Combe Martin SAC members held their annual festive fish over the Christmas and New Year period with a handful of members braving the elements. Several members targeted grey mullet a species that just a few decades ago would have been considered a fish of the warmer months. The winner of the competition was Daniel Welch with a specimen thick lipped mullet of 4lb. Runner up was Wayne Thomas with a dogfish of 2lb 7oz.
Combe Martin SAC member John Shapland did not enter the club competition but still continued to seek the thick lipped grey mullet that are his speciality. A personal best of 5lb 7oz and a smaller specimen of 4lb 6oz were his reward for enduring a bitingly cold North East wind.
