only 8 anglers turned out to fish this comp ( but only 7 finished ), some were fishing the sea league and others were out in there boat's.

the fishing was very good from the start with double dogs being landed on the first cast's - but for one poor angler(who i will not name) it was all to much when his reel seat broke ON HIS ABU REEL and then he lost the plot and proceeded to smash his rod into 4 pieces very amusing for the spectaters parked along the shore, we were asked by one old couple "why did he do that", there was not a lot we could say about that other than fishing can be quite stressful for some people at times..( but amuseing for the rest of us watching)

anyway enough of that, the winner on the day was kenny clough with 23 dogs and 3 mackeral for a total legth of 1355cm, 2nd went to steve quilliam with 1080cm and third went to myself with 1045cm.

h/dog went to steve at 1-13 , h/other was steve again - mackeral 11oz, pairs were paul hay and kenny with a combined total of 2235cm.

between the 7 anglers we caught a total of 112 dogfish and 6 sizeable mackeral - which when totted up gave a total length of 63.19 metres.
