Maverick Martin Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 Who's got a little one then Charlie Quote
Adam F Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 ....what's that? - his bait?!?! Quote
Sam Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 I have caught mackeral bigger than that I dont think that would be able to swallow a whole pout surprise it could swallow a 6/0 hook sam Quote
great white Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Its not the size that counts 24 ounces of pure muscle. fought all the way to the boat on 30lb gear. [ didn't even know it was on really, thought it was a pout] I told Sam it would get more comments than his 46lb 8oz one. Charlie Quote
Sam Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 dad they should be used to you catching the small one by now better luck next time sam Quote
Newboy Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 "Dad's a tidler while I have a whooper....." Quote
Newboy Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 The front page says 30 boats, surely we now have a lot more than 30 now.... Quote
Adam F Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Kam, The club has over 100 members - not all of the boats are on here... Quote
Maverick Martin Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 We currently have 101 members with 69 Boats and were still growing. This has been achieved by you guys putting the name of the club around and catching some superb fish that we have been able to capitalise on. We need to keep this momentum going so keep catching, keep reporting and keep talking about the best small boat A/C in the south Martin Quote
Paul D Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Posted February 20, 2005 I think Kam was referring to the line on the front page which states we have in excess of 60 members with 30 boats. I will amend this to read "in excess of 100 members with 70 boats." Shows how we have grown. PS: I am still working on the "superb fish" part Quote
great white Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Not all my fish are the tiddler sort Sam, I think I had the first, most and biggest on Thursday Charlie Quote
Newboy Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Not all my fish are the tiddler sort Sam, I think I had the first, most and biggest on Thursday Charlie But Charlie, you will be forever remembered for having a small one..... Quote
great white Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 To be honest Kam I only sent the photo to Paul so that others could have chance to add some comments So I do not have any problems with any comments Charlie Quote
Adam F Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 ...Charlie - just remind them who holds the club conger record! Quote
duncan Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 anyone want to bet on it surviving the year? Not suggesting Charlie won't hold the new one but I think it's going to come under serious pressure if we get any decent weather this summer. even heard a local tackle shop has had a run on larger scale sizes........

Sam Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 dad on thursday i caught the first one i used james trace which got caught on the anchor rope the day before some of the luck rubbed off sam Quote
great white Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Its a shame my British Conger Club membership has lapsed. They have a terrific Bronze trophy for the most returned eels in a year. So far this year I have caught and returned 18 I won the trophy in its first year 1989. But they would not let it out of Plymouth, it would be nice to win it again. I would add the photo, but that would open me up for some stick Bit older and greyer now Charlie Quote
JIMBOB Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 I should have gone for the Conger club trophy for catching and landing a conger on your own. On thursday I netted my 45lber on my own! !(Adam was playing anouther eel) It took a few attempts but I got him in the end Quote
great white Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Hi James Another good trophy from the BCC their Solitair Cup, heaviest eel landed without any assistance. Actually the Club record fish won me that one a couple of years ago, my mate on the boat would go nowhere near it in the water or in the boat. So it was landed weighed and returned without his help. That trophy also stayed in Plymouth, the keepsake is an engraved tankard which has an eel for the handle. You get one for winning any of the annual trophies, I have a few in the loft if you would like to see what you are aiming for Charlie Quote
Adam F Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 Charlie - Do you have to pay to join the BCC? Or what is the requirement for entry? Quote
great white Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 Hi Adam Yes there is an annual membership fee, I am not sure what it is now but they have a website if you want to look it up. To become a full Member you have to catch an eel above the qualifying weights of: Shore 25lb Reef 30lb Wreck 40lb Its a very good Club with a large Friendly and keen membership, and they have a wonderful set of Trophys.

Paul D Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Posted February 22, 2005 Their website is not bad. I can't remember the URL but I found it from the Weymouth Angling Society one ( on our links page ) Quote
