great white

Well done Fred and team. With all that effort and practice not a lucky win After the meeting on Thursday I gave a brief on anchoring and recovery techniques. Out in Swanage today I very nearly lost mine. With other boats, kayaks and pot buoys around me it was a bit tricky finding a route to steam the Alderney ring on. Hope that the crack is an easy fix mate.

Good call today guys I was at ballard by 7, it started raining and the wind came up The drone would not have flown today When the sun came out it was nice in Swanage, gentle warm breeze. For the second day running much better there than in Poole, and a few better size bream too.

Early start today to beat the forcasted wind in Swanage there was only gentle breeze all day I am sleeping on board and meeting Will at about 7.30 Happy to push out to test the weather. But not if all the others are going to Arne Coming back this afternoon it was much worse in the swash than in Swanage bay Can someone text me the details as I will turn the mobile data off later Thanks

Thanks Greg I will leave the boat down just for Jayden at the moment in case Sam also wants to take Jack. If he decided not too nearer the date I will be back in touch to see who needs a ride. Same in August, I will hold back now, but if Wendy's plan changes Alfresco comes available if needed.

Sorry Mike I do not have a diary of the exact weather Forecast. It was accurate to what we experienced, and safe enough at a sensible passage speed [10-12 knots in the worst areas] but the swells mid channel stopped us all fishing which meant it was just a long slog home. We burnt as much fuel as we usually do wreck hopping and fishing all of the way.

Hi All Earlier today I visited Andy to spend the voucher that I picked up at the Dinner Dance. I was in there about a month ago and it was pretty bare, Wow what a difference since he got back from his travels. It is well stocked with a good variety of lures, jigs rigs etc. He has some pretty good rods and spinning reels at good prices too [well he has 1 less of each now] Before I left he gave me the tour and was proud of the big selection and quality of the bait that he holds. Now is a good time to pop in if you are after a restock, or even just bait. Remember to mention that you are from the Club, as he has been is one of our sponsors for 13 years and can offer some discounts. Well done Andy, great improvement mate.

Well done Boys

Please add Christine to the Alfresco crew for tomorrow

Glad you got a ride Paul That means not only have I got to miss going that weekend, but I also have to look after the Yacht Club while you fish.

I will be checking the weather and we are not even going the first weekend, LOL

We are hoping to try a spot of Breaming on Sunday so please put us down.

Nice one guys Sounds like there are plenty of fish about out there

Hi all I have just spoken to Michael in the Mainbrayce Chandlers, he readily agreed to look after us again with fuel at the Fisherman's rate, reduced fares for the water taxi and Duty Free. Just let the shop know that you are with the Club before ordering these things please He also reminded me that he can supply electronics and even small outboards if pre ordered and collected, they are VAT free. If that is of interest to anyone going please speak to him on 01481 822772. When I thanked him I mentioned that I got a turbot or two out of it last year, he jokingly told me he didn't, so if anyone going on the first weekend could let him have a fish, it would help to keep this arrangement going. lets all we all get there Charlie

Has anyone spoken to Mainbrayce about fuel yet?

Welcome back Fred Going to liven the Club up again with your banter mate.

Well done Mike and Carol Good luck with the sale of Frisky and the refit of Feisty

Wow what a start to the year , needing a fish over 165% to win each month. Lets hope that continues, well done Colin, Nigel and Dave
