I've WON!!

[FishyFolk]

I just got an e-mail from the The Norwegian Veterans Association telling me that I've won a trip to the World Championship Cod fishing in Lofoten, Norway!
Travel to and from, room and board, and entry fees and bait all paid for. I just have to bring meself and my fishing rods and flotation device! :happy-clapping::happy-clapping::happy-clapping::happy-clapping:

Here is the programme :-)

Thanks for the offer, and since I am dead broke, I trus tyou will pay your own way. There will be plenty of free fish though :-_)

Won't be using much bait. I think I will go for the sure thing: Norway pirk with some extra hooks down the trace rigged with rubber tubes (gummimakk) :-)

[saxonaxe]

Bait? What do you mean bait? We want you to win...try some of these..;)

Lol, I think depth charges are specifically named in the competition rules as not allowed...but you may need one against the cod out there :-)
