Bell Trophy

2012-01-16T09:31:00.014Z

The Scarborough inter-angling-clubs challenge trophy - the Bell Trophy - which will be competed this year on Sunday February 12th 2012.

The following photos and newspaper clippings have been kindly supplied by George Dunn, Secretary of Scarborough Rock Anglers Society.

The caption reads "Owing to stormy weather not a single bite was recorded when East Yorkshire sea anglers competed on Filey Brigg on Saturday for the bell Trophy. Here are three of the fishermen, Messrs. Pritchard, Peel and Vasey, of the Scarborough teams. The trophy is a bell which was used in Turkey during the war to sound the alarm during gas attacks. The competition will be held again when conditions are more favourable."

Unfortunately there is no date of publication.

The caption reads "The inter-club fishing match for the "Bell" took place at Filey Brigg on Saturday."

Once again no date of publication.

Scarborough Evening News February 2nd 1963.

"Alarm bell of Turkish fort is Scarborough angling trophy.

When I called to see fishing tackle dealer Mr. Edwin Peart he was busy cleaning the Scarborough inter-angling-clubs challenge trophy - the Bell Trophy - which will be competed for on 10th February at Scarborough.

A silver bell is the actual trophy, on which is inscribed the words "Sana 1897".

The trophy, says Mr. Peart, must have had some exciting adventures in its day. It was presented to the Scarborough angling clubs by the late Mr. J. Jubb in 1926.

On the top of the bell is an inscription which says that the bell was used as an alarm by the Turks and it was taken from Fort Chanak on 11th November in 1918.

Mr. Jubb was an engineer in the navy when the bell came into his possession - "I think he did a swop with Lieutenant Robinson, who had got the bell in the first place from the Turks." Mr. Peart recalls.

Sana is thought to be the name of the boat to which the bell belonged.

Five clubs take part in the annual competition, the South Cliff Angling Club, Scarborough Rock Anglers Society, Filey Brigg Angling Club, Scarborough G.P.O. Angling Club and the Whitby Sea Angler Club. This will be the 36th year that the competition has been held.

Prospects for the event do not look too hopeful, however. Fish are too small in size and few in quantity, and the wind will have to change direction if fish are to come inshore on time, says Mr. Peart."

So according to this report in SE News February 1963 this is the 36th year of the competition. Meaning it started in 1927 having been presented the bell in 1926. Therefore 2012 is the 85th year.

The modern day teams come from the following clubs to compete for the Bell Trophy are:-
Bridlington Angling Club
Cloughton Angling Club
Filey Angling Club (make up two teams ever year)
Scalby Mills Angling Club
Scarborough Rock Anglers
Whitby Sea Anglers Association.

Other clubs that have previously competed are:-
Redcar
Bridlington Sea Birds
Dodworth.

Low water 2044 hrs 1.4m.

Sunday nights 4 hr match was fished over low water, 2044 hrs with a predicted ebb of 1.4m. With a northerly sea running and a north westerly breeze, expectations were high. All anglers reported the predicted ebb of 1.4m was more like a 0.9m or lower and many venues had already emptied before the match started. Heavy surging did not help but that did not stop M Garbutt from his 4th win in a row with the heaviest bag for the month. M Beedle found the heaviest fish of the night, 6 lb 04 1/2 oz. 9 anglers were at the scales to weigh 9 fish for 27 lb 04 oz.

1st M Garbutt with 3 fish for 13 lb 3/16oz

High water 2159hrs 4.6m.

Wednesday nights 3 hr match finished right on high water, 2200hrs, 4.6m, with a strong north north westerly sea running. Wind was a strong north westerly on a very mild evening. I have never seen so many lights down Runswick Bay, 20+, as Redcar, Navy and Gentleman's Club was also fishing. Many disappeared as quickly as they arrived, as conditions were against them. Weed was a big problem and so was the drag, as the beach filled up with large swells and then retreated. However the West Pier was the place to be as Matthew Garbutt caught the heaviest fish, and heaviest bag of the month so far 1 codling for 6 lb 06 1/2 oz. This landing was not without some luck or destiny, as it appears to be Matthew's year. Another angler was snagged up with his line around Matthew's as he was reeling the fish in. The other angler snapped his line and Matthew's, with the fish falling down the side of the pier. Fellow WSAA member Neil Inglis told Matthew the bad news but when Neil lifted his drop net, Matthew's fish was suspended from under the drop net. The rotten bottom clip on his trace had caught in the mess of the drop net and the fish was landed. Destiny or what??

3 anglers weighed in 3 fish for 13 lb 10 oz.

1st M Garbutt with 1 fish for 6 lb 7/16oz
2nd N Inglis with 1 fish for 5 lb 1/16oz
3rd J Gilpin with 1 fish for 2 lb 2/16oz.

The Bell Trophy, the inter club fishing competition organised by Scarborough Rock Anglers was fished on sunday 12th February. Anglers met on Marine Drive, Scarborough at 0930 hrs.

After a brief talk by the organisers, detailing fishing times, rules and cautions on where not to park, competitors were set away. Fishing was from 1100-1500 with boundaries from Argyle Gully, (just north of Hayburn Wyke) to coble landing at Filey. Weigh in at Scarborough Angling Social Club 1500-1600. Weather wise, it was a clear dry day with a freshening northerly wind and a little north easterly swell. Water was crystal clear with low water at 1300 hrs on a 1.0m ebb.

81 anglers competed and only 7 weighed in 15 fish for 5 lb 14 oz 06 drams. There were no codlings weighed just 2 billets (coal fish) and 13 dabs.

Low water 2246 hrs 0.6m.

Last night was very trying, one due to the cold weather, -2 deg C (trying to keep bait from refreezing), and two, due to the scarcity of the fish. An ebbing tide, with low water at 2246 hrs, 0.6m, a little easterly swell meant crystal clear water and a with chilly southerly breeze. Anglers had to travel in order to be competitive with local venues just not producing any fish. Out of 12 anglers who fished only 4 were at the scales with 18 whiting for 13 lb 05 oz.

1st M Garbutt with 4 fish for 3 lb 12/16oz

35 of 50 Sunday 5th February 2012.
Slack tide, low water 2043 hrs 1.6m.

Sunday nights 4 hr match had its own draw backs weather wise. The forecasted heavy snow fall just did not materialise. The snow was melting as fast as it had fallen and the warm breeze during the afternoon was stopped as soon as night fell and so did the temperature. On a clear cloudless night, a bright full moon, crystal clear water, very little easterly swell and a gentle south westerly breeze, prospects of a bag of fish were very optimistic. To the north one could see the flickering red dome of light from Tees Sides industries and out at sea to the east, there was a storm brewing with a fine display of lightening. Low water was at 2043 hrs, 1.6m. Some anglers elected to stay at home but its the die hards who stick at it and pick up an odd fish or two, nibbling away at the weights of those in front. In the leader board, D Perrett and A Cass are now separated by only 8 ounce for 6th place with only 15 matches left.

Only 3 anglers were at the scales with 6 fish for 5 lb 05 oz.

1st A Cass with 3 whiting for 2 lb 4/16oz
2nd R Allison with 1 codling for 1 lb 9/16oz
3rd P Horbury with 2 dabs for 1 lb 8/16oz.

34 of 50 Wednesday 1st February 2012.
Low water 1609 hrs 2.4m or high water 2222 hrs 4.2m, slack tide.

Easterly seas, never a good sign, it may stir up the feeding grounds but never seems to produce many fish. With a flooding, slack tide, east south east winds, wednesday nights 3 hr match finished shortly before high water 4.2m. 14 anglers fished, and only 4 managed to weigh in, 4 fish for 4 lb 08 oz. 18th January was the last poor weigh in (10 lb 01 oz, 14 fish) and hopefully things will improve with this cold spell.

1st A Cass with 1 codling for 1 lb 9/16oz
2nd P Horbury with 1 whiting for 1 lb 5/16oz
3rd P Garbutt with 1 whiting for 14/16oz
4th W Atkinson with 1 whiting for 12/16oz.

33 of 50 Sunday 29th January 2012.
High water 1942 hrs 5.0m.

How quickly sea conditions change! Having looked at the sea earlier in the afternoon, a venue was decided on, tackle and bait chosen for the nights fishing. Having driven to the venue it was found to be unfishable. Plan B had to be found quickly. This is just what happened to a number of anglers, the easterly sea had come from nowhere, and was growing with the flood tide. But once high tide was reached it dropped away as fast as it had grown. With a south easterly wind, rain, sleet and snow, sunday nights 4 hr match was fished over high water, 1942 hrs, 5.0m. 17 anglers fished with only 8 anglers at the scales with a disappointing weigh in of 20 fish for 23 lb 02 oz. Being the last match in January, the monthly sweep stake winners are:- M Lamb for Heaviest Bag of 17 lb 09 oz (8th Jan) and Heaviest Fish J Gilpin 6 lb 14 1/2 oz (22nd Jan). That concludes the fishing for the month of January, 364 lb 06 oz was weighed in.

1st M Garbutt with 5 fish for 6 lb 11/16oz
2nd P Short with 5 fish for 4 lb 10/16oz

Wednesday nights 3 hr match started 1 hr 40 mins after high water, 5.7m, on one of the biggest tides for January.

Low water 2143 hrs 1.0m.

Sunday nights 4 hour match finished just after low water 2143 hrs, on what was supposed to be at a height of 1.0m. However the tide ebbed away fast, as the strong westerly wind pushed it back further than expected. Many anglers reporting marks emptying out and new features were visible. With a regular north westerly swell, anglers were keen to be out and made off to their favourite marks. P Horbury was man of the match with 2 codling for 7 lb 09 oz. J Gilpin caught the heaviest fish of 6 lb 14 1/2 oz, which now takes the leader board for the heaviest fish caught in a match for the month of January.

Low water, very slack tide, 1726 hrs 2.0m.

Match 30 of 50, 3/5ths of the season completed and last night was the worst weigh in, beating the previous low by 5 lb 01 oz. Flat calm sea, south westerly breeze, slack tide and crystal clear water. Many anglers opting to travel in the hope of picking up a whiting or two and quite literally that is what happened. Even the whiting are proving harder to find. Eight anglers were at the scales to weigh in 14 fish for 10 lb 01 oz. The previous low was the 1st match of the season was 12 fish for 15 lb 02 oz.

1st R Allison with 2 fish for 1 lb 11/16oz

29 of 50 Sunday 15th January 2012.
High water 2010 hrs 5.3m.

What a difference 24 hrs can make! Friday and saturday saw perfect swell and many anglers from far and wide, made the most of it. With a double figure cod being caught by a previous WSAA member B Harland on saturday night, 11 lb 10 oz. Reports of other double figure fish coming from the west pier. But sadly reports of near fighting on the end of the west pier as one angler with more than one rod decided the end of the pier was his and his alone.
And what of sunday, club night, flat calm sea conditions, a slight south easterly breeze and temperatures near zero? Club members were back to 'scratching' for a few whiting. High water 5.3m was at 2010 hrs. M Garbutt was man of the match with 17 whiting for 13 lb 06 oz with D Hambley catching the only codling. 90 fish were weighed in for 70 lb 05 oz.

Winter is here, at last. Sunday nights 4 hr match started 40 mins after low water on a very slack tide of 2.5m LW and 4.4m HW. A strong and strengthening chilly westerly wind and growing north westerly swell, conditions were ideal. However many spots did not fish as expected probably due to the fact that there is plenty of feed 3 mile off. With local skippers reporting mackerel still being caught and herring in crab pots.

Sunday nights 4 hr match saw 60mph south westerly winds, north westerly swell and a 5.8m high water at 1711 hrs saw flooding on Baxtergate and Sandsend.

Runswick Bay was another popular spot, spoilt however with the mountains of sea weed. With a fast ebbing tide, the swell was soon knocked back, leading to surging, with many local spots soon unfishable. 16 anglers were at the scales with 33 fish for 49 lb 07 oz.
