Shingle Street was the venue for Braintree Sea Angling Clubs latest match.  Conditions were not perfect although there was plenty of colour in the water the strong on shore wind made distance casting difficult.  The fishing was slow for most of the day with the occasional whiting beating the voracious crabs to the bait. The ebb tide saw five cod in the 3 to 4 ½ lb range landed.  Paul Drake took the honours with twelve whiting and two cod for 460 fish points. Second place was Robin Joy with four whiting and two cod for 373 fish points.  Barrie Senior was in third spot with 342 fish points from his catch of ten whiting and one cod.
