July Comp Detail:

After the July Comp we have:

Crikey, with all the time out in to this thread we could have rebuilt the rod! Is fishing slow? R

Tough times Matt, But great memories made that you can always cherish! Write down some of the stories of the fun you had and email them to yourself, then you can easily go and read them all in one place. Plus when you are old you can regurgitate them with all the details! Chin up and don't be a stranger to the forum! Rob

'Was' is correct!

Tuesday evening no weed on ebb and some nice undulates etc . Doubt the overfalls on the tiny tides and no wind. R

THere is no 23 sept! (or 29 aug - think you meant 19th).

The 2 days dose indeed give flexability but the single sunday is to get as many anglers to Cobbs on th day. Remember you only have to fish 1 day to take part in the species and specimen comps. Rob

Thanks Mal, i confirm it is a go go go!

I think Duncan / BathClaret had movers on the wheels of his trailer and it had a high battery post. As you say the battery in / on the car is useless at Baiter. I have an Anderson connector in the bow of my boat that I can plug my mover in to, for positioning the trailer on the drive etc. You could do similar but need cable c. Length of winch strap that you let out. Do you guys keep your manual winch incase of failure of motor/ battery etc? Would a 2 speed manual winch not be an alternative? R

Terry / Plaicemat lives in Oxfordshire!

A few snaps, some more to come but on proper camera. I have some pics to send to Billy at the Undulate Program.

So, after last weeks fun on JV after work, Adam invited me again, how could I refuse. We met at Parkstone Bay and off we went - the inital plan was bait! We tried around Peveril and to no avail - nothing. Mackerel drought was the thought. After 30 mins we decided to push out to the end of Durlston where there was some tide. Bingo - the motherload! full strings and some nice big eaters. We tried for a bass (low expectation due to minimal tide) but at max 1 knot drift it wasn't looking good. We had 3 or 4 drifts and then headed to the evenings ray mark we sat at last week. With the wind (10knts) beating the tide it was annoying, so after a few mins and a doggy we moved to the shelter of the Purbecks. We found the with the westerly wind and the southerly tide flow that had built JV sat nicely. Baits down and round 2 of dinner. Some undulates made an appearance, a small eyed and a thorny. There were of course a couple of dogs too. The eveing was lolvely, sky amazing, and some good fish. The one mis-hap was a custard slice that hit the deck, luckily JV is kept spotless and said slice was still consumed! Best was to Adam, Undulate 12lb 10oz.

No worries Sam, let us know the day beforehand as per the rules.

What date please? 8th or 9th
