Day 8 Results

Today's winner was A Varley from Leeds who is a newcomer to the festival and infact states he had never picked up a fishing rod in his life before today. Fishing on heartbeat Mr Varley wound in a ling of 17 pounds 11 ounces which was enough to earn him £50 as a daily winner.

It was good news on the cod front with a new category leader. Dave Pickard landed a cod of 13 pounds 10.5 ounces from John Whitton's Never Can Tell A. There's a new leader in the specimen category too with a Pollock of 10 pounds 6 ounces taking the lead for Niel Sawdon of Bansley Who fished on 2 doggs.

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.

Again there is another leader in the cod section. Local angler Tony Morrison from Whitby had 3 double figure cod today the biggest weighing just over 15 pounds. Tony fished on Trot On with his colleagues from the local Potash mine at Boulby.
