Colin-58

As Alun says the weather is giving us the chance to get out and enjoy a calmish sea for a day or two hopefully , i will be pleased to see a new picture of a cod caught by any club member, so wish you all good luck. Hope you manage to get out Charlie, i know work thing can be a bit of a bind! Good luck folks Colin

yes i hope to be out stuie if plan A continues😊

Nice clean one Jim , cheering everyone up in the wind and rain down your way, 10 out of 10😁

Hi Alun, yes iam hoping to get out again for a two day jaunt, subject to farm work, may see you out or channel 6 v h f may be, good luck. Colin. P S Terry, did Katfish leave a big red X ? 😊

Sounds like your dreams are coming true again Bobi and Colin, Good luck with your new Boblin, look forward to seeing you both out on the water enjoying yourselves. Best of luck Colin.

It may be your turn Allan! i was hoping to join in its a good cause, just worried Frank caught the last two flounders in the harbour last outing though! . struggling to drum up any enthusiasm with crew, do you think if i offer them a hot three course lunch that may be enough to entice them,? i think it seems a good idea as it would give me something to do, cant think i will be "busy" floundering. And on a serious note, do you think it will go ahead? weather is not set that fair at the moment is it? All the best an optimistic Colin.

Sorry can not make it, have a good meeting clubmates best wishes Colin

Thoughtful words of wisdom Terry, i will say ditto to that, we never know whats looming round the corner or over the next wave, here go i by the the grace of god, healthy and hearty new year to you all clubmates best wishes Colin.

yes very well done Dave Jan Frank and Kev iam sure the rest of us enjoyed the day as well, thanks to all the organizers , hope more will support it next year, the banter and food afterwards made it worth attending the event! I realize flounder fishing has got to be somewhat of a challenge, indeed i believe new tactics were employed by some club boats yesterday, mainly quietly parking on the mud at the top end out the way and considering digging for the little rascals, i guess if this method was proven to be successful we would just have to consider the max size of spade rather than number of rods!

Glad to hear your better Jim, Snorting and coughing about for seven weeks is no rascal fun! best wishes, look after yourself cause no one else will. Colin

i will p m you Dave 😊 Colin

Sorry Jim just realised it was terry that went to carol concert, hope you didnt catch it if you read it though, !😃

you didnt miss lead me Jim i like your seasonal banter, hope your cold man flu cough or whatever the concert goers gave you is getting better, but if you do have a wish list, iam sure you have been a good boy so you could try putting a note on the side by the chimney brest , you never know your luck! The man himself may have some spare at the end of his rounds🎅 Colin

Interesting post Jim, Excellent photos of Frank and Andy, is that taken with a phone or a camera? "they say" every picture tells a story, and this one is no exception, so i feel obliged to fill in the story. Frank was not just passing Andys shop, he had gone to interrogate Andy as to what lures he sold me last trip down that i caught a nine lbs one ounce bass on . With Andy sworn to secrecy picture one shows Franks response, Picture two shows Frank holding tight onto two lures in his right hand pocket, after soaping Andy up with a fifty pound note, The lures worked i caught five bass and had never fished with lures before, beginners luck or what? they cost about £13.50 if Andy sees this but they were £5,50 each when i was last down! Sorry Frank coudnt resist it ! Colin,

Hi M R W, Sorry , dont know your name, just wondering is it a 240VOLT OR A 12/240 VOLT ? Thanks Colin.

Like Tony said, good call Jerry, i will aim to support both comps on 29th, but be warned folks the long range forecast at the minute will need to change, and may well do so, fingers crossed, Colin

Good idea lofty, £5 a ticket i will have one, £1 a ticket i will have 5. Since its not the christmas raffle may be we should just give it Jim straight away ! And yes Alun, sure we are all disappointed with the forecast, but i can tell you as a farmer you can only work with the weather , not against it, safety at sea is paramount, lets hope the replacement day turns up trump"s Colin.

Just looked at flounder forecast, done my health and safety planning, and decided like Frank us baiter boater boys would rather support the charity Heros on the water rather than try and be one! With jest , if the hamper is a problem why not have a kite flying comp, the kite needs to be in the shape of a flounder ,and the winner is the person who keeps it in the air the longest, or the highest ! So as they say on dragons den iam out Colin.

Well done Lofty, Nice photo, nice fish, Nice day by the look of it, probably the biggest club Flounder caught this autumn so far? unless you clubmates say differently? 😊

Looks good fun, is this the first time it has been held? Colin

hoping to fish the comp tomorrow, boat;; undecided, Skipper Colin Whitehead Crew Pump action Pete! Good luck to all, hope to see some of you at weigh in.

Very handsome photo Charlie, You didnt look to bad either! Colin.
