EASTERN - 1st leg 25.10.18 Orford Island

Nine anglers from the Eastern Region fished the event and met on Orford Quay at about 07.00am. Weather conditions were favourable with 
a slightly overcast day and light North Westerly winds. Following a quick chat and issue of match cards all the anglers boarded the boat for 
the short river crossing to the island and after a short walk across the beach all anglers set up and began fishing.

Fishing started as soon as anglers had set up and initial local reports of lots Whiting being caught soon proved to be correct. Most anglers 
were soon catching fish which included many sizeable. The match rules meant that all fish over 18cms were sizeable except for Whiting, 
Cod and Bass which were SAMF size limits. Fish showed all the way through the match with most anglers catching lots of sizeable and 
undersize fish. Many anglers were regularly catching double and treble shots of fish. The match finished at about 15:15 and the anglers 
packed up and returned to the ferry point for the short boat trip back to the Quay to hand in their match cards.

A total of 264 sizeable fish were caught consisting of 234 Whiting, 27 Dogfish, 1 Dab and 2 Pouting with many more undersize fish returned. 
Winning angler on the day was Kevin Eley with 53 fish for 1075 fish points, second place was Dave Holmes with 36 fish for 733 fish points 
and third place was Bill Mitcham with 26 fish for 673 fish points. Biggest round fish was a 60cm Dogfish caught by Keith Bleach and 
biggest flatfish was a 22cm Dab again caught by Keith Bleach.

A big thank you goes out to all the competitors who attended this event and followed the measure and release rules, including the use of 
buckets of sea water for transporting fish between anglers, which meant the safe return of fish with very few fatalities.

SOUTH WEST - 
1st leg - Slapton Sands 18.03.22
Twelve anglers fished the first heat of our Regional Shore Angling competition yesterday at Slapton Sands Beach in South Devon. This was the site of Operation Tiger, the ill fated practice
 for the D Day invasion, which resulted in the deaths of around 1500 American servicemen. A memorial to those lost is a recovered Sherman tank displayed in the car park.
The weather was bright and sunny with a biting easterly, onshore, wind. Fish were notable by their absence - even the local seal appeared and moved on!
The fish that were caught put in an appearance late on in the day.
The Winner was Andy Daniels who snuck out five small whiting for 111 cm. Alan Wood and Graham Morrison each had a mackerel at 35cm and 25cm respectively giving them second and third places.
The rest of us had to contend with a lovely full moon rise from the East.
