The first match of our summer league took place at Deganwy last night
21 members turned up , with plenty of peeler crab available it looked good for the usual bags of flounder and some decent specimens. This didn`t prove to be the case though, with most struggling to get more than the odd flounder, and the average size was very small, 25 to 30 cms. for the most part, with the heaviest fish being just 0.54 kgs. ( 1-03-08 lbs.)
This may have been due to the small tide, or possibly the cold fresh water coming down the river.
Halfway through the match we were hit by a squall with heavy rain and then hailstones which lasted for the best part of half an hour and left us even more depressed than before
When it was over I unwrapped the camera and took a couple of shots as it moved off towards Bangor.
By the end of the match it turned out that a few anglers around the signal box area had found several fish, but only 13 of the 21 weighed in, with just 3 finding more than 3 fish.
The winner had 10 flounders and an eel for 2.71 kgs.
2nd had 6 flounders and a rockling for 1.67 kgs.
As for myself, 2 little flounders and a rockling for 0.62 kgs. was enough for 5th place.
