We all arrived at Southbourne around 7 and unloaded and trolleyed down to the beach.

Everyone signed my sheet , donated a fiver, and then took to the water. I contacted Portland Coastguard and informed them of our plans, around the same time as Chris arrived on Kingfisher as a support boat.

Xc had forecast 10 gusting 15 but it was a constant 20.

30 guys took part and although lots of species were caught, only 7 brought a fish to the measure station. I only needed 1to be caught for the day to be a Plaice Chase.

Chris was pro active visiting the competitors and dishing out warm food( sossie sarnie mmmm)

The weather saw myself landing around 12 and slowly and surely the Yakkers called it a day. All boats were off the water by 1.30

Well done on the organising Steve.

I have to say what great set of guys, they must be all barking mad as it was freezing first thing!

A good day out and they did well to keep going in the conditions.

A pleasure to be involved and great no incidents reported.

 

Good luck next year.

Pure Magic Steve.

 

Very well done on organising this. Glad it all went well.

 

Chris: well done on the safety boat duties, but going around with sausage sarnies . . . . . . . . You've earned a gold star ! :)

 

Sorry I couldn't have come over and watched.
