Paul J Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 There is now a link on the front page at the bottom of the poster. This will take you to the info pack and should make it easier to find when it comes time to print and fill in your entry forms Cheers Paul J Quote
Swainiac Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 PJ, what are the chances of putting a link on here that show our species list, and 50% specimen weight?? Rich Quote
Paul J Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Rich, It's on there, it may take a little time to load on slower pc's PJ Quote
Swainiac Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Thanks.....Ive just edited the one Bob gave me, and printed a couple off, just so we know what we are chasing Rich Quote
duncan Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 just for a bt of fun how about a round of 'predict the winning species' - as we seem to be in 'comp' mode on here recently! whilst torn between bull huss and undulate ray I think I would put my money on the undulate if pressed - unless the weather is extremely settled and flat calm in which case................ Quote
Maverick Martin Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 My money is on a Flounder. Unless its dead flat then my money would be on a Tubby or Brill Round fish must surely be either an undulate or bully or if were really lucky a Cod? but then again whiting could be in the running or even a Wrasse but what about Bass what do we do with that, weigh in or go for the catch and release prize, to many decisions ummmmm can't make up me mind Martin Quote
Swainiac Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Round fish wise, Cuckoo, Gars, Bullies, and pout will all be achievable, I think that a Turbot or Brill out of Poole is a tad unlikely, but yes, a flounder may make an apperance Rich Quote
great white Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Gars in November are you sure RicH? lets just hope we get the weather to really get a good day afloat and give the skippers some options Bob I am sure you are right about the flatty mate Tight lines Charlie Quote
Gruffy Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 How about a double figure bass on a couple of squid intended for a cod....oooh now there would be a dilema. It would be nice to receive the first ever BASS trophy (ordered it today) for a catch and release fish, along with all the publicity that will go with it....not to mention a round of drinks for all the anglers on the boat. And a new Penn rod and reel. And a years mebership of BASS. And just think, you don't even have to win the comp proper for all this glory, just catch and release a double figure bass, how difficult can that be . You could always go on to win both if you caught the cod you were fishing for as well. I'll get my coat. Good luck all. Quote
Coddy Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 I wish I would be there but looks like I will be away again on my travels to the other side of the world! Good luck to those that enter, if you need crew give my friend and club member Bill Smith a call as I am sure he would love a trip out and can catch fish as well! Coddy Quote
duncan Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 hey Rich I have only fished 3 trips out on the boat this year and landed a turbot every time! .............. but the specimen weight just doesn't stack up for this comp. Gruffy - how about catching 2 x 12lb bass and returning 1 to win everything! Certainly not beyond the capabilities of some anglers here. Gars are certainly an interesting angle; one to ponder! and Bob - having never caught a flounder I wouldn't know where to start so I will leave that to the experts............... Quote
Gruffy Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Gruffy - how about catching 2 x 12lb bass and returning 1 to win everything! Certainly not beyond the capabilities of some anglers here. Duncan, If it happens it happens....this is a scenario that was considered by BASS but hey, at the end of the day, the award is for the largest returned bass, full stop. If offering this award means that a 12lb bass goes back then fantastic, this is a great result. The intention is for this award to be piloted at this open comp with a view to it being expanded next year, so we'll just have to suck it and see. I hope a few bass are caught and released, and I hope the winner is 9lb 15oz, because I've commited to pay for the drinks if it's over 10lb! Quote
duncan Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 It was the drinks bit I'm counting on - with a crew of 16 and everyone staying over Sunday for a session in the Marina Bar it could get exciting eh? Looking forward to meeting you Quote
Paul J Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 Due to Popular demand B.A.S.S have increased the stakes: Quote
great white Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 Well done Paul that will certainly give the anglers something to think about on the day Nice trophy and prizes for a returned fish, it really must be the way to go on the fish conservation front. Charlie Quote
duncan Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 looks very good - and glad to see the drinks are still in there........... over recent years I thinks it's fair to say that I have gone further than many in this area - I don't even catch them in the first place. however I love a challenge!

Swainiac Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) High-Ho, High-Ho...its off to the Race we go, With macky and launce, We're in with a chance, High-, High-Ho! Rich.........ever hopefull! Edited October 28, 2006 by Rich J.A.W. Quote
Paul J Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) And you wonder why people call you the gay badger? Edited October 28, 2006 by Paul J Quote
Gruffy Posted November 2, 2006 Report Posted November 2, 2006 Someone mentioned earlier about garfish....not normally considered a common catch in November admittedly, but in that barmy weather last sundy I managed to snag one whilst lure fishing and I saw a couple of others following lures during the afternoon, so they are still around. There were also plenty of bass, so I'm looking forward to seeing who will take the C&R trophy. By the way, I received the rod and reel combo from Penn yesterday and the reel is not the model listed in the initial draft of the comp notice - it's actually a Penn 310GTI, and there's a spool of braid and bulk spool of mono as well - I reckon this is about Quote
lady jane Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 does the 8-30 start mean from baiter or time you can start fishing. ie leave baiter at 07-05 motor for 11/2 hrs and start fishing ? cheers andy Quote
Paul J Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Andy, You can't register until 7:30am Fishing starts at 8:30am as not all boat will be leaving from Baiter. PJ Quote
Member Removed Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 Just to wish you all good luck- especially with the bass C&R. Lets hope its a double for someone, and there are some great pics. wish I could be with you but family matter shave to be attended to Weather forecast seems fine too - the gods are smiling!! Quote
