Gents - the book is opne for 1 week until this Sun so if you havent yet posted your result get it up. Leading so far is new member Martin (BRANCO) with a stonking 25lb 2oz fish - it's going to take some beating! Well done Martin - keep an eye out on here Sunday and I'll post up the final results. Adam

Nice load of reports guys - really enjoyed reading them all having not been able to make the comp on Sunday. A few blanks which is a shame but this is winter codding! To those who did catch WELL DONE! A special congrats needs to go to new member BRANCO - aka Martin who is leading the results so far with his cracking 25lber - well done mate! Adam

Hope you all had a good day. Sounds like it was a bit lumpier than expected out there? Thanks for such a good turnout, probably the best of the year! Record your catches here please, name, size of cod and boat caught on. 1.)

Great turnout guys! Weather is holding. Have a good day!

Weather is looking good and plenty of cod around so should be a good one. I didnt plan the dates very well this year as yet again I'm busy with family commitments and cant make this one... or the Flounder comp... Book in here please: 1.) Ian Jones - JV 2.) Bob F - JV 3.) Alun J - JV 4.) Martin B Awol 5.) Dean B Awol

Me too - sorry guys. Charlie has the catch reports and the ray comp results. Adam

Im going to eggsit this thread now, enough is enough..

Phew! Glad to see the thread had finally eggspired. We must have eggsausted all the puns....

"it's how I got my nickname... Small Flies" "I couldnt get it out in time - then this happend!"

If you want to ressurect my previous format the rules are as follows: The comp runs for a week, Rob then picks a winner - it is then their turn to post a photo and then it runs for another week, they pick a winner and so it is passed on.

Nige, I agree - personally I'm finding it eggs-cruciating... The puns started off as a bit of fun but are now growing eggs-ponentially... OMG I cant stop....

How much is this 'bait'... I cant afford to 'shell' out too much - I hope they arent eggstortionate! This thread certianly has eggceeded all my eggpectations, but to be fair I think we may have eggsausted all the possible egg puns... but there may be a few left! That's all Yolks...

True, I think the thread is about to eggsplode!

Maybe I could poach a few of these to try before the day?...
