The first shore match was held at riverside Dundee and when we arrived there the wind was blowing a bit in gusts which made the sea a bit rough and coloured. First couple of casts produced a couple of small flounders and codling. As the tide rose a few more small fish were being caught but added to your species hunt. A few hours later some welcomed sized flounders were being caught.

The results are as follows

1st J Wilson with 7 fish for 197pts

2nd F Speirs with 4 fish for 107pts

3rd I Grant with 2 fish for 58pts
