to say it was pleasant weather is an understatment i put my fleece on at 11pm i was pegged in the middle and managed an 81 cm smoothy a dog and a whiting and couldnt get a flat to save my life still it was great to see some rod bending action was delighted to see brendan wolloping off his smoothy and getting the longest round by a few cm from me and alby good selection of speices big suprise was not one bass maybe it was just too calm

Well done Bren on the 83cm. Knew I peaked to soon Think it was to calm for alot to turn up not just bass. Like the promise of codling. Who was on about that again Myself and Kev had a terrible time at the end pegs with a ledge that took rigs, weights and hooks every other cast. Still good fun with a highlight of mine getting a lefty flounder. Forgot to take a pic though!

really enjoyed this comp some mix of species, 2 huss in three casts on the east coast has to be my highlight of the year. albys double smoothy put every one 160 points behind in one cast and they played an important role in the placings, pity i couldnt get one

Sounds like it was a deadly match gentlemen well done Alby on the win and the lads in 2nd + 3rd

well done men sounded like a great comp with plenty of good fish taken

congrads on the win man sounds like a great day out with a good mix of species to boot
