Not looking like a real comp with the numbers, but still going fishing what a shame, can’t blame the weather on this one.

I’m sure there will be more than two club boats out over the weekend fishing. 🤷

 

It is the prime holiday season Chris, and whilst away (we returned back into the country late Yesterday,) the airports were very busy and the hotels looked quite full. I am sure other members will be away in late July/August time with their kids and grand kids.

 

May I suggest we look at running competitions out of prime holiday times? Then there may be a better chance for members to enter the comps.

 

I personally would have liked to have taken part in the last two comps.

Martin had catch of the day on Kingfisher.

We tried for various species to see if we could get a decent specimen but really struggled, 

Mal, managed the triple 7,

2 x 7lb Congers 

1 x 7lb Tope

Chris,

Red Gurnard 8oz

Plaice 1lb 12oz

Martin,

Blonde Ray 6lb 6oz

Plaice 1lb 6oz

 

Catch of the day from Martin was a 3/4 yd Blue Ensign complete with a stainless flagpole well fought in the Swash which we flew up the harbour while Mal danced to YMCA “In the Navy”.

If nobody claims it Martin will mount it in his garage. 
 

 

 

 

A great day as always, banter, p—- taking, even managed a guiness to round the day off, cheers guys. 👍👍👏👏

We had a very long Day

 

Towed a full spread of lures up and down the waves, all the way from Durlston to the west end of the shambles, then an alternative route back to the spoils.

 

Nil fish to report

 

Although a pack of Dolphins breaking surface did get us excited for a bit.
