Well done to all that made it a success Martin & Neil the main organisers, Paul D, Dave Samuel , Bob Horne and others that chipped in. Charlie summed it up for me: It would be good to put this comp on a stronger footing, to make it more sustainable and less reliant on the few Cheers PJ

An interesting article on Kayak fishing, a good read http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009...monbiot-fishing

go fishing instead ?

Nice to hear from you Sam thats a hell of of cuda mate - see you soon(ish) PJ

Well done Bob, a great effort on the C&R - good to see you enjoying the fruits of your labour (JV) I was up at stupid oclock to get the boat out of the run before the 6am spring low. Fished at dawn with lures and live baits = not a sausage It was tough inshore with sunny conditions and the water being whipped to a foam by air show trafiic. Despite this the best part of the day was about noon when a school of small bass were busting the surface feeding on sandeel. I managed a dozen on the fly rod which was fun but nothing big enough to wiegh. Sunday i got the 5 wieght out and had 30 smalll bass in two hours, saw some gars too - looks like summer has arrived at last PJ

Great fish, a pb to be proud of and well done for releasing it PJ

Glad you enjoyed it Jim PJ

Before we end up selling our boats because the fishings so crap how about investing a tiny porportion of our annual fishing and boating spend on the AT? You know it makes sense. PJ

Nice one James , looks like you had fun despite the tough conditions. I fancied a go but i was stuck at work PJ

Just a reminder guys that instead of a meeting this month we are hosting the Film It looks like we will be quite busy so i suggest you get your drinks in early cheers PJ

Good news Dave. Was the bream on a lure? ( feathers i suspect) the reason i ask is that i'd love to get one on Fly ( talk about making it difficult for oneself ) PJ

Welcome to the club Rob, You will get an email from Bob Fuller our membership secretary confirming that hes received payment. He will send you a membership pack to fill out and inform myself and the treasurer. The website admin team will then update your profile so you have full access. This all happens fairly quickly but the guys have been fishing today so it may not happen tonight cheers PJ
