Despite ideal conditions, just 8 anglers headed out from the club house on Sunday 2nd June for the Iris Boat Trophy.
Due to good catches of smoothhounds, bass and skate from our shores, expectations were high for the event but unfortunately fell staggeringly short. In fact, 3 of the 4 boats mostly just found dogfish and even those were very low in number.
Fishing closer in at Reculver however, B. Morris did manage to find a hound of 9lbs 9.4oz but his partner, T. Morris, bettered it by a mile.
Tony’s best fish was a 12lbs 6oz smoothhound and along with 4 others, 3 dogfish and a bass of 2lbs 5.2oz, he easily won the competition.
Meanwhile yet another engine failure, this time for Ian and Dave Morris, meant their fishing was cut short whilst they awaited rescue!!
Full results as follows;
1st- T. Morris, 9 fish, 40lbs 9oz
2nd- B. Morris, 1 fish, 9lbs 9.4oz
3rd- K. Morris, 6 fish, 7lbs 9.6oz
4th- D. Perry, 3 fish, 7lbs 4.8oz
5th- I. Morris, 3 fish, 3lbs 10.2oz
6th- D. Morris, 2 fish, 2lbs 9.6oz
7th- B. Perry-French, 2 fish, 2lbs 6.6oz
8th- L. Perry-French, 1 fish, 1lbs 4.8oz
