Bridlington North Beach 10th December 2011

The third and final match for the Yorkshire region beach qualifiers took place on the 10th December at Bridlington North beach.

Nine anglers turned up to fish with conditions ideal for whiting, but the fish had other ideas and the fishing was very slow for the 
first half of the match. hen the tide started to ebb the fish turned up, not in great numbers but enough to improve the mood of the anglers.

1st    Martin Bradshaw       366cms
2nd   Alan Walsh               264cms
3rd   Graham Bowers         94cms
4th    Des Kay                   193cms

6th    Scott Moore                98cms
7th    Ken Gelder                 95cms
8th    Bob Norton                 55cms
9th    Harry Whitley             22cms

A total of 66 fish caught for a overall total of 1479cms.

The final standings after the three matches are :-

1st    Alan Walsh                 2 points
2nd   Martin Bradshaw         3 points
3rd    Adrian Horner             8 points 1279 cms overall length

2012 Qualifiers - 

SCOTLAND 
2011 Qualifiers - George Hanley, Iain Graham & Raymond Irvin
SOUTHERN - 20.04.11 Weston shore, Southampton

Although the weather was hot , sunny with light winds the conditions were not conducive for encouraging the fish to feed last Wednesday.  The presence
of
two oyster dredging boats continually going round and round close inshore to where we were fishing also I believe did not help our cause. 

For the first four and a quarter hours it looked as though no sizable fish at all were going to be caught but at 14:15 Martin Harris caught a 33 cm flounder 
and it looked as though this would be enough for victory. However shortly before the 16:00 "up lines" James Windebank caught a 29 cm flounder quickly followed by a 35 cm bass to give him a total bag of 64 cm.  The bass being the longest fish also won James the optional pool of £18.  

The result only gives us 2 qualifiers for the 3-person team for the National Final in November so a further event is arranged later in the year with the winner qualifying as the 3rd member of the team.  This will be held at Hordle Cliff near Milford-on-Sea on Friday 23 September 2011 fishing between 18:00 and 23:00.  Entry is free to members who took part in the first event but £3.00 for others.  

2011 Qualifiers - John Downing, James Windebank & Barry Davies
WALES 

Unfortunately only two anglers fished the qualifier so under the news rules they are the only ones eligible to attend the final.
