If the flounders are listening on channel 6, they are not responding!

The lack of flounders appears to be the same in Christchurch as well.

The distinct lack of flounders at this time of year may not encourage a lot of members to fish the comp. Would it be prudent to postpone the comp. until early January, in the hope that the "flatties" make a showing? Global warming perhaps! Rich

Having already altered some visits to around to enable me to fish the comp. I feel Anita's patience may wear a little thin if I suggest changing some arrangements around again. Also some people booked in for the flounder comp are already booked in to fish the cod comp on the Sunday. My vote would be to keep it to the Monday. Rich

1) Court Jester Neal + crew TBA 2) yelo Jacob, Kev, plus more 3) Libby.. Martin c + crew TBA 4) Warren Rich + Alun (we have both re-arranged our days to try and stop Kev winning again)

Next Wednesday is good for me. Rich

Many thanks Tony for a most enjoyable day out on Serenity. The first mark eventually had an assortment of club boats on it. One with an outboard "Fisheagle," another with a mast and lots of canvas "Frisky Fox," and of course us in a proper boat. The fishing was very slow with a couple of whiting and plenty of dogfish being the only things landed. The target species were nowhere to be seen. Fortunately the banter and copious amounts of coffee helped keep spirits up. Despite a slight diversion on the way to the second mark we soon had the anchor down and Tony pulled in a small ray so it looked as if things were going to look up. The only things looking up after that were dozens of dogfish looking up at the side of Serenity. With the light fading we headed back. No prizes for anyone on this trip. Rich

This was sent to me by a person involved with the security at a local yacht Club. This can only be good news. " I attended a meeting of Poole Harbour Watch this morning at which the new Police Commissioner was present and there is good news for boat owners. He has kept his promise and the Marine Police Section will remain in existence in Poole. There will be one Sergeant and two full time Constables supported by, initially, 7 Special Constables ( already trained) with more to come when trained. Indeed we may well see more patrols in the Harbour as the PHC have agreed that the harbour patrol vessel may carry Police Officers for much of the time it is on patrol." Rich
