YOUNG anglers in West Bay cast their rods for the latest match of the year.
Saturday saw the second match of the year for the juniors with 14 signing on to fish in sunny conditions.
With the dredging now complete in the harbour, the club had high hopes for a few more fish than the last match and although the fishing was tough, competitors feel it is improving.
Species caught on the day were ballan wrasse, corkwing wrasse, tompot, shanny, lesser weaver, and flounder.
First fish, most fish and smallest fish all went to Chelsea Pearce. Heaviest Flatfish went to Oscar Broome with a 45g Flounder.
Heaviest round fish went to Alfie Hamlett with a 608g Ballan Wrasse. Third place with 106g was Oscar Broome. Second place with 115g was Teddy Butcher.
First place with 608g of sizeable fish went to Alfie Hamlett, he also won a lovely rod kindly donated to the juniors by Rex and Brigid.
A spokesperson for the West Bay Sea Angling Club said: "Well done to all the anglers and thanks as always to Richard 'Tiny' Daw and Norman Stokes for all their help weighing fish and sorting out tangles, baiting up etc.
"Also, as ever Angling Centre West Bay for the huge amount of support they give the juniors, the whole thing is a real team effort.
"Our next match is on 13th June, the fishing should continue to improve, and we'd love to see you there."
