The longest fish was recorded by Arbroath angler Stewart Falconer with a 34cm flounder.

Kirkcaldy-based Chris Horn, one of the organisers, said the venue did not fish anywhere near its potential, possibly because of a smaller tide.

Elsewhere, George Harris (Dunshalt) won the first leg of the summer league organised by the Kirkcaldy-based St Serfs sea fishing club with 336 points.

Colin Hay (Kirkcaldy) was second on 327 points and he landed the longest fish at 36cm.

Michael Abrahams (Kirkcaldy) was third on 120 points with David Erskine (Kirkcaldy) fourth on 41 points, with Ian Crombie (Dysart) and Frank McFarlane (Buckhaven) tied on 39 points for fifth place.
