Alan Nice report and glad you enjoyed your days fishing and congratulations on catching a few fish. It does feel good when its mission accomplished Our day out on "Awol" was not a lot better in fact I blanked Dean on the other hand had a beautiful 4lb1oz Bream followed up later with a 20lb plus Blonde Ray (see the clubs front page) which we couldn't weigh as the battery went dead in the electronic scales Dave had a few bream up to about 2lb and a small codling. I did connect with a largish fish but after getting near the boat was lost Your 640 is a very nice looking boat and I am sure you will have many fruitless hours afloat just like me : : but then it's not just about the fish it's the whole experience as running your own boat is a hobby in itself Good luck on your next adventure Martin

I would be very grateful if you could pass on the following information to your club members: The Wales Small Boat Fishing Festival will take place from 28th-30th June at Amlwch Port, Anglesey (boats can launch and recover at Bull Bay if they wish). There is a guaranteed prize fund of

The newsletter goes via email to those that have it (to save postage) then by post to those that don't have email. If someone misses out on the paper version then sorry it must be my fault as I produce these and fold them and stamp them and post them so nobody else to blame Don't know where I find the time really Martin BTW thanks for the feedback it really is usefull

Hi Billy Can't seem to find any record of receiving your subs or form. Could you cancel your original payment and resend Cheers Martin

Hi Neal All club comps are fished on trust. If you say you caught it then you did. There isn't any money involved just points and gongs so if anyone cheats they are only fooling themselves. You should record any reasonable fish even when freelancing as you may qualify for the fish of the month, When you have caught your fish you do need to record them with the fish recorder. You can do this either via the catch report page in the forum or by phone or at the following club meeting. These are the only sure fire way of your fish being recorded. Whatever happens fish must be recorded by the following meeting or they are not allowed Martin

Yes Kam you are correct

BTW Originally we (Poole and Dsitrict Sea Angling Association) wanted imposed a no go areas at teh top end of the harbour for flounder but the compromise was the local bye law relating to landing sizes Martin

I think you will find that the eec did away with minimum landing sizes for flounder so their is actually no official minimum landing size for flounder in europe. However the Poole and District Sea Angling Association (Which we are affilliated to) pushed forward and got the Southern Sea Fisheries to introduce a local bye law which effectively make the minimum landing size from the Southern Sea Fisheries area 27cm although ssf will claim it was their initiative Martin

Dan Look below your forum name and you will see "group" you are indeed in the club member group. BTW your cheque was received but will not be banked for a week or two or when Bob H and I have had chance to meet Martin

Thanks Andy will update your status accordingly Martin
