10th Club Shore competition. Results sent in by Roland Blomfield.
On Saturday 22nd September the club held its 10th shore competition. This was a changed venue from Warren Edge to Chalshot because the wind at Warren Edge was so strong it was unfishable so it was changed to Chalshot where there is more protection from the wind. 13 club members signed on and 9 weighed in fish consisting of silver eel, conger eel, red mullet, dogfish, black bream, codling and smooth-hound. On these competitions undersize fish count for points which were bass, smooth-hound and conger eel. A total of 23 fish were weighed for a total weight of 23 lbs 8-7/8 oz.
