Black Bream 3lbs Second place. Colin Frances Boblin Black Bream 2lbs 13oz Third Place. Mike Hall Fisheagle Black Bream 2lbs 12oz Species comp now only a couple of weeks away so let’s hope to be rid of the easterlies by then. Jerry

Hi all, thought I'd say Hello. Just (re)-joined after a long absence (and with a commitment to be a more active participant this time 🙂). My boat Splash Out (Alaska) was owned by an active member prior to me (I bought her 2008 ish). Hope to join in a fair amount, learn a lot & contribute where I can. Apart from being out on the boat, do a lot of flyfishing on the rivers here and Devon, & fancy a go at the salt water fly fishing this year. Berthed at Cobbs on the stack. Look forward to meeting up.

It has just been announced that Southern IFCA have agreed to a 200mtr netting ban around a number of piers in Dorset and Hampshire To see the official notice here is the link https://www.southern-ifca.gov.uk/news

and poor old Wedger has piles.😄

I've got the job of helping him with that! 🤪

It's nice to see Jim can still get wood, even at his age. Well, somebody had to say it. Terry.

Got a pile here for you Jim 😃.

Just so there's no confusion, the accommodation I have booked is for the period travelling over on the 2nd and returning on the 5th July. Terry.

Thanks Jerry for persevering! 👏

Nice to see Sam has re-joined the Club, with his family and Hydra. Charlie

I didn’t register to enter the comp, late Sunday after a very difficult day at work I had to get out no matter what the winds or tides we’re doing Alan was moored up and advised me to stay well clear of the ledges, he had come through huge swells ( 3 attempts) . I crawled up the swash, it really was nasty 🤮, back to the harbour to drag up some weed I suppose 😁 Monday 😁wow, a whole day off , I went straight over to Poole outer, anchored ( first time this year) used a very lightweight rod with tiny hooks ( I’m one handed at the moment) **** ( a tale for another thread) to just get a couple of fish on . Wrasse was the target, Four species, And a tiny Bream 😀 Also got a visit from the fisheries vessel 👍 On the bad side of the day was the boat traffic, how close do these stupid yacht owners need to come.( would you leave a auto helm switched on with so many vessels around 😤bloody dangerous) Why do these stupid jet ski owner need to congregate ( about 10) within 60 feet playing very loud wrap music when they have miles of open sea to play on 🤬 Coming back through the harbour got far worse !,,, I suppose that the wrisk of a bank holiday , a great day ruined by the selfishness of others.

Belated Birthday Greetings from me also Trev🎂 Hope you enjoyed the day 🍻 🍷

Sorry Trev. I missed it. Glad you had a great day. Hope you've tidied up all your loose ends now and can start to relax a bit more. Jim

We tried Poole patch on the Saturday, but it was very lumpy with that easterly and we were getting no bites. Moved over to Ballard down and anchored a few different spots. Had about 15 bream between two of us, and two wrasse. As others had, a small selection of bream with only one within legal size probably. Dan

A late entry for the Alderney trip, Kingfisher will be joining in as Terry has done the business on “late bookings.com” by securing some accommodation. Myself and Dogfish Dave will be joining the trip. Thanks again Terry. 👍

Enjoy Sir! R
