When I fished out of Pompey anyone targeting them would insist on large ragworm baits. Fished in shallow warm water over mud . an incoming tide on a hot day when the mud had been warmed by the sun was the prefered times. The only one I have had onboard was caught by Wendy over rough ground in deep water on fresh Mackerel. So that blows the above theory to bits. It went 34lb by the way. Charlie

Nice one Billy A few more trips like that and the kids willbe nagging you to join the Club. It would be good to get a few more juniors involved and then we could look at doing more for them. Charlie

Nice one Adam Confirmed in the book as new Club Record Can someone update the website record list please. The Small Eyed was not disallowed it was not big enough thats all well done for an alternative plan that worked. Charlie

Nice one Billy I received the emails and will add to the book later Charlie

Nice photo Paul and hell of a nice boat. Does anyone know her dimensions? I would think that it probably draws a lot of water and would struggle to get into Poole Harbour let alone the Yacht Club. Charlie

Hi Billy You can record anything you have caught and would like added to the book, as long as it was not caught on a charter boat and was caught in the Club area. Charlie

Hi Newboy If you want the fish recorded in the book I will need to know your real name and the weight details of the fish, Send me a email if you are shy Nice fish Charlie

Nice one Bob How big was It? And you only have to let the youngsters catch the biggest fish when they are your Kids. Not when its their boat!!!!! Glad you had a good day Charlie

Hi Adam they are in the book. Glad you had a good day. Those big Smoothies go very well don't they Well done Charlie

Looks like Dorset was fighting hard to me Yes I know it was fish really GW was there at the end of that day Well done guys. Time to have another go soon Charlie

Nice fish adam on a good Day Sam and Daniel want to know when you are going to get a real one!!!!! Charlie

I have not seen him but have heard from other that have. Hope he is not eating to many of the nursery bass. Charlie

Bob /Adam that is why the record is now higher for the small eyed/Painted Ray. The old Small Eyed holder did not mind [Me ], records are there to be broken by better fish. Its nice to have good fish holding our records just makes them harder to beat. I am sure having to try harder will not put you off Adam Tight lines Charlie

Saw Pete this afternoon they are not sure how it started, but it was not an accidental operation of a flare as some rumours are saying. It is all being cleared up by the staff of the various businesses so I am not sure if we could help. We at the Club have offered where we can but at the moment have not been asked. We have a small Force 4 Chandelery set up at the Club this weekend and Pete is helping on the Stalls. So if anyone wants a few things urgently then they may be able to help. If anyone had run up a tab with Pete or the other businesses now would be a good time to be forthcoming with the money. I am sure they would appreciate a bit of income and your honesty as there records are not all intact. I think it would be good if the Club wrote to them offering our support if they need it now and when they re-open. Martin if you do the letters I will deliver them. Charlie

Hi All I have just checked the NFSA website under rules Sub Heading Festival and Competition rules It reads the Same for Shore or Boat Hooked Fish. The deliberate foul hooking of fish is not permitted; however, accidental foul hooked fish are allowed at the discretion of the Organisers, if specified before the start of the competition. In the event of fish being hooked by two or more competitors or caught on lost traces, they shall not be eligible for weighing in. This does not specify that they are hooked in any specific area, but it does state it is at the organisers discretion and should be specified before the comp. Do we need to sort this out prior to the next comp Martin and amend our fishing rules to specify? Charlie

Bob nice to see that so many on the list are saying yes/yes there are several of the no's that are no longer Members, a very touchy point at the last meeting. But you may not have been updated on that one. Charlie

Hi all I popped in this afternoon its a mess I feel very sorry for Pete and the rest of the businesses down there. Not only are they a good bunch but they have always supported our winter competition as sponsors. The access to the yard seems to have re-opened and I think that it will be back to work tomorrow. Diving shop and select marine seemed to be working today Charlie

Will you lot stop arranging these trail aways look what you have done to the bloody weather. No fishing this evening Charlie

1/2 the main building gone including the office, up holsterers, chandlers, Yellow Penguin up to La artisan Not sure if the building will need to be closed or how long for Charlie

Hon Fish-recorder I like the sound of that makes me feel very Grand. Under NFSA Rules I believe they would count as the fish was hooked, as opposed to tangled in the line. This was a matter of some discussion when I fished for the Navy and it was clarified that all fish hooked counted. As we fish under NFSA rules then they also count for us in the PBSBAC. Martin would you like me to check with the NFSA? Charlie

The weather looks OK for tomorrow and family coimmitments look good for an evening trip Anyone like to join me at 1700 for a trip out, we will have to fish through the ebb as slack water not until about 2300. let me know I can take a couple of people. Rich I will try and call you Charlie

Yes please Count GW as in like Martin I am unsure of crew or fishing times yet. IT IS THE FIRST OF THE COMPETITIONS THAT COUNT TOWARDS THE BFM SUMMER COMP. SO PLEASE ATTEND/COMPETE AND JOIN US AT THE PRIZEGIVING. Remember all you have to do is let the organisers know you are fishing that weekend and report your best fish. So even if you are not the keenest competition angler you might as well join in. the entry fee is minimal to the amount on offer Very tight lines Charlie

I Thought that was whistler I saw coming down Gravel Hill this morning Welcome back Peter Tight lines Charlie

Another Mackeral trick then Rich??? At the end of Thursdays trip a buket full of mackeral finished up in the Marina, Rich salvaged 6 [out of a couple of dozen] but not the old bucket. : There went the frozen bait for the next trip Charlie

This one [19lb] came on the uptider just as the tide had started to relly flood in 42metres of water off anvil point hell of a struggle to get in but it swam away ok Charlie
