A hot sunny late afternoon tempered by a strong onshore east north east wind were the conditions in which Braintree Sea Angling Club’s latest Summer League match was fished at Shingle Street.  The strong winds proved difficult for some of the competitors who failed to catch any fish.  However Paul Drake and Barrie Senior both managed 10 fish a piece with mixed bags of pin whiting, eels and dabs falling to rag or lug baits.   In this catch and release match it was Barrie who took the honours thanks to a 51cm eel that boosted his fish points to a total of 135.  Paul had 111 points for his second place.
