Happy Birtday Dave. Have a good time and enjoy. Allan.

Happy Birthday Kev. Still looking younger than many on F Pontoon. Allan.

Given the rapid decrease in the size and number of Flounders in Holes Bay and other areas of the Harbour (understand Neal will be contacting SIFCA following the Club's recent Flounder Comp. over the legality of netting), I talked to a few other anglers including beach, kayak and Winter Flounder League. I understand that there is a facebook campaign to Save Poole Bay Flounders. If anyone could give me a link, I would be greatfull. The issue could also be raised by Charlie A and other local Clubs at the Poole and District Meeting in the New Year. I am sure Dave Samuels, the Secretary, would put it on the agenda for discussion with the SIFCA Officers who attend most meetings, as I feel sure, it is quite a widespread concern across local anglers in general and the more imput we have, the better. Allan.

Jann Tryska has asked me to put up a post asking if anyone has a space for him for this Sunday's Bob Horne Memorial Flounder Comp. Please contact him via Frank Morris on 07983556047.

It certainly wasn't the best of days. The weather was horrible, the wind did us no favours, the water was dirty and weedy.The fishing was dire. However, the company was great, the catering was enjoyed by all and the tides for next week's Comp.are much better. Two comments from Rich S and Dave L stick in my mind. We don't all go fishing to catch fish and it was better than working. Well done Jerry on sticking it out, we at least only had a 15 minute drive home.

Crew space no longer available. Allan.

Have a good one and enjoy yourself. Allan.

Fisheagle will heading out with Dave and myself for some winter species from Cobbs at just after 7 am. this Sunday.The Island or somewhere near will be our target area if the weather plays ball. Space for one member if anyone interested. Allan.

No probs.Dave. Just so I definately get it right and up to fine dining standard, perhaps you would be kind enough to do a trial run when we do our flounder practice session the day before?

Cosidering we didn't escape from under the New Bridge until 10. 45 am. due to the Operator's Cameras not showing him the Bridge and traffic clearly due to the dense fog, we had a really good , if very short day. Fishing time was probably less than 3 hours as we arrived late due to the Bridge and we arrived over slack. There were plenty of bites from the off from whiting and pout and a few doggies, but nothing special. The on board catering was first rate and far exceeded that of Fisheagle. The starter was M and S Finest Vegetable Soup with wholemeal bread, this was followed by a savoury sausage plait. By the time I had finished the next item, mamely a triple layered, cured wiltshire bacon cob, I couldn't manage my own sandwhiches which were eaten for lunch today.Graham was a perfect host and the banter and hot drinks flowed freely. Given the boat's radar, ais which both transmits and receives and well marked tracks on his modern plotter, the fog on our return leg was an inconvenience rather than a real problem. A quick radio call to the Ferry to ascertain its location saw us entering the harbour. Certainly, Graham's detailed knowledge of the harbour, even in dense fog was very reassuring. Chris, who crews with him, took care of all the little jobs in a well drilled manner. Aerials, fenders, ropes, was down etc. were all taken care of. The only real thing I had to do was to get a trolley on our return. Many thanks Graham for a very enjoyable trip.

Thanks Graham for your kind offer of a lift out tomorrow. Hope we can do as well as several Club Members did today. Allan.

Fisheagle's crew are having to work so I will have to give it a miss this time. Good luck to anyone out there. Some very good fish caught today. Allan.

Dave, does that mean you have a cunning plan and are available to fish on the 27th.of Dec.?

Fisheagle would hope to get out, subject to weather and crew availability.

Fisheagle hopes to be out on Thursday. We are no experts, but may be able to give some assistance. Give us a call Graham. Allan.

Fisheagle will also have to withdraw.I have just spoken to Dave who has hurt his back lifting something heavy and Mick doesn't mind being shaken but not sturred at the same time. So, regrettably, I too, have lost my crew. Tight lines to all fishing. Allan.

Think of the fuel I save.☺ Allan.

Fisheagle will be heading out tomorrow (Saturday 29th.) for her first trip for nearly a month. Mick (Sparky) and I will be heading somewhere between Southbourne and the Island in the hope of a few winter species. Leaving Cobbs around 7 am. and returning on the 4.30 bridge.
