FLAMBOROUGH KAYAK MATCH REPORT AND RESULTS 2012
The match was held at south landing Flamborough on the 26 TH August
With a strong wind blowing Stonefish had em-posed boundary's with the Headland being out of bounds for safety
With event organizer Stonefish and journalist/photographer Simon Everett
That makes 58 kayak anglers preparing to launch
The safety crew for the day was from Hornsea Inshore Rescue and our safety boat was Charity Venture
Stonefish welcomes crew member Neil Crawthorne to Flamborough
After a safety briefing covering a few issues with the weather etc
58 kayak anglers prepered to launch
Simon Everett paddled to the middle to photo the pack passing
The fishing would be hard and more a scratching match than the search for a big one
The anglers were fishing for 1 large fish for the scales and a bag of Mackerel for a big bag
Neil swims back to Charity to commence the safety for the day
With the boundary's in place deep water was a struggle to find
So many kayak hitting the water at one time makes a splash
Some opting for a slow start
One of the 1st to catch was Sam Baxter (Yakin Sam)
Here he displays a school Bass
Much to Sam's disappointment it did not meet the Bass Scale size so he released it to swim for another day
The Kayak Sam used was very familiar with the area this surely would be an advantage at finding these allusive fish
Some opted to stay close and fish in small groups
All though the sun had come out it was windy but what a view the the anglers got of the south side of the head
Last years event was dominated by the ocean range of kayaks
It was great this year to have so many new company's yaks there and more trusty old ones the kayakers know and love
And the 2 glass company's with a great fleet on the water
4 Stealth kayaks and around 10 Dorado,s made a nice sight at Flamborough
Some of the kayakers stayed close and in the clam shelter of the sea cliffs
some opting for the fury of the head
The large swell and breaking waves had made a natural boundary wall no kayaker would of wanted to cross
Although both Stonefish and Richie went for a close look at the natural wonder , most kayakers stayed well clear
The result of 2 people 2 photos at the same time
The fishing was hard with open water out the question
Ian Pickering (Tanglefoot) here show off his Coalfish
Last years 2nd place winner Dean Drew was struggling this year
We had Juniors this year
Some of the juniors got a helping paddle hand by Dad
Pete Carr along with Andy Money & Stonefish had put up the kids prizes
Jeff Elliot (01kayak) here with his fish and jester hat it seem kayakers like funny hats
As you see in the back ground Charity was never far away
Is it a whopper or the sea bed
As the hours drew on the fishing improved for some
Ryan turner getting most of his fish in the last 40 Min's
A bag of rubby dubby was the solution for one angler called Jonas (Glenn) getting a great amount of fish coming to him
A radio call was made to the Yorkshire Bell by Stonefish informing her of the presence of 58 kayak anglers
She gave a wide berth and was thanked
It was like usual fishing businesses for Andy Money (Andy M) with billet after billet
When approached by Stonefish for a picture he landed a new all time billet record around 2.5 inches of squirmy billet the photo was not great
You can do every thing you can to have a safe match but some things are out of your control like weather and this jet ski
At 2.30 a radio announcement was made to remind the kayak anglers there was half an our left
This was repeated at 10 minute intervals until 3 pm
The scales opened and fish were weighed and counted
It was decided the results and prize giving would be done at the camp site
With the fishing being so close it took Stonefish around an hour to work the results
It had even come down to comparing fish for Length and example of species
Gray (Graham Scott) and Hoggy (Neil Hogg) had examples of the species that were truly awesome a macky around 50 cm long and a flatty that was like a dinner plate
They were awarded a bottle of spirit each for there fish by Colin Welburn and Alain Storey for the examples of species
The prizes would be up to 10th place for both the Macky Bash and Biggest Fish

A raffle was had and seemed to go on a long time
Most people who did not get a great fish got something in the raffle
Hugh had sent a signed copy of his book
Stonefish actioned this and made an extra £40 for the life boats
A Camera that ha also slipped the prize table was later auctioned and made a further £60
The Day was put on to make money for the lifeboats and made
£1216.00 for the rnli and hornsea boats
Thanks to all who attended and all the sponsors for your support
Stonefish (event organizer)
on a personal note
The winner Neil Hogg (Hoggy) had a kayak named the Yellow Submarine for a reason
Neil made the most of the kayak he had and fishes well
Some time people win a prize and later find they don't need or want it
Neil has now a brand new FATYAK KAAFU kayak and is very happy and the kayak wont be going any where any time soon
ONE VERY HAPPY HOGGY

From Spurn Point to Runswick Bay
The Yorkshire coast offers offers some of the best fishing available
As the crow flys there is over one hundred miles of coast
As the kayaker paddles more like over a thousand miles of weaving bays rocky outposts , long beaches , cliffs , piers and harbors we have it all
Yorkshire is famous for lots of things tea , puddings but the jewel in her crown is the sea
The great Yorkshire coastline 3 fantastic matches at 3 fantastic locations
starting north working south Runswick bay is beautiful with great fishing were the place is as nice as the fish
the beaches are clean with friendly local people
next we have Scarborough with parking easy and a simple launch
with plenty for the family to do the fishing is a mixed bag with many different species living there
at the top of Holderness we have Flamborough a amazing place were the sea races round flamborough head making the fishing amazing and scenery to boot
Runswick is the match were anglers meet party and fish offering a challenge to the competitive angler as well as fun for the novice
Scarborough is a great match for competition last years winner won a scupper pro , with prizes like that this is a must for the competitive angler
Flamborough is a social meet with a few prizes for the biggest fish with a fantastic atmosphere great for a play at competitive fishing
with a coast as great as this and 3 kayak matches as great as this surely if you not in Yorkshire you should come and see what we have to offer!
PS The site at flam will be busy as its a bank holiday im working on sercuring more pitches but please book early !!

On Saturday i met up with Col and Mally for a spot of kayak fishing
The plan was head to North landing Flamborough for a go bouncing hokeyes and other shiny and coulurful stuff off the sea bed
Youtube Video ->Original VideoWhen we got there it was lumpy and very very cold
Mally and Col are brave souls but yhis is to much this cold
We opted to go South instead as the sun may help
It was a lot nicer on the South side of the head
It looks nice and sunny but it is god dam frezzing
It is best to keep dry when its cold but a launch here requires wet feet
We were armed with jigging stuff and here the water was a little coulered
we had a few unsucsessful drifts
The tide was running very fast so we dicieded to hook up to a crab bouy
The bouy seemed to take forever to get to
We were not equiped to bait fish so armed with a mackeral and hokeyes stared to fish for whiting and flat fish
we got a few of each and put a few back
2 other kayak anglers past us on the drift aproxx 20 miles an hour
I felt for them knowing what paddle back lay ahead
after about an hour a crab boat wanted to be at his bouy
my feet were cold now so it was good to get moving again
we went to some kelp beds to drift our macky over it in the hope of a hungry cod
2 shore anglers were doing the same
We were getting cold so we called it a day mid after noon
I got home and still had cold feet
i set about turning fish into tea
I filleted the whiting and flatty
put em in a dish added garlic salt , pepper butter and some lemon
This warmed my feet up nicley stood in front of the rayburn
i cooked it on 5 bits of wood heat for 15 mins
i took it out and poured the jucie away and gave it another 5 mins
Result warm feet and tea was lovley
