Bob Horne Memorial Trophy was fished as a Flounder Comp (17th December 2023). No fish recorded on the day.

If there are no flounders caught on the day of the competition, it will revert to Largest Flounder of the Year.

 

Other Competitions will be added, and the results will be reduced to the top three going forward to keep the thread to a minimum.

 

 

 

Please add any catches via “Report A Catch” on the Forum home page, embedded in the Blue Band across the page, it’s very easy to add any catches you want to report, everything else is carried out automatically. This will also automatically enter you into the Fish of the Month comp, with a chance of winning a £25 voucher sponsored by the club.

 

 

 

 

All Club Comps are Open to all Club Members.

 

Please register your Boat and any Club Members into the “Species Hunt” comps if you want to join in.

 

Tight lines, stay safe and good luck to all club members.

Thanks Chris,

 

I have been meaning to ask what happened to the Trophies from last year that were not presented, Did they go down to Andy's shop?

 

Wendy and I were away and could not attend the Dinner Dance.

[Kingfisher 126]

Charlie,

 

All trophies have been engraved with the latest results on, I had yours and Wendy's at the meeting but all the trophies I had left have been returned to Andy's. 

 

It would be good to get a photo or two with the Chapmans holding their haul of silverware from last year. 😀

 

Some of the trophies were taken by those who received them and will need to be returned to the cabinets at Andy's once they have finished showing them off. 👍

Thanks Chris

 

Perhaps we can arrange that at some time.

Possibly after a breakfast at the friendly café next door.

Well done Chris for getting this created; plenty of scope for the leaders to be overhauled. 

 

I've pinned it and featured it. Not sure what the 'featured' feature does but sounds good!

Hopefully a few more after the species comp 10-11th June.

The season is now into the final month but there is still time to get on top of the leader boards.

Weather and family commitments allowing lets get some more names on the lists.

 

Photos are always welcome to add to the reports. 👍

The results are now the final results for the 2023 season.

 

Many thanks to the all the members that have added their catches into the Catch Report on the forum to allow the data to be used.
