I'm sure it was nothing to do with the boozy night that had on saturday!!!

We should be called Poole Bay Dogfishing Club!!! I must say I was pleased with the scales we invested in! To have 3 LSD's 0.1oz between them all was close!!!!!! Rob

The Bull Huss is held by Steve Lane who was skipper on the day for FairLady. Darin Toomer the captor is to the left of Steve in the photo, facing the camera, well done that man! Rob

Unseen indeed, didn't even see them myself! Only joking! Thanks to all those that helped! And indeed took part! I almost makes the effort worth while! Rob

Thanks to all our sponsors, we had great support again and 67 anglers entered the comp. Including the cash prizes we had a prize table of approx just over

Nice to see so many live fish that were returned to fight again - except the conger that wouldn't stay in the bucket (Thanks for the help Sam C!). Rob

Correct Brian, results! I should still be sleeping! Got the boat out and home for 22:00, will post results etc sometime! Work today for me with PBSBAC Comittee meeting this evening, maybe I should take a day off afer the Open! R

Great day all round, well done! Rob

Well done James, thats how to do it!!!! I believe Nige had a 20 today too! Rob

If you are looking to crew tomorrow, put a post on asking if there is a space on anyone's boat!! We have just been down to Cobbs to launch ready for the early start, excited now!!! Rob

Is it me or is the forecast looking rather inviting? Cant wait! Rob

Remember it was won from the harbour last year!!!

Mike, Jimis looking for crew! Rob

Make sure you post in the "need crew" part of the forum! I thought you were the dogfish king/queen, they always get in the prizes! Rob

Here you go - booking in form:

Let's go go go! Forecast is no worse that last year and that was more than fishable! Launching at Cobbs for

Guys, I would say we are ON! Let's see what we can catch, the forecast is no worse than last year and the harbour and outside along the cliffs will be fishable, might just be a dogfest! Mark, there is no discount on fuel from Cobbs, launching is

OK - the forecast is improving on WindGuru since my last post! Windfinder is now looking fantastic! Met Office looks ok too! Fingers crossed!!!!!

It will all change and Saturdays weather will push in to Sunday and be lovely! I think that this could happen as we have seen the forecast change last minute before - it will have to get significantly worse for the Comp to be cancelled. Worse case, lets all go to the Boat House for a free curry! Rob

Many Happy Returns Stuie!

Hi Andy, I have no idea, but don't tell the FPO what it costs, or if you have to hide 50%!!!!

Brian. Crazy question...........Do you need an Auxiliary engine? With a nice modern main engine (I see you had yours personalised with your age written on the back), is there really a need? Have you had main engine issues? Do you ever use the aux outside of "giving it a run"? I bought an aux for my first boat, before I even had the boat! Then purchased a new Johnson main engine so didn't even bother mounting the Aux bracket and sold the aux to a friend. Many of the club boats only have one source of power, a good anchor which isn't tripped (or a way to quickly convert from tripped to secure) with plenty (100m of rode) should hold you should you get in to trouble. There are often a number of members out and other non member boats who would offer assistance to a stricken craft. Just call Tom Bettle, he needs no excuse to leave his desk!!! We have towed the occasional club member, haven't we Charlie!? Rob

Don't go to Belgium!

Well done for getting out Steve, thanks for the report. I know what you mean re engines, we can head in quick and / or move position to find shelter! I ran 7 miles in Dartmouth to hide in the lee of start point. Rob

How about a flexible cable lock and lock it to main engine or a secure fixing on the boat? Make it harder to take than the one next to you and they will the easier one. R
