With the reported abundance of skate caught from Herne Bays' shores lately and the arrival of peeler crabs, the 17 anglers who fished the Osman Cup on Sunday 6th April had high hopes of decent catches.
The weather was decent with bright skies and a SW breeze but as is so often the case lately the fish just weren't playing ball.
A lot of entrants reported catches of tiny whiting, bass and codling while one member saw a skate landed by a non H.A.S member fishing just two break waters away.
In the end only M. Morris weighed in a catch with two small but sizeable bass from cold harbour.
1st- M. Morris, 2 fish, 3.52lbs
