Paul D Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 We need 10 people minimum fishing for entry to the BFM competition. The first competition of the year is a BFM qualifier, so lets get as many as possible fishing this competition ( weather willing of course ). Book in either using this thread or by calling myself ,Mike Fox ( as per the Comp Booking in thread ) or Adam Franklin. Results to be returned / telephoned in within 1 day of fishing the comp ( ie. By Monday evening ). This will allow time to send the BFM forms back. Scoring sheets will be attached to this post when I can find the link ! ================================= BTW: Looking for crew for this comp on Neo - any takers ? Who is fishing then ? Quote
great white Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks Paul Following the AGM can you or Adam please confirm what the competition rules are Ie No of rods, hooks, eligable species and fishing times. etc etc Dan and I are hoping to fish weather permitting, Sam is working. We will have space onboard if you wish to join us, but will understand if you would rather fish on Neo and have the chance to dart around the harbour and inshore marks. Anyone else who are between boats need a ride? Charlie Quote
Paul D Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Posted April 7, 2008 2 rods can be used with a maximum of 3 hooks ( Where a pennel counts as a single hook - provided both hooks are in the same bait ). ( This is a change from the previous 2 hook maximum and needs updating on the front page of the web site ) The species allowed are those listed on the competition spreadsheet and nothing else ( ie. No "mini species" ). All sizes count but undersized fish MUST be returned. Fishing Times are any 7 hour Period between 06:00 and 18:00 Quote
Adam F Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks Paul - you beat me to it. My mobile is 07957 829902 if anyone wants to book in via phone. I'm at the Canford boat jumble I'm afraid. Good luck to those who get out! Quote
Mike Fox Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Following my car crash last Monday, I am now signed off with whiplash injury to my neck which seems to be getting progressively worse. As a result, Frisky and crew might not be getting out to play on Sunday. Early indications are for strongish northerlies, an occluded front, and rather cool, for those who are inclined to get out.

Manic Moore Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Enticer will be out with Alun "Fishing Supremo" Jones possibly crewing. Quote

Fugazi Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Fugazi will be taking part in the competition as the trailer is now back together (complete with hub flush kit). Gordon Quote
alun j. Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Weather forecasts for Sunday are not consistent !! ...could be anything this far out. If wind drops..........I might persuade Gordon onto Gastronaught for a bit of stealth - boating in our hunt for extra species....... but I don't see many mullet yet! Good luck to all........t'will be interesting to see which wnd of the Bay does better. Out to practice tomorrow!! Alun. Quote

Looking forward to the next meeting and some GPS lessons. We have a Lowrance 3500c Thanks. Jim Jim, Post in this thread to register that you are fishing the competition ( or call me the day before ). Also all club boats monitor channel 6 and you can book in on this channel on the day ( with NEO or any committee member fishing ) - this is the least preferable method as you will spend half the day trying to contact someone to book in ! Rules as at the top of this thread. Complete a score card ( Up to 4 of each species ). All these competitions are catch and release and based on trust. Post here what you caught or e-mail the spreadsheet to webmaster@pbsbac.co.uk or send a PM with your catch. Quote
Swainiac Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 Team Nipper will hopefully be out, if the trailer is fixed......sorting that one today. Rich Quote

Swainiac Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Trailer will not be ready in time, unfortunately, so unless either of us crew, Mark and I won't be out. Rich Quote
great white Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Hi All As its the first one of the season, I thought I would remind you that if you need bait from Alex please give him a call and a bit of notice Charlie Quote
gaffa Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Unfortunately will not be able to enter comp this time Boat still being serviced and domestic issues at home mean unable to crew. B*******r Quote
Mike Fox Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 All, Please note the weather outlook for Sunday is looking unkind, but is very changeable. The inshore forecast has been updated in the last few minutes and is here: Selsey Bill to Lyme Regis Strong wind warning 1631 Fri 11 Apr 0600 Sat 12 Apr Southwesterly winds will reach force 6 or force 7, occasionally gale force 8 for a time Inshore waters forecast 24 hour forecast: 1800 Fri 11 Apr 1800 Sat 12 Apr Wind Southwesterly 5 to 7, increasing gale 8 for a time. Sea state Moderate or rough. Weather Squally thundery showers. Visibility Mainly good. Outlook: 1800 Sat 12 Apr 1800 Sun 13 Apr Wind Southwest veering northwest later 5 or 6, decreasing 3 or 4. Sea state Moderate becoming slight. Weather Showers. Visibility Good. IF this forecast does not improve in the next 24 hours, I would say this would be unsafe for small boats, especially with the residual sea state left over from Saturday, and if the change in wind direction or reduction in strength is not early. Decision regarding go / no go has been deferred until tomorrow. Please watch this space. Mike Safety Officer Quote
Jim Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Yes Jim & Steve Davies are going to Fish in the Comp on 13-04-2008 We will be In " Small Fry " Looking Forward to it. Jim Quote
boybilly Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 I have had to cancell because of the forecast Mike. I am not willing to go out with my son and risk it. As you correctly said, the residual sea will be the problem along with dirty water. BB Quote
