Cart Gap was this weeks venue, with a great turnout of 29 anglers, pegging was to the right of the slipway as fishing over high tide the revetments to the left would have made for impossible fishing. It was decided to mix things up a little tonight with 2 sections so a few more prizes to be won. Firstly welcome to all new members and it was great to see some old members back on the beach as well.
Weed was a problem for many but some pegs struggled all the way through and others only towards the end of the match, we had been warned that some bays were fairly snaggy but everyone hoped we would avoid the snags. The wind was minimal and the evening provided us with a lovely sunset and a beautiful full moon. For the most part fishing was hard and with so many of us fishing its difficult to report individual activity throughout the match, well done to everyone for sticking it out.
Top rod on the night overall was Barry Iseton who in the dying hour found a cracking thorn back ray at 4lb 7 2/3oz to go with his eel, giving him a total weight of 5Lb, well done Barry.
Because of two sections the overall winner was taken out of the section prizes, Section A 1st place went to Luke Lukeyboy Childerhouse showing he hasn’t lost his touch, carding 6 fish for 4lb 10oz, second place went to Clive Parker with 2 fish including a lovely 56cm bass for a total weight of 4lb 1 2/3oz. Section B saw a father & son double act, Ian Childerhouse take first place with 5 fish for 3lb 10 2/3oz and second place went to Andrew Bunn with 4 fish for 2lb 8 2/3oz. Heaviest flat fish went to John Catchpole with a sole 30cm and heaviest round fish went to Barry Iseton with his ray.
