Dale well done for entering, there are rules and regs on the Club Website third one down in the competitions section, saying about pretty much everything like number of rods, number of hooks, times etc. However obviously everything is done on trust and having fun. Any questions do post again. I will post 48hrs beforehand about weather. Its really good we have a few boats entering and time for more yet

Shame the fishing didn't match the weather... I was surprised how early the May water has arrived this year - presumably the unseasonal amount of sunshine has been a factor? The water at Ballard was much much clearer - you could see the bottom in 12' of water. It was good to be out regardless.

I think i may have a couple in the garage, what are you doing with them. Can you still get spares?

Decided at the last minute Friday afternoon to go for a day's fishing on Saturday as the wind and sea state looked favourable. But what I didn't realise was that the temperature was gong to be so cold. I headed for the Patch via the 07.30 bridges out of Cobbs with Bream and other species in mind. The tide was coming towards slack water so the fishing was quite slow mainly small Bream and the odd Ballan. Just before the tide was going to run again I uplifted the anchor and moved a little distance to an old Bream mark. As the tide started to ebb, the larger Bream came on. In fact every drop some nice Bream were coming aboard. All went back alive to fight/breed for another day. As I wanted to up my species I moved to the SRM. No rays but and an LSD and a nice size Smoothound to about 7lb came aboard. I then decided to drift for a Plaice for an hour before going in with no joy but a passing small Bass did oblige. All in all a good day's fishing with 6 species for the day and the a much warmer end of the day too. (Thankfully)

1st time for me in a club Comp, What's the plan for the day please? is it the biggest bream?, most bream? collective weight of bream (most will be returned on my boat). Is there a rod limit? Just so i have an understanding. Thanks, Dale
