Roker pier fund raiser comp

[toonboymc]

Fished the comp for young Derek today with the old man today we fished from 10 in the morning until 1 1/2 hrs before comp started at the barrier not a sniff then jimmy Cranston set up next to us
, never again what a jooner I got snagged straight away then my reel broke my dad's line got wrapped around the end of his rod
Comp started very windy and not a lot catching tried everything frozen blacks. Oiled blacks. Fresh lug. Muscle. Squid. Makki and rasor last hour changed 2 a flapper rig with tiny hooks and dropped it over the side
A nice little pouting to save the blank

And to start the species hunt
Finished fishing an hour early to go back to the weigh in for a sneeky pint and it was a great turn out raising over £2 grand for Derek and family and on the bonus side won a bottle of cherry brandy liqueur in the raffle which I gave to her in doors just before I mentioned I'm off out Monday night marsden area

Great turnout today. Shame you can't weigh rocklings in, I'd have been laughing. At least I managed to win a nice filleting knife in the raffle. Good to see some faces from NESA at the weigh in and great to see so much money raised for a great cause.

 

[Charlton]

certainly a great day for the little lad, bigger turnout than some opens and no big cash prizes needed to draw them
