Yer it is Kieth

Well done lads good to see a comp and safety in numbers for you lads along with money for your local life boat

Fishing at this time of year patchy but a near 6lb cod was still worth winning it

 

[KeithB]

The boat comp we were fishing was won with a 10lb bag so that's a crackin catch from the Yak.

A great report well done to all participants. As already mentioned the safety in numbers is great. I would love to try it but petrified lol

A special mention for the sponsors of the comp also, without the backing I have no doubt the meets and comps would still go on regardless, but the fact that these sponsors are found or come forward does help to make all the difference for both present and future events in the sport. Well done.
