codpiece Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 Otter may be out but only for an outside day conditions permitting. I'm not quite ready for the harbour yet I'm afraid............. particularly as Otter is well on form now What Trevor is trying to say is my longliner has shed its bl!!dy keel band. Derek. Quote
great white Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 If we are to fish the comp as published IE a dual ray and flatty comp then IMHO it should be in weather that allows both to be fished for. That means a call needs to be made on safety grounds. That said I am sure that I will not be the only one that would appreciate some notice if it is to be changed to Sunday. For crew and bait reasons. Charlie Quote
Jim Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 I doubt I'm gonna get out this month, so carry on without me again. But good luck to the ones who get out. Jim Quote
alun j. Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 YO - YO !!! Sat. now looking much better than Sun.!! Alun. Quote
Coddy Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Hi Adam Just playing devils advocate, can you submit 2 x fish, one a ray and one a flat fish? Just a thought Booking in: Lady Christine should out to play with Bill as crew, whether we catch any specimens is another matter! Dave Edited October 7, 2009 by Coddy Quote
Adam F Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Hi Adam Just playing devils advocate, can you submit 2 x fish, one a ray and one a flat fish? Just a thought Booking in: Lady Christine should out to play with Bill as crew, whether we catch any specimens is another matter! Dave Ummm......Yes, I guess so? There is a trophy for each - so why not. It is basically two comps in one. The split between rays and flatties gives the smaller inshore boats a chance at winning. Quote
pirky Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Posted October 8, 2009 Adam Ben and I intend to fish the comp so book us in on "Now or Never" please. Dave Quote
petesnr Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 in my case its a real no no to have indecision about which day the comps are on. if the arranged day is no good then I for one wont be rearranging to fish the next day. I'm pretty sure there would be less participation if it's switched from sat to sun. It also leads to loss of brownie points--only women are allowed to change their minds. Quote
Rob Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 I agree Peter - too short a notice for a points transfer. Quote
Adam F Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 I agree Peter - too short a notice for a points transfer. " Did I say Saturday darling?? no, no, no.... you must be mistaken!! You should know by now that all club comps are on a Sunday.... silly you!! Never mind" Sat is looking the better day, so unless it changes dramatically the comp will be on. Quote
great white Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Sat best day, comp On, Thats good. Alfresco will join in I will have to see if I can get Gordon away from work and gardening, to join Alun Dan and I. If not, I will post that I have a space available. Charlie Quote
Brian Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) I'll be fishing the comp on Saturday. That's "MegaByte" with me and Gerry (a non-member) Edited October 8, 2009 by Brian Quote
great white Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Gordon and Alun will be joining Dan and I on Alfresco for the competition. Need a few more rays than last week, so lets hope they are still about. Tight lines all Charlie Quote
Coddy Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Just as a weather safety angle At the time of writing wind is looking Westerly 8-10kts with a swell of approx 1mtr. This should be ok for most craft BUT it is down to the skipper to make the final decision. Poole harbour tide - LW 08.30, HW 12.00 & 18.00 so should be ok to recover for those using Baiter.

petesnr Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Tony has invited me on Serenity so we should be out there somewhere on Saturday (or was it Sunday?) Now where's my bit of seaweed gone--not blown away I hope! Quote
Wight Magic Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Wight Magic will be out with Dave & Dean Evans Quote
Brian Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 The latest NFSA Specimen Size list for Area D (can't find anything on the Angling Trust site), states that the specimen size for a flounder is 2lb 8oz, but a PBSBAC Record list that I have states the specimen size is 3lb. Which is correct, and which are we fishing to tomorrow? I thought the club fished to NFSA/Angling Trust sizes. Quote
Paul D Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 The specimen size is indeed 2lb 8oz ( I think it was changed in the past from 3lb if I recall ). The catch reports database on the website uses 2lb 8oz to calculate the percentage specimen size - so the new specimen percentages calculated by the website are correct ( as in to Area D - NFSA/Angling Trust ) When the current record holder flounder was caught the specimen size probably was 3lb and the % weight was as shown. I guess this could be recalculated when a bigger fish is caught ? - but will leave Adam to decide its fate :0 Quote
Barney Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 The Grinch will be fishing the comp tomorrow with Mick and Mike 02380 on board Quote
rich Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 I shall be out on "Warren" along with Allan Green. Rich Quote
Paul D Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 I shal be fishing the comp with non club member James onboard. Quote
George Fox Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 Frisky Fox will be fishing today with Carol Mike and myself. Good luck all George Quote
