Wow what a good show- 53 entrants- well done Adam for another successful event. Fishing Wasn't great although We did get the winning Fish on board- Well done Rich, you also deserve an Award for the breakfast! Highlight of my fishing was a squid of about a pound Paul J

With the weather being so nice Friday and reports that it would go down hill over the weekend i had to get out. A race against time and tide saw me sneak out off Mudeford at 5pm. Paul D came by the Yard to show off his new Car just before i launched and very nice it is too. Sea was flat and what a joy it was to head off into the Sun towards hengisbury head. Birds soon gave away where the Mackerel were and with the sea so Flat you could see them breaking the surface. Several drifts later I had plenty of bait but a free lined livey and several tosses of the plastic didn't produce any siver bars, - great fun though. Saw Alun J was a bit further out so i decided to go have a chat but just as got half way he shot off in another Direction so i wemt to the ledge. Tide had just started flooding 8 - 8:30pm so i gave it 1/2 hour and got a couple of dogs and a wrasse. Not wanting to be out to long by myself and with no lights i had to up sticks a bit early and head in to the Run. I decided to troll a plug on the other side of the Bar until the tide rose a bit before going up the harbour. it was a little weedy but alittle Bass of 1 1/2 lbs jump on my raparla a gave me some fun That was it, a very enjoyable evening, Wish i had more time Paul J

Duncans called me and said he was down at Rockly and looking to go fishing tomorrow. He's not online so he asked me to relay this message for Him "Any club member that fancies crewing for him on Phaeton tomorrow give him a call on his mobile" ( it's on the membershiplist) Cheers Paul J

Jack, I agree, going for Marlin and the really big stuff is not my bag. Give me 30 - 100lb tuna all day long with everyone hooked up at the same time Paul J

I've been thinking along these lines as well especially after seeing Matt hayes go for Wahoo in madera. Portugal might offer some good value sport as well. it's certainly worth exploring Paul J

i'll be doing my annual trip to St Dogmaels just outside Cardigan in August 5 hour drive but one's got to see ones parents and it's a great estuary to Fish Paul J

Not sure what my plans are exactly but i plan to do a bit in mine and crew for others another day I'm sure arrangements will firm up closer to the date Paul J

I went down the river in the morning and blanked was done by 11am Paul J

Sam, this is usually a fun day out Paul J The very popular and successful Christchurch Angling Club Open Day event will be held at the Somerley Lake Fishery on Saturday 20th August 2005, commencing at 0930hrs.

All will be welcome on the day, children are particularly welcome. Lessons will be available to all in the following disciplines: Coarse Fishing Fly Casting Fly Dressing Sea Fishing Casting Regards rods and reels, don't rush into it, we'll talk and i'll take you out in the Whaler to have a flick one evening as soon as the weather improves Paul J

I just made a dropper but have yet to test it 2" plastic tube drilled full of holes Cut a keel roller in half for end caps which are held in place by a Knotted bungee cord running up the centre of the tube and through the hole in each end cap. Make a stainless wire loop for the handle and a smaller wire loop to attach the wieght. Paul J

So what your saying mike is "your being kind to your sick friend if you kick him in the nuts? Paul J

Yep, good to see you out and about finally Duncan. I went out in the morning and had a sniff round the Harbour (xchurch) but nothing at all about on the ebb. Paul J
