New junior club record




 15 year old Colby Clipstone landed a record breaking 14lb Undulate Ray last week taking the record for Sandown and Lake AS. Colby who attends Sandown High School was fishing alongside many of the anglers in the UK Hooks open but was not booked on himself when he hooked into the fish. Despite missing out on the open prizes Colby was over the moon with his catch which was officially identified and weighed the next day by Scotties Tackle.
