Despite a strong northerly wind and rough seas, Skegness Pier Angling Club (SPAC) Match 22 fished well at North Shore Road, with everyone catching fish. Long distance casting was an advantage and Grimsby ace Adie Cooper made the most of his prodigious long casts, to run out easy winner of his third SPAC match on the trot. Using lugworm wraps tipped with squid or mackerel, Adie had a number of triple shots of whiting and dabs, winning the Shipstone Cup with 24 fish measuring 703cm.
