With fishing reports being worse than normal on the North Norfolk shoreline, expectations were not high for this combined event, one consellation was that the weather wasnt as bad as it had been of recent, it looked like good fishing conditions similar to the last teams fo 5 where most were bagging up on whiting and dabs.

Teams of 5 line up to compete from the blockhouse to the wreck.

Those HSAC members who were not involved with the teams event were all down at Weybourne near the pipe, with only John Neave and Bob Thomson managing a fish each , prospects were low for everyone.

Richard Ives was pegged up next to the blockhouse and managed 5 fish which gave him top slot in HSAC, with Bob Thompsons one fish netting him second place, 3rd was Peter Loke also with one fish, and in joint 4th were Tony Thomas, John Neave and Billy Temple the rest of the HSAC members did not record fish to minimum size limits.

The teams of 5 was also tough going with the section winners only managing a couple of pounds in weight.Overral Winner was J.Carter (section D) with 4 fish for 2lb 2 2/3oz, 2nd place went to C. Leggett with an impressive 10 fish for 1lb 13 1/3 (section A), 3rd place went to P.Tovell with 9 fish for 1lb 13 1/3oz.

Concentration and tactics can pay dividends..

Section results showed the lack of fish from the blockhouse all the way to Weybourne, lets hope the fishing picks up a little.
