2011 June fishing comp: WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

[Squidder]

Welcome everyone to the sixth of this year's monthly online fishing competitions. Sure it's getting cold, but only namby pamby losers use the cold as an excuse not to go fishing! As always, three random prizes are up for grabs courtesy of our generous sponsor Sailing Scene - all entries (even tales of woe) are eligible for one of these random prizes - if you go fishing during the comp period you'd be mad not to enter!

Due to a......ahem.....slight oversight on my behalf the June comp will run from last Saturday June 4th to Sunday June 19th. That's a full extra week compared to your average monthly comp period! Please post all entries in this thread.

Full entry details and competition rules for this year can be found here:

raider rod symetre reel
6lb braid
