Yellow Isle Match 18th May

This match was to be held at the Yellow Isle, but when we arrived it had been raining which made the way down the hill a bit unsafe. I asked the guys what they thought about a venue change and they agrred it was the best thing to do. We headed to our new venue and started fishing at 2pm. The fishing was a bit slow to start with but picked up as the tide turned the fish made an apperance with mixed bags. All fish were returned alive.

Dunure Shore Match 18th June

This was the first match to be fished in the Summer League Championship. Fishing low tide up the start was a bit slow but once the tide turned it picked up a bit. I struck into my first bite and was into a snag and then I heard a bang. Looking down I could see my tip laying in the water and kelp. Then the words of Eddie ( it's gone ) rang in my head. I went for the pull with fish on and butt in my hand and lucky I managed to get it free. Thanks to Shane and Mark I got my tip back in. Shane pulled the line in at an angle so Mark could reach the eye of my tip with his rod good save guys. I looked at my rod and expecting it to be snaped instead it had popped out as I struck into the fish. So lesson learned make sure your tip is in far enough.

Results are as follows-

1st J Wilson with 6 fish for 174pts.

2nd M Wilson with 3 fish for 106pts.

3rd S Wilson with 1 fish for 25pts.

Ballast Bank Shore 30th Aug 

 

The match at the Ballast Bank was a good match for 3 hours fishing. You had to cope with the small wrasse getting to your baits first before the big guy's got to it. The drop shot method seemed to be the way on the night as it had the advantage over the floats.

1st J Wilson with 4 fish for 145pts

2nd equal I Grant / S Wilson with 1 fish for 25pts.

Shore Match 10th Aug

 

This match was fished in near unfishable conditions. The guy's that managed to catch sizeable fish did well. The weed was there from the first cast right to the end. At times we were standing in the surf to try and keep you line high out of the weed long enough for a fish to see it. It got that bad that we decided to call it a day with one hour to go till the match finished.Two nice turbot were caught one for Tony and one for myself, first shore caught turbot which goes to our species hunt.

This match was fish from 2pm - 9pm with a good wind blowing but in the wronge direction.There were plenty of small fish about like the last time we were up, about 24cms to 28cms but as this was a sized fish match only no scores were recorded. Frank did get a nice scorpion fish which was close to the club record at 9oz 3dr, club record 9oz 7dr. The good thing is it goes towards the species hunt.
