Im going to eggsit this thread now, enough is enough..

Phew! Glad to see the thread had finally eggspired. We must have eggsausted all the puns....

"it's how I got my nickname... Small Flies" "I couldnt get it out in time - then this happend!"

If you want to ressurect my previous format the rules are as follows: The comp runs for a week, Rob then picks a winner - it is then their turn to post a photo and then it runs for another week, they pick a winner and so it is passed on.

Nige, I agree - personally I'm finding it eggs-cruciating... The puns started off as a bit of fun but are now growing eggs-ponentially... OMG I cant stop....

How much is this 'bait'... I cant afford to 'shell' out too much - I hope they arent eggstortionate! This thread certianly has eggceeded all my eggpectations, but to be fair I think we may have eggsausted all the possible egg puns... but there may be a few left! That's all Yolks...

True, I think the thread is about to eggsplode!

Maybe I could poach a few of these to try before the day?...

When does this offer Egg-spire?

dur dum, dur dum, dur dum......

I would drift - more comfotable and covers a greater area - the chum trail stays with you. I'm not willing to kill 2-300 mackeral just for chum. I'll give James and Trevor a call. Still need crew on JV - although might nick one off WM if I cant get anyone

Weather for sat seems to be holding. Need to start firming up crews, and more importantly chum, which could take a bit of sorting? Anyone got any ideas? Plan B is mid channel wrecking.

New bow rail then? Or can it be bent back?

Looking at Sat for this trip guys. So who fancies it? 1) Adam JV - 2 crew places available

Bad news Charlie, sorry mate. However this doesn't sound like the damage we have heard of late, they wouldn't have been trying to steal it, so I'd suspect a collision that wasn't reported whilst on your mooring? Twice this year I've had to swerve to avoid yachts coming out of PYC who appear to have been out if control and have ended up grounded in the shallows not far from where Alfresco moors. Do you have CCTV covering the approach to the Marina?

Catch List: 1. 3lb 13oz - Rob Francis (Joint Venture) 2. 6oz-Nigel Allen. (court jester)-returned 3. 2lb 11oz - Toby Randle Toby 4. 1lb 6oz - Dan Redrupp - Aqus - returned

Agree with Martin - leave as is. Next year we wll give it some more thought.

Looking at the forecast this looks OK at the moment. - not great but do-able. F3/4 Westerlies all day. I'll take a final look on Sat but at the moment the comp is on. Gutted I cant make it - have fun those who can!
