Sea Monster!

- Mon 28th Oct 2002

Adrian Farley, who many will remember from his days teaching at the Hayling School, caught what he describes as a fish of a lifetime whilst fishing off Hayling last weekend.








Adrian, who is now a PAA Coach and Sea Angler Magazine Casting Instructor, landed this impressive 18lb 2oz cod whilst fishing from Eastoke corner last Saturday evening. "Luckily I was fishing with 3 mates attached to Total Sea Fishing Magazine, so this catch is fully authenticated!". As of this time, we have not received our fish supper invitation.
