The weather has forced us to Cancel the cod comp. I do not think I have heard of a cod being caught yet in open waters, so we may not be missing much in the way of catching Cod. Are the Cod going to turn up at all this year? Some Charter skippers are starting to search for species other than Cod to fill their days at Sea.
Neal will try to rearrange our Cod Comp.

Neal and I have the same ambitions tomorrow, so we will probably meet you at the 07.30 bridge lifts. Will be on ch6 once out of the harbour. Will be on ch14 through the harbour due to Commercial traffic and expected poor visibility 
Greg

Hi Greg, will be out on the 9.30 Bridge. Hopefully it will be clearer by then. Will give you a call before we leave the Harbour to see what it is like where you are. Do you have AIS?
 
Allan.

Hi Allan
Unfortunately not. I will be trying to head for the south west spoils.
I will judge the visibility When I get down. Just give me a shout on ch6 and hopefully  I will be able update you with the sea state as long as we can get out.

We need some serious luck to be fishing this weekend

Had one like that 3 yes ago whilst taking Charlie A and his boys out. Damn thing broke my finger!!! It was very green and I caught my middle finger under the chin as it rolled, crack!

Now I've broken my ankle, wasn't angling this time mind!!

Great work!!

Happy Birthday Oli

Blanked for cod in the car park then went off to a hole a bit deeper and had some conga and spurdogs. Finished off on dolphin sands on the way home and put a few whiting of decent size in the cooler as well as plaice. Not a complete bust in the end! 

Apart from the fog in the harbour a fantastic day was had onboard Madness last Saturday.  Weather was absolutely perfect the fish were biting and banter was flowing, what more could we ask for. Fish caught were Conger eel (miniscule) Pouting, Whiting, Thornback rays, bass, starfish and whelks, ohh did I forget dogfish? loads of those. All in all a great day afloat with great company, thanks Tony and Neal for joining me.

Happy birthday Stuie and best wishes

Middle of the month and nothing reported yet !  So here's one to start it off.
Caught yesterday [15th]   3 lbs 8 oz.

I spoke with the trainers today and they should post some courses on our site today. Please contact them directly and book your place. Once completed the club will give you an additional discount, see Brian at the next club meet or apply by post.

From the 1st October we can Legally retain 1 Bass per person per day  
 
We therefore agreed at the October club meeting to proceed with  the annual Bass Competition - although for this year in a different format
 
The winner of this years Bass competition will be the individual that catches the largest Bass during the month of October.
 
Where possible please include a picture of the fish - if you can't post it, please forward it to a club member that can.
 
No need to register your intention to fish this competition before hand.
 
Good luck everyone and let's hope the weather allows us all to go out and catch a few! 

Well done Dave
Nice fish mate
 
Dan and Christine are planning on travelling again soon so have not rejoined, last week was his first fishing trip since he got back

Chris and I had a strange start to our Day when Chris spotted a large black refuse sack by stakes bouy. We decided to lift it out as it looked suspicious. Inside the black sack we found two inflated life jackets with names on. We called the find in to the Harbour commissioners just incase anything untoward had happened. On our return to the Harbour we handed in the jackets. 

A fruitful trip on Kingfisher, about 20 rays of all species. We started on the secret Ray mark, my wife, Sandy and Nigel Allen were due to pass us whilst on a trip to Guernsey on the Condor. We had a wave good bye as they left the swash channel, then they turned around were on their way back in with Condor suffering from a Generator problem.
The next hour for them was mayhem. First announcement they were still going after a quick repair, then it was all off the boat it is going no where and did'nt move allday. 
Chris and I had several moves during the day, the most fruitful was a late move back to the Swash.
Our best effort was a 12.8lb  Undulate to MT and a 10.6lb Thorney to MT.
Another good day on Kingfisher, followed by a swift Doonbar😀😀
