Six juniors signed on to fish in cold but calm conditions with the West Bay Sea Angling Club, writes Richard Daw.
The fishing, which took place on Saturday, November 16, was varied and good with 129 fish caught, species included Tompot, Shanny, Lesser Weever, Whiting, Bass, Smelt, Pollack, Corkwing and Ballan Wrasse.
Thanks as ever to Tom Marley at the Angling Centre, Norman Stokes and Richard Tiny Daw for all their help without which none of this would be possible, initially I was hoping for more anglers but to be fair with the amount of fish about we would have struggled with any more this time! It was good to see so may sizeable fish and a few prawns that we managed to catch went home with them to make the odd fish pie.
Results were: Fist fish Chelsea Pearce (30g Whiting) Smallest fish: Chelsea Pearce (12g Weaver) Most fish: Mollie Whitfield (27 fish) Heaviest round fish Chelsea Pearce (462g Ballan) 3rd place: Quinn Whitfield (551g Sizeable fish) 2nd place: Sam Carter (618g sizeable fish) 1st place: Alfie Jeans (880g sizeable fish)
