Fugazi

Just remind me when is this competition?

I've been sea fishing since I was a nipper, but only caught my first trigger fish a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm all fired up to go after haddock, herring and squid this winter as these are also species I've never caught.

Just the one Bass for me @ 3lb 8oz not a prize winner but Chris the crew had a 5lb 8oz Cod take one of his feathers when he was fishing for mackerel, jammy git.

Gordon H

Who is fishing the comp who wouldnt have been able if it was on a Sunday? IE has the Sat comp made any differance?

None whatsoever, the FPO has gone to Spain to stay with her Mum and Dad for the Bank Holiday so I can go Sat, Sun and Monday! Anybody want crew for Sun and Monday?

Gordon and Chris on Fugazi are up for it if the weather is

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.

After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.

The monsignor replied,

While I agree with the points made that Baiter lacks facilities, its worth remembering that it is cheap at

Unfortunately I don't have a pass this weekend, I'm taking the FPO away for a short break.

With a bass take at the side of the boat - maybe the hull noise is nothing to worry about!

Maybe not, but Paul Dore has now got me so paranoid about this that the inability to catch mackerel on Sunday seemed to support his theory. Around I noted the anchored boats seemed to be landing them, but all we managed to catch was the aurally impaired specimen in the shoal!

Thanks to Terry for the very helpful advise on float fishing for Bass which resulted in my first ever float caught one.

Gordon H

I see what you mean Dan - can this be true?

If it is I will need crew for the day as my usual swarthy sea dog has jumped ship and is heading to north Devon this weekend! Anyone interested PM me and I'll get back to you later as I'm just going out for the evening.

Gordon H

Thanks Guys,

Alun I might be tempted out further on Sunday, depends on the weather!

Gordon

Chris Gould and I will be fishing the competition on Fugazi.

Thats some of the best Purbeck stone wall pointing I've ever seen!

Gordon H

Just as good but much cheaper, try galvanised garden wire at about

Thanks Tom,

Your 17 turn knot is definitely "alright" being simple and easy to tie, so much easier than the one I've been using. I could never remember or tie it without the instructions which I found on the back of a packet of braid, they were more complex than quantum physics.

Friday's out as I'm picking up my in-laws from the airport and Sunday were at a wedding, so the only chance I have is Saturday and that's not looking good. Hope the weathers kind and that all those taking part have a great weekend.

Gordon

My mate has a Warrior 165 and he's installed glass windows which have transformed the boat, no more looking around the side of the cabin to see where your going. Think it was quite expensive to get them specially made but if your interested I'll ask him who did it and how much.

Regards

I'm meeting PJ and Co 0700hrs @ Baiter so we should have Fugazi in and ready to go in time to meet up with you guys by 0730hrs.

Cleared the boat of all excess kit today and now have a mountain of boxes, rope, spare anchor, chain, fenders, covers, weights, etc in the garage. I,m hoping that reducing displacement by about 100kg will improve fuel economy tomorrow!

Gordon

Paul,

I don't see my buddy Chris Gould's name in the results, he should be a member as I gave his membership fees direct to Bob F at last months meeting. He still hasn't received his membership confirmation yet so looks like somethings gone wrong.

Gordon H

Just checked mine and found one dated 111/06 thats going back.
