Specimen   Well done to all who have registered fish throughout a very difficult year for everyone. Let's hope this year gets sorted and back to some sort of normality for everyone. The most important thing is to stay safe. If it is possible to take a photo or you have taken a photo that is in the results of Fish of the Month please either upload it so it can to added to the thread or send it to a committee member to add it. Some cracking fish being caught and it would be good to share them.

Hi Lofty, Sign Tech is where I got the banners made for the club and we use for work. Steve Maton, 01202 672000. unit 3, Manor Park.

Interesting times ahead? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51319257

A Blonde Ray around 15lb and the Small Eyed Ray of 17lb 10oz.

Have a good day Dave, a perfect excuse for a beer or ten. 🍺🍺🍺🎂👍

Well done both, that’s what you call a Christmas present, enjoy. 👍👍🍾

Looking good Brian only 997 pieces to go!!! 😂😂

Blimey I didn’t expect all this for a ray, looking like Trump may need to step in and sort it out!!! I had slight doubt about the lack of lines on the body and as mentioned they don’t always have them on older fish I was told. Ive caught a few blondes today and they are completely different once you compare them. I was only concerned it was right as it took the club record, sorry Colin. Thanks for the interest guys and thanks Stuie for your efforts to date, top man. 👍

Thanks to Andy for running a comp alongside the club comp and the presentation venue, with food etc. Also team Fisherman’s Cafe for the food, all went down very well after quite a nippy day at times.

Kingfisher will be out making the most of owed days holiday!! 👍

Done, very easy.

1. Serenity - Tony - Jim 2. Marichelle - Mick & James ( non member) 3. Fisheagle with Allan and Mike Hall entering both Comps. 4. Kingfisher - Chris, Dogfish & Niggle. (Both comps)

Well done Steve on finding a decent cod. A great turn out for the comps and a few cod to the scales. On Kingfisher we didn’t find them but had a fun day with a few different species including Dave hooking a porbie twice, second time we got it alongside the boat. A great achievement considering the tackle being used and the tide. tried to get a loop around its tail as it had a trace wrapped around it an cutting into it. Sadly didn’t manage to get it off. Dave has more video that he is going to edit but a short piece to see below. Cheers Andy for a well run Comp to run alongside club comp and putting on food and venue for meeting up exchanging the days stories. 👍 IMG_3894.MP4

Main concern should be Bucks Fizz tickets were the most expensive!! 👨‍👨‍👧‍👧👨‍👨‍👧‍👧😩
