Great report Lofty and well done on the effort you have put in.
I don't know how you pull the reports together so well, maybe another refresher required! (please)
I enjoy doing reports just get frustrated when I try and attach things they add on upside down etc!!
Good luck for your fishing this year.
Hi Mike
Grip is perfect and they dont get caught in the landing net mesh which one pair of fishing boots did and would sent me across the deck, not a pretty sight.
They were donated to the wheelie bin!!
Hi Mike
I have been invited a couple of times to join a team for comps, and personally as Nigel says it was so intense the enjoyment was lost for me.
The club comps and the Poole Species Comp is about the limit for me, timewise and enjoyment.
The banter we all have on a day out is part of it for me.
There is an invite to come out anytime that may help you no problem, kettle is always warm!
With all these offers I can see Frisky Fox up for sale!!
Just reordered a new pair of boots and these are at half price at the moment.
I have used these for a few years now and always have a pair at home and a pair on the boat. really warm and waterproof.
And they dont leave black scuff marks everywhere.
Just in case anyone is looking for new boots.
Hope the link works.

We joined in both comps and blanked regarding cod!
Lots of action but only with doggies, pout and bull huss the best huss around 10lb.
Well done Nige and Martin a great result on a boarderline weatherwise day!
Good well organised comp and venue by Steve Porter too.
I've got space if anyone is looking to crew, just be aware the last bit of the day may have to be fished over a pint in Cobbs bar if fishing is slow!!
Can throw in a turkey curry as well. (if not can be used as ground bait)
Crew now sorted.
I've just quickly tried the new chart on the boat this morning and there is so much more detail and they have added so many more wrecks and additional information.
You would never be able to fish them all, will be interesting to see if they are there!
Just need a poxy weather window to try it out.
1) Court Jester - Neal Stuie and Ian? 2) Warren - Rich and Alun 3) Awol - Martin & Dean 4) Serenity - Tony - crew needed
5) Kingfisher - Chris W & Jim (Tiddler) + room for a small one! (Crew that is)
Well done to all for pushing on with it, and good results for the efforts.
Holes Bay was white horses until this evening so not ideal for fishing a comp!
Well done lofty a great report, we went passed about that time it was cracking first thing.
Soon changed during the later morning and fog where we went for a while.
Hi Neal
Sorry I didn't know that there was a trophy already.
Nigel would have to get a bigger mantle piece to put them all on if there was more than one!!
