No I will not! Reason being I do not wish to give the authorities any help in legislating against sea anglers. My view may not be the correct one but when has any participation by sea anglers in anything official had a good outcome for us Our catch rate compared to commercials is minuscule and that is fact so what benefits are there for us in collaborating with officialdom? I would suggest none, they are after gathering ammo to use against us. As I see it this exercise is worse than useless and yet another waste of tax payers money. Why won't they use our money to create wealth instead of wasting it on useless exercises. Surely the only people in favour of these "initiatives" are those that take a wage from them. What will they find to waste our money on next Martin BTW that's after one glass of red just wait until I have finished the bottle, both barrels waiting

And from me thanks to all that offered it is really appreciated Martin

Come on guys surely someone can step in and help out as this is now desperate! If I were around I'd be there like a shot but I am not about to cancel my holiday In orderly fashion please form a queue you and a mate it ain't that difficult even I can do it although on this occasion I can't Martin

Congratulation Tom & Abbie Martin & Veronica

A lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "I would like to buy some cyanide." The pharmacist asked,"Why?" The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband. The pharmacist said, "Lord have mercy! that's against the law! Absolutely not!" The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "You didn't tell me you had a prescription.

Is it that time of year already Martin

Piston Broke

He is certainly an egghead

So if the winner of the comp used this bait to lure his fish would that mean he was spawny

I am certainly up for a trip one day over the weekend. On the weather front both days are looking good with Sunday having the wind edge with Saturday having the sun edge. Lets hope the forecasts hold good. For me it will depend on family and the air show commitments will update later Martin

Well done on getting out lads and Well done to Lofty on clinching it. As ever thanks for a brilliant write up and photos Ben Me I didn't get out had to work in sons bathroom I sometimes hate being in the building trade Martin

Greg Glad to hear that Mrs Sea is at last being sorted and I truly hope that you will be glitch and crud free from now on. Re the open: you will not be short of marks to fish and I am sure we can find you some crew to keep you company ATB Martin

Not really my decision to make but I would say no. The dates have been set already so keep it simple and leave it as it is. Martin

Just to confirm and clarify it is both the Bass and Kayak comp this Sunday. Kayaks can enter both comps if they wish so long as they conform to the 2 kayak rule and of course the competition rules. This has happened due to circumstances with the earlier Kayak comp clashing with other events. Hopefully this won't happen in future years. Good luck and stay safe to all those fishing Martin

These are only eligible if you're fortunate enough to lasso one large enough to ride

Thanks for taking the time to find out Rob. I feel that as a club the correct decision was taken even though we weren't fully clued up on current regulations Well done all Martin

Well done on the retrieve Nigel and further to earlier posts I knew Ow Much was a decent fella, fair play to Humphrey for wathcing over you! Martin

My engine service costs are about
