Brian ended the year with a wonderful brace of bull huss. The one on the left, caught at Strete, weighed 11 lbs 8 ozs and the one on the right, caught at Dartmouth Promenade, weighed 10 lbs 8 ozs.
Last year's species hunt was won by Bob Spencer with 52 species while Brian Gale was second with 32. I was third with 24 species while Tony was hard on my heels with 22. Well done to all who took part.
For any new members wishing to take part in this competition, we allow members to take telephone pictures of their captures and send them in to me for recording at

Please bear in mind though, that this only applies to the Species Hunt prize, which Brixham Bait and Tackle has very kindly offered to sponsor. For all other prizes, you will need to weigh in as normal.
The best of luck to you all!
