M B F would like to welcome Kingfisher 11 to the world of boat comps with skipper Mike cooper and his son Stan totally enjoying themselves in the process .
Kingfisher 11

Four boats and 13 anglers set off from douglas with notable abscentees ,

but the night however was enjoyed by all that took part . no massacres took part although there was no shortage of codling caught ,most were returned un harmed apart from a few that were kept for a fish supper . The weather was spot on and all boats headed to the designated fishing ground of the night and on his 2nd drop Micheal Emery's dad was into what turned out to be the winning fish of the night ,a cod of just over the 4lb mark .
Micheal with his Dads winning fish

Wicked hen fished the furthest out with great success catching lots of fish which in the end earned them 2nd spot on the night with a cod of 3lb.11.25ozs .Merit 1 fished quite close to us on kirsty 111,but could only finish 3rd with a cod wieghing in at 3lb.3.25ozs ,with 4 anglers on their boat a massacre was avoided by 2 of them blanking in the cod department , can't say who,( oh go on then it was Gazz and Lee ).
Young Stan Cooper not to be out done by his father wieghed in a fish of 1lb.5.875ozs and said that he had never had so much fun and was looking forward to our next comp ,well done Stan hope to see you and your dad at the next one .
