Maverick Martin

Terry Most club members will be fishing on Sunday in our open boat competition or at least they had better after all the effort that goes into organising it so you may struggle to get anyone to fish from xchurch Why not come and launch from Poole and enter the competition Martin

Kam If its the shingles you are talking about be very wary. If you look at your chart you will see that the shingles dries out in parts Martin

Hi plaicemat aka terry welcome to pbsbac.co.uk Glad you worked out how to register especially after I gave garbled instructions I'm not the best at giving instruction. Anyhow your here now take part and enjoy Martin

Your confident then Paul Martin

I took a straw poll from the committee and of those that responded this was the favoured option: For our open comp only Tope, Blue, porgie and thresher sharks will be banned. All others one only of each species to be weighed in Martin

Correct Billy, the idea was to try and spread the prizes around but usualy the flat fish winner takes both (flounder) with the round fish being split, if that makes sense Martin

Hi Dave I hope your move goes nice and smoothly See you soon Martin

Rich I feel all faint Cheers the feeling is mutual I can assure you. And your right its a cool place to learn Martin

Duncan If it is the mark that most of the older club members know as banks then the shallowest part I have found is 56' at low water. I usually motor uptide of the peak say 100 metres and drop my anchor then allow enough warp out so that the top of the bank is lying just behind the boat. You can easily do this by watching your sounder and noting the depth. The idea then is to trot you end tackle back behind (downtide of) the bank as described by Mike. This should work for some species i.e rays flatfish etc (if they are present) but others such as bass, Pollack may be in other areas of the bank. When the tide turns re-anchor and do it the other way. Some banks fish better on the ebb or flood To be fair this particular set of banks used to fish really well but recent years they seem to be devoid of life other than doggies and the odd ray and occasional bass. I would be pleased if anyone can tell me otherwise as it is an easy mark to anchor and fish. By the way it

Billy I already sent Trad a member pack (8/11/04) and had a reply to say he had received it (12/11/04)? Will send another in case he has inadvertently deleted it. I don't want squid 4' long .....would have to make up me pennel rigs outa 7.5 kilo fishermens anchors Martin

Hi Rich No problem matey drop the kit off anytime you like. Just phone first to make sure I'm in and I can also put the kettle on Martin

Rich Go to members area and click on report your catch, fill it in and just send. It will go straight to Charlie Martin

Ventured out with Dean on Maverick. The weather was okish, clear skies, sunshine but with a cold stiffish force 4/5 northerly blowing. Sea state Moderate which made it interesting standing up at times. Anyhow with the sea following us it was a comfortable ride out. Because of the large tides we decided to stay fairly close in. We decided to go to the old spoil grounds approximately 2.5 miles off of Old Harry. A boat was already there so we looked around for a fishy looking spot and dropped the hook. small Whiting and dogs the only result for our efforts. The tide picked up then our anchor gave up its hold so we considered that an opportune time to make a move. We steamed North east just watching the sounder to try and find a new bit of ground, up came a bank on the sounder so after a quick look around it we decided to give this lump a go. Well it fished really slow only giving up two Bass around 3lb each (on 6/0 pennel rigs loaded with half a dozen squid) plus a couple of dogs. A shame really as it did look very fishy, we will be giving this spot another go when weather dictates we can't get out to far. At around 4pm we decided enough was enough and made a move in which was a little bumpy punching into those white tops, but the sea soon flattened as we got under the lea. All in all a slow day but still better than trying to earn brownie points Martin

Nice one Bob as James says its so much easier to see how they are done with moving pics excellent Martin

Bad news, you cant do that coddy, parking is free at B&Q Best go on your own
