Newbiggin open 2011

[davidhayley1945]

A few people didn't realise the quality or amount of prizes last year, some thought it was just a sweepstake with cash prizes for the top 3.
So here's a photo of all the prizes from last years open. Expect more of the same this year.
And yes, just to clarify, "No person shall use edible crab (cancer pagurus) for fishing bait."

good luck for your open sam ,just seen a cracking picture of liam with his coaly well done liam soon be wacking your dad , davy.

Hi Davy,
Liam's already "whacked" me a few times! He's had a 10lb pollack and 7 1/2lb cod from our boat a couple of years ago and he's had better bags than me and his brother Steven in quite a few club comps.
