Last night saw the annual Xmas fur and feather open, which was planned for north shore. When I arrived there I was greeted with 60mph winds and mountainous seas. So I had to make a split second decision to cancel it or to move the match to somewhere that was a lot safer for the anglers taking part. So as a lot of the anglers were already travelling I decided to move it to Rhos on sea promenade for a little shelter and safety of anglers which is paramount to me. With 70 anglers booked in we walked from Rhos slip to near Porth Eirias, in torrential rain and gale force winds putting the pegs out, it wasn't pleasant. It turned out to be a really really tough nights fishing for the anglers taking part.
1st on the night was England International Bill Lindfield who managed to find 4 fish for a total of 1.04m, 2nd went to Dave Evans, his 1st match for a few years, so well done to Dave who had 3 fish for 0.84m, 3rd went to Holyhead's Dave Cave who managed to also find 3 fish for 0.76m,
4th place was shared between local superstars Alan Price and Shane Russell who both had 2 fish for 0.56m.
Longest fish of the match went to Dave Evans who had a whiting of 33cm.
1st in the ladies went to Tanya Denny, 2nd went to Heather Lindfield and 3rd place went to Caroline Aylett.
Juniors 1st place went to Archie Williams, 2nd place went to Morgan Owen, 3rd place went to Sam Collins.
