The next club comp is the 17th Oct. This is the Flatfish / Ray Comp. We have a trophy for both the best ray and best flatty. I'll confirm the weather nearer the day. Book in on this thread please or by phone etc to me or the comittee if you wish to fish. 1.)

In out in Spain without access to my work email, so cant pick up photos. If Trev wants it then no problem with me. If not, unless Martin puts the picture on here, I'll catch up with you next week.

Graham, I might interested - but need to see a photo first?

Alan, After our discussion and your message - why dont you take a look at the Orkney PH 21? IMO if you want a 21' pilot house for fishing then these take alot of beating - OK they on on an outboard, but again IMO why do youy need a inboard for a 21' boat... Take a look anyway - more in your budget. We have at least 2 in the club.

What's that got to do with my sale? What you vaugely remember was me offering to pull together a group buy if enough people were interested. I got 3 people who wanted them - hardly enough to negotiate a big discount! If you want to try again - feel free! Anyone want my M421

Thought I'd offer this here before it goes on Ebay. Ive got a re-conditioned ICOM M421 VHF fixed Radio for sale. It was fitted to JV but developed a fault and was replaced by me with a new unit. In the meantime Icom have repaired the old unit and sent it back to me - it is now surplus to requirements. RRP was

Nice fish!! Is he a club member? Now the who club knows 'Dereks secret plaice mark' !!!

My only comment would be make sure you get out to sea in one before you buy. Dont be lured by shiney boats and bells and whistles. In my opinion that is the most important thing of all. Ive been on lovely looking boat that are horrible at sea... and ugly ones that are superb! Good luck!

I would have done Charlie - but it's Rach's birthday... not sure that would go down too well! Have a good night.

Thanks Charlie... I know what I mean! It's just you lot!!

Guys - I maybe need to clarify how you book your fish in for this comp. The two categories exist in case that one angler kills his best fish lets say 9lb which is the best booked in, but another angler catches an 8lb'er and returns it... What I'm saying is if you catch an 8lb'er and keep it, you book it in for both categories. I'll re-name the categories... OK?

Sorry to be pain chaps - can I ask you all to post your best bass here please, both kept and returned. Ive got a trophy for each, and I'll split the prizes 50/50 which will be a mixture of lures and end tackle. Best Bass: 1) 2) 3) Bass Returned if different from above: 1) 2) 3) Can you copy and paste the above to keep the list neat! Thanks

We too had a sh$te day on JV. The best laid plans and all that. We had a forced late start due to the late LW, pushed alot of tide until we got clear of the headlands, but then encountered the fresh NW'erly.... 20 miles later we were off the back of the IOW, mackeral were hard to find, infact we had 4 between 3 of us in 30 mins... We then started fishing and found over 4 knots of tide at the top of the bank.... so we moved inshore a bit - slightly calmer and less tide but no bass.... so we moved again.... 1pm by this time and weve had about 6 decent drifts, just lots of steaming into the silly tide and going nowhere... .... at 2pm we tried the well known IOW mark, but soon ran out of bait... so of again to find these.... but we couldnt, so back with 2 live baits and shads - 3rd drift we all hook up! HORAY!! ... but 2 fall off, and we get a plump 5lber in the net for Craig.... filled with optimism back up to hook up again... errrr... nope! That was it, so at 4pm I was crabby and fed up so we headed home, having visited pretty much all of the offshore bass marks off the IOW, traveled 55 miles, wasted 70L of diesel and caught 4 mackeral and a bass. Rubbish... infact one of the worst days Ive had out!! Still always next time and all that! Well done to the sensible boys who stayed inshore and caught a few fish!

At the moment, I'll call the comp as ON. Sun is a little window in the weather. Bright and Breezy would be my take on it. Met Office are giving NW 3/4, Windguru and XC both seem to agree. It's not going to be flat calm out there, but I think plenty of areas will be fishable. Take care out there, bear in mind the huge tides we have this weekend, and parts of the day will see wind against tide... some of the tide races we like to fish will be 'lively' to say the least. If it changes I'll post here, if not see you on the water.

What day does it finish? If it's on into next week, does anyone want to walk round with me?

Got the pro's onboard then trev!

Give me a ring on Weds mate - Ive got a good contact. Adam

What do Rockley charge for a stack and store? We are moving JV onto the dry stacks at Parkstone, and for a 7m boat it comes in at around

1) Adam - JV - Ben & Craig crewing 2) TW - Otter - Crew TBC 3) Tomo- Just Purfick- Full

No worries! You'll be on with Ben. Fingers crossed for the weather

This sunday is the annual bass specimen comp. We have trophies for the best specimen bass both kept and returned, plus a whole load of Sidewinder Lures and terminal tackle from Kiddy and Sakuma for the winners. Thhe bad news is the long range forecast isnt looking great, but I'll start the list anyway! 1) Adam - JV - room for crew

That good was it Ben...!

You might need to give a VHS player away with them!
