Chris Empson won the fourth round of the Bass Rock Summer League in thick fog conditions on Seacliffe Beach by tempting seven fish for a total measure of 134cm.
The Dunbar-based angler, who won the previous match at Cockenzie Walkway, was well ahead of runner-up Jamie McHale (Gifford) who totalled 87cm in the tricky conditions.
Third was Graham Meadows from St Boswells with three fish for 54cm and Norrie Anderson (North Berwick) was fourth with two fish for 37cm.
They were the only anglers to weigh-in after the match fished in good sea conditions.
McHale won the longest fish prize with one of 25cm and round five will be on May 29 at a venue to be decided.
