British Cod Championships 2013


So that’s the British Cod Championships all finished for another year, unfortunately due to the North-westerly that arrived today the comp was cut down to just the one day. I delivered the boat down to Lymington on Tuesday, as you can see I may have stopped off to have a little look where we might find the cod the next day. Wednesday’s weather was just perfect and my crew fished really well and brought 4 cod to the deck. Including Dave Woods 19lb 5oz which got him 3rd biggest fish overall. His brother John caught all 3 of the other fish and came second overall for combined weight.  I was chuffed as nuts to be named Top Skipper for the 2013 Comp with a total weight of fish of 35lb 9oz, which topped the list just 10oz above Eric Elliot of Wight Rebel. Talk about a photo finish, well done to all who fished and many thanks to the West Wight Skippers Association for organising another brilliant competition.
