A good turn out saw 16 Herons head to Deal for the Jackson Cup on Saturday 25th March. Fishing the tide up and virtually all in darkness, the event was promising of good results..... until the wind had its say. A staunch 20mph North Easterly was prevalent for the whole competition and made things very difficult. Nonetheless, 13 competitors brought bags to the scales comprising whiting and dogfish.
S. Stephenson found the best of the numbers from the Walmer end with 10 fish for the win whilst newcomer, R. Cimino took 7 from the golf course for second. Ronnie also won the heaviest fish pool with a specimen dogfish of 2lbs 2oz.
D. Neiles was third with 6 fish from Deal main beach.
