conger festival 09

Very difficult this year,the swell knocked out most of the south coast & a fair bit of the north,hence catches were down.But on a brighter note the rain stayed off & two people managed eels over the 15 Lb qualifying (pics & weights below).
Thanx to all those who entered your the ones who keep us running these comps,also the Gavey family,sponsors Morning watch,st Ouens motors,JFS & Mr Fish.
This was the 30th year of the festival which makes it the longest running open competition still running in the island,& as a club we pledge to keep it running for the next 30 & beyond.
