Report:
Waterfoot Beach was the venue for the final club comp of the year, a great turn-out was rewarded with lots of fish although most were under 25cm.

I had my bigger flounder on the second cast and as darkness fell, the y-ting were destroying our baits.

Lots of different rigs and tactics were being used as several of the clubs side competitions were to be finalised tonight along with the Master Angler title going down to the wire.

Well done to Jonny for taking the Master Angler Title and a special mention goes to Conor C for taking the junior title just ahead of young John Picken who fought right til the end.

Tonights comp was won by Neill with 2 flounder and a coalie.

Gerry Picken also done us all pround with a beautiful Bass @ 2lb - this was the first Bass I have witnessed being caught and a first for the club this year

As always, the craic was 90 tonight....

Looking forward to the new season starting in Jan...

[Norfolk and Goode]

Go Conor, Go Conor, well done wee man, you definately deserved it?

It's good to see such enthusiam for fishing from someone that is still fairly young.

Full credit to Conor, rain, hail, sleet and snow he's there! Freezing his wee wotsits off, smile on his face asking all those questions and taking all the replies in and learning all the time. Soon you'll be showing your uncle GG the way to go.

Keep up the good work and get plenty of rigs made for next year. I would bet that you will make it 2 in a row for the junior master angler next year!

Well done again

Steve
