I would like to thank the club that did the work in organizing this competition,also the companies that donated excellent prizes to the table.
Also the donations to the Blyth inshore rescue was magnificent sum to help with there upkeep.
I fished this competition today,very poor from a cod anglers view point,but I thought it was a very well attended match by a lot of anglers wanting to show there support to Barry Tweedle memorial.
A big well done to people that put in the hard work to make this happen,and I hope this can be a annual event..........WELL DONE...H

Unfortunately, quite a few didn't bother to try and bring their flatties back alive to the scales, even though flatties have been worth a fair bit over the years to those involved. It's disappointing because the sea is only about 100 yards away from where they're weighed. I suppose it's all about being bothered and thinking of your sports future. A bucket of water or one of those excellent waterproof fish bags is all it would take.

WELL SAID M8, YOUR RIGHT

I would of gone the other way Sam, while scrounghing my fish at the end there was only about twenty flats left, I took four away with a couple of codling when i got home one flapped out the bag. When i was round the back there was a steady stream of anglers going up and down the stairs to Newbiggin Bay putting there flounders back. Of course some may of taken their dead ones away. Best way to keep flounder alive is in a little bit of water in a flat tray, you can keep them in a bucket of water but the water must be constantly changed otherwise they drowm through lack of oxygen. Keeping them in no water is better than too much, and don't pile them on top of each other.

 

[super-MAGuire]

damp cloth between them in a polybag left loose and kept cool is a win, dabs and flounders are tough little buggers, plaice not so i have came to realise.

Hi Alan,
You old fish scrounger! Your right about the water needing to be changed regularly,but this isn't too difficult to do. I suppose the careful unhooking of the fish is half the battle in keeping them alive for returning after weighing. It's good to hear that you saw plenty of anglers returning their fish, but I still wonder if a lot of them were put back dead. I spotted quite a few guys with fish crammed into small plastic bags, looking horribly dried out and probably dead.

thought that myself the way they where cramped, I was surprised to see them come out alive, suppose if there was only two or three in a bag, seems they survived, wouldn't put more than a couple in a little bag though.
Sam you won't get a better scrounger than me.

 

[fish fingers]

even when the fish are returned no one will no really whether they survive i no when i,ve fished the river aln i,ve found loads off flats dead and on close inspection quite afew have had hooks in thier mouths which would almos where anglers have tried to do thier bit and just cut the hook snood rather than doing abit of dentistry which would defo kill them.
