10.00 am saw the launch and we paddled out to the fishing ground behind Filey Brigg. The sea was giving us a swell of about 3ft to contend with but this was slack water and it would get worse once the tide started running. The fishing was hard work with less than half the anglers getting fish, a mishap round a pot bouy saw me loose my box of lures and my dignity halfway through the match, though my self rescue in a now running tide with a good swell, gave me a certain amount of pride. Having lost my lures I decided to head into Filey bay and bait fish, after an hour with nothing to show I headed in.
On reaching the car park I heard a recall on the vhf, the sea was now really snotty and the match was cut short and anglers were requested to return to shore.
After last years match, this years results were a little disapointing with catch rates and weights well below the 2009 results, never the less, it was still a good event.
