I had a great day seven ling to 8lb, one cod of 7lb, and fifteen mackerel and i didn't even fish.

Will post the full result as soon as Sam sends it, or Sam might post it, the little drop of rain sort of prevented the info being copied.

Frasers open boat comp. Results

Managed to dry the results out !!! They got all 'soggy' in the downpour that we had.
There were 97 competitors. 79 in boats over 20 ft and the other 18 in boats under 20 ft. A total of 43 competitors weighed in a total of 318 lb. There was only one kayak entered and this was manned by Tim Anslow, who took a codling of 2 lb 1 oz. Ken McDonald weighed in a Tub Gurnard of 2 lb 9 oz, taken in the under 20 ft class from the "Jo-Lindy-Lou".
The winner of the under 20 ft section was Gareth Thomas in the "Dani K" from Denton Burn with a pollack of 7 lb 10 oz. Gareth won this section last year too. Second was Phil Rippon on the "Fortuna" with a ling of 7 lb 6 oz. Third was Tony Gray on the "Slinky Kate" with a ling of 7 lb 3 oz. Next - on the same boat - was Cliff Garside with a cod of 7 lb 1 oz. Norman White was on the "Slinky Kate" and took a ling of 6 lb 13 ozs. On the same boat, Steve Moore had a ling of 6 lb 4 oz.

Everyone who weighed in received a prize - even including myself (with a cod of 2 lb 9 oz).
Brian (owner of Frasers Angling, Coatsworth Road, Gateshead) has donated £200 to the R.N.L.I.
From myself - I would like to thank everyone for their support in fishing this competition. Without you, it obviously wouldn't go ahead.
Don't forget lads ... the Ian Woods Competition takes place on Sunday 2nd August. Times, venues etc are all as the Frasers Comp. Hope to see you there.

[KeithB]

Alan missed out, could of had another one, Bert left his 8lb cod in a bag next to a plant pot and forgot to take it, when Kyle ran back for it, it had vanished.

just me and the dog have got very healthy appetities for fish, and my son and his family, my daughter and her family, and those that have done me a favour, give them a fillett each, is that being overly generous, no chance of anybody getting the mackerel, just to let you know I like mackerel.

Still only had 1 day this year so far where we bagged up on them Alan

It was great to see a lot of the lads fishing again, but can I take this opportunity to point out that I am in no way connected with the organisation of this competition. I just happened to be there and as things got a bit busy at the weigh-in, I lent a hand.
Congratulations to all the lads who did weigh in and congratulationds to Sam Harris for once again organising a great competiition.
Next year I will be fishing.
