Patrick Keogh and his angling buddies Joe White and Aidan Cox were out again this week fishing for tope from the shore.

The trio fished one of Weford’s beaches and on the night the honours went to Joe White. Fishing a wire tope trace Joe hooked into a very solid fish which fought well for fifteen minutes, making several runs. Eventually Joe played it out and Aidan was on hand to tail it.

After a few quick photos the shark was returned to the sea.
