Great. Well done Mike.

Boobs.

BOOBS

A picture of Madness heading out. Martin's got the full version movie. I'll get a short film sorted for general viewing. Jim

Oh yeah ! Very good. It's a small eyed ray ! W e l l ! Iv'e never had one before so it's a PB for me !

Martin posted on here that he had a space for crew for this comp. after a quick phone call the space was mine ! As always Martin & Dean are great hosts and work together so well that " crew " is not very accurate. " Easy day " would be better. We were down at Cobb's for just after 7. I'd been to Castaways for bait ( Ian opened up early for us ) so it had been kept nice and fresh overnight. After the logging in we set off for the 08:30 bridge lift. Perfect timing to get the Hexacopter drone out for some action shots. . . . . . . . . Outside the Harbour I asked Martin to stop so I could launch the drone again. Got some good film of Madness in action. Stopped again for Dean to catch the drone for me and off to the " secret mark " As Martin lowered his line it was " fish on " and we were all enthused. Then it was " he's got off " We think it was a mackerel. ( we could have done with that point ) We didn't have any other Mackerel all day! I had a Small eyed ray ( my first ever ) Martin had a Smooth hound. I had some fish on but my trace was not up to the job and kept losing hooks. We moved to the next " secret mark " and had Undulates. Then on to the swash and Dean was straight into the Wrasse. Various sorts. Then Poole Patch and Dean was " on fire " he had allsorts .. . Bream, Pout, more Wrasse. . . .and. . . and . . . and Martin and I had a few but Dean was way out in front. Back in for the compulsory " Castle drifts " ( few more wrasse ) Then back in with the 4:30 bridge. I think we had about 150 points. Again Martin & Dean. Thank you for a great day out. Jim

Sorry I had to rush away ! What were the scores ? / Who won ? I didn't get any phone calls so I know it wasn't me. I'd like to thank the Organisers for making it all work. And thank you to the weather man . . . . . for giving me WIND !

Hi Tim, Meeting tonight if you're joining. No meeting tonight if you're not ! Although you could always come along for a look. Jim

They were taken off safely that's what's important.

Are you on Google Chrome ? Before I changed from Internet explorer to Chrome I couldn't paste. Jim

Health and safety would be " all over that "
