great white

Thanks Steve Will check that carefully when the boat comes ashore Charlie

Just because ot was run with no result, I personaly see no reason not to try again If some of us that fished last weekend can not make the new date, does that matter? Better to try and get a winner than just accept that there isnt one IMHO But this is a club so we should discuss and air our views so that the committee can make an informed decision So keep up the comments and help Neal out guys

For what it's worth re running the comp on another date would get my vote. There was some discussion on moving the flounder comp to allow us to fish steves comp, perhaps that is a good date

Unfortunately our results were exactly like Chris and crew 0 cod 0 ray

Manta ray. Tomo, PJ, Nigle, charlie, Paul D

Looks like alfresco did when she was craned into the garden Except that the outside is done and ready to go engine fitted etc, so its only the inside to do mate Not sure only is the right word Adam, good luck

Is this also the ray comp as discussed at last weeks meeting Neal?

Someone told me the other day that plice and all rays were banned for commercial fishing, but I have not seen anything in print and there seem to be a lot of nets about.

Well done mate Its made hell of a differance already, look forward to seeing how it developes from here. Hope the itching does not last long

belated Birthday wishes mate Hope that you had a good one

I am out for this weekend, helping Dan and Chrissie sort out their plumbing and electrics

Thanks Chris Must stop buying Wendy blunt rocks

Hi mate I know that you both bought the boat with the intension to do her up to the standard of JV1, Not sure that you were expecting some of the things you have found so far, or the ejecter seat. Some of these pictures shows what not to do. But it's all fixable buddy. Huge respect to Percy for getting her in to your garden, told you he was a good un. We all know the boat will be a cracker, when he picks her up in the spring Then look out fishes Charlie

Great stuff Rob Well done for all that effort and the fish.

Just bought a diamond sharpener, must remember to put it in my tackle box.

Well done George and the rest of your team Like others I look forward to reading a report

I find it hard to believe that there are knives out there that do not loose there edge at all, but then again I do not pay £40.00 or more for mine. [i was presented with the last two as club prizes] I carry several and usually swap over when one looses its edge, sharpening with a steel works for a while, but sooner or later they have to be sharpened properly on a stone as I like them to be sharp.

Hi George Well done again, perhaps we can all make use of the lessons that you will no doubt learn this week from your time with the rest of the England team and during the competition from the other teams too. By picking your brains at a future meeting I am sure that some of us can improve our skills in loads of areas. Its all right us old farts passing on what we have mostly taught ourselves, but you may well learn things this week that we are not aware of. Having fished on boats before with top match anglers, they have skills that are hard to match. Consistent results can not be put down to luck

Nice Fish Mal and well done for letting it have another chance at breeding well done all that took part, especially the ones that landed some of the target species

Well done George for being selected Good luck this week Most of all, enjoy it

Good to hear from you buddy boy Like all of your other friends in Poole all of the Chapmans wish you the very best for the future mate You know that your are always welcome on Alfresco Charlie

Welcome geoff Good luck with your boat search Charlie

I talled to Navionics this week at the boat show, unfortunately this is not available for android yet, and generally the ipad iphone works much better than there android stuff. Just got home from a trip with Dave on reel magic, now there is a boat full of great simrad toys After a recent tune up they are all talking to each other, sounder much better, radar and overlay on the plotter is terrific

Nice one Steve BA was a favorite beach venue in my youth

How about a nice comfy setee
