Trot On skipper Paul Eddon certainly knows how to find the big ling at the moment. Mike Bess fishing on Pauls boat is already in first place overall in the festival and today another Trot On angler took second place with a ling of just half an ounce less than Mike's. Steve Read from Doncaster was the lucky angler with a ling of 20 pounds. Stev also got a third place daily prize today with another ling of 15 pounds 7 ounces.

Unfortunately I did not get a snap of today's winner but I did get a couple of interesting pics of this young 6 year old who fished on Saxon Lady and caught a ling of 8 pounds and apparently managed to reel it in all on his own.



He's struggling to keep hod for the second pic.
