Sea Angling Competition off Plymouth's Breakwater


Sea anglers line up for a competition held on the breakwater at Plymouth Sound judged by sea angling expert and television presenter Ted Tuckerman. Ted presented a fishing spot called Tight Lines and represented England at international level, first as part of the angling team and then as its manager. Pictured are sea bass and a landed ballan wrasse which wins the competition, both are common to UK waters. The breakwater is an ideal fishing spot only rarely open to the public.
