Match Report – Shingle Street – 24th August 2014

The calm sea made fishing easy but it wasn’t until the light began to fade that the first bites came and then it continued to be slow all through the match. Barrie Senior fishing for sole with small hooks unexpectedly caught five thornback rays the largest 43cm across the wings, these together with four sole, a dogfish, a small smoothhound and three whiting gave him 501 fish points a comfortable margin over his nearest competitor Paul Drake.

Third place was taken by Robin Joy with 83 points from his catch of 2 whiting and a dogfish.
