Bright sunshine and a strong easterly breeze greeted Braintree Sea Angling Club members as they caught the ferry at Orford to take them down river to fish their latest match off the Orfordness shingle bank.  Although not the best conditions for sea angling whiting, pout and a few small bass were caught on the rising tide.  As the tide turned some of the anglers were plagued with undersize pout but as the tide eased the whiting began to feed again along with a few dogfish and a couple of codling.  Whilst waiting for the return ferry the points were added up  and in first place was Barrie Senior with 571 fish points from his catch of 26 whiting, 6 pout, 3 dogfish and an eel.  Second place went to Paul Drake with 17 whiting, 4 pout, and one each of cod, dogfish and dab for 384 fish points.  Chris Leonard was third with 300 fish points from his catch of 12 whiting, 3 pout, 1 cod and a dogfish.  Robin Joy had the best fish of the day a cod of 52cm.
