Greg

Nice one Chris, I look forward to seeing this in all the Society Mags in the waiting room whilst waiting for my dental appointment :) Some good publicity there, Well Done Greg

Happy Birthday Dave You have got to be out there today!! Greg

Impressive Brian But I bet he can't fill out a Wessex Angling Trust FOM Form !!!!!!!!!!

The right letters Neal, just slightly in the wrong order. That proves that I'm not the only one ! Greg

Charlie C is right. Also, the form needs to be a lot more simpler to encourage a Parent/Junior to fill it out and send it off. On a positive note at least the AT are trying to do something to encourage Juniors. Greg

Your'e having a laugh!!!!

Thank you for all your warm wishes guys. Took the day off with the family Yesterday and had a light lunch at Cobbs and finished the day off dining out at La Lupa's. We all had a great meal there with a good atmosphere. Carol and Brad bought me lots of fishy bits and pieces including a 12-20lb class Kenzaki (for the secret Ray mark) and a Shimano spinning reel (to do more Lure fishing this year - Hooky will be proud) Stuie and Alan - unfortunately, the boat is out of the water for her winter maintenance. Could not believe the weather Yesterday. Good luck to all those fishing this weekend with or without their Autopilot! Chris - Through fear of setting off the smoke detectors it's not a good idea putting candles on my cake anymore Sorry Jim had to be done - Wine and Cake last night Thanks again guys and I hope we all have a great year's fishing Greg

I can't understand why they would have edited you out Neal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who makes Cider is very welcome in the club Greg

Nice Choice Jamie I have had my 805 for 4 years now and am very happy with it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine. Ask away for any advise if I can help. Greg

Happy Birthday Martin Hope the lads treat you to some nice fishing gear!!!!!! Greg

Happy Birthday Brian Nice day for fishing!!!!!!!!!!! Greg

Happy Birthday Ian Have a great day, although it's a bit merky up here in the clouds of Matravers today!! Don't take any notice of Neal, he's not aloud beer and cake. Enjoy, Greg

What a great report Nige with some stunning photos. I had a lot of belly laughter reading your report and looking at the photos, it reminded me of a recent TV series, now what was it called; Men Be having Badly ? ------ No Three Men in a Boat ?-----------No I Know: The Real Marigold Hotel :D

Happy Birthday Rich Hope you have a great day Greg

Hi Neil Hi Neal What a great lot of results. Well done to everyone. As far as I understood it at the time Jacob had the same number of species as Brad on the Spring Species Hunt and therefore both were joint winners. Cheers Greg

Happy Birthday Dave May all your celebrations be merry Greg

That's happened to me Charlie a few times - caught on the bottom😂😂😂😂

Happy Birthday Kev Greg

Happy New Year to everyone And let's hope we all have a great year of success Greg

Be careful of the fog. Do not put yourself into any unnecessary risk for a couple of fish. It can be a bit unpredictable out there at the moment. Greg

My laptop is offline at the moment hence why Martin has very kindly uploaded the picture. Thanks Martin. Rob Samways and I set off to the South side of the spoil ground. We arrived at the mark and our squid were still frozen. Without thawing I dropped in a very small squid on a size 6 penned. I then diverted my attention to set up a whiting rod and whilst doing so my rod started to nod. Fish on. The rod tip typically nodded as I was reeling in and I said to Rob this must be a conger! Wrong! A nice 18lb 6oz cod landed within the first 10 minutes of fishing. This was also a personal best for me. Rob caught a nice 8lb Smoothy and as the tide started to race and the Congers got bigger we retired to the Sadler for some gentle Whiting fishing. Rob had about 10 whiting for the pot. So a winning day for both of us. Greg

Belated Birthday wishes Neal, Hope you had a great day with lot's of joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greg

Myself, Rob and Vic have already planned to go out on the 27th December Cod fishing so we will be probably entering the competition. We have unfinished Cuttle and unfinished business !!!!!!!!!! Greg

Charlie Thanks for the info. Very much appreciated. Greg
