Autumn/Winter Fishing Competitions

[Mike Fox]

If anyone is looking for crew mid-week, to track down the elusive cod and jumbo whiting in advance of the comp, i'm happy to come along and provide bait, contribute to fuel etc.

 

it looks like favourable winds for most of the week.

[jerry.shutter]

Just a reminder this Sunday is the Cod and Whiting Competition.

 

Weather is looking hopeful.

 

Please order bait early to help Andy at PSA

 

Generous vouchers from PSA for best Cod Whiting 2x £50.00

 

 

[great white]

Please add Alfresco to the list.

 

Myself and Ian Simpson, maybe Dan as well

[Steve S]

Cod / Whiting comp - Steve, Alun - we will be texting our results in with photos.

[Breakin’ Bass]

Please add me to the list of boats taking part. Do I need to register anywhere else on this site?

 

Pete

[Jim]

You do need at least 2 people on the boat in order to take part Pete.

Your crew can be non members but for safety: At least 2 on board.

Remember, for club comps you need a minimum of two people for safety. 

 

Edit, sorry Jim, I hadn't got as far as your post.

 

Terry.

[Breakin’ Bass]

Thanks Jim/Terry. Understood.

 

[jerry.shutter]

Pete,

 

If you need crew, if you put a separate post up I would think a club member   might be looking for a trip. The weather is not now looking so kind so 🤞we can get out.

[Graham Nash]

the weekend is looking less promising as it gets closer. 

[Hooky]

Either I’m looking in the wrong place but the weather looks fine 🤔

Ann has just tested positive on a lateral flow test, I seem to be clear. We have just done the more accurate PCR Test, should get the results tomorrow.

Hope you are both Ok

[jerry.shutter]

The weather for Sunday has fluctuated for the last week.

Today it’s looking ok with a Northerly 10-11mph.

However in the interests of safety I think I have to leave it until Saturday morning to do a final call. We are all in the same situation so bare with me, I’ve bought bait and it’s in the freezer!!!

 

Fingers crossed we will be able to get out and look for that elusive Cod and a few Whiting.

 

Jerry

[great white]

Thanks jerry

 

Could you please remind us what the timings are for this competition.

 

I will call my crew later

 

Thanks Charlie

[Mal Thomas]

Agree with Jerry, Saturday looking too breezy from Northerly direction. Sunday looking a little better but more than a couple of miles offshore and it will be lumpy for the smaller boats. Might be better to defer as Cod are likely to be in 70ft + of water historically on our coast. Lets see how it pans out. 

[jerry.shutter]

The Cod/Whiting Comp is only on Sunday as we have a weigh in at Cobbs at 4.15.
 
Hopefully if it goes ahead, all local Poole boats will make it to Cobbs for a beer and banter, those further a field please make sure your fish weights and photos are in by 4pm on Sunday.. 
If possible txt or what’s app to me 07866532766 or any other committee member.
 
Weather decision on Saturday morning.
 
Tight lines

[great white]

Thanks jerry 

 

I knew the weigh in times , but are there fishing times

 

IE is it the usual 7 HR period, 0800 start 1500 finish? Weather permitting

[Maverick Martin]

I guess this comp runs along the same lines as most of our competitions Competition rules

So a continuous 7 hour period prior to the finishing times would sound about right?

Jerry  I am busy tomorrow, my input is it looks like an improving forecast 10-15mph at worse as an average, wave height 600mm, so I think it is just acceptable. I will be happy if it goes ahead. I will leave it to you to finalise.

That's not the attitude Mal, what the hell are you up to that's more important than club comps

See you in the morning 

[Kingfisher 126]

As others are being totally selfish and have arranged other events can I please add,  

 

Kingfisher - Chris W, Gary W, Kev C. 

[Graham Nash]

Forecast is improving a little, so Graham with two non members (son Wayne and grandson Ashton) will be out there somewhere.

 

Ive never caught a cod before (apart from while drifting over a wreck on Alfresco many years ago). Is the general opinion that anchoring or drifting is the way to fish for cod? I personally prefer anchoring (but as mentioned, have never caught a cod, maybe thats why?).  

[great white]

Hi Graham

We will be at anchor for both species tomorrow in about 100 ft

 

I am sure we will see whiting but not so confident on a winter cod

[Maverick Martin]

This time of year anchor and big baits
