Machine Shop Beach Fishing Club hosted the first open competition of 2008 which proved to be a resounding success for Antony Stanyon and myself. Stanyon the clubs Chairman and Webmaster returned 4lb 9oz to the scales and was presented with the first prize of £190. I picked up a total of £205 with one Flounder of 2lb 6oz which took the sweeps for best specimen, heaviest fish and sixth place overall. Second place went to Richard Smith who received £120 for his weight of 3lb 6oz and third was Dave Snook who picked up £95 with 2lb 13oz. Out of the 100 entrees only 21 returned fish or weigh in slips to the scales and as Callum Knight was the only junior to catch he was given the pick of the table. The pairs sweep went to Dave Snook and Dave Jupe with a combined weight of 5lb 5oz.
