AGM Match
The annual AGM match took place the day after, in perfect conditions at Chapel Point. Unfortunately, the fish were hard to come by, but Grimsby ace Adie Cooper made good use of his prodigious casting skills, to catch 9 dabs and 3 whiting measuring 276cm in total, winning the Healey Cup. Some way behind in second place came Paul Denholm, with 3 whiting, a flounder and a small coalfish for 111cm. He also won the longest round fish prize with his best whiting, which hit the measure at 33cm. Karl Nangle made it a clean sweep for Grimsby anglers, taking third place with 4 dabs for 85cm. Croxton’s Dave Burr struggled to catch just 2 dabs, but won the longest flatfish prize with a 28cm specimen.
