Best Rainbow      6lb by Mr Billington
Bank Average 3.66 fish
Boat Rod Average 3.73 fish
Sport: The wind today certainly hampered presentation and made the fishing a little trickier than it has been. Mike Williams certainly found a method that worked, he fished Newclose Bay to good effect landing 8 fish with 5 trout tipping the scales to 14lb 8oz. Brian Gaskell landed five fish for 12lb unfortunately neither angler revealed their methods. From the boats regular Mark Chippendale had a 14 fish bonanza all from the Northern Shallows Mark said he started off with a black and green buzzer and was straight into the fish but as the wind picked up he switched to a black and green fritz and really got in amongst them. Good angling in tricky conditions. The Northern Shallows and Phil’s Flats are still producing the fish from the boats and the key seems to be in the retrieve, a slow figure eight or draw is doing the damage. Tight lines Pete
