Match Results – Shore

27th April Gilkicker – Hasler

15 amphibious members turned up for last nights match at Gilkicker, a great effort in that weather. Plenty of fish were caught with only 2 members, who were fishing next to me, not recording fish due to bad luck with losing rigs and having to pack up early. As everyone was tired and wet and wanted to get home the winners will be paid at the next match.
A total of 161 sizeable fish were recorded being 118 Dogfish, 37 Pout, 2 Whiting, 2 Smuts, 1 Dab & 1 Thornback Ray. Heaviest Fish was a Smut of 2.041kg for Daniel Panter. No sizeable Congers were caught so the Golden Fish was raffled and won by Jack Haynes.
Daniel Panter won with 18 fish for 9.773kg closely followed by Lewis Milam with 21 fish for 9.130kg. Gavin Priday not far behind in 3rd with 16 fish for 8.697kg with Jack Haynes taking 4th with 11 fish for 7.779kg including the Thornback Ray. 5th was Darren Milam with 16 fish for 6.081kg. Most of the other anglers also had decent weights of over 4kg – well done.

27th January Streamer point

1st shore match last night at Steamer Point and good to see some new faces and some old, welcome all. 21 members fished with 20 recording a total of 128 sizeable fish being 81 Pout, 29 Rockling, 12 Whiting, 3 Dogfish, 2 Plaice & 1 Small Eyed Ray. The weather was kind and conditions were good.
Lewis Milam started the defence of his title in a sloppy manner just managing a mere 36 fish being 21 Pout, 12 Rockling & 3 Whiting for 3.204kg. Seriously though it was the largest winning margin by number of fish I can ever remember, brilliant fishing – just don’t do it again.😁 The best of the rest was Jon Purdie with a nice mixed bag of 5 Pout, 1 Plaice, 1 Rockling & 1 Dog for 1.926kg, well done and good start on the species. Third was Rob Cooke with 8 Pout, 1 Whiting & 1 Dog for 1.685kg. Dean Scott-denness came 4th with 4 Pout, 1 Rockling and the nights heaviest fish a 1.106kg Small Eyed Ray for a total of 1.609kg.
