Our Clubman League continued with a species hunt format, and at this venue, the match comprised two zones. The poor form of the river at this time of year persisted, resulting in several anglers failing to record any fish on their cards, with the vast majority of catches consisting of small fish, with only a few exceptions.
As in all matches, however, a result needs to be determined. After what looked to be another close call, "Zone A" produced a few more species, with the added bonus of dogfish to boost length. With cards checked, Paul Bonner and Jim Morris tied in both length and number of species, securing joint first place, as neither angler could offer a count-back fish to secure an outright win.
With the zone structure dictating the remaining positions, Dave Evans took second place (Zone B), Gary Tull third (zone A) Nigel Conlon fourth (Zone B). Paul expanded his winnings by having both the longest and shortest fish.

This match was based on the total length made up from each angler's two best fish. However, for a while, the fishing could only be described as "slow" and it appeared it was going to be a task for the majority of anglers to even catch two fish.
As the match progressed, a few more fish began to be registered on the cards, although with no superior-sized fish being landed, it looked like it could be a close finish for several anglers.
However, in the final 30 minutes, dogfish and thornback ray made an appearance to help establish the final places. With cards checked, Martin Bleasdale came out on top with a ray and a whiting totaling 86cm. Peter James and Ian Griffiths both had dogfish to add to their other best fish, and with the mathematics done, it was 2nd for Peter and a third place for Ian. Martin had the longest fish, with Simon Colman and Dave Vernon tying on the smallest.

Our 2024 Clubman League got underway at the Town Hall steps where the format was each angler's best flat and round.
Fish were caught from the off and continued in good numbers throughout. Catches were mainly small fish and, for those that could muster a flat and round, the match was proving to be a tight call until Dave Ostler and Mark Roberts landed rays late on. Despite the catches, neither of them could find a flat to accompany their ray and then Graham Lea, on his last cast, brought in a 60cm dogfish to add to his 23cm dab; giving him a commanding lead.
With cards checked, the top three accordingly were Graham, Gary Ritson and Phil Ord. Mark's 74cm ray took the longest fish whilst an 11cm whiting gave Peter James the smallest.

Vale Park was the venue for our first match of 2024 - representing our Memorial (pairs) Match. Despite expectations of a good days fishing for the time of year, January was to live up to its reputation as a poor month in the sea fishing calendar.
Factoring in a bitter easterly wind, resulted in over half the anglers failing to record any fish. For those that did catch , numbers were limited to between one and three.
A result needed to be determined regardless of the conditions and, after a check of the match cards, the winning pair were Phil ord and Dave Ostler. Runners up were Nigel Conlon and Graham Lea.
In third place was Mark Allanson / Gary Tull. John Wood and Steve Moffat were the only pair to both catch, their combined contribution giving them fourth. Steve Crowder / Martin Bleasdale completed the top five.
Thank you to all who took part.
