I think it looks like it has potential, better to be represented than not. If stocks are declining we need to act now and maybe this is the time \ option to do so. Better that decisions are made with all the information (though unlikely!). I guess the authorities are damned if they do and damned if they don't!! With MCZ's on the horizon and protected areas (Lyme bay), the new IFCA's, I feel more positive about the future of our sport than have for the previous 5 years +. Rob

Only cause the oyster can just out run the sail boat, giving them a fighting chance!

Collected by a member a week or two ago. You may have told me you have it but I have forgotten!!!!! Who art thou? Rob

of wine?

Dave, I will get you a float of

All, I have had a number of offers for assistance on Sunday and I thanks you all. Jim Davies (Small Flies) and Dave Haffon-Hobbs will be running the show from PSAC. Cheers Rob

Andy, Thanks for you offer. I have also had another, I will contact you shortly. Thanks Rob

Jim - it's next week! Can you help? This is now falling apart!!! Rob

Well done Lofty! Is that not a Tub Gurnard? Help anyone? Rob

Thanks Stuie, I was hoping for some one to do the whole stint, though I will keep you in mind if I have no other offers. Rob

Interesting that it is a combination of mullet and bass specimen comp! I hope that all Yakkers have been given a permit from Sembcorp Bournemouth Water to allow them to fish the upper reaches of the harbour! Not cheap as

All, I am looking for someone who is able to book competitors in to the Open comp on Sunday 18th Sept at Poole Sea Angling Centre. My usual staff are off on holiday or something so I need help! It is a case of, hand out forms and pens, receive cash and retain both cash and entry form page. You will need to be there just before 7 to be ready for the rush, and stay till 8. Thanks Rob

Nice one, Martin is on page 18 with his monster flattie! Go Pbsbac!!!

The Echo says they went home without signing out. Heart Foundation to review their procedures! Hope they donate some funds to compensate the RNLI. Rob

Cheers Charlie, Got your massage. We did get a few gusts first thing but I think that was Charlie! I am glad to see the wind slowly built as expected!! Rob

Remember launch fees! You have Baiter or a private slip. I think a Baiter annual pass is around

Permanent or temporary storage? That will probably make a difference. Rob

No "Cancellation" Paul, I likr the word "Postponed"!!!! Thanks all for the support. Charlie A and I headed down to Cobbs this morning anyway for 06:30 to intercept and manage any confusion should participants arrive having not found out about the 2 week delay. The good news was that word had spread or they had looked at teh weather, as no-one truned up by 08:00, so we went and amended the poster on the Quay and spoke to Andy at PSAC (whilst CA edited the dates on loads of handouts!!). Cheers Rob

Congrats, she needs a medal!!! I hope Tom can make the new Open date, as he had binned tomorrow due to wedding! Under the thumb before married!!! Seriously, hope you had a good day and enjoy life as man and wife. Rob

Thanks for the support everyone! I think postponing it has tripled the work!!! Here hoping for millpond conditions on the 18th!!! Rob

All, with the current weather forecast many of us have discussed our optionas and resulted in postponing the comp for 2 weeks to the 18th September. PLease can you let others know. Thanks Rob

All, Your comittee is keeing a keen eye on the weather for Sunday. Unless there is a sudden increase in wind the comp is most definatley ON!!! The card up our sleeve is that we may consider reducing the minimum weight-in specimen percentage from 50% to 33%. This would be to allow more fish to claim prizes should the weather restrict craft to fishing in the harbour and \ or just outside. This decision will be made tomorrow around midday / early afternoon, should it have an effect on your tactical planning!! Tight lines all, Rob

Please see the specimen catch list below: N.B. - Silver Eel has been removed

Tony, I think that this is a decision that the Open Comp Comittee (Me and Charlie) can make, but I am more than happy for the members to voice an opinion and we can make our decision bearing that opinion in mind. Rob

What more could you want (no need to post, not really a question!!). We may have a pack of lures for every fish weighed in over 50% too! So, that's your
