Thanks Charlie, We are our tomorrow and Saturday. I have just bought the new batteries for the radio to listen in as you mentioned. Apparently, Brad has seen that on Saturday a B52 Bomber will be doing a fly by. Now that will be a sight for sore eyes !! Lets just hope the weather Gods got the Memo !!! Sunday does not look good at the moment. Cheers Greg

You will probably find Neil that you will be pestered by Tope whilst fishing for the Rays, like we were on the Species Hunt Comp. !! I find that they tend to come out to play either side of slack water. And don't worry if you do not have any fresh mackerel, they were taking our frozen Squid!! Good lick, Greg

Belated Birthday Wishes Neil, Sound like you had a great day 👍 The joys of being a Summer Baby 😀 Me popped out in February ☹️ Greg

Happy Birthday Mick, Hope you have a great day on this Fine day 😀 Greg

Fish that most of us could only dream of catching !! POM Contenders 👍 Well done guys, Greg

Thanks Allan Greg

This was the main reason for asking the question. I had a visit by the fisheries boat last year and I know that they are more active this year. Thank you everyone for clarifying. Lures it is then !!!!! Cheers Greg

Hi Allan, I would love to attend the event, however, it is my son's birthday party/BBQ that evening, so I will not be able to make it. Dave was a true professional and very talented and was always there to give free advise. I would like to donate £30.00 to the charity and I will give you the cash at tomorrow's evening club meeting. I do not want any raffle tickets. Greg

I have a conservation question for you Allan. At a club meeting prior to Christmas of last year, (in the absence of our conservation officer) our Chairman Tony stood up and warned members not to take below legal weight limit fish to use for live bait for catching larger fish. So, Can you confirm this is still the case? or, did I mis-understand Tony's statement? Greg

The results today from Marlin:- Greg T - Black Goby, Pout, Ballan Wrasse, Plaice, Conger Eel, LSD, Tope = 7 Species Mike Fox - Corkwing Wrasse, Black Bream, Black Goby, Pout, Goldsinny Wrasse, Bailions Wrasse, Whiting, Cuckoo Wrasse, Plaice,Tub Gurnard, Conger Eel, LSD, Tope = 13 Species. Having not fished a species comp for over three years it was frustrating how out of touch I was today with my fishing. Also, it was hard going as the wind picked up a lot more than forecasted. We could not catch Mackerel for love nor money which was both frustrating and quite disturbing, also, disappointing not to have any Rays on board too. However, one bonus of the day was having Mike on board to get some good tips on bait and rig preparations and he helped out greatly with the crewing. Thanks Mike for all your help (especially getting drenched by the rain on the last pull of the hook !!!!). Cheers mate.

Thank Christ this is an individual comp and not a Boat Comp!!! 😏

Marlin - Greg and Brad Sunday at the moment !!!

Yep, I went down today to get the cards re-programmed for the new car park operation. To be told this has been delayed due to software issues!!! I voiced my frustration to the girl on the desk as they could have let me know beforehand and I would not have made a special trip down. Chas informed me that a code is now required for the gates as the cards do not work due to a director cancelling the security numbers off of all the MDL group's cards. Idiot!! They have little consideration for their customers.

Good call Jerry, Brad and myself were looking to take part this weekend but have been put off by the weather forecast. I would not be against holding the comp in the harbour. It will put everyone on a level pegging including the smaller boats (kayak) who will be able to compete. To be able to win this comp (if held in club waters) you need to travel a few distances to catch the variety of species to compete. I wonder if due to the current fuel cost, this may be a contributing factor why there is not the interest in the number of boats entering this comp as it will be quite expensive on fuel? The obvious problem to restricting the comp to the Harbour is the members who birth in the east of the club waters. However, as this is an individual comp then members at this end of the bay may be able to offer them a place on their boats. Just a couple of thoughts. Greg

Good shout Jerry, And thanks for giving us enough notice. Greg

Well, Sunday looks great for Weather ☹️☹️

Well done Neil, It's great when a plan comes together 👍 I have swam with a Stingray but never caught one. Greg

Marlin - Greg and Brad Sunday 19th June

The short spikes on the lateral line reminds me more of the Mother in Law 😬😬 A lovely fish Alan, Thanks for sharing. Greg

Got anything else you want to get rid of then Mick ??????? 😁

Happy Birthday Mick, Just to inform you that the reel you sold me a couple of years ago was the one I used on the Bream Comp to catch the winning fish 👍 Greg

Thanks Jim Greg

Thanks Mick Greg
