We had the same last Friday Stuie, loads of Dogs and Straps - In my opinion it is still too early for Cod on the spoils they do not normally arrive there in any numbers till mid December. It's a long way down to the IOW for the Cod comp so I will be hoping Andy does another comp in the Christmas break, that's when I tend to have more luck on the spoils. Greg

Happy Birthday Mal Sounds like you had a good one Greg

Just like us then Tony!

Well she looks like she is enjoying something plastic!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Stuie hope you have a great relaxing day Greg

I will have it if it is still available Neil I will make a donation to HOW Our charity Heroes on the Water Pm me your mobile No I am up and down the A34 a lot at the moment And can arrange to collect Greg

If I was him I would have kept tight lipped about that!!!!

Brilliant report Rob It's great when a plan comes together and to catch so many large fish. I can only look on with sheer envy, Greg

Possibly Charlie Both years were on the annual December cod comp. I was fishing with 25lb Wiplash, 50 lb leader and 70lb mono trace. This year I will be taking my 50lb class Finord. 50lb Braid and 100lb leader and 150 lb trace. Just in case it decides to show again. Both times before we used whole squid baits.

It would be a good idea if we start off by each giving our locations and time of year of the hook in. This might give us a target area. On Marlin we were on the south west side of the Spoil Ground in late December. Two consecutive years virtually on the same date and the same mark we hooked into the fish. Swam off slowly and broke line, impossible to hold.

Tell me it didn't Allan ?

Whatever reel you go for ( I have the Saltist collection 20HA, 30HA and the 40HA) They will only last if you take great care of them. I religiously clean mine after every use and have them serviced by Dave Lines annually, they are 5 years old now and are just as good as the day I bought them. Also, you get what you pay for. Expect to spend over £150.00. Greg

Happy Birthday Nige Hope Sandy has surprised you with a new pair of Budgie Smugglers for your Caribbean cruise !! Greg

Our brief report is that we popped out for about 3 hours and caught three rays. Nothing over 10lb 4ozs (Undulates) Decided to get back and watch the Grand Prix on the boat on the berth as I was fed up of being thrown about out there !!!!!!!!!! Greg

Marlin- Greg and Brad - Sunday

If the weather holds then myself and Brad will take part in the Ray comp. oh, and if the boat holds up too as it has just been mended!!!

Happy Birthday Allan I hope you have a very enjoyable day. Greg

It was a pleasure to meet you briefly at Thursday's meeting Colin. Hopefully if my boat is up and running by next Sunday I hope to will see you out there. Being a farmer with 500 head of sheep as well as crops it is amazing how you find the time to go fishing! Good luck and do not be afraid to ask any questions on this forum. As you may already be aware there is a wealth of knowledge in this club and feel free to ask away. Greg

Happy Birthday Dave, Greg

Well done Chris Greg

Never mind Nige, sometimes you just have to accept that there is only one Kingfisher!!!!!!!

Wow Chris What a result. What about the others on your boat? Surely you did not catch those Bass all by yourself as well as skippering too! Greg
