Jonathan Stanway has won Combe Martin Sea Angling Clubs Summer Lure Competition BIG FISH OFF with a bass of 31cm.
The fish off was organised following the two month long lure fishing competition resulting in a draw for the runner up spot with Jonathon Stanway, Ross Stanway and Daniel Welch all catching bass of 55cm. The Lure competition was won by Danny Watson of High Street Tackle who kindly donated the prize of a top quality HTO Nebula Lure Rod to the runner up.
Dan Welch sent me this write up on an enjoyable afternoon at a well known North Devon headland.
“Awesome weather and company including a number of seals but the fishing was slow despite trying various hard and soft lures including surface and sub surface lures. Bright clear conditions meant we were all hopeful of some surface lure action but only one fish took a surface lure. A lot of ground was covered fishing deep kelp covered gullies and I think we nearly killed Danny with the amount of walking and rock hopping we did. The winning fish was caught on a bright green size 4 fiiish lure. Danny also caught on a small pachinko surface lure. Despite a number of garfish following various lures the were no signs of other fish. Despite the lack of fish it was a great afternoon.”
