    Report on-board Upholder

    May Catch Report.

    With the wind coming from the North and East the sea has been far from settled with a Northerly swell for the best part of May.
    As a result of the unsettled weather it has been a real challenge to get out and when we have managed to get out the clarity of the water has been poor.
    Despite the poor start to the season the Civil Service Angling Club fished their qualifying competition out of Amble and Managed to catch 64 Codlings,15 Pouting,6 wrasse,,3 Coalfish and 1 Scorpion fish.
    The Competition was a points Competition run under the NFSA rules with all unwanted fish being returned alive. The Three Anglers to Qualify were Chris Wilkinson, John Cuthbertson And Ian Mitchell who will go onto the National final at Milford Haven.
    Mark Flowers And his Anglers had a good day with each angler catching 6 codlings on average, Nothing really big but all were a good stamp of fish between 4lb to 6lb.
    The biggest Codling in May was 7.5 lb caught by Doug Hutchinson from Carlisle (see photo).
    The best Pollock in May was 9lb caught by Jason Hudson (see photo) who also had a Catfish around 5lb
