Tom Smith entered but he rarely comes on here. I do know that Tom had a 10lb ish cod on day one but the boat he was one broke down on day two so he was a bit peed off. Tom didn't stay for the presentation so unfortunately I have no more info.

 

I think Neal also fished it?

Here's a news letter from Silver Spray

 

Dear Anglers

 

Catch report

 

The winter cod have arrived! Over the last weekend the winter cod have put in a strong appearance together with a few whiting. Just in time for the British Cod Championships based on Yarmouth IOW. Our best cod so far was a 23lber which fell to Nick Colbert from Bath. Nick was fishing a double squid bait on a 4/0 hook and the fish fought really well on a 10ft bass rod designed for spinning from the beach. Nick also had a 7lb cod and 2 bass to 7lb on the same trip. Silver Spray joint skipper Sam Cumming landed a fish of 17lb while Andy Cumming could only manage a 14lber a day later.

 

Mid November and the cod fishing has really got going and its time for the British Cod Champs on the Isle of Wight. Day 1 and the weather was good enough to allow us to fish South of the Needles. We managed 3 fish with best just under 17lbs falling to Rene van Oevelen that turned out to be third heaviest of the day. One boat had 9 fish so we were somewhat off the pace. Day 2 saw strong Southerley winds and we were confined to the Solent - not our favourite grounds for sure. Only one fish for Pete "Geeze" Bailey up to lunchtime a monster just short of 30lbs (well about 28lbs short to be precise!). We had a move and Geeze joked that he only needed another 4 to win! In the last hour Geeze so nearly did it catching 3 and dropping one! His 4 cod with the horrible weather, copious weed and scarce bites rates as the finest angling achievement we have seen on Silver Spray. Max Everrett also got on the score sheet giving us 5 fish on day 2. Geeze ended up in third place overall with 5 fish to 37lbs while the 1st and 2nd placed anglers also had 5 fish totally 44lb each. Silver Spray ended up 3rd on number of cod with 8 fish
