Brain Harland could win, it would be appreciated!
Many thanks to Fleece landlady, Carla Smith for the hot soups & bread on a Wednesday night, much appreciated.
Sunday is the Inter-Club-Tournament nee The Bell Trophy, WSAA are defending last year’s win.
Members ‘must’ meet at The Oasis Café, 08.30hrs for registration.
£10 / member, ‘all in, all out’ match, fishing 10.00 - 14.00hrs. After the Bell Match £3 entry is taken, the £7 is pooled, and split 50/50 for HF & HBoF. Boundaries Argyle Gulley, Hayburn Wyke to Coble Landing, Filey. Weigh-in Scarborough Rocks Social Club.
Results:- 45 fish - 39 lb 07 oz (Av 14 oz)
February and getting noticeably lighter on an evening. Low pressure, déjà vu, off Stornoway brought Southerly winds, increasing, gusting to 25mph. Sea state was flat, bar some close to shore SEasterly swell on south facing rocky foreshores. The 3hr match started 2 hours after HWater, scratching for a weigh-in. Wispy high level cloud cover was soon replaced with low level rain clouds, which held off until the early hours.
Piers and beaches were popular, with some risking all, for a codling, off the rocks. Just 16 members fishing but nonetheless places can be made up on these quiet nights. Water was well coloured but the codlings, never mind rocklings, just weren’t there. First bite of the night, as for others did not come until the last hour.

Flat calm 08.35 hrs Marine Drive, Scarborough
Scalby Mills victorious
Low water 13.08 hrs hrs, 1.7 metres, 1000 mbar, 4°C
Inter-Club-Tournament nee The Bell Trophy
This match is fished every year, WSAA as last years winners picked the date, now in its 94th year, Sunday 10.00-14.00hrs. Organised by Scarborough Rock Anglers the event is by invitation-only to local angling clubs to compete for the Sana bell. Seventy three anglers representing Filey Brigg, Scalby Mills, Cloughton Rock Anglers, Scarborough Rocks & South Cliff and Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. formed 7 teams of 8 or more anglers.
Anglers met at the Oasis Café, Marine Drive Scarborough for registration, a hot drink and some breakfast. Shortly after 9am all clubs had submitted their teams, and paid their dues. Anglers were then gathered together for the ringing of the bell, after a brief introduction, and a reminder rocklings were 25cms, as Secretary Peter Atkinson thought anglers ‘would’ need to know, anglers were sent on their way.
Low pressure, Storm Erik was passing over the Norwegian Sea, heading east. Sea state was flat calm, save some close to shore NNWesterly swell 1ft but building with the following NWesterly wind 15-20mph. A bright clear day, but chilly if not sheltered from the wind. Plenty of colour in the water. Fishing right down and over low water anglers headed to their favourite marks fishing the kelp beds and deep water tidal marks beyond the scaurs. It was to be a slow day for all.
At the scales Peter Atkinson and George Dunn were not exactly rushed off their feet as only 18 of the 73 returned with 28 fish.
The winner of the Sana bell is the team with the best aggregate weight. This years winners, and congratulations, Scalby Mills, only their second win, an aggregate of 1 lb 08 oz 03 drms. Individual clubs had organised their own HBoFish & HFish sweeps for the match, the bell and all the individual winnings were presented by George Dunn.
Many thanks to Scarborough Rocks Social Club for their hospitality and the refreshments laid on for all anglers.
Whitby Sea Anglers Assoc. were defending last year’s win, with 18 members fishing, two teams were entered. Denis ‘nasher’ Thompson had the HBoFish, 2 codlings 2 lb 10 oz, and Peter Horbury landed the HFish 2 lb 00 oz - both received £62 in the WSAA sweeps.
Overall, the HSFish 4 lb 13 oz 02 drms by Andy Collin, and the HBoFish Mark Thomas 5 lb 12 oz 00 drms.
Results:- 7 lb 04 oz (Av 1 lb 03 oz)

Moore 'Jamsy' honours
James 'Jamsy' Moore
High water 21.42 hrs, 4.7 metres, 1028 mbar, 4°C
High pressure over Spain, SSWesterly winds 15, gusting 30mph had a definite chill to it despite the mild daytime temperatures. A dark night, the moon was shielded by low level cloud which did not break all night. Sea state, well coloured, was best described as flat but there was occasionally some long distance NNEsterly swell sets which were more dominant after 20.00hrs as HWater neared. About a foot in height, they did not turn until reaching the shoreline.
Neap tide, a 3hr scratching match, piers and beaches were the marks of choice. Or throw caution to the wind and try somewhere new on the off chance of picking up a better fish. The conditions were reflected as only 16 members were fishing, of whom only 10 had fish to weigh-in. Members reported plenty of undersized whitings and billets nee bait robbers returned.
Predominantly whitings at the weigh-in, Dan Middlemas weighed two for 10 oz (almost transparent), the same weight as Denis Thompson had for one rockling. Both honours, and Man of the match to James ‘Jamsy’ Moore. 3 lb 03½ oz, his best, a codling, and a whiting for a bag of 3 lb 13 oz. His 3rd HBoFish win and 1st HFish.
The season’s average fish weight has dropped by an ounce as the whiting count increases (289). Paul Short has now taken the Fish-Count lead, 104 fish from Brian Harland 103 fish. Rob Allison has the best Av. Fish - 2 lb 07 oz. Species Count - Four members are joint, with 7 different species caught - Brian Harland, Dave Ward, Mike Saunders and Allan Beale with just 13 matches until season closes.
Results:- 23 fish - 18 lb 08 oz (Av 13 oz)

Not a spare parking space on Sandsend strait this afternoon, beach was packed.
Low water 20.33 hrs, 1.4 metres, 1010 mbar, 7°C
Yet another low pressure, this time moving in from the SWest of Iceland. Strengthening SWesterly winds 15-30mph made some SEasterly swell, increasing on South facing rocky foreshores. The first 2½hrs of Sunday night’s 4hr match was all ebb. The increasing swell was strong enough to overcome the fast ebbing tide, although there were some periods of ‘calm’. Come LWater the swells started to significantly increase, although now too late to make any difference to the very low catch forecast.
It did not help, the near full moon shone brightly through some thin high altitude cloud. But, as the night progressed this too blew over. There was some colour in the water but listening to reports, this varied greatly from mark to mark. Chasing the tide out onto the open scaurs, exposed members to the strong wind, dragging end tackle into the snags as they fished the heavy ground, and thick kelp beds exposed at LWater.
Numbers fishing were well down due a) the poor conditions, and b) members fishing the Euros at Tunstall. Some ‘die hards’ still managed to fish the club match as they returned home from said Euros. On Saturday Allan Beale had picked up a second place prize in his ‘zone’ during the Euros.
At the scales, only 9 of the 14 members managed a very meagre weigh-in, 6 codlings, 3 r’lings, 2 flounders and 1 dab - 12 fish
12 lb 08 oz, the 3rd worst weigh-in to date.
Man of the Match, Rob Allison had both the HBoFish & HFish, 3rd win & 7th win HFish. His bag 3 lb 08 oz and HFish 2 lb 04 oz.
Next Sunday is the Secretary’s Challenge Trophy match, WSAA take on Cloughton Rocks fishing 10.00 - 16.00hrs, weigh-in at the Red Lion, Cloughton.
Top tip:- Remember to pack your ‘fishing rod’ in the car when going ‘fishing’.
Results:- 12 lb 08 oz (Av 1 lb 01 oz)

High water 16.32 hrs, 5.92 metres, 1017 mbar, 8°C
High pressure over central Europe, strong SSWesterly winds 17-30mph. Sea state was growing, and combined two different swell directions Northerly & SSEasterly. The resulting swell was heavy, which, when combined came in sets of 5/7 waves of up to 5ft. Creating much white water, making south facing marks unfishable. After an inrush, the swells died off, until the next set arrived.
Members started fishing the 3hr match 2½hrs into the ebb, on one of the larger tides of the month {giving a rise/fall 5½ metres}. LWater 23.02 hrs, 0.4 metres the tide was ebbing very fast, the strong swell sets eventually started to settle down around 21.00hrs. Water was thick with colour, but the fish were not on the rock, instead feeding on the sand, and the bait of choice fresh lug worm.
Overhead the cloud was thin, but thick on the horizon, the Snow Moon made a very bright appearance at 19.45hrs. The high altitude cloud did not move all night, a large swirl of cloud flowing into a central spot #WaterDownAPlugHole. Once the moon was behind it, there was a multitude of colours, can assume its light was refracted off ice crystals. By 22.00hrs the wind speed had dropped, but too late to aid the anglers. Personally did not have a bite all night despite covering a lot of ground.
At the scales members were slow to return, of the 16 fishing, 11 had a weigh-in, predominantly fresh run codlings. A very ‘popular’, with much praise, Man of the Match Danny Middlemas 14 lb 00½ oz - 7 codlings, the Heaviest 4 lb 08 oz. Both weights now lead in the Monthly Sweeps.
No night match on Sunday as members travel to the Red Lion, Cloughton to compete in the Secretary’s Challenge Trophy. WSAA - V - Cloughton Rock Anglers.
Results:- 29 fish - 50 lb 01 oz (Av 1 lb 12 oz)

Whitby Sea Anglers retain Secretary’s Challenge Trophy
Mark Stonehouse, Cloughton Rocks Secretary presents the Secretary's Challenge Trophy 'back' to Peter Horbury
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

First 'wins' Peter
Peter Horbury
High water 22.34 hrs, 4.6 metres, 1020 mbar, 8°C
February draws to an end, flat calm sea state, no colour, as the high pressure continues to dominate with some ‘well out of season’ weather. Last year, the Beast from the East, this year, sunshine and temperatures in the late teens. A scratching match for the 18 members fishing.
A steady Westerly breeze, on a cloudless night soon turned very cold by match end 22.00hrs. There was a slight long distance Northerly ‘lump’, but nothing to get excited about. Fishing started 3hrs into the flood, on a neap tide, the catch forecast was very low. Beaches, and piers for whitings, flat fish and possibly an odd codling off the sand.
Of the 18 fishing, only 10 [56%] managed an assorted weigh-in comprising 6 whitings, 5 codlings, 2 billets, 2 rocklings, 1 flounder, 1 dab, and an LSD. Of note, the flounder, 1 lb 12 oz, was landed by Dave Ward. Man of the Man of the Match, with his first ‘wins’ Peter Horbury, HFish a codling 3 lb 11½ oz, HBoFish 5 lb 07 oz (3) a codling, a billet and a rockling. Peter used a simple two, 5/0 Sakuma hook rig, top hook peeler crab & mussel, bottom hook fresh lug worm tipped with ‘dirty’ squid. Both the codling & billet took the fresh worm.
February belongs to Dan Middlemas, a total weigh-in 19 lb 13 oz (14), close behind James Moore & Colin Stainthorpe 18 lb 08 oz (17) & 18 lb 01 oz (9) respectively. Dan also picked up the Monthly Sweeps.

13.30hrs Sandsend beach
Storm Freya first win for Dave
Low water 20.52 hrs, 1.7 metres, 978 mbar, 7°C
Storm Freya [very close isobars] low pressure, brought very strong SSWesterly wind, gusts in excess of 40mph. Finding a sheltered spot for the evenings 4hr match would not be easy. Sea state was flat calm except for some Southerly facing marks, where there was some close to shore swell, however then you were facing the full force of the wind.
The match started in heavy rain, uncomfortable to say the least. Rods, bags and tripods had to be carefully located or held onto at all times. Around 20.00hrs there was a brief lull as the wind shifted, but came back even stronger. Fish bites were undetectable, and a ‘Larry lay-on’ was all one could hope for when sticking to a 15/20minunte per cast.
Denis Thompson reported missing a bite, a ’really good fish’, he reported, early in the match, but it did not return. Fresh lug worm was doing the trick again for me, but for micro cod, all returned! With so much wind assisted drag on the lines a grip lead was advisable to stop end tackle being dragged into more snags than necessary.
Of the 15 members fishing just 3 had fish to weigh-in [20%], 4 codlings and 2 rocklings - 8 lb 07 oz. Weigh master Bernard Vasey wasn’t exactly rushed. Man of the Match, with his first win Dave Perrett 2 codlings, 2 rocklings 3 lb 11 oz. HFish 2 lb 07 oz Brian Harland his 2nd win. Brian has now passed the 200 lb mark, in a club of his own with Rob Allison trailing by 42 lb.
Richard Deadman and myself had been fishing in fishable ‘blustery’ conditions but did not realise just how the strong the wind had grown until we rounded the point to walk back up the coastal cliff path to the car park. It was a case of ‘two steps forward, one back’. At one point Rich was blown clean over on to the scaur. Once on the coastal cliff path we could not stand up, and resorted to crawling, hands and knees. #Memorable
Just 8 matches left until close of season, and members should consider their vote for Most Improved Angler.
Results:- 8 lb 07 oz (Av 1 lb 07 oz)

15.00 hrs Sandsend beach , an hour before HWater 5.4 metres
Rob clears 10 lb 04 oz off 42 lb deficit
Neil Eglon - 2nd HFish of the night - 4 lb 14½ oz
Low water 22.33 hrs, 1.2 metres, 980 mbar, 8°C
Another low pressure system had moved across the Atlantic, centred over Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Isobars were not tightly packed, giving warm Southerly winds 15mph on the NEast coastline. Early evening rain soon past, heavy cloud cover pushed through to a clear sky 21.00hrs. Sea state, a welcome NNEasterly 2-3ft with plenty of colour.
The tide was already 2¾hrs into the ebb, so members could work their way down the scaurs. The tide ebbed fast, knocking back some of the HWater swell. There was some weed, mainly bladder-rack in the surf, drop you line, and you had your hands full retrieving end tackle [and fish].
Fish bites were extremely timid, and once hooked the smaller fish tended not to bite again. Larry lay-ons were most welcome on retrieval. No one bait out fished the other, fish took peeler & mussel cocktail, and fresh worm. Plenty of micro cod, nee bait robbers, which is normal for this time of year.
At the scales Bernard & Jason oversaw proceedings, only 9 of the 20 fishing [45%] had fish. Sixteen codlings and a rockling
35 lb 10 oz giving a 2 lb 02 oz average. Those without fish text-in and returned straight home rather than travel to the scales & back again.
Davey Turnbull, Darlington, decided to stay out fishing, rather than return to the scales saying “It was perfect, I wanted to fish a certain mark, and pull out a piggy”. Thinking everyone else would have a ‘bag full’, had 4 codlings for 7 lb 08 oz by 22.00hrs. Missed out on second place and fulfilling a dream to have his photo taken outside the Fleece ☺ ☺
Man of the Match Rob Allison (3) 10 lb 04 oz took both HBoFish [his 4th] and HFish [his 8th] 5 lb 03 oz. Both weights now lead in the Monthly Sweep. Having weighed-in Rob, feeling unwell, returned home.
Leaving it until the dying minutes having travelled, Neil Eglon made the scales, and weighed-in the next best fish, a fresh run codling 4 lb 14½ oz.
Just 7 matches left until close of season.
Results:- 17 fish - 35 lb 10 oz (Av 2 lb 02 oz)

High water 18.15 hrs, 5.4 metres, 1008 mbar, 1°C
Storm Gareth, another low pressure system, this time centred over Northern Scotland and Shetland. Very strong Westerly winds 25mph, gusting 40mph. Sea state, plenty of colour from recent rainfall, NNWesterly 3-5ft.
Twenty members fished the 4hr evening match which started just before HWater. The match started in daylight, and was not properly dark until 19.00hrs. The heavy cloud cover blew over to reveal clear skies, however it soon closed in again just after 19.00hrs and snowed heavily for just under an hour. With the temperature just above zero the wind chill made for a very cold night for those fishing the piers and un-sheltered marks.
With the strong Westerly winds, finding a sheltered mark would not be easy, those that did not were hampered with bowed lines, wind drag, leading to heavy tackle loses, and casting issues.
Bernard Vasey, weigh master was doing his best to shield the scales with an umbrella from the wind, as Jason Ebison oversaw the weigh-in. Just 9 weighed-in 45%. Early to the scales Paul Short, 7 codlings 12 lb 07½ oz. Davey Turnbull 3 lb 08 oz (1), unaware he had weighed-in the HFish (at that time) gave his fish away, it was gutted by Danny Middlemas before he realised he missed yet another photo opportunity.
The penultimate angler to the scales (of course Dave Perrett was last) James ‘Jamsy’ Moore took both HBoFish [his 4th] and HFish [his 2nd] weighing-in 5 codlings 13 lb 09 oz, his best 4 lb 04½ oz. James now leads in the Monthly Sweep for HBoFish, Rob Alison HFish 5 lb 03 oz.
Big movements on the Leader Board - both Paul Short, and James Moore have moved up 3 places. Paul Short now 3rd [from 5th] and James Moore now 7th [from 10th]. Other movers - Davey Turnbull up to 21st, he may now regret Wednesday decision not to return to the scales with 7 lb+ of fish, and Richard Deadman up to 16th.
Results:- 41 lb 06 oz (Av 2 lb 03 oz)

9th Heaviest Fish win Rob Allison
Rob Allison HFish 4 lb 04½ oz
High water 20.15 hrs, 4.9 metres, 1003 mbar, 6°C
Storm Gareth slowly moving east across the North Sea, very close isobars, wind gusting to 30+mph. Grey sky, no brakes in the cloud cover whatsoever, and a very mild night to boot with the occasional light rain shower. Sea state was not a large as predicted maybe 4-5ft tops NNWesterly. Swells were regular, no surging during the flood and no tow on the ebb for the 20 members fishing 1¼ up & 1¾ hrs down. Plenty of colour, no weed problems reported. The wind did ease mid match but came back by 22.00hrs.
Fish bites, ‘if’ you were lucky enough to have one, were timid, probably from undersized codlings, as many were caught & returned. Rob Taylor thought he was in for a good 3hrs fishing. A 3 lb 03 oz codling in the bag 10 mins into the match, and we all know what ‘thought’ did, he did not have another bite all night.
At the scales Bernard & Jason, both fishless (join the club) were ready for the 13 fortunate members [65%] to weigh-in. Man of the Match Ben Laws 5 lb 10 oz, his 4th HBoFish win had a 3 lb 08 oz fish in his bag of 2 codlings. This fish was soon beaten by Norman Middlemas 3 lb 09 oz. Only this too was bettered by Rob Allison 4 lb 04½ oz for his 9th HFish win.
Dave Ward is the latest to join the 100 lb Club [top 13 anglers].
Dan Middlemas is ‘Mr Consistent’ weighing-in 41 times from 46 matches, with Brian Harland 40 weigh-ins also from 46 matches.
Voting slips are now available for members to propose ‘Most Improved Angler’. Treasurer Dave Perrett has Presentation evening menus with member’s individual subsidies, full payment is due by the last match Sun 31st March.
James Gilpin has finalised the Summer Match dates, all with Penn Points, details on web site.

Brian Harland - 11 lb 10 oz (4)
Low water 19.16 hrs, 1.7 metres, 1011 mbar, 4°C
A bright sunny, but cold windy day, another low pressure system brought very strong winds, its centre slowly moving over towards Norway. NNWesterly winds 17-30 mph, NNWesterly sea state 5-8ft with plenty of colour. 17.00hrs and it turned very dark in Whitby, a menacing weather front past through, brought torrential rain as the 20 members headed out to their chosen marks. By 18.00hrs the skies had cleared, and the sun was back out prior to a colourful sunset.
Fishing from 18.00 - 22.00hrs it did not get dark until 19.00hrs, not long now until BST. Cloud cover was minimal [high altitude & passing through very fast] but a very bright ¾ moon was high in the sky. There was some surging, and a strong tow for the last 1½hrs of the ebb. Once reached, the flood was very slow to start pushing, when it did the swells momentum had eased, and did show any impetus until after 21.30hrs.
Low water & a neap tide, not everyones preferred conditions, gullies and tangle beds well out of reach. It was hard work, moving 50 yds, having a cast and moving again trying to find where the fish were feeding. Undersized codlings, nee bait robbers [all returned] a good sign for the future were a hindrance. Plastic bags and freshly cut grass [of all things] hindered lines and end tackle.
Weigh-master Bernard Vasey, in fine fettle, despite being fishless #again oversaw the 8 members weighing-in, 13 codlings, and a billet for 30 lb 06 oz. No surprise with the Man of the Match - Brian Harland, having a superfluous season HBoFish [his 3rd] 11 lb 10 oz (4) Inc. HFish [his 4th] 4 lb 02 oz pipped his partner Dan Middlemas by ½ oz to the cash [and he won the scratch card again!!]. This season they have been the ‘dynamic duo’. #Batman #Robin #BatCave
In the ‘Sunday League’ Brian [55 fish] has recently passed the 100 lb mark, and is 35 lb ahead of Dan [also 55 fish].

Low water 21.58 hrs, 0.5 metres, 1030 mbar, 12°C
Penultimate Wednesday night match, a complete turnaround, high pressure dominating, glorious sunshine, blue skies, and 12°C on the coast - 17°C inland. The spring equinox, daylight hours equal to darkness, daylight hours start to get longer now. WSWesterly wind 13 gusting 23mph, sea state NNEasterly 1ft, if that [flat calm] with little to no colour.
The sun was setting as members prepared to cast in. The full moon was already high in the sky with only wispy high altitude cloud cover giving a circular rainbow to the moonlight. Although the clouds were passing overhead out to sea, the wind was multi-directional. One minute on ones left shoulder, then the right, with periods when there was no wind at all!
The night before the biggest tide of the month, add in the high pressure and the tide ebbed very fast, and as members reported “a long way”. Bernard Vasey reported crossing one mark, which in all his years fishing, he had never seen empty (stopped & collected 11 leads). Members were able to easily reach, and in good time their favourite LWater marks, fishing the heavy ground and tangle beds.
Again fishless, weigh-master Bernard Vasey was ready and waiting for members to return to the scales. Some pushing it to the last 5 mins, having travelled / or had a long walk across the open scaurs. Of the 19 members fishing only 8 [42%] had fish to weigh-in. 6 codlings, 6 LSD*, and a blegg - 21 lb 01 oz. The best LSD* was caught by Danny Middlemas 2 lb 04 oz. Paul Short has now caught 9 species, adding a blegg & an LSD to his catch. James Moore is on 8 species. * LSD - Lesser Spotted Dogfish
Man of the Match James ‘Jamsy’ Moore [his 5th win] 3 LSD, his best 1 lb 11 oz was easily beaten by Rich ‘Deadly Fish’ Deadman 3 lb 04½ oz [his 2nd win]. His fish did not come easy. He had been whinging at not having had a bite when his rod was nearly pulled out of his hand just before 21.00hrs. It was snagged, ‘with guidance’ he gave it plenty of slack line {4 times} until it eventually pulled itself free. It may of taken 10mins to retrieve, but worth it #Patience.
Just 3 matches left to close of season, no movement on the Leader Board. Menu choices & payment due by Sunday 31st.

Rob Allison
High water 18.22 hrs, 5.8 metres, 1026 mbar, 4°C
Penultimate Sunday match of the season, high pressure to the west of the UK. Very strong, cold WNWesterly winds 21 gusting 35 mph, far from ideal on the NEast coastline. The mornings swell was enjoyed by surfers but by the evening it had all but gone, knocked back by the wind. By evening there was only a slight multi-directional lift, WNWesterly & Northerly with plenty of colour. Finding a sheltered mark for the 4hr match was not going to be easy. At match start, 18.00hrs it was not quite HWater, and more so for those that travelled south to fish the tidal marks.
Darkness fell shortly after 19.00hrs, and then a dark menacing weather front was blown in, bringing some light showers. By 21.00hrs this too had blown over leaving a cloudless sky. Fishing was slow, very slow despite fresh lug & mussel on offer, bites were non-existent for some while others were constantly pestered by undersized fish. Beside the wind, other hazards were strings of pot lines close to shore, too close. End tackle and fish were lost on these ropes, very frustrating.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was ready, but numbers returning were very low, only the die hards left. Some have already put their gear away, and looking forward to summer fishing. Jason Ebison did his best to shield the scales from the wind for the 4 members weighing-in 5 fish - 11 lb 06 oz not quite the worst weigh-in - 3 codlings, 2 whitings. Last to the scales, with the biggest smile, Rob Allison, as he slid a 6 lb cod in the weigh pan. An excellent fish on such a poor night. Giving Rob his 10th HFish win and 5th Match win. This fish now leads in the Monthly Sweep, just replacing the one Rob caught earlier in the month.
Of concern some members are not returning to the scales, nor texting-in to say ‘they are fishing’, and more importantly to say ‘they are safe & well at home’ at match end. Messages given to others are also not being relayed, as they too have gone home. By not returning to the weigh-in they have not checked their match entries, consequently some have fished, but were not entered, as last night. Any potential weigh-in would not have counted. At this stage of the season members should be well versed in the rules. This is a topic to be discussed at the AGM with a penalty scheme being suggested.
Results:- 11 lb 06 oz (Av 2 lb 04 oz)

08.10hrs Sandsend beach
Short ‘Double Win’ Paul
High water 20.46 hrs, 4.7 metres, 1035 mbar, 6°C
Whitby Sea Anglers Association 2018 - 2019 Season, drawing to a close, ‘the penultimate’ match. Wednesday night 3hrs fishing up & over HWater. Conditions, a chilly WNWesterly breeze less than 10mph, heavy, low cloud cover, almost a mist. Sea state 2-3ft Northerly swell with colour, swell sets were long distance, regular without any surging nor tow.
Far from a favourite tide, piers, beaches and cliff marks, just going through the motions in the hope of picking up a fish, fishing tidal marks. At this time of year it is getting harder and harder, predicting where fish could be feeding is a Lotto. You pay your money and takes your chance. (That is of course ‘IF’ you have paid to enter!!)
Aided by the heavy cloud cover it was dark by 19.00hrs, match start. Some members reported being plagued by small fish while others did not have a bite all night. Others picked up a fish first catch, and watched (or held) a motionless rod for the rest of the night, despite fresh baits, mussel & lug worm being offered. Small fish were biting like a 3 lb’er, one good pull, and nothing else.
At the scales Bernard Vasey was ebullient, it was either something in the water, or like many others the end of the season is clearly in sight. Members were very slow to the scales, just 8 of the 16 fishing managed a meagre weigh-in of 10 assorted fish 14 lb 14 oz, 7 codlings, an LSD, and a rockling giving a 1 lb 08 oz average.
Paul Short admitted to leaving it late in the season to find the codlings, took both HBoFish [his 5th win] 3 lb 01½ oz and HFish [his 1st win] 2 lb 10½ oz maintains 3rd position on the Leader Board. The only ‘mover’ was Dan Middlemas [his 44th weigh-in from 50 matches fished], up to 5thplace, passing Denis Thompson. ‘IF’ Denis had weighed-in last night, then it would have been discounted, as he wasn’t entered into the match [but is for Sunday night].

Davey ‘Photo Finish’ Turnbull
Davey Turnbull
Low water 20.38 hrs, 2.0 metres, 1031 mbar, 3°C
High pressure, a very cold ESEasterly wind 10-15mph brought short sharp wintery showers mid match during the 4hr match. Close to shore NNEasterly swell with little to no colour was regular with no surging nor tow. Fishing 2½hrs of ebb, and the start of the flood on a neap tide, catch forecast was low, not helped with the extra daylight on the first day of BST.
Fishing, for some was bite less, while others were pestered with bait robbers, the bleggs/poutings caught confirmed the water clarity. Rob Taylor reported catching his codlings in daylight, yet Davey Turnbull reported he was all for going home fishless at 21.00hrs. Sticking it out he was rewarded, on the flood, with 3 codlings, Inc. the HFish of the night 2 lb 11½ oz to achieve a life time goal - a photo outside The Fleece.
Rob Taylor 7 lb 03 oz (4) [his 6th win] has won more matches than anyone else, pointed out he had won the ‘first and last’ matches of the season, his best fish 2 lb 09½ oz. James ‘Jamsy’ Moore had 3 large LSD, the best 2 lb 06 oz, all returned alive.
Brian Harland is crowned 2018 - 2019 Champion, the first time he has ever won the Lord Downe tankard, having been 2nd four times over the years - a well-deserved victory.
