Also, added an unlisted species - again 20 max of each and only 1 point each. -- e.g. Bass + 5 points - so 2 bass = 6 points total, 20 bass = 24 points, 30 bass = 24 points All Juniors must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Note: If a competition day is cancelled it may not be re-scheduled. Juniors must be registered at least the day before each competiton starts (execpt for the last date (Sept) when 2 weeks notice is required). Registering is via the Comp Organiser or on this forum thread below. Juniors over 11 are expected to bait up, cast and retrieve fish on their own with minimal help. In event of a tie on points, the younger competitor will finish in the better position. Comp Organiser's decision is final. The score sheet below: Rob JuniorCompScoreSheet2018.pdf

Myself and Andrew from our welsh section ventured up to Llyn Padarn set in the Snowdonia National Park. We have been working closely with the charity change step , A team of veteran peer mentors who use their own experiences to help veterans confront challenges in their lives, and to navigate and engage with support services throughout Wales. Fresh from going up the country’s highest mountain Snowdon , our veterans were given some brief paddle skills training before spending an hour touring the lake in groups of three . Some even demonstrated some enviable self rescue techniques 😀 A cracking day afloat with a great group of lads and lass in a stunning location .👍

Kimmeridge has always been my favourite launch but not a good option for lady jane so with a great forecast back to basics.

With JV serviced and ready for the summer we have had a few short inshore trips recently as the bream have arrived. As many others have found the water is sill very cold so not much else around other than the bream and a few wrasse and pout, but bream in good numbers on the usual Poole Bay marks. Sat saw 3 of us catching around 30 fish in only a couple of hours. Looks like we choose the wrong dates for Alderney this week end coming but roll on the next batch of calm weather so we can get offshore. Good to be back!

The Annual Bream Competition will be held this coming weekend - 12th / 13th May This will be held in conjunction with the Poole Sea Angling Centre Bream Competition on Sunday 13th May All members are asked to support this competition as Poole Sea Angling Centre provide support to the club and its members Please put your names down if you intend to fish - plus which day
