On Sunday 2nd March Anglers Den Open Beach Competition was held in Pevensey Bay. This years comp proved to be very popular, filling up (max 80 anglers) the week before the comp.
Unfortunately the weather (yet again!) decided to play a major role with the day starting bright and breezy but by the end of the comp the wind had increased to almost a gale with rain as well.
