Kingfisher 126

Happy Birthday Rob, can't think why you didn't want to buy everyone a pint tonight!! Hope you had a good one. Not sure about your chicken hat! How long have you been a member of that club?

Kev you will have to see if Jacob will share it with you!!

No brill there Jim, you need to get out more. What a cracking report, glad the benefits of everyone's time and effort are now paying off. This can only go from strength to strength for all involved. Looks like Martin has a flair for the fishing too!! You know what they say Paul always use a rubber for protection, a classic case here over your connections!!

Their will be a Hamper awarded to the winner and 'festive' prizes given to everyone that weighs in a flounder. The weigh in will be at Cobbs Quay - from 4.30 - 5.00 followed by the award giving for the Junior Specimen Competition held earlier this Summer Book in as usual - Kayaks welcome! 1) Court Jester - Plus Crew TBA 2) Alfresco - Charlie, Sam 3) kingfisher - Chris, Crew TBC

Nice try Nigel, not sure about shouting about dogging in carparks though! No fishing for me today, had a party at Hamble last night? stayed over and went for a walk early doors and not a breath of wind!! Sam is catching a fair few at the moment, hope he leaves one for me!

Blimey Martin its only a water heater I did replacing!! Good luck with the finding the right person with the right qualities you require. Chris

Looks like its a job for life if he can get that lot in them jeans!! Got to be worth a try for an hour or so!!

Might be worth putting some bait on the anchor!!

I, m out too. Make sure them fenders are out Nigel if weather permits a trip to see you! I hear a few caught again today. Chris

Good effort one and all, always nice to get a response for peoples effort too.

What you have to remember Charlie is how many people in goverment have fishing intrests against how many are landlords and land owners? If it meant farms etc would suffer there would be a queue in goverment to shout for the action required! As always never quite fair for all. Its a start though.

Well done gents and a very well done Jacob again putting alot of us to shame!! Endland boat squad for Jacob soon if he carries on!

I bet that was a handful to get in!!!

Biggest hook up we had was a hook into Stu,s finger! A 1lb weight fell over the side causing the following hook to embed in his index finger and the bouncing weight making sure it was well in! I cut the hook in two and tried with a pair of pliers to get it out, no chance. Ended up dropping him on the quay and he jumped in a cab to A&E, all sorted and a couple of boxes of antibiotics for his trouble. Well done Poole Hospital. Cheers Jim for a good day out, just short on quality fish next time hopefully. Chris

4 years before I got here!!

Leaving yourself open there Brian, hope your not going to say that you was there?

Makes Charlies slip up look not too bad!!

Martin you are more than welcome, anytime. Mal, you think the worse of me!! Thanks guys for the banter with Leanne Monday, walked into a war zone after work!! Only joking she was still laughing when I got in, nice one. Chris

Hi Lofty, Willing to be a saftey, support boat if you require (could do teas and coffees). Let me know either way. Chris

I think we need to start looking at a handicap system for the comps Nigel, now the cod-father is on the list!!!

Book in as usual 1) Court Jester - Neal Alfie, Stuie 2) Kingfisher, Chris, Jim (Tiddler) & Stu (Non member) 3) Fisheagle 4) Serenity 5) Alfresco? 6) Hobit plus 1 non member ( staying in the harbour as first time out with new engine ! )

I've got a feeling we will be giving this monster a name soon, Nessie comes to mind!!

Hi, Do you think we need be starting a new thread / topic for the new comp date? Looking massive on this one. Just a thought.

I have a couple of pairs of these, one pair on the boat and a pair for when I go fly fishing they have been great. Very warm too. http://www.cottontraders.com/highland-waterproof-boot/invt/aq11079 Even cheaper link. http://www.cottontraders.com/invt/aq10502#.UoCDLmanzMI Chris
