Wednesday 6th December 2006

With the prevailing weather still coming from the south west the conditions for sea fishing on the east coast remain less than perfect. Despite this whenever there has been a bit of swell there has been some good fishing as Dave Perett proved in Wednsday's ebb tide match. Dave managed to locate a venue where a slight long distance northerly sea swell was stirring the bottom which helped him catch 3 fish for 11 pounds 2 ounces, the biggest of which was a fine cod of 8 pounds 15 ounces. Glenn Kilpatrick came second with 16 whiting for 10 pounds 4 ounces. Bernado Vasey found a couple of decent sized codling for 5 pounds 13 ounces which gave him third place on the night.

Results : 1st Dave Perett 11-2(3), 2nd Glenn Kilpatrick 10-4(16), 3rd Bernado Vasey 5-13(2), M Breckon 3-8(4), D Thompson 2-0(2), D Waters jnr 1-10(1), R Allison 1-6(1), A Cass 1-4(2), P Hoy 1-4(1), M Vasey 0-13(1), C Stainthorpe 0-13(1), M Robinson 0-7(1), D Mcarthy 0-6(1), D Smith jnr 0-5(1), P Kilpatrick 0-5(1), P Mead 0-4(1).

Sunday 3rd December 2006

A storm forced south westerly wind made conditions difficult for the Whitby sea anglers as they turned out to fish their 4 hour Sunday night match over low water. A slight south easterly swell and heavily coloured water gave better prospects on the cod front and this was shown in the results with catches being up on the past few weeks. Glenn Kilpatrick had a good night weighing in 5 fish for 19 pounds 4 ounces the biggest of which was a fine cod of 10 pounds 4 ounces. Glenn's bag and fish now lead the way in the club competitions for the heaviest fish and bag for both the month of December and for the season. Paul Kilpatrick came in second on the night with 3 fish for 10 pounds 10 ounces, Paul also had a decent fish of 6 pounds 1 ounces. Brian Harland completed the places on the night with 5 fish for 8 pounds 8 ounces.

Results: 1st Glenn Kilpatrick 19-04(5), 2nd Paul Kilpatrick 10-10(3), 3rd Brian Harland 8-8(5), M Vasey 4-0(2), D Perett 3-12(4), A Kelly 3-2(1), D Mcarthy 2-3(2), P Mead 2-3(1), J Ebbison 1-14(2), D Thompson 1-8(2), T Wright 1-5(2), D Smith 0-9(1), D Sullivan 0-7(1).
