Dave Cooper got more than he bargained for when he visited the Go Fishing show at the NEC the other week. FISHINGmagic presented him with the contributor of the month prize kindly donated by Relum.

Dave Cooper and his prize rod-pod
Dave received a stainless steel Rod Hutchinson Eco Pod from FISHINGmagic editor Graham Marsden. The prize was in appreciation of his very popular ‘Purely For Pleasure’ column, and in particular the March contribution ‘Time Gentlemen Please’ in which he looked back to last season and forward to the next.

All major contributors to this website stand a chance of winning the Contributor of the Month award, and all others receive a bulk spool of line.
