Was going to put a big long post about data protection but decided against that. Mark's post is not pointless only drawing topical attention to the fact that any organisation no matter how large or small can be hacked as can your or my email contacts. Talking of email contacts I am currently receiving emails from 2 persons which have malicious intent and both the alleged senders have no idea how it's happening. We must all make our own judgement and be careful where we place our information. BTW I think the shark trust do a good job so if I remember I will report my catches but will be lean with information provided

Even us recovering workaholics need time dodging work

Sorry to hear that, hope she sells soon

The Madness crew are considering a trip out on Sunday. Just Dean and I with space for 1 other. Will make final decision tomorrow night. If you're interested in joining us shout in the normal manner

I would agree with Stuie re the anchor warp and chain length. You will not be able to anchor in anything much deeper than 50' with what you have. I suggest min 30' chain attached to 150 metres min for fishing in our area. 12mm warp will be fine as will 8mm chain. Regards anch a 10 kilo Bruce type or a 6 kilo Delta type anchor would be my choice.

Soppy git Was a great evening Mal, thanks mate

One big smile there, well done Jacob.....oh and you Kev

Happy birthday mate, see you in a bit for a beer and chat

Happy Birthday Graham, I hope you are well

Will definitely be there and will have some bits to sell with all monies going to HOW

Well done all on a good turnout and well done Charlie for winning

We left Cobbs for the 8:30 bridge and spotted a few other likely candidates sneaking out to find some Rays. The wind was stronger than expected pushing a four and as the morning went by so the wind against tide built the sea up to a sloppy mess. As the tide eased the sea state improved then when the tide changed the wind dropped right off leaving us with a reasonable beautiful sunny afternoon Our day was a day of 2 halves. We headed out to a bank that has thrown up various ray along with other species in the past. The hook was set and first drop I was into a bream of 3lb 3oz. That was followed by a small blonde ray to Dean of around 7.5lb we had four or five more blondes until the tide eased. Largest went to me at 14.8oz with deans largest being 11lb 8oz. As well as the blondes we had 2 decent Bream pollock and pout. Funny thing is that pm after the tide had ease we never had a bite. It was great to be out and although not manic on the fishing front I thoroughly enjoyed the day and am now fired up and can't wait to our next trip out.

Greg passed on the hats for Daniel Macey Liberty and Phoebe today. I will pass them on and I'm sure they will be pleased as punch. Thanks for your efforts mate the club really appreciate you taking on the junior comp organising

Rob not sure you could throw one that high but we could certainly drop one on you

Our day was similar to Charlie's. We set out on the 8:30 bridge and headed out the harbour with no set plans. Decided it was to sloppy to go offshore so headed down towards Southbourne. Passed Charlie off of Boscombe pier and kept going down to double dykes. First drop a plaice we ended up with about 10 but all small. Charlie joined us after a couple of hours but all went quite for an hour or so then like a tap the Gurnard switched on but no more plaice. We went over to the end of the swash for the last hour and had doggies and a smooth hound. Came in for the 4:30 bridge. As the weather had settled down a little we used the fly bridge coming in what a difference in outlook I lke it a lot.

Forecast slightly worse now so will probably only do inshore stuff. Anyone else out?

Same as him above although not completely set up yet

Dean and I are going out on sunday and have room for one other crew member. Not sure what we will target yet but at least we will be out fishing and the forecast seems ok at N/E 3-4 If interested get in touch in the normal manner, post here pm or phone
