Some Photos from the 2010 Torbay
Sea Angling Festival
"Gemini" had a very
successful Torbay Festival taking best fish off wreck and winning
£325.00 with a Garfish for Graham Dryer 1 lb13 ozs 6
dr.
We won the Cod, Ling and
Pollack Trophies and also the biggest Whiting. "Gemini" won
the ’Gemini’ Trophy for biggest Cod again, which we provide with a £50
gift voucher to be spent at Brixham Bait and Tackle.
All in all a great Festival.
Thank you to everyone who took part and also to the people who organise
this event and a special thank you to Abu Garcia who sponsor this event
every year and provide great prizes. Good fishing to everyone.

Allyson Thomas from
Wales
proudly holds her Cod 9 lbs
caught from a mid-Channel wreck
mark at arms length, which places
it nearer the camera lens and
makes it much clearer to the eye.
Thereby hangs a tail!
That's the way to do it - provided
you are always scrupulously honest
in publishing the true weight!
