Neal Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 It's time for round 2 of this years Species Competition However - following last weeks Cobbs Quay Species Hunt - a few might prefer not to bother. So this post is to guage interest! Given the on-going good weather I would like to see a few more of the Juniors being taken out - we currently have only one recording fish! Alternatively, we move the comp to the Christchurch end of the Bay to see if it is possible to get anywhere near the 15 - 20 Species caught in a single day, which can be achieved at the Poole end!

charlieannear Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 Anyone got room for 2 well behaved club members? Failing that, anyone got room for me and Sam? Quote
great white Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Are these a series of comps, as they were once (you mention round two) Or a one off comp? Its a shame but there seems to be even less interest in comps now. Quote
Leicester Fisheagle Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Thought it was a separate Comp. in its own right but could be wrong. As I wasn't able to fish the first one, could I be my usual troublesome self and seek clarification? We pensioners sometimes need things explaining more than once. Many thanks. Allan. Quote
Neal Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Posted July 20, 2013 It is a separate comp - just for fun. Put in in case the last one was cancelled. Plus an opportunity for people to boost their species count. Neal Quote
Leicester Fisheagle Posted July 20, 2013 Report Posted July 20, 2013 Thanks Neil. I have written it down so I don't forget. Weather is looking a bit off. Allan. Quote

Ark Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 Only a couple of species for us, the wind beat us back in to the harbour. Gave up on the fishing and had lovely day out. Kev Quote

niggle Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 We had a good go.........16 species for team Wishin Rob, Kingfisher 126 and Stuie 3 Quote
Leicester Fisheagle Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 How many were in your team? Allan. Quote
Leicester Fisheagle Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 Despite our recent successes, Fisheagle did not have a very good day on the fish front. The weather was superb and the company was great and I was able to run at just over 5000 revs giving us a speed of 30 knots. However, we were not able to fish Poole Patch to increase our species count due to a perceived oil pressure problem which which delayed us and had us limping from Southbourne across the Bay at just over 1000 Revs and 3/4 knots. Thanks to Dave and John for going onto the bathing platforms and helping me lift off the engine cowling. Not something we would recomend even in calm weather even if you are wearing a life jacket and roped on. Also to Charlie for offering to help us back had we needed it. It turned out to be a quirk of the Suzuki engine which kept the oil warning light flashing but did not give audible alarms and limit the engine revs. This apparently would have been a real problem. However, what we had and suspected, was an indication that an oil change was required, but we needed to satisfy ourselves that there was oil and no overheating. To stop the light flashing we needed to switch off the engine, remove the Kill Cord and manually pull the Kill Cord Switch in and out three times. Never had issues like this with the old Nanni Diesel engine. Species wise, dismal totals with three species to Dave and five to me. Quote
Mike Fox Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 Nothing to report from aboard Frisky Fox The worms died, and after the SE 4-5 on Saturday, we didn't sally forth in the end. Mike Quote
charlieannear Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 Along with Nigel and Mal, Sam and I went out aboard Wishin Too for the day. Sam was very pleased to catch lots of mackerel, a mini Ballan wrasse, a nice little spotted ray of 2lb 3oz and a Tope of about 10lb- contributing to Team Wishin's total. Thanks Nigel and Mal (not a couple... ) for having us along! Quote
Coddy Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 Competition rules for Summer Species Hunt – 1 of each species to be counted per Angler – top angler wins. I am sure it would help Neil if each angler posted the number of species caught Dave Quote
niggle Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 Sorry to be thick,but if we all caught a mackerel is that 1 each or can only one person claim it? Quote
niggle Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 Nigel........14 species Mal...........12 species Sam ..........4 species Quote
charlieannear Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 Nigel........14 species Mal...........12 species Sam ..........4 species And I had 2! Quote
