This annual Tope match took place on Sunday 5th August in glorious sea conditions and weather.

Getting fresh bait whilst travelling out proved somewhat difficult but perseverance paid off with Scad and a few mackerel being caught.

After a slow start the Tope began to appear and although somewhat on the small size over 20 were caught and all safely returned to the sea during the day.

Other Species brought on to the boat included Undulate Ray, Thornback Ray, Blonde Ray, Spotted Ray, Conger Eel, Mackerel, Scad and Whiting.
