Nathan takes one-two in latest Wyvern award list

PAIGNTON SAA's Keith Nathan features twice in the December fish of the month award list issued by the Wyvern Division.

Nathan's blonde ray of 25-14-11 it top fish in the senior boat category – and his bull huss of 13-0-2 has been placed second.

FINE FISH: Paignton SAA's Rob Jones with a bull huss of 15-8-2 caught over the Skerries
PAIR OF BEAUTS: Tim Hoult and brother Phil went out with charter boat skipper Dave Harrison and brought back these beauties – Tims a specimen ling topping the 20lbs mark and Phil a fine cod
WELL CAUGHT: Chris Martin with his whiting of 3-7-8

Clubmate Serena Gardner makes the list in the junior boat category with a bull huss of 10-12-10. Gardner is nothing if not consistent as she heads the catch return list for November with a 2-8-7 lesser.

A shore-caught conger eel of 41-7-0 has put Torbay & Babbacombe ASA's Simon Kingshot top of his list.

Brixham SAC pair Shay Upham (lsd) and Maitland Criddle (rockling) are second and third in the junior shore category.

November was a better month for Brixham members, and in particular Ciaran Farley, who is first, second and third in the junior shore section!
