The Herons' first boat competition of the year took part on Sunday 9th April in what can only be described as perfect conditions.
14 took part in 7 boats and spread out from Bishopstone to the pier head and out to the Weir bank. All weighed in with dogs, whiting and skate accounting for most of the bags and a couple of early, small smoothhound making an appearance also. D. Neiles had the biggest of these at 4lbs 4.2oz.
The heaviest fish of the day fell for event winner T. Morris, who had a lovely thornback ray of 13lbs 13oz, missing out on a specimen medal by just 3oz. Meanwhile, I. Morris also had a double figure fish, boating a personal best ray of 10lbs 4.8oz.
Full results as follows;
1st- T. Morris, 33 fish, 44lbs 11oz
