Paul D Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 Put this one in your calendar ( and no need to weigh fish, so right up your street Mike ) Round 2 ++, 24th June ++ LW @ 1200 Neap tide Run as a species hunt using 2006 scoring system for points, then winner 20 points second 19 points etc for overall scores. This competition is the second qualifying one for the BFM competition, so please make every effort to fish this as we need at least 10 competitors ( and Nipper needs all the competition he can get ).

Gnasher Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 and Nipper needs all the competition he can get or bring back jimbob Quote
Paul D Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Posted June 12, 2007 Dont worry - Christchurch is always a good place to go out from for a Species hunt and I intend to give them a run for their money Quote
Gnasher Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 shift at work should be covered....99% sure i'm now playing Quote
Newboy Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 My guess is PD will be in the top 3. With the mullets in the harbours and wrasse, pouts, mackies, pollocks, bream, bass on the Ledge. Quote
alun j. Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Sorry.......but I don't think I'll be able to join in. I have an invite to fish in Falmouth on a nice big 805. So, weather permitting, I'll be looking for bass near the Manacles; though last year it was pollack and cod we found. Alun. Quote
Swainiac Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Dan....how very dare you!!! LMAO matey...why dont you blag a trip down with us one day....no need to steal the plotter, they are all very well marks we fish, we just know how to fish them and on which state of the tide!!! I must get a decent method of mullet fishing from you mate.....cant seem to sqeak thick lips out in weymouth harbour...weve only had one between us!!!! Lard Quote
Neal Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 For us new members wanting to fish the species hunt - can you direct us to the points scoring information. Cheers Neal Quote
Paul D Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Posted June 13, 2007 Web Based Score Sheet Downloadable Scoresheet However, just realised that the e-mail address is for the previous fish recorder. You will need to e-mail your scoresheet to webmaster@pbsbac.co.uk or fishrecorder@pbsbac.co.uk Quote
Neal Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 So - no distinguishing between species such as : Wrasse - ballan, cuckoo etc Smoothhound - starry, common Rays - Blonde, undulate etc Bream - Black, Gilthead Poor Cod? etc etc and no mini species to count at all? Neal Quote
Newboy Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Don't think poor cod counts as a cod ....... Quote
great white Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Might make a good Cod bait though You seem to have the idea correct Neal. My suggestion would be print off a couple of sheet to take onboard to record your score with as you go, then send a copy to Paul afterwards. you should find it easy enough The other point is that you are on maximum species points with 4 of each species, and get bonus points for the number of species caught. It can be the case of moving about or varying tactics to score well. Paul after a good start last weekend Dan or I may be able to crew if you need one Charlie Quote
Maverick Martin Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Also remember all fish count ie even undersize but remember to release them so once you have caught your 4 move on to the next speices Martin Quote
Gnasher Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 if someone wants to share expenses, i will take crew. Call me at come point rich and i will show you. Or read the Sea Dangler artical when i get round to doing it Quote
Paul J Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 He knows that - hes just having some fun, Hes boasting while he can and who can blame him- he's in the lead and on a roll PJ Quote
Paul D Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Posted June 13, 2007 Paul after a good start last weekend Dan or I may be able to crew if you need one I will be needing crew, so shall I count on you as my crew ( could fit both of you onboard if you dont mind a little bit of a squeeze. ) Quote
Paul D Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Posted June 13, 2007 My guess is PD will be in the top 3. With the mullets in the harbours and wrasse, pouts, mackies, pollocks, bream, bass on the Ledge. Lets hope you are guessing correctly Quote
Adam F Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 ah ha!.... but I am planning to fish this one! Quote
Gnasher Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 My guess is PD will be in the top 3. With the mullets in the harbours and wrasse, pouts, mackies, pollocks, bream, bass on the Ledge. Lets hope you are guessing correctly dont talk twoddle Kam Quote
alun j. Posted June 13, 2007 Report Posted June 13, 2007 Change of plan !! My Falmouth contact has postponed for 4 weeks so I'm up to join in the comp. I'm not that keen on species comps. but this end can do well if tactics are deployed! I'm up to crew or be crewed ........ and a week to hatch a few ideas!! Looks like there could be a few of us out; fingers crossed for weather. Alun. Quote
Newboy Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 I'm merely implying boats coming out from X'church tend to do better, if I remember right, PD, AJ,... always do quite well spinning for mullets in the harbour. Quote
DommyBoy Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 Would have loved to fish it but amd away in spain for 2 weeks from this saturday so no boat fishing for me, only mullet bashing off the socks, is the Med in club waters , as i could grab a lilo and join the comp! All the best to those who do get out there and lets hope the weather holds for you all. Come on Dan........ Quote
