Happy Birthday, did you catch the Cod in your fish and chips? if you did you kept it quiet😂😂😂 Have a great evening

If anyone requires crew I would love to go, especially as without boat at that time!!

Good luck Brian, it’s a tricky road selling a boat, I hope I have just sold mine. Megabyte looks in great condition, feel sure she will sell quickly

Good condition trailer for sale. I had new brakes and bearings put on last summer, it has never seen saltwater since, and only bought the boat from Wiltshire back to Cobbs. Brand new spare wheel. £2200

I would hope it might save NZ fisheries as they are so prolific if they manage to implement cameras or staffing. As for us, goodness only knows, just look at the Comp yesterday. Well done on the two fish caught guys!!!

Happy Birthday Dave have a good one

Happy birthday Kev, have a pint in the Green Tree for me!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Happy Birthday, hope you have been chasing a Flounder!!

Watching the weather and trying to work in a days fishing at this time of year is always tough. Today looked hopeful for a week now and everything came good, all except Mal was enjoying himself in the sun celebrating the fact he had caught all the Cod!!!!! Left Cobbs at 6*45 and crept under the bridge with 2-7m clearance scraping the aerials, with such a good forecast and pretty big tides we stayed our end of the bay, after a couple of hours Kingfisher appeared and anchored close by. At this point we had only had, not a strap but a bootlace!! a Tope and a pollack around 8lbs. Everything was slow. I called Kingfisher who, as usual was struggling to keep up with bites and fish!!! He kindly suggested to move and join him, after a slight struggle to retrieve the anchor we discovered the stainless good quality D shackle joining the anchor warp to the chain had completely twisted and broken. This basically meant an end to our day, after much struggling with mulgrips and adjustables, I called Kingfisher to see if he had a hacksaw, at this point Charlie on Alfresco heard our problems and called to check we were ok. We collected the hacksaw from Chris in a sloppy sea and strong tide and proceeded to first cut the galvanised chain and then the stainless shackle ( I am sure I owe you a new blade Chris) after replacing the d shackle we found it would not pass through the windlass so some muscle was required for the last 10 meters when retrieving the anchor. We returned the hacksaw and made a pigs ear in the strong tide and breeze of coming along side but no damage done. We tried two or three more marks to no avail and came in around 3-15. A really big thankyou to Chris for having a proper tool kit, mine is being sorted out and replenished. Thankyou Charlie for keeping your ears on. Slow day but still fun, and big thankyou to above club members.

I feel really sorry for all you guys getting so much fishing time in,hope you have a great w/e weather wise and Cod comp happens, tight lines.

Hope you all were out today, it was stunning, very happy birthdays!

Have a good one Stuie, I hope the sikaflex worked!

Hi Matt, No promises but I live in Wiltshire and hope to fish a lot more next year, send me a pm as to where you are and telephone number and I will see what we can sort.

Even more belated happy birthday!!!

Well done Stuie, email sent, it is pretty depressing that common sense does not prevail.

Well done Brian, look forward to seeing you at Cobbs, boat looking very smart. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well done Chris not really jealous

We have people like this that arrive in the countryside on bank holidays, especially sunny ones like this one, unfortunately it's us that lose out rather than the gentleman who lost his boat above!!! Do hope there were no casualties. Muppetry

Brian are you moving north? Welcome if you are!!!

Welcome Mel, I am fairly new 4 years I think, but a brilliant club and really friendly members who just want to help and see everyone achieve what they want. Have fun this week.

Very smart Nigel, though I do think you could of had your toe nails manicured as the engine looks great!!! Tight lines

Happy birthday for yesterday!!

Martin, A very well put togeather eloquent post, in many respects. Unfortunately you are correct, Robs figures are WAY out, I wish you were right Rob!!!!! I want a new engine on the boat, it's mad, I am SO lucky being in a position to do it but it's all a balance, with the actual figures Rob a few trips to the Shambles and hopefully the Skerries in the future and even Alderney the figures will get back in my favour, after I think around 18 months. It's all useful information from everyone, many thanks.
