Leicester Fisheagle

Headed west down to Dancing ledge area looking for shelter which we never found so headed back very slowly taking a lot of spray. Although wave hight predictions are lower for tomorrow we will not be heading that far.Best fish to Bill (Ferret) a place of 2. 1/2lb which christened his new rod. Allan.

Hope to be out Friday but where to go to??? Allan.

After 5 days of work in good weather all antifouling, varnishing, waxing and work on the skeg and some wiring work she is looking pristine. The plan was to try for the Friday before the comp and Purbeck Marine at Cobbs have brought things forward and just finished the service and fitting an extra anode. Thanks especially to Mike and Dan Chapman. The lift back in has been brought forward by a week to Friday PM when the new Prop will be fitted followed by a quick blast round the harbour to check things out. Yes, the weather God's have been smiling but it looks like they could be getting their revenge on Sunday. Allan.

Unlikely to be able to make this one as my boat is coming out for antifouling etc. on Monday 10th Oct for at least 2 weeks unless the weather gods are very good. I chose this date because I thought it would allow me to fish the Open this weekend and then get the work done. I really do hope it goes ahead on the new date as the organisers must be really cheesed off. Good luck to those who manage to fish. Allan.

Surplus to requirements. Antifoul International Ultra. 2.5litres green. Expiry date March 2018 and 750 ml of Primocon grey. Both unopened and as bought. Accept

Good luck with the sale Rory. I enjoyed being on her. Deceptively spacious for her size. She will make a good boat for someone and seems very keenly priced given the almost new braked trailer. Allan.

Felicitions pour cette belle prise. Cela fait deux jours que j'essaye de convaincre mes amis Francais qui sont en vacances chez moi que l'on peut remettre a l'eau un aussi beau poisson! Allan.

No e-mail but glad to know about it. Was starting to look at Wednesday for a possible weather slot but due to closure could be cancelled.

A fantastic fish truly one for the record book. So, what fish are we having at the next Club Barbeque? Allan G.

Happy Birthday Bill. Hope you get better weather the next time you are down. Allan.

Well done Jo and Rob. Congratulations to you both. Ann and Allan.

Great catch Lofty. Very well done!

Some wonderful reports and pictures from those in Weymouth. Made two trips out of Poole Harbour over late Friday and Saturday AM and PM trying 5 different marks both of these were curtailled by the weather. Only one notable fish, a Red Gurnard of 1lb 10 1/2 oz (which was well photographed and weighed ashore on digital scales). Very little else wanted to play except for a small bass and a number of mackeral which seemed to be Bill's speciality. Several blow off marks were tried within the Harbour, but again, strong winds caused problems. Flounders weighing 1lb. 10oz. 1lb 8oz. and 1lb 7.5oz a few schoolies and several small wrasse completed the picture.

Just filled up with diesel and have enough in cans for at least two full trips this weekend. Decided to check the weather. Think someone could be starting to upset the Weather Gods and tempting fate????

Happy Birthday Sam. There is a pint for you at the Rose and Crown next time you are out there. Allan.

Belated happy birthday wishes to both Charlie and Dave. Makes me feel quite old, only another 8 years for Charlie's bus pass. Hope you both had a good day. Allan.

Had planned to have a full day out, but short of crew. So, a late start around lunch time from Cobbs will be the order of the day with my brother in law coming out when he finishes work. Will decide where we are going when we see what its like outside the Harbour. If its not too bad we aim to return between 5 and 7pm. Have space for one more if anyone interested. Tel 07758356474 Allan.

Paying 92p per litre at the moment at Upton Fuels but in cans which need to be transfered. Allan.

pollack 30cms -seen a lot smaller than this being used as bass bait.

Ann has just downloaded the latest free version of Paint that came out this week and is playing about with it. She seems to think that Photoshop was easier to work with but it is early days yet and as I keep reminding her it is free and our wedding aniversary was last week and the cost of diesel is going up.
