Dave Hambley snaps up midweek WSAA League double

This was reflected with only 11 fishing in the midweek match.

Sea state EastNorthEasterly close to shore swell 1ft, with some colour.

A very cold Southerly breeze [a frost by morning], for the best part full cloud cover.

A red aurora alert was issued around 19.30hrs, but there was no real chance of witnessing any light show on Wednesday.

Both Dave Perrett, of Whitby, and Guisborough-based angler Dave Ward had to fish, as it was the WSAA League’s Singles Knockouts Final.

Most spent the match watching a motionless rod tip, not even bites from undersized fish nee bait robbers.

And as yet no whitings on the local beaches which would have provided some entertainment!

At the weigh-in seven members were successful, their meagre catch - seven codlings, two billets, two flounders (returned alive), and a rockling graced the scales.

Man of the Match Dave Hambley, Staithes won both Heaviest Bag of Fish 4 lb 6 oz (2), his fifth win of the season, and Heaviest Fish 3 lb 15½ oz, his sixth win in that category.

Well done on such a hard night.

Dave Ward - 2 lb 00 oz (3) beat Dave Perrett - 1 lb 01 oz (1) to become the Whitby Sea Anglers Association Singles Knockout Champion 2022 - 2023.
