This year’s competition took place for the first time on Saturday with the AGM taking place on the following day at Weymouth Angling Society.
The weather was kind to us and 20 anglers took part fishing from Snapper and Offshore Rebel.
The competition was based on big fish with no size Conger, Rays and Spurdog scoring 5pts each and any fish over 5lb scoring 10pts.
During the day over the two boats 68 Conger, 26 Rays (including Blonde, Spotted, Undulate, Small Eyed and Thornback) 2 Smoothound over 5lb and 3 Bull Huss over 5lb, along with some huge Whiting with the best going 2lb 6oz.
1st Place was tied. Brian Moss & Perry Dack 50pts both catching 7 Conger and 3 Rays each.
3rd Place Bill Cann 40pts 2 Congers 4 Rays 1 over 5lb
4th Place Ray Barron 40pts 7 congers 1Ray (if a tie the countback was the angler with the most Rays)
5th Place Mike Fox 35pts 6 Conger, 1 Ray
Well done to our winners and thank you to everyone that took part.
There will be changes next year with the format and making it a one-day competition similar to how the EFSA Species event is run. Watch this space.
The format of Fishing Saturday with the AGM on Sunday went down really well and this will be continued next year.
