Only 6 competitors came to the weigh in at the boat house at 4pm.

The top rod and the winner of the over 50s competition was Bill Rankin, with 10 fish at 4lbs 14ozs. In second place was Alan Miller, with 7 fish at 4lbs 11ozs.

A total of 23 fish were caught by the six competitors, all boat fishing.

Lee Lindop was top rod, with 8 fish at 4lb 3oz.

Second was Harry Lindop, with 3 fish at 1lb 9ozs.
