2nd LEG : Pans Bank, Sunderland 4th July.

Fished 6pm-10pm last 4 hrs flood on a small tide. Very warm night but windy. Fish showed straight away for some (no prizes for guessing which 2 for) and continued right the way through the comp'. Steve Elliott's bag contained a mix of a couple flounder, few codling and the rest coalies. Dave Nevin had coalies and flounder right up to his last cast when he pulled in a triple shot of codling which wasnt quite enough to catch Steve but managed to bag the heaviest fish on points with a 36cm flounder.
