Richard Ellicott with a fine Turbot of 19lb.............
...............which was part of a 19 fish haul. Nine were in double figures
including the 19lb and two of 17lb. June 2004
Absolutely glorious......yep, the fish, the weather and the angler!! Mike Whitehurst from Bournemouth was absolutely chuffed to bits with his new Channel Island record Turbot of 28lb 2oz caught aboard Random Harvest out of Poole harbour. His first ever, fantastic!! June 2004 
I can do it too! A fine Bass at 11lb 8oz which was plug caught. This was my second double figure bass ever because half an hour before................
...........I had this other 10lb 8oz beauty. Cracking session with five other fish caught with local charter skipper Stuart Trought. October 2004
Don't need to go far here. Back home (Portsmouth) you need to travel long distances to find good quality fish on a regular basis but here it is on your doorstep. My first craft I used here was a 16 foot strikeliner.
Nigel Bowditch from Southampton above and below had a cracking festival. These are just two of his fish caught. The Couches Sea Bream above was 89% of the Alderney record at 1lb 10oz and won him top prize in the under 5lb section best specimen and the 21lb Blonde Ray which made 68% never got a look in on the over 5lb section due tot he amount of Tope. October 2004
Steve Harder (whom I thank for the photos), also from Southampton, did a little better than Nigel. He won the top UK angler section with four fish on the board. The above Plaice went 2lb 12oz and the Tope below crashed the scales to 41lb. The night before the festival started Steve had one of 48lb which would have been, at that point, a new Channel Island record, but rather than grab prizes outside of the festival Steve put the fish back. October 2004
Two Dutch anglers, Jan (above) and Kiki (below), with two of thee more colourful fish of their three week stay here, a cuckoo wrasse and a red gurnard. They transported their own boat all the way from Holland so they could explore every nook and cranny around Alderney. Keen or what.........?
