Accumulator boat competition results

Conditions couldn’t have been better for the 13 Heron’s setting out for the clubs 1st boat competition of the year, The Accumulator, on Sunday 24th March. 
Skate were the obvious target with catches also made up of whiting and dogfish. Dave Morris landed the heaviest fish of the day, a stonking Thornback of 13lbs 13.4oz whilst Chris Brett, a newcomer to the club also landed a nice double of 11lbs 4.2oz.
 The numbers of rays seemed to be closer in to shore with Tony Morris and Ben Morris boating 11 between them although only 6 were sizeable, whilst boats further out had greater numbers of dogfish.  
Both Lewis Perry-French and his brother Bradley did well with 2 rays each but the eventual winner was Matt Brett with a good overall weight of 33lbs 0.2oz.
