Thanks to all the anglers who supported this years uptide festival as well as me and the boat, this year we won two daily events with Russel an angler from Mattlock taking the boats first daily prize with a ling of 6lb 12 oz which won him £50 he also won the heaviest any other species overall £100, and Karl Reid from Pickering came third overall with a nice cod of 9lb 3.5oz which also won him a daily prize of £50 as well as third place overall £200 total prize money £400    well done to you all.

the fishing was Hard this year with unpredictable and unsettled weather most of the week although we had a decent number of cod each day nothing bigger than Karl’s 9lb 3.5oz cod could be found all week and looking at the final results you can see only oz’s separated the first three places anyway some days are always more productive than others but that’s fishing everyone had a good time and I enjoyed everyone’s company so thanks again for getting the sea urchin II up on the leader board once again, here are a few pics I took during the week please feel free to send me your photos I will be happy to post them up for you Mick.
