Braintree Sea Angling Club’s final evening boat match for the year was fished on the charter boat Enterprise out of West Mersea.  After half an hour on so on the initial mark a move was made to a spot back up the estuary with more shelter from the south westerly wind for a more comfortable fish.  Fishing on the ebb tide it was mainly whiting that were caught with a few dogfish, pout and one thornback ray to Robin Joy.  Although there were quite a few whiting caught finding fish to meet the 30cm minimum size was challenging. With half an hour to go it was close with only a couple of fish separating the top three anglers but it was Chris Leonard who came out on top with a second dogfish in the last 10 minutes to give him the lead from Barry Tankard and Barrie Senior. The final scores were Chris Leonard 81 points from his catch of 2 dogfish and 9 whiting,  Barrie Senior 1 dogfish and 9 whiting for 72 points and in third place Barry Tankard with 65 points from his catch of 1 dogfish and 8 whiting.  Chris will receive the Boduc Cup as the overall boat champion for the year with two wins and a third place.  Runner  up was Barrie Senior with three second places and in third position was Brian Grundy with one win and two fourth places.
