The first match of the New Year was extremely breezy for members of Saundersfoot Sea Angling Club, with 35 mph winds blowing in members' faces on Pendine beach. Fishing was good, with 11 out of 14 anglers weighing in - it would have been 12, but Mel Matthews lost his catch when a wave turned over his bucket.
