Is this for members only?

anyone can turn up, it is purely a friendly thing and just for laughs.
the total length of all catches is going to take it and anyone with any kind of mobility issues needs to get there early because we will not be the only people on the beach.
hope the welsh Lads see this!

I believe Mike T is going to send us a rig wallet or something for this as well.

Do you guys think the current codling run will hold for January? If finances allow, I will be up for this for sure. Perhaps we can car share Alan?

Rob I really do not know if the Cod will still be around, it is a daytime comp for safety that may have a baring, but on the whole the last time we did this it went to dogfish, the geezer who won it had an 8lb Conger o n a sixe 4 hook! lucky git!
