HSAC Summer Accumulator Match 2 - Weybourne

Posted by admin - 06/04/08 at 06:04 pm

Venue: Weybourne North Norfolk 2pm till 7pm 6th April 2008

In total contrast to last weeks summer conditions, we had northerly winds and snow before the match started,luckily the sea state had calmed off enough to make it fishable.

Only 9 anglers braved the cold for the second match of the season and we fished the flood tide, for a time we could hold the bottom but during the last 2 hours of the match this became increasingly difficult.Weed and waves played their part with only 5 of the 9 anglers having anything to show.

Bob Thompson with an early codling for 2.4 2/3 secured victory with no other angler breaking the 1lb mark.All in all a dissappointing session with many undersize codling being reported.

MATCH 5 - CLUB WATERS ROVER - Sat. March 22nd

MATCH   5   -  CLUB WATERS ROVER - Sat. March 22nd
 
A spell of horrendous Easter weather reduced the turnout to just 11 anglers for this one, with 2 of the pre-booked members deciding not to bother. 10 of us opted to face the strong North-westerly at Talacre, where we were pretty sure to catch something at least, this worked with everyone weighing in. The only one with another plan was Norman Dorling, who chose Deganwy, this paid off handsomely, with his bag of 15 flounders for 6.91 kgs., more than treble the weight of the next best effort. His best flounder of 0.69 ( 1-08-04 lbs.) also taking the heaviest fish prize.
Bill McLintock took 2nd with 13 dabs for 2.06, Terry Jones managed 3rd with 10 dabs and a whiting for 1.74., 4th place went to Gary Bates with 8 dabs and a whiting for 1.64. Chris Gibbons was 5th with 1.08, and Dave Mitchell 6th with 0.93. Two teams scored 65 points, Dave Mitchell and Gary Bates, and Kev Jones and Terry Jones.
The league title went to Norman Dorling, his masterstroke today taking him level on points with Dan Davies but winning on total weight by a wide margin, Kev Jones took 3rd place just 3 points behind. The team title went to Dan Davies and Chris Gibbons ,11 points clear of Kev Jones and Terry Jones.
Thanks to everyone who turned up to the 5 matches, and I hope we can keep up the support for the forthcoming summer league.

Match 4 - Perch Rock - New Brighton - Saturday 23rd February 2008

Match 4 - Perch Rock - New Brighton - Saturday 23rd February 2008
 
Another attempt at a match in the Mersey saw twenty members and one guest lining up at the start. The weather forecast was for South Westerly 15 m.p.h. winds, they lied!  We had a westerly near gale behind us, and Sahara type sandstorms making things slightly less than comfortable.
The match started very slowly, with rumours of the odd fish or two, but few and far between, a few dabs and rockling on the ebb with the occasional under size whiting. As the tide turned there were a few more fish about, but still very disappointing.
Chris Gibbons took the honours with 3 dabs, a whiting and a rockling for 0.73 kgs. Norman Dorling was 2nd with 3 dabs and a rockling for 0.68, Gary Bates 3rd with 3 dabs and 2 rockling for 0.65, and Dan Davies 4th with 3 dabs for 0.57. This was enough to give Dan the lead in the league going into the last match.
Bill McLintock took 5th with 0.54, and Wayne McGilloway 6th with 0.36, 16 anglers weighed in, in all. The heaviest fish was one of Norman`s dabs at 0.25 kgs and top team were Chris and Dan with 71 points from 1st and 4th places.
