Brian Harland nets his third Whitby Sea Angling Association League title

Brian Harland receives the Championship trophy from WSAA Secretary Peter Horbury.

WSAA Treasurer Dave Perrett said: “Another year comes to a close for Whitby Sea Anglers Association, fishing from late September to the end of March.

"The season started out well with plenty of fish landed on the Whitby coast predominately of codlings, but one difference this season was the odd Haddock landed, three were weighed in this season within our club matches I can only remember one being weighed in and that was many years ago. I managed to land one, my first ever shore caught haddock.

"Into the New Year, and fishing tailed off for many but still some good bags of fish occasionally came to the scales when the weather was right.
