The Whitby Open Fishing Competition 2007
Sunday the 25th November saw The Whitby Sea Anglers Association hold their annual one day open fishing competition. Some 90 anglers from across the region fished in tough conditions with only 24 competitors managing to weigh in. A growing northerly sea swell and moderate onshore winds making things difficult for the anglers during the 6 hour match fished across a flood to high water tide. The event winner was Davey Turnbull whose bag of 4 cod for 18 pounds 7 ounces earned him a check for £500 which was presented by club treasurer Dave Perett. A close second was was Cloughton angler Chris France who took 3 fish for 16 pounds 7 ounces earning him a cheque for £200. Third place went to Scarborough angler Peter Bayes who landed 2 nice fish for 14 pounds 2 ounces, Pete recieved a cheque for £100 for his efforts. The highest placed Whitby angler was James Gilpin who had 4 cod for 12 pounds 7 ounces putting him in 5th place overall. In the competition for heaviest fish Chris France came out on top with a fine codling of 8 pounds 3 ounces caught early in the match. Unfortunately no junior anglers weighed in.
