With the arrival of the summer species most anglers were able to weigh in on the latest Braintree S.A.C. match over Orfordness.
However, a large amount of weed is still present at the moment, and coupled with the strong tide run at this venue, is restricting catches. It’s hoped that once this weed disperses in the coming weeks the fishing will improve dramatically with large numbers of dogfish expected, along with the occasional bass and smoothound.
Despite the weed, Colin Crocker claimed his second win of the season with 2 dogfish and a dab for 2lb 13oz, whilst Peter Costin also had 2 dogfish for 2lb 6oz and second spot. Of those that only had 1 sizeable fish to weight in, junior member Robert Maples had the best fish, a 1lb 6oz dogfish, for third spot.
