The sea urchin helped land local angler Simon Oxby a daily festival win last Wednesday during the w.s.ca. autumn fishing festival,
Simon landed his ling (22.5lbs) just after slack water on one of the many ledges just off Whitby, taken on fresh mackerel, after the fish made a few runs Simon soon had the fish off the bottom and with the help of the skippers gaff safe on board,
Simon won £50 for the daily first prize, as it turned out the third heaviest fish caught in the w.s.c.a. festival,
Simon says he will be booking for next years festival aboard the sea urchin, and who can blame him with £10,000 worth of prize money up for grabs during the summer festival alone.
