I use 2 means of measuring my fish - one is a fish measuring sticker stuck to a flat piece of perspex for measuring flatfish and ray, the other is a fish measuring sticker stuck to a piece of gutter pipe - this is used for round fish as this holds them much better for taking a photo.

We all enjoyed fishing the kayak wars competition and cant wait for next year when hopefully more teams will take part. Kieren wasn't able to get out on the kayak so much (too busy chasing girls!!) but still managed some decent catches. Elliot and myself went whenever time and conditions allowed us too and hopefully next year will all be able to get out more and score more points!
We all caught some cracking fish - Elliot managed some lovely flatfish and caught his first ever ray - a blonde of 10lb (50cm wingspan). Kieren managed a monster Blonde Ray of 23lb 9oz (71cm wingspan) and my most memorable catches of the year were a Conger of 20lb (155cm long), a Blonde Ray around 18lb (66cm wingspan) and a Small Eyed Ray of 9lb 11oz (60cm wingspan). We had a few fun sessions catching Haddock and Whiting from deep water and towards the end of the year had a couple of awesome sessions fishing for ray! Below are a few photos of the bigger/better fish we had over the year:
