Maverick Martin

Sorry Alun Paul is the one with the correct answer. The Poole And District Sea Angling Association (a bigger mouthfull than pbsbac) is an association of several sea angling clubs which was formed to give a more powerful voice to local recreational sea angling clubs in our area. We (our club) are a member of that association and allowed 2 representatives to attend meetings. Paul J is our liason officer and has the job of attending the meetings on our behalf and feeding back any relevant info at our monthly meetings. I also attend cause I'm nosey and like a beer Martin

Maverick with the other even bigger big Bob, Dean and me will be there and def not square Martin

As James said a pretty average day today 3 boxes of squid a large cuttle, two raps of black lug and what did we get...Loadsa dogs, pout a few whiting and one spotted ray 3 or 4lbs and that was it Roll on Sunday for the flounder comp Martin Oh james I have moved the topic for you

Take a look at this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4072503.stm It sounds as if once again a sensible study has given good advice only to be ignored by the powers that be

Phil and I will see you out on the mark. Being slightly older we are not so keen to get out that early in the morning Still looking forward to it though. Weather forecasts look good so lets hope it holds Martin

Mark Where are you launching from and what time? I am going with Phil if weathers ok Martin

Newboy the competition has a weigh in at Baiter! If your in it you'll have to come to poole Martin

Hi all Dont forget our last club comp of the year, the flounder comp on Sunday 12th December for club members only. Fish from 8am - 3pm weigh in/presentation at baiter slip 4pm Usual club rules apply Martin

Adam/Bob What can I say other than well done to both of you A cracking days fishing by any standards. Don't you just love it when a plan comes together . I've yet to catch a 30lb plus cod, and havent had a plan come together for a wee while now, I must look at changing that After Bobs phone call I was seriously tempted to launch Maverick wish I had now Good luck with fish of the month and bfm adam Martin

Dan How are the repairs coming on? will you be on the water soon Martin

See its easy in it Wish I could get it right though Oh and nicely explained Duncan I must give it a try sometime Martin

I would love to Alan but its the pbsbac xmas bash saturday eve so I will be all day making myself beautiful amongst other bits that ere indoors wants doing Martin

Yep and we have invited Terry Wogan to make a show of it if you would like to joins us you need to learn the tune Martin This is the madest forum around

Rich You were more than welcome m8, hopefully next time your aboard maverick you will be able to fish Martin

Well done James I hope thats the end of your holidays...give us all a chance to get some fish Martin

Billy this is a club comp for members only. There will be a small hamper up for grabs. Only problem for you is this is the only club comp (I think? Charlie will verify details) where we have a weigh in and thats at baiter slip. You may need to find a boat to crew for Martin

Kam The flounder/xmas bash is an in house club comp open to members only. You do not need to sign in The rules for this comp are the same as our other comps except that we have a weigh in at baiter. A very informal affair with a small hamper as an incentive. Hope you can make it Martin

Hi Steve Thanks for your report, its good for us to keep in touch with whats happening in the extremities of our area. I'm sure when everyone recovers from the early start in sunday's club comp that there will be a flood of reports on how we all did Martin

Up at 5:15am sorted the last bits for the boat and loaded the grub and tea making equipment into the van then trundled on down to Baiter for 6:25 Some early birds already there waiting to launch (are all boat anglers mad) Bob H and I Set up the stall. Veronica and Helen got the bacon rolls and tea on the go (early reports suggest that this was the most welcome bit of the day). I then frantically phoned around making sure no one had forgotten their promise of help then before you could wink a shed load of willing helpers appeared (thank goodness for that). In fact we had so many helpers I could take it a little easy this year, which was nice. It gave me a chance to get a little feedback from competitors. Same in the afternoon really in fact I did very little at the weigh in, just watched the smiling faces of fairly happy anglers returning with their hard won catch and chatted again to anglers who had nothing but good comments for the way the comp is run, very satisfying! We then went to the Mariner Club for the presentation. The busy bees were once again doing their jobs. Counting monies and sorting out who won what, nice to watch. I then presented the prizes to those smiling faces that were very appreciative of the excellent prize table. Prizes were largely donated bye local businesses who were willing to put a little back. A big thank you to them, and may I suggest that when your making future puchases you support them, they really do deserve our support. The best bit for me though was presenting the junior prizes, they are angling

Hi Charlie Firstly welcome to Poole Bay Small Boat A/C enjoy the forum. From your post I assume you mean NFSA. You may have seen from our posts that an EGM has been called by 6 of the Poole affilliated clubs. We are going to try and change things for the better. Our proposals would put the power back with the members and affilliated clubs, this would be a step in the right direction, making all officers of OUR federation acountable to the membership. Will it work or make a difference? we can only try. I dont think Mr. Diffey belongs to our club, he certainly isn't our hon sec. I believe he belongs to Poole Dolphins another of our local club's but I may be wrong on that one. I hope you have a good day afloat on True Blue, please give my regards to Malcomn Collins the skipper. As I said earlier enjoy the forum, all are welcome (well almost all) we are a freindly buch that enjoy our fishing and like a laugh Cheers Martin Chairman PBSBAC

Well done Terry Perhaps next time you are down we can accompany you to some favoured marks Martin

Yes . . . . . . replies like that save time Martin
