After discussing the idea with our leader Baramundi Bob its been agreed to run a competition for a bit of fun, we've decided it's to be known as the 'Whitby sea anglers forum Gas Mantle big cod trophy'.

It's a bit of fun and no cash prize is offered but a trophy shield with the winners name engraved on it will be given.

The idea is simple, you catch the biggest locally shore caught cod and add it to this thread with a photo and a few details and at the end of the year the winner takes the shield for a year.

Please though don't add your catch to the thread if it isnt larger than the current record holder.

The rules are :-

1) The fish must be caught by a forum member.

2) The fish must be a shore caught cod.

3) The fish must be photographed at the time of capture and its weight given (fish photographed at home later will be declared void).

4) The limits are Spurn point to Hartlepool Steetly pier

5) In the event of a dead heat the first to post here wins.

6) The closing time for entry is midnight 31st December each year.

7) Entries are taken on trust (no official weighing is necessary) but in the unlikely event of dubious claims Baramundi Bob and myself have the final say.

8) The winner must surrender the shield at the end of the year in readiness for the next winner.

Best of luck to all who enter... who's gonna kick the competition off ?

The trophy shield is now on order and I should have it in about 10 days, once I get it I'll post a pic here.

Not the easiest thing to photograph but here's a pic of the trophy the lucky (or unlucky) winner could win complete with his or her name engraved on

Not sure what happened to gas mantle though ??? he seemed to stop posting in the middle of the summer. Hopefully he will be back.

Unless there's new drainage systems and block paving on the cliffs, MJG's must also be invalid

I'm sure I saw something posted by Gas Mantle last night somewhere on the forum

MJG69 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 07, 2008, 10:51:21 PM »

I'm still here, just havent been well lately and had a short stay in hospital so fishing temporarily went on hold.

As for the competition, the original rules whereby a fish must be photographed at the time of capture still apply, so I'm sorry guys but the enties so far arent allowed, albeit they were nice fish.

In the interests of fairness, the rules remain as I've outlined in my initial posting, but as stated entries will be taken on trust without any official weighing unless there's good reason to doubt an individuals claim.
