As a compromise have you considered Lymington or Bucklers Hard ? I know Rockley are looking to enlarge their caravan site plus other work around the boat yard which might have an impact for access when it goes ahead.

Attached is the poster for the Open Boat Flounder Comp organised by Poole dolphins raising funds for the RNLI Poole Lifeboat station Cash prizes Sunday 12th January £10 entry fee per person minimum 2 people per boat Sign in Salterns Marina carpark 7.30-8.0am RNLI Fishing Comp Poster 2020 (1).pdf

Take all your lifejackets off the boat and keep them at home in a dry environment. They tend to go off on their own during these damp evenings and mornings

Hi Steve Yes Rob is correct any fish caught in UK and Irish waters The rules have remained the same since 2013 so fish away where you like Dave

Happy Birthday Steve, have a great day

At least the visitors have gone at the old Upton oil site Suspect they have headed to the Steam Fayre at Blandford

Mick, give this guy a call Contact details are Gary Allner on 07944101577 Lives in Wallisdown He replaced a reel seat on one of my rods a year ago and it was a super job and very reasonable. I think he does rod repairs from the local shops so could be the guy others have mentioned.

Give Frank a call Neil, I am only the message boy

As a starting point I would suggest looking at the chart/plotter for the 100ft contour from St. Catherine's point Westward Don't forget that drawing a line from St Catherine's through the Isle of Wight to West Cowes/Southampton anything westward is in club waters for records & comps etc. Dave

Hi, Frank Morris (Happy Hooker) has asked me to put up details of a complete Garmin navigation system as he is having pc issues. All the equipment is brand new and bought in 2013 and never been used. The Plotter is a Garmin 4012 (cost £2,000 when new) and comes with a Furno radar again brand new and not used, not sure of model.

Just to update this, I have now produced a list of specimen fish going back to 2012 to end of June this year. The results are on two pages so at least you can read them without a magnifying glass. It is surprising that some of the higher numbers of fish caught are where people are saying they are scarce There are some obvious scarce species. Hope it is of interest to some Dave Specimen Records.pdf

Hi Stuie A discussion took place at the meeting and it was suggested that Tope be reduced by 5kg this was not my suggestion however many at the meeting agreed that you should have at least some chance of catching a 100% specimen but over the last 4.5yrs no one has caught a 100% Tope. To everyone I have updated Charlie's spreadsheet, which was published last year, on fish caught since 2015 to June this year, I have added 2018 + 6 months of this year (2019 figures on based on the 2019 specimen size list) If you look at this list against the Wessex Specimen list for 2019 you can make up your own minds. When you view the sheet it will be sideways, so if you look on the pdf menu you should see a heading View, click on this and a rotate menu comes up click on anti-clockwise and you should see it normally unless you want to print it out Specimen Fish caught.pdf

In the Wessex area of the Angling Trust, Hampshire think that some of the specimen weights are unfair and would like some changes and maybe break away and have their own area of specimen weights. So we in the Dorset are have a golden opportunity to get any amendments to our area. It was suggested that we get Tope reduced to 40lbs from 45lbs if any club member has any other suggestions for change on any species I need to know before 18th July Also does anyone have any thoughts about Hampshire having their own area weights or should they stay with us? I have attached the current listing. Specimen Weights 2019.pdf

Just don't go over the channel with Red diesel in the tank as you could get a hefty fine!

Happy Birthday Charlie Hope you celebrate in style

Allan has asked me to post Frank's picture of his Plaice to be added
