Dan I fish the Rips and the wrecks the same way, using shads ,redgills, sidewinders etc on flying collar rigs and longer traces than used hopping. Simply drop t the bottom slowly to avoid tangles then wind uo 40 turns before dropping again and repeating. If/when you get a take you will know, the rod just takes a bend as the tip powers seawards. DO NOT STRIKE just wind, after letting the clutch do its work. I will PM later Charlie

The marks on the RIPs are just outside the BS and worth a go as are a few well reported wrecks close by. Please be aware that the water is very deep 50-60m, so consider the length of anchor warp required, and be sure to have enough before thinking of anchoring. 150m MINIMUM on a calm day at slack. Good news is there are plenty of bait fish out there. If you need them. tight lines Charlie

Definatly the right man Nigel You will not see any repair when Marty has finished. Charlie

I thought when reading "Pollacks" you were having a typo about the football. Charlie

Nice picture of a good fish Paul We tried hard for our fish at the weekend too. Charlie

Thanks Mark If any of the Kayakers want to join that will be great, and you will be more than welcome. We are planning to go to Portland Fri 9th July Boats booked into Marina for two nights. Trailer boats coming by road to use acadamy slipways. The Marina restaurant is booked for a meal on sat night for those that fancy it The fishing plans are as loose as you like, some of the ladies are staying ashore on Sat [going into Weymouth for retail therepy] while some boats go fishing See the main thread, under trip planning for more details Obviously its all weather dependant. Charlie

Thanks Dave Good to remind people, the good thing is they tend to hug the island to Make the race as short as possible. But they start early, 0630 for the first classes I believe. Charlie

The point was, that I obviosly talked it up so much everyone developed the same plan. and to be honest once we were all there it would not fish. Not moaning as I returned the favour later in the same day on another lump, that we went to to drift at slack tide. It would perhaps be better to be more open with each other regarding which wrecks we are targetting so that we spread about more. It would have stopped me crowding that later one. It would work OK as long as we are all willing to share the catch info afterwards. Charlei

Not much of a secret then its what we usually do. Just doing what others do, Adam I should learn from Alderney, where we discussed plans so much 6 of us arrived at the same wreck. Charlie

Great report again guys and a really nice smut Charlie

Oli give me a call mate to discuss, we will be a few miles out on the best day at least Charlie

That was quick Space taken Charlie

It looks like I will have a space available on teh boat on Sunday If anyone fancies joining us onboard for the days fishing, please get in touch. Plans will be determined by weather etc Charlie

Nice one Graham I hope you have loads of fun on her and we look forward to seeing you afloat. Now add your name to teh 48 hr comp list and get a win to start her off. Tight lines Charlie

It would be good to compare the signal from the same boats one with and one without the baguette holders fitted, then perhaps get one to put up a proper Radar reflector as well If I am out I would be happy to do that for you. and I have a radar reflector on a pole that could be used. A couple of times on the alderney trip when close to boats in poor vis, it was obvious that some had a much better Radar reflection than others, and it was not just down to size of boat. If not before, it may be something that could be done on the Weymouth trip in July. Charlie

You will know how I felt when the boys took the bot out without me now Adam I bet you spend all day thinking about it so much you may as well have gone. Tight lines guys Charlie

1) Adam F 2) Alun J 3) Charlie C 4} Dan C 5) Will S 6) Gordon M Come on guys this is a great comp and it can be won by a specimen landed from anywhere in Club waters, so we all have a chance. lets see if we can beat the numbers for the bream comp. slight update ,hot from last nights committee meeting All entry fees to be paid by July meeting, Prize money will be paid out at that meeting from Club funds to prevent delays. Charlie
