I wonder how many 12m+ raggies towing a set of feathers or a mackerel spinner have been pulled over? my guess....... none but the same rules are supposed to apply. I think the byelaw concerned is not being enforced in the spirit it was intended but hey were just anglers what do we know Martin

The offer was made to Neil of SSFC at our last meeting to help with distribution of leaflets and/or maybe contribute to either publication or distribution of posters/signs. That offer is still open and will no doubt be made again. We (the club) within reason can offer monetary help. Time in designing literature or notices is a different matter. Most of the committee are busy people and give their time willingly to the club but there are limits. Now if we were to get offers of help from the members then maybe more could be done. Any graphic designers out there? Martin

Mike That would be covered in our constitution under bringing the club into disrepute. If a member were proven to be involved in anything against fisheries legislation be that breaches of areas, size limits, selling fish or indeed anything the club deemed to be inappropriate then a committee would be formed to investigate the offence. The formed committee maybe just made up of existing committee members or if deemed necessary of ordinary members that are not connected with either the misdemeanor or the offender. If proven that member could be penalised and that could involve expulsion. Hope that clarifies your question. Martin

Duncan I believe there is a court case re one of the larger cats. I don't know if it's been judged yet or if it's still ongoing. That said I don't think many of the boats are over 12m? but do stand to be corrected. Martin

Understood. My point is, as Charlie suggested it should be displayed at Marinas and sliplays, I felt it was lacking vital information. Agree 100% Brian

Clive there will be a bus load of etec owners along shortly

Brian it is not a leaflet. It is the information that was put into this years Poole Harbour guide and is only copied on here for info Martin

See the Poole Harbour regulation post for further information on when and where plus minimum sizes for other species Martin

OK I am getting serious cabin fever now and I have run out of pills, god that stuff tastes so good The (my) boat will be all sorted over the next couple of weeks then I have to decide when and where to fish. I am thinking of having a shake down trip up to the shambles for an early plaice. When would be the earliest you would make the effort and spend the diesel on a shambles trip? anyone? Oii and Jim no comment on all my trips being a shambles Martin

Happy Birthday Duncan, hope you have a brilliant day Martin

All done and you have a pm with your new password Oh and as said privately welcome back Martin

Yes it is Paul, he's back and is thinking of rejoining the club Martin

Dave you can collect whenever you like just phone before you come over Martin

And you understood her, now I am impressed Only joking well done sounds like an excellent idea to me Martin

Derek Personally I don't think so but members can discuss and raise any issues they like at meetings or in the members only section of the website. Martin

We already have an advert on our site from a large commercial company selling fish. Bait being just a small part of their business. Martin

Thats one unlucky marlin Martin

Les Good luck in your hunt for a new employee, sounds like a perfect job for a fish nut Martin
