CONNOR Hallett bagged second place at the West Bay Angling Club’s Saturday junior match and now sets his sights on representing England at the Home Internationals in Ireland.

Eleven junior members and two guests competed in the latest match from East Pier, which was the best turnout so far this year.

Though it was a dry day the fish did not seem to be about in great numbers with only five anglers catching fish.

FOURTEEN members fished the first Thursday night rover of the summer months.

Many of the competitors chose to fish West Bay, and this proved a good decision as the winner of the match was located at East Beach and the competitor with the heaviest fish fished the pier.

Almost half the competitors failed to catch any fish but Mark Kershaw who fished Burton Bradstock did catch a bass.

1 Tony Colls, 4kg 195g (five dogfish), 2 PJ Wheeler, 4kg 115g (five dogfish and one pout), 3 Craig Horton, 3kg 860g small-eyed ray
