Guys the Competion entry form and contact number are on page one of this thread, the 6th posting.

 

I suggest you call the competition organizer for cark parking details, etc.

Again, his number is on the entry form.

 

cheers

Right guys............there are some slips farther down the coastline from Dartmouth, and you can steam straight onto the Banks for fishing. Depending on boat size...what sizes are going, and what draught of water is needed for launch/recovery?? I'll phone a mate in Kingsbridge who can advise on better parking facilities.............Dartmouth WILL be an absolute nightmare!!! Check on the Chart I gave to bob..............

Regards......Rich

...but be aware, I think the check-in is at the ferry slip in Dartmouth.

Martin,

 

Mark and i aret hinking about pulling out of this one.

 

Main reason is that we have so much on at the moment , Club Comp, Dartmouth, Jumble, Alderney.

I am thinking it might not be a good time to go with the comp on as it will be very busy and parking and launching would be a nightmare espeacially as we don't know the place very well.

 

3 hour drive each way for smaller plaice than you get on the shambles is looking less attractive to me.

 

Do you fancy doing Weymouth again instead? it seems that it will be so much less hassle and will provide us with some additional practise fishing the banks in readiness for Alderney ( not quite the same i know)

 

What do you think?

[Paul D]

Surely the plaice in Dartmouth don't come any smaller than the one ( and only one ! ) plaice I caught in Weymouth

Seriously though, it was a good place to fish and I am sure will fish better for me on another day, so good idea.

( Will need someone with 4WD to get boat out though ).

 

 

[Maverick Martin]

Yep Weymouth sounds a good bet to me and hopefully Dean can make it this time.

I wonder when the Bass arrive of Portland? might be worth a try

 

we can make final plans after next weeks comp

[shytalk]

bit early for bass yet but bream are putting in an appearance at worbarrow and will show near the shambles soon

[Maverick Martin]

Thanks Peter

[Swainiac]

If the trip is still on...............I can take the Hi-Lux with me.........4x4 for recovery, will keep up with the tailers!

Regards Rich
