11th Club Shore competition. Results sent in by Roland Blomfield.
On Saturday 18th October the club held its 11th club shore competition. This was a changed venue because the weather was very bad and with a strong south-easterly wind and rain it would have been very dangerous to fish at Friars Cliff so the competition was changed to a rover instead.
8 club members signed on and 7 weighed in fish consisting of dogfish, pouting and bass. On these competitions undersize fish count for points which were bass, pouting and sole. Once the fish are weighed and measured, they are returned to the sea as quickly as possible. A total of 19 fish were weighed for a total weight of 28lbs 3oz. Best round fish of the evening was a bass of 4lb 7oz caught by Malcolm Stote 2nd best fish was a specimen dogfish of 2lb caught by Roland Blomfield.
