Big thanks to Kev for taking me to the secret flounder mark and thanks to Jerry for letting me catch a flounder Great day out plenty to eat and drink 😁 Cheers Dave

Morning all. I know that a number of you took part in the flounder competition yesterday morning run from Salterns. Thanks for your support and a good amount was raised which is greatly appreciated. Somewhat ironically at 0900 the lifeboat launched to a fishing boat in the harbour entrance with engine failure - not sure whether this boat was taking part in the competition but it seemed somewhat appropriate/ironic! All was fine and the vessel was towed to Fishermans Dock. Also thanks to Salterns for hosting and Poole Dolphins SAC for hosting/arranging. If there is ever a group of you that would like to visit the Station and get a tour of the new Boathouse you'd be most welcome. If you email Ali O'Neill that co-ordinates these visits then she and her team would be delighted to sort a time/date.

Thanks to Chris for taking on such a long journey, the tide planning and weather checks necessary are very demanding😂. The chilli was superb and very welcome on a chilly day, lots of tea and good company. 4 fish on Kingfisher, 1 weighed in for me 2lb 7oz. 2 fish to Nigel. A well attended weigh in at Cobbs and generally a good vibe. More flounders caught than I expected but still lots of time with no bites.

And the results are: 1st - Bobi Francis, Flounder 2lb 15oz 2nd - Dave Evans, Flounder 2lb 11oz 3rd - Bob Cocaine, Flounder 2lb 8oz 11 flounders in total weighed Well done Bobi

Then there are no charges either 😎

Well done to Bobby and everyone who caught fish, a challenging day day worth the effort. I was sorry not to be out on Stingray, get well soon Neal and thanks for your hostility last night 😊. Thanks to Martin and Dean stepping in at the last minute to give me a ride. Two Breakfasts Terry.

Well done Bobbi Cleaned up in both competitions and well done Dave for helping consume all of those calories. Nice day to be out in the fresh air. Charlie

Ark at Eeeeeeee more than welcome chaps, I think we had a fair day all in all fish and food what more does one want 😂😂 o boy can't wait for the next flounder comp 😉🙄🙄 Well done Bobby nice fish 👍👍

oops amended with Bobs correct weight...........well that of the fish anyways

What the h-LL is going on steak sandwich and bottle of red + fish ? All I got was 2 coffees and a cup a soup + one fish which I was forced to catch myself 🎣😂😂 all Allan did was drown worms. Only joking Al,atlest we gave it a go, please note weight loss since fishing on Fishegeale 😂😂 well-done Kevin and crew.

After inviting myself to join Kev and Dave we got to the secret mark at 7.45. We waited until 8 to give ourselves a straight 7 hours fishing. Kingfisher arrived about 7.55 and moored next to us, biting wind cut us in half for the first 3-4hrs. Second cast resulted in a plump Flounder about 2lbs, result, one more than we all thought we would catch!!! After around 3 hours we had 4 Flounders on the boat, great session though freezing. Capt Kev, chef patron knocked up a feast as pictured. Fishing on,the sun came out and a fish were still coming on board, Dave having the biggest at 2lbs11oz. Struggling to fish with the snoring coming from Kingfisher, chef patron knocked up a steak sandwich swilled down with a nice bottle of Burgandy. I think we used 2lbs of worms, a lot of food, loads of tea and coffee, and a bottle of red, oh yes and caught 7 Flounders, from around 1lbs8oz to 2lbs11oz. I think we all thought we would be lucky to see a fish let alone have a respectable session. Great day Kev and Dave thanks for having me along and all the instruction🤣🤣 Other pictures show Dave like a coiled spring, Kingfisher in the sun, Kev in action. Great shame only around 15 club members were fishing out of about 200 I think. I was advised joining the club that joining in is the way to learn and get involved, today being case in point. Brilliant fun thank you PBSBAC 😀😀😀😀

Best catch of the day so far

No overnight parking. Unless you join the travelling community .😠
