[jerry.shutter]

This coming weekend is the Bass Comp, please sign in as usual and watch this site for weather guidance along with your own.

[Mal Thomas]

Currently Weather watching very changeable over the last few days, weather fronts moving fast dropping vast amounts of rain.

Saturday and Sunday are not looking good this morning, hopefully it might improve. Keep watching.

Please put your names down to gauge who would like to take part.

We the committee are looking into trying something different next year that will alleviate these weather interruptions and move away from specific dates for some comps. Chris Witheford is looking into all the variants and possible issues this might create. Hopefully the membership will accept the proposals for a smooth transition to a more inclusive and least disrupted yearly account of best fish results.

Good luck with any changes to try and get more Members taking part. I will look forward to hearing what is proposed.

 

Wendy and I were hoping to take part in this Bass one, but only have Sunday available. Will only go if weather is good with Wendy crewing.

[Steve S]

I normally enjoy taking part in this one, but visitors and a race are making it difficult. If I do get away it will be a very short session early on Saturday before we are invaded!

[Maverick Martin]

Madness will be out with Martin & Phil Trevet

[Mal Thomas]

Looking at the very changeable weather I am concerned by the SE direction on Sunday which turns the Swash into a nasty washing machine, Saturday things have improved however the sea conditions are likely to be lively from the preceding weather. I am veering towards setting another date so our members are safe and not likely to be uncomfortable in small boats.

Of course non competition trips should go ahead at the skippers discretion. Do you all agree?

[Maverick Martin]

Saturday looks ok with winds from the N/E although there may be a residual chop offshore from Fridays blow.

 

BBC are giving Sunday as light S/E gentle breeze, nowhere to hide outside in a S/E but if the wind is as forecast then may be ok  

I will still fish Saturday but in the harbour for an easy day out.

 

Room for another if anyone fancies a day out

I'd love to Martin but Toooooooooooooo much to do with this house move.

Am I a part of HamBanks now?

or not far South enough?  🤪

 

 

[Mal Thomas]

Looking at the weather this morning I have no reason to Cancel, the weather is looking stable and slightly improving on Monday so not closing in or a small window. Please take part at your own discretion and do not put yourself at any risk or outside your comfort zone.

 

I will enter M.Thomas and T .Thomas

Serenity calling in sick this weekend

 

seems I have dropped a valve guide and valve which have buried them selves into a piston , causing damage to 3 other pistons.

 

 Clearly piston broke —- ouch,,!!!!!!!  !!!!!!

 

PMA says it’s is repairable, let us pray!!!!!!!!,

[Colin-58]

Sad news Tony, hope you get it sorted without too many problems,sounds like a bit of a dent in the wallet😞

[jerry.shutter]

Good luck this weekend guys, tight lines and thanks for sorting out Mal.

I would suggest hold all future Comps in Norway, three days of glassy conditions!!!!

[Maverick Martin]

*&%$£$%^*&%^ Hell Tony.

All the best.

[Stuie]

Oops Tony - good luck with the repairs.. and cost..

[Steve S]

Eek, Tony. Sounds like a new long block will be required, new pistons, some valves. That will be expensive, very sorry to hear it, unusual to get this sort of problem these days.

 

Good luck to those in the bass comp, I couldn't make it sadly.
