duncan Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 too early on the forecast (other than it doesn't look a complete no brainer to sit in by the fire) to make firm plans but anyone else looking to get out of Poole? if it starts to look a little settled I may run out Sat and stay over in Lymington with a view to fishing their cod comp on the Sunday - if I don't catch a cod I won't have to go back in to Lymington on the way home company is always good on such adventures!

Neal Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Hi Duncan, The prizes awarded in The Lymington Open Boat Comp. are not just limited to Cod. Whilst the Cod take preference, other fish count in the absence of Cod. Last year myself and a colleague both caught Pollock large enough to give us 5th and 7th places. I am not certain whether this was calculated against overall weight or % of specimen size. Due to the scarecity of Cod last year people were bringing back Dogfish to the scales and winning prizes - Whilst I don't advocate killing fish for the sake of winning prizes - a good sized conger may put you into the prizes! Hopefully the weather will be good and lots of Cod will be around! Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 thanks for that Neal ironically that probably makes it less attractive as, for me, heading back into Lymington before running back to Poole that evening (and then driving 150 miles) will make a long old day! entering on the back of possibly being one of a handfull of cod is a different kettle of fish....so to speak! anyway I will see what the weather brings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
