Burnham-On-Sea anglers reel in more bumper catches

The busy start to Burnham-On-Sea's winter fishing season continued this week with another record-breaking catch.

Young Chris Georgiou reeled in an 11lb 9oz Bull Huss during the second competition of the season for members of Burnham Boat Owners Sea Angling Association.

John was also third with a Bull Huss of 10lb 2oz. Nigel Devey was fourth with a 20lb 8oz conger.

Pete Nicholson won the pool competition with a 12lb Thornback Ray
