Well seven hardy soles turned up to fish the first winter Comp of the season in what turned out to be ideal conditions, with a good sea running, no wind and very little rain.
The Comp was to be fished between 7pm and 11pm on a rising tide using the SAMF catch and release score card for length of fish, with anything over 18cms scoring
Ian Ainsley had three Codling out for the first three casts measuring 37cm,38cm and 49cm and stormed into a quick lead, before Ian Jackson followed with a 30cm Coley.
The lads were then into a few flounder with Alan Lunn landing a plump 30cm.
Ian continued where he left off and landed two further two Codling in quick succession measuring 33cm and 38cm.
With around 60minutes to go, the shout had gone up from Mick Dunn, that he had finally managed to wrestle one out, and he produced a one eyed suicidal 28cm Coley to the scorer, but at least it saves the blank he cried.!!!!
Just as the rain made an appearance with thirty minutes to go, Ian had a cracking bite which nearly lifted the butt of the ground and struck into a decent fish only to get it snagged in the boulders at the edge of the Prom, but with a little help from Mr Woodcock they managed to get the fish out and onto the measure, the biggest of the night was landed measuring a nice plump 52cm and taking the biggest fish prize.
All the fish were taken on either worm or live crab and were all released safely apart from the last codling due to the damage it received from getting stuck in the blocks.
A good night was had by all with only Mel Anderson and Keith Robinson failing to trouble the scorer and having to fight over the El Blanco Mexican Hat.!!!
RESULTS.
