TomBettle Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Great write up Paul, you fished your t1ts off and deserve everything you got on Wednesday. Nice one mate. Looking forward to some more of the stories coming through from the rest of the team. I know Duncan now has a report after a rather hard first couple of days for him. Looking forward to seeing that, which should be with us soon. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBettle Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 PS: I appear to have hijacked your post "Alderney Double" I didn't mean to, sorry. Kind of happened last night when I was too tired to think about starting a new thread and posted in yours... That Brill of yours was something special. Wish we had found the bigger fish too.

Paul J Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 no sweat Tom- the picture section is usually for just that so that they don't become too big and hard for people with slower pc's to open Im sure Paul D will transfer the chat to over to here Cheers Paul J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Y Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 A fantastic trip - thank you all for being so welcoming to me and Dave on our first excursion with the club. We really enjoyed the trip - superb weather, great banter and some really good fishing. Well done Paul J for your red letter day on Wednesday - was great to see Well done also to Tom and Duncan for showing us what can be achieved in our own boats and putting your respective crews over the fish. Your boats both looked fantastic in the water. A particular thank you to Adam F for organising a seamless trip and to Chris Caines for putting us on the fish and Lyle for sorting us out with bait, coffee and some handy network (particularly for Richard the Badger). I ended up with my first turbot and a few others to go with it and my first brill so was really chuffed. Look forward to seeing you all out on the water soon.

Paul J Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Now im back down to earth with a bump ( went to work yesterday) it's time to thank the unsung hero of the trip. Many thanks to Adam for all the hard work and stress involved in organising such a trip. It was seamless, we waited and wanted for nothing- a job well done Cheers Adam PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBettle Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I just wanted to thank Adam for all the hard work he did organising the trip. I know he had several frustrations pulling it together, but made a superb job of it! Although not officially on the trip directly, I'd also like to thank him for allowing Quest II and Phaeton crews to join in all the fun too. Cheers mate! Tom PS: Now, after my very genuine thank you to Adam, it has all gone very quiet from both the Franklin and Burt camps on their Alderney experiences.... ...I can only assume that they are waiting to have the photo's developed of all those fish!
