But John Passmore was able to bring a couple of fish to the scales to help Triple Hook A with a few needed points taking them up to second place. First with a Rockling of 1lb 3 3/4oz and third with a Dogfish of 2lb 4 1/4oz. Darren Short R&R took second place with a Rockling of 1lb 3oz. Points are still a little tight amongst the top placings.
