Sorry mate I am on a first aid course Or I would have been very tempted to dust off some gear Have a good one Charlie

Nice one Peter Thats two of that size recently is'nt it? Your own Club record must be under threat No guessing where you will be during the 48hr comp then Charlie

Nice one Alun and Paul A great first trip by all accounts Good fish and good weather, I hope the new boat stayed clean Charlie

Well done all A very impressive turnout and some very good fish landed weighed and returned. Even though I could not fish I managed a nice brace for tea thanks to the Prodigy Crew, who were in the prizes for the Dolphins event. Charlie

Duncan I have bought in bulk for the wireing up of "Alfresco" and will have over purchased most sizes If it is crimp on connectors you need call me. Charlie

Mike have I missed something here? You do not seem to be complaining about blatent advertising om this thread Charlie

Tight lines Gordon, oh and have a good holiday as well Charlie

It is essential that we are aware that the final decision to go to see rests with the boat owner/skipper. As he has the knowledge of his boat and crews capability. He must make his own weather checks and decision. IF IN DOUBT DO NOT GO. The Committee can and will give guidlines and call off some comps if the weather is as poor as yesterday. but with such a variety of boats and areas to fish it is a hard decision to make. To be honest the Members have usually made it themselves anyway. We have in the past fished comps "Harbour Only" but nowadays that could be several harbours and the fairness would depend on which comp you were fishing. Bag weights Portland, species comps Portland, Christchurch and not so good at our base harbour in Poole. IMHO any SE forcast is a bad one. and an Easterly limits the fishing and catching from Poole Charlie

Be interested to hear how you get on with it Adam I have a simular unit for the Volvo, It is not a part that came with the engine so I need to test it before I build it into the dash. It seems well worth fitting to keep an eye on the effeciency of the boat Charlie

Thanks Guys I had a really great day away from work and only part of it building the boat I hope Dave also had a good one CU at Parkstone Yacht Club on Thursday night Charlie

Thats what its all about a nice day out plenty of nice fish and those not required all put back well done you Charlie

Not exactly a quiet sunday sailing trip on the Frisky Fox More like a white knuckle ride at Alton Towers Hell of an adrenalin rush though Charlie

Alun all the local beaches are sandy but below the mid tide line it turns to very soft grey mud. and the tide rise and fall is amongst the higest recorded anywhere. This give the sea that awful muddy colour [so fish hunt by sent.] and the massive tidal flows It does not effect the fishing too bad and is helped by huge worm beds on the mudflats and a very good population of crabs around places ike Hinkley point power station a lot of the small eels are feeding on the worms and crabs and rockfish. any well scented bait will usually work Charlie

Nice Thornback Charlie well done Charlie

Well done Sam on passing the course so well and for taking the excitment in your stride another story for the repetoire Charlie

Tomo I have the moulds you are after but at the moment they are on loan If I get them back this week I will let you know Charlie

Nice one Guys Very glad you had a good day for it,and plenty of fish, shame more boats could not go. Alun the only reason you get eels in the shallow water is the murky water They just are totally unaware of the bright sunlight. Charlie

Nice one trevor I am sure you will be out with the big bass very soon I hate to hijack the post but could your good lady make me an urgent ish Club Pennant for the boat. The Name is "AlFresco" If it could be ready for may 5th it would be great, and No it is not the launch date Cheers Charlie

Nice one Paul Keeping the fish book busy Charlie

PR is definatly their game and well done to them for it a huge well done again to Alan and eveyone at the Club who has helped forge links with the BASS society Charlie

Wish I was coming with you guys, but I had better keep working on the boat My old fishing grounds came up trumps last time when I fished with Martin and Dean on Maverick. we had over 40 thornbacks onboard at Hinkley Point Tight lines Charlie

Nice one Duncan and thanks for taking Sam last Friday Charlie

Tight lines guys Like James we are still on the sidelines Hope you keep Paul busy with catch reports Charlie
