SAMF Masters, Otterspool.

Mark, Les and myself fished this one over the weekend. It had been fishing well up to the weekend so hopes were high that it would fish well for codling and whiting . The results would go on your zone position over the two days. It was a length to weight conversion match so the bigger bonus fish counted highly. I was given a chane to draw disabled pegs which I took .our result were not good I came19th out of 22 in a. Zone with 3fish for 26points, dad was 14th in his zone with 9fish for150 and mark was 13 th in his zone with 6fish for 157 points. Whiting flounders codling rockling eels and dabs were caught . Biggest fish of the day was a 6pound cod for Mike Hughes from Bangor. Peeler crab was best bait over the weekend.2nd day better weather today and we all hoped to improve on day one.Mark had a bit of a stinker in b zone with 2fish for27points for 14th in zone, I had 6fish for 135points and 12th in my zone and dad did quite well with 7fish for 164points to get 7th in his zone.

Well done to all who fished. Even though we didn't do great, it was good to catch up with some friends from around the country and fish with some of the best anglers in the world.

another great match Steve, always have a laugh and a good catch up
