17 hardy anglers including junior Calum Stuart,turned up on Seaham Hall Beach between 1800hrs and 2200hrs for this Comp in terrible rainy conditions.
All fish to be measured and scored using SAMF score card with anything over 18 cm counting
Things started fairly slowly whilst the last of the daylight was around with a few small plaice showing up.
As darkness fell, the fish began to show. David Thynne pulled out a cracking Plaice measuring 37cm giving him 60pts, but within minutes, Kev Woodcock fishing the North end of the beach at the Caves, caught an even better one measuring 43cm giving him an instant 100 pts. Most anglers thought that this fish would clean up the prize table for longest fish and total points.
As the tIde eased, the bites slowed down. Ian Ainsley continued to scratch around near to the Slope and managed a winning catch of 14 fish which included Plaice, Whitey and Dabs, with Dave and Kev unable to capitalize on their respective big Plaice scores.
Most fish were caught on rag tipped with maki, although white worm played a part in Ian's catch
All fish returned and again cracking bait from Terry at Reelsport delivered for the Comp
Winning Positions
1st Ian Ainsley 14 fish for 170pts
2nd David Thynne 6 fish for 111pts
3rd Kev Woodcock 2 fish for 105pts
4th Jason Mole 4 fish for 41pts
5th Bill Huscroft 2 fish for 32pts
6th Gordon Stuart 2 fish for 29pts
7th Calum Stuart 2 fish for 18pts
8th Phil Donnally 1 fish for 13pts
