CBVSAC Fur and Feather. Tan Lan. 19/12/09.

A poor weather forecast may have been one of the reasons for the worst turnout in the history of this fixture, with just 14 members making the effort. This meant that the raffle had over 30 prizes in it, and some did very well out of it.



As for the fishing, well, the weather started bad and got worse, there was floating weed in the surf, festooning the lines, and the in-size whiting were very hard to find amongst the little ones.

Club champion John Jones took the top prize with 4 whiting and a rockling for 0.92 kgs, just pipping Bill McLintock by 20 grammes, Bill`s 3 whiting and a dab weighing in at 0.90. 3rd was Mike Jones with 4 whiting for 0.86, and 4th Dave Lunt with 3 whiting and a dab for 0.84.

The pools went to Bill Mclintock with a whiting of 0.33 and Dave Lunt with a dab of 0.18. 12 weighed in, but there was a prize for everyone as usual.

Thanks for the report Kev.
Good to hear that the humble Rockling made the difference

A humble Rockling each meant between me and Terry both beat the blank and so could pack up over an hour before the end of the match to go and sit in the nice warm club house

Both well down the prize list but the raffle made up for it

Great effort Kev.

Some nice prizes there mate.

All the best for Christmas and New year.
