Sorry Alan i am away otherwiswe i would be there

Well done on second place Steve, how many species won it?

Bad luck guys, Sunday looks good ATM for the Shambles, bit of a small tide but heh ho. Is your reserve date in June Charlie?

I have filled in the form asking to find out more with distance from the coast being a possible concern

Hi Dale, Good to meet you at the meeting, chatted keepering briefly. I have had Navionics on my phone and Ipad for a few years and it is a real game changer. I have just last week managed to download Navionics onto my Simrad plotter on the boat, but it has taken me a long time, however i am a techy dinasoar!!!! All the above posts are great advice, hopefully see you out on the water when the weather decides to sort itself out. Jerry

Happy birthday guys, have a great day.

It needs a service, it took 24mins from Old Town closing to opening Twin Sails yesterday!!

As you say Mal, heavy reading but interesting. It will be interesting to see how long, and if any, suggested ideas from commercial and recreational sector are enforced or put into place.

100% agree, well done Tony, I hope you’ve got some wine left! I hope we still see you at the meetings 👍👍👍👍

Hope you have a great day Tony🎂🎂🍷🍷👍👍

Not Poole but a wonderful trip to Costa Rica

Charlie, I am way atm, fishing with some rain forest😜I have different binos you would be welcome to borrow if any suit your needs👍 Jerry

Have a good day, I hope the legs on the mend🎂🎂🎂🎂🍺🍺🍺

Hi Guys, A post will be coming in due course regards the Competitions, I felt it was important just to put dates out there so people could plan there diaries. Jerry

Hi Neil, Sorry about the confusion. The July Competition for Juniors is as per adults throughout 2023. You can fish as and when you want, and the skipper will send catch reports to the forum. I hope this explains things better. Jerry

July Species and Specimen Comp This Competition is open to any junior 16 or under fishing on a Club members boat. If not as a family member, the entry fee for both Competitions is £2.00 to include an entry pack. The junior must be accompanied by an appropriate adult. Fish at anytime in July and the skipper posting catches, weights, and photographs. August 20th Specimen Competition This Competition will run for 6hrs that day. There will be a bbq and prize giving afterwards for both Competitions. More information will be posted before both.

Hi Charlie, Ive spoken to some of the committee and we all think we want to keep this year simple and straight forward, especially with all the changes that have been made regards Competitions. Please remind me in December this year and I will make sure I bring it up for a possibility in 2024 Comps depending on how 2023 goes👍👍 Jerry

We are having a slight change in direction this year with Competitions as I am sure you know. Species Comp 10-11th June Specimen Comp 22-23 July Flounder Comp 17th December Details of the Junior Comp to be posted in the next few days Jerry

Oh Niggle if only❤️❤️😜😜

Sorry guys I would like to be there but tied up. I look forward to hearing thoughts and hopefully positive ways forward.

Have fun🎂🍷🍺👍👍

Hi Guys, Thankyou everyone for your thoughts and comments, all of which have been taken on board and discussed with the committee and club members, and really good to hear. Here are our thoughts: We want to encourage as many youngsters as possible, so it was discussed that non family members (anybody) could join in. Obviously with the correct parental/adult supervision. We would have an open fishing calendar in July, when junior members and new “ junior” members could fish as often as they can, and put forward their catches towards the junior July Competition. In August we would hold a one day Competition with perhaps a bbq and prize giving for the July and August Junior Competition. Those Juniors who are not already family members would be asked to pay a Poole Bay Junior Competition Membership of perhaps £2.00. They would receive a card for there Competition membership, perhaps a species identification card, some details of the club, and other fishing information. With this in mind, it would be nice to know which members might be able to offer their boats if we had a good take up for this Competition. Non of this is set in stone so we look forward to any other thoughts. Jerry

When we chatted about the juniors Charlie we were thinking about being far more relaxed with the them, so they didn’t have to be “family” members. I have two godchildren who have children who I think I might join in, so it was suggested non direct family members just pay a small entry fee to cover a PBSBAC “pack” .This might just entice them to enter again or later in life. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
