Big pollock caught from Whitby west Pier by Dan Craig

Dan's personal best fish now leads the way in the competition for the heaviest fish within the clubs junior section. In second place was Dennis Thompson with 3 rocklings for 2 pounds 3 ounces, closely follow in third by Dave Perret with 2 codlings for 2 pounds 2 ounces. Charlie the Pollock Breckon also landed a nice pollock which would have taken second place on the night but unfortunately he missed the weigh in due to work commitments.

After taking second place in Sunday evenings match Philip Mead went one better tonight and won with 14 whiting for 9 pounds 13 ounces.

Wednesday 4th October

A Light to moderate northerly sea swell provided better conditions for the Whitby Sea Anglers mid week match fished over low water. However this also made things difficult as the sea state meant it was too rough to fish some venues whilst not rough enough for many others. George Middlemass' experience shone through and enabled him to choose the right venue to catch 3 fish for 10 pounds 11 ounces giving him 1st place on the night. George's bag, the heaviest of the month to date, also included a fine cod of 7 pounds 8 ounces which sets the pace for the heaviest fish of the month competition. Wednesday nights second place angler was Brian Harland with 6 codlings for a total of 9 pounds 2 ounces. Aidrian Kelly took third place with 3 fish for 8 pounds 11 ounces and continues to be one of the clubs most improved anglers over the past couple of years.

The smallest of neap tides, flat calm seas and gin clear water meant the conditions were not good for sea angling in Sunday nights 4 hour match. There seemed to be a lot of fish about that were just under the legal size limit but finding any above that size proved difficult.

The matches so far this year have seen an increase in the amount of pollock being brought to the scales, tonight's match saw both Mike Vasey and Charlie the Pollock Breckon catch decent sized fish.
