Kingfisher 126

Well done Martin, great report well done on helping out. if I help out grounded yacht I usually take a line from the mast lanyard so when you pull it lifts the keel. Always a tricky thing trying to unground boats, can cause damage to both boats, great effort though. 👏

👏👏👏👍

Hi Jim, Just watched this on the laptop and it's very impressive, well done great effort. 👍👋

Sorry to hear that Charlie, always a worry when things go wrong, finding the problem then getting the parts. Then there’s parting with the cash, that’s a guts ache regards leadtime. Give me a shout if cabin fever is getting the better of you, always welcome on board. 👍

A family day out but Blake fished the comp only one Gilthead at 14ozs. We did have an interesting time with some large smoothounds biggest 6/7lb. plenty of small bass, but we had a bonus species a silver eel, then ten minutes later I thought we had a strap conger but it was a huge silver eel. Weighed in at 2lb 4oz, well done Blake a cracker apart from the slime everywhere. 🫣 8 Bass, 4 Smoothounds, 2 Silver Eels, 1 Gilthead Bream. Comp Result. Blake - Gilthead Bream 14oz. Silver Eel new club record.

Myself, son James and Brian as Greg said headed to South Deep. Brian had a few schoolies then a Gilthead of 1lb 6ozs, more schoolies. I fished off the bow and had my line taken and it was a smoothound of 5/6lb and another slightly smaller just after. Then I had a huge Gilthead but tried to lift it onto the bow without a net and dropped it halfway out, schoolboy error on comp day. 😢 Weed got bad so headed out to Swanage, wind was bad so stayed in the bay, had a few black bream between us, biggest was 1lb 10oz to me. Tried again in the harbour but the weed was horrendous so called it a day. You wasn’t on your own Rob I left the squid in the fridge that were next to the ragworms, another schoolboy error but Dave Evans kindly gave us a packet to save a trip to the quay. Cheers Dave. 👍👏. Result Brian P - Gilthead 1lb 6oz Chris W - Black Bream 1lb 10oz. Blake W is fishing in Comp Sunday (junior)

That list of things to remember is getting longer Martin. 🫣😂😂

Hi Rob, There was a Flounder Shore Comp a couple of days before our Species Comp in Dec with 50 Anglers, no flounders caught. I was talking to a guy who organises comps for a club last year was the first year their top angler never caught a flounder in 30yrs of being a club member, they are blaming the number of seals now in the harbour.

After reading that Jerry I feel like a teenager, many thanks. Get well soon mate. All joking apart what c--p luck that is, hopefully some good news will come your way. 🤞

Merry Christmas to all, good health for 2026 and tight lines. Enjoy the break. 🍷🍺🥂✈️
