Nige what I am saying is, the comp was fished and nothing was caught therefore the trophy doesn't get awarded this year. If the comp had been postponed then another date would be fine, but it wasn't and a lot of boats braved the bad conditions.

The Cod comp was fished on the set date. No Cod weighed in. End of. That's fishing...... Try again next year.

I wish Rob can't get it for another four years

Thanks for the birthday wishes. No fishing today but will be out tomorrow might be a late start !!!,!,

Been using one for months they also do a wireless blue tooth version. 100% accurate

Rob afraid not I was just the boat driver all the shots were of the cliffs and beach.

I too will not be at the meeting. I am taking auditions for the Dorset Youth Jazz Orchestra. If anyone has a budding young musician in the family I am always on the lookout for good players.

Ian the New Zealand way would be really good but they follow up with the punishments where as over here it's only a slapped wrist!!!! Don't start me on trawling. I was out a couple of weeks ago with my son who is making a pop video. We were very early, first light, and right in front of us going along the small boat channel of the swash on the training bank side was a Beamer. I didn't have time to get close enough to get his PE number or boat name as we had to get the film done at first light. Just pure greed .

At 0700hrs last Wednesday there was a combined fisheries and police raid at Evening Hill. The target for this raid was the gang of Chinese shell fish gatherers who have been hammering the Clams, mainly Razor Clams. Please be aware it is illegal to take Clams, this includes Razors, without a licence. I have spoken to the fisheries and they confirmed this includes Razors for bait !!!!!

We spend a lot of time fishing on the drift on Boblin and have managed some very good catches over the years. It's an enjoyable way of catching fish. So why is it that there are people out there intent on making it less enjoyable. I'm talking about the prats that decide to start a drift down tide/wind and only a few meters away. I've grown up with drift fishing and there was always an unwritten rule that you always start your drift uptide of someone already on a drift, not muscle in front. This etiquette seems to be completely ignored these days which I think is such a shame. It's not just Wally anglers who don't know what they are doing. We have had a lot experienced anglers in decent boats set their drift just meters down tide of us over the last few weeks. Anyway rant over. Get out there and drift for those red spots there's plenty enough for all this year. Just remember to think of others before you start your drift.

It's great in October come and fish the Festival Bobi and me will be there clambering over the rocks and cliffs. Catching 40lb Conger on the shore is great fun.

Instead of staying indoors with your rod in your hand eh? ;-)

It's the May water it's the worst I have seen for many years. The mackerel don't like it and they tend to stay off shore when it is like this. Once the water clears they will be there.

Common Skate were caught in this area in the sixties along with Monkfish too. Back in the days of the poole festival and the bournemouth festival I remember Brian Morris borrowing a rod reel and gear and going out to fish one of these comps (can't remember which) and returning a cracking Monkfish to win the festival. The weigh in was at the back of Less James's shop in the high street, I don't remember the weight but it was a big un.

We have been struggling for macs too over the last couple of weeks. We only managed three first thing on Sunday, but left a set of feathers dangling when we were at anchor and managed another ten which kept us in fresh bait. I have also noticed this jelly stuff on the line too and the May water is leaving the line all brown. On the plus side though the Ray fishing is brilliant ;-)

Nice one Dave great to see you have realised your dream. It seems such a long time ago that we were on our power boat course together and you were saying that you would like to get a "proper fishing boat" . Bobi and I wish you many years of great fishing long may you bag up with many species and big ones at that. Fantastic have a great trip.
