Hi Rushy,
He started on the roker pier, fishing for mackerel. He then used the mackerel he caught to use at the rathouse. He used the white belly, cutting into strips. So his bait cost him nowt.
Also well done on catching the wrasse.

Glad to read that you hadnt gutted it or ate it, apparently theyre really bony anyway!
I really hope that the young lad gets his record, as Tadpoleman says theres a lot involved and it took him years to get his ratified but it will be worth it in the end. In the meantime i would be contacting the magazines and papers and getting his name in lights and you never know he may get some prizes aswell.

It'll be definitely something to be proud of, if he does get the record. People have told me he should enter the competitions for 'fish of the week' etc in the fishing magazines, to try and win some fishing tackle. He'll have me going to the newsagents tomorrow buying all the fishing mags on the shelves.

I'll look into it tomorrow Trev. I'm guessing if i send them an email with pictures, that should be ok. As i said earlier, you'd think i caught it, i'm thrilled to bits for him.

Congrats to your boy, fantastic!
I too have given up on WSF, full of bullies who spend more time on their computers, slagging off others, than actually fishing. NESA is a great site with really kind and helpful anglers. So glad I joined.

Thanks a lot great advice Bert. Mr Harris came to mine this afternoon to take photos and a chat with Morgan. A real nice man and very knowledgeable.
I've also spoke to Mr Charlton via PM and he's told me to keep in touch, which i intend to.
The fish was weighed at Andy's shop and said the scales had just been calibrated and gave me a signed verification. I know it's the BRFC verification that counts, but their scales arn't going to be any different from Andy's.
As for entering comps in mags, i think i'm going to need your help as how to go about it if you don't mind, or you can PM me.
I'd like to thank everyone for their continuing best wishes to our Morgan.
