Whitley Bay AS 4th open summer match result 28/07/13

[g-force]

Despite horrible conditions this morning we still managed to get 20 hard-core lads turning out at Beadnell...seems the light-weights don't like a bit of wind & rain The weigh-in was better than could have been expected at the start, with 12 lads weighing in around 50lb of fish. Boundaries were opened up given the conditions to allow people to seek a bit of shelter at the likes of Newton & Craster, but fish came from all over.

1st - Steve Williams, 4 fish - 9lb 1oz winning £100
2nd - Chris Potts, 3 fish - 5lb 14oz winning £50

well done lads,was surprised so many weighed in until gary said they opened the boundries on account of the bad weather. davy.

Aye, lots of small fish all over today Davy, even at Beadnell...was pleasantly surprised to get mine early on along with Ian Hall, but then it went dead on the back of the point - other gullies were throwing up the smaller fish with lots of other bites.

not a bad weigh in at all considering them conditions well done on the heaviest fish gary, did most of the fish come from the point again?

A lot of small fish all over John; except the back of the point - Ian & I got our fish within minutes of each other after an hour or so but then it went dead...only one other small bite after that. There were a few small fish from the western end near the harbour, but more fish in the gullies north of the point. Also small fish at Craster & Newton, so fish were more or less evenly spread out all over.
