STORM BEACH

25th saw an end to a fairly busy sporting week, with a match on the shingle storm beaches of Deal and Walmer. Started well and had 17 fish in the first 3 hours - including a codling and 3 dogfish. Then caught nothing further!

It was snaggy where I was which really restricted my fishing to shorter distance. As it was lost 2 sets of tackle and 6 hook snoods!

The top weight of the year so far - 20lb - won, which was almost double my fairly respectable weight.

It was very windy throughout, but as it was mostly offshore it remained easily fishable. With only 3 matches left this year the championship is now practically out of sight, but there is still plenty to go for.
