  5. Jimmy Fitzsimmons. 13.11

So not bad day for Barney’s if the wind had changed round or dropped altogether it could well have been a bit different
Well done to john who gave us all a good lesson today

25 May: Not a bad evening for the Thursday match on Barney’s shore. After bright sunshine in the day it clouded over and the wind got up a bit. Here are the results..

  1. Joe van der spek. 30.04lb
  2. Gary Chandler. 18.09lb
  3. Ray Carpenter 15.01 lb
  4. Andrew Riley. 11.01lb
  5. Dave Oddy. 7.02lb

So not to bad an evening and most fish were caught close in on the whip at least you could get away from the pike a bit quicker hit and drag tactics for most of the evening

27 May: A great day weather wise but not to good for fishing. A bit bright and windy for the trip to the Mud Flats. So here are the results..

  1. Michael Fitzpatrick. 1.13lb
  2. Robert howgate. 1.11lb
  3. Joe van der spek. 1.09lb
