At the scales Secretary Peter Horbury oversaw the weigh-in from five successful members, with two surprise double-figure bags, the first from Brian Harland 11lb 8oz (8), who was pipped for Man of the Match by Bernard Vasey, 13lb 1oz (8).

November‘s fishing started with a severe weather warning on Wednesday November 2, four low pressure systems linked up with a high pressure system over central Europe.

SSWesterly gusting 42mph, and heavy rain. Sea state as flat as a mirror, catch forecast, very low.

Sofa Hole proved popular as the texts kept coming “Not fishing”, for those that remembered to do so, two fished by default.

So just 7 fished an all flood match, it was a long match.

At the scales just 3 members with a meagre weigh-in, 4 codlings and a rockling 6 lb 15 oz.

Man of the Match Ryan Collinson, Robin Hoods Bay, 2 codlings, 1 rockling for 3 lb 06 oz, including HFish 1 lb 08 oz.

In total 4 codlings and 3 rocklings graced the scales for 6 lb 15 oz.
