Farquhar Fails Against Finn in Flounder Fishing
it wasn't a fluke that Graham Finn won the latest Caithness sea angling competition, he certainly showed the locals how to fish their own beach.  Way out in front with 19 Flounders for a total of 563cm in second place was local match angler Keith Farquhar with 5 flounders and in third place was Steve Nicholas with 4 flounders. With such a good surf running every one was surprised that no bass were caught. Unusual catch of the day was a small Turbot for Castletown angler Donnie McNicol.
Several of Graham's flounders were over 2lb in weight the attached picture is of one flounder weighing in at 2lb 4oz,
positions so far in the club league are as follows;
7 points Graham Finn
6 points Keith Farquhar
5 points Steve Nicholas
4 points Terry Mcneil
3 points Patricia Heath
2 points Michael Berkly
The next competition is to be held at Longberry Wick with a reserve venue of Reiss sands in case of bad weather
