Salthouse 7th June 2009
Rough seas, strong wind and bloody rain was the main factor affecting us at Salthouse, the sea looked perfect for some Bass to show, but conditions were far from ideal for comfortable fishing, the first casualties of this match were Colin Howard and John Neave who both struggled to hold bottom and gave up within the first two hours, that was probably a wise decision, Sam “The Hat” Attew was the first to connect with a fish so there was no way we could cancel the match now although the thought had crossed my mind.Sam continued to catch following up with two Bass and giving him an easy victory , next to Sam was Nicole and Dene who were struggling along with everyone else, but this area of the beach proved to be the right spot with Nicole finding two flounders in the last hours of the match giving her a second place and Dene copying his wifes tactics also managed a 22cm flounder saving the blank in the last few casts.Everyone else failed to connect with a fish and I think everyone was more than pleased when the match finished at 2.30pm as the heavens opened and it rained long into the night.
Lets hope next weeks Summer Open at Kelling will provide us with more sport and hopefully better weather.
