great white

Good job its fishing not karaoke Tight lines mate look forward to the report

What do the other skippers think Shall we fish what we used to call Commodores rules, ie pick an area on the day subject to the weather and fish within a set distance of each other. Or just fish where you want and keep in touch on the VHF It may also be good to get the boats close together at some stage for photos and so the kids can see each other Charlie

Make sure she fishes the first date Brian, the pink rod is very nice

Alfresco will be fishing somewhere crew to be confirmed.

Ebb tide There in three hours Adam Sounds more than possible

Have fun Don't you just love playing with GRP in the summer, the fumes seem even more intense.

When are you thinking of looking at this Peter?

Looking great Good luck releasing it from the mould

Nice one Sam I make that 11 juniors, so room for a few more Lets hope that the weather gods are kind, for the fishing and the barbeque. My thanks as well to all that have given prizes, volunteered boats etc And the Club for getting behind this. I am sure we can make this fun for the kids I taught my boys to fish when they were young and had great fun doing so When they grew bigger they talked mum into getting a bigger boat, RESULT.

Silly her for believing that Jim Tell her its to make it safer for the grandchildren

Great Adam Looks like a good start to the improvements I like to build up a good few layers of wetted GRP, Then roll it with a hard and ridged roller to get all of the air out, before it starts to set To see that there are no air pockets, it is easier if you do not add any pigment to the resin. I know that you are aware Adam, but others may not be.

Instead of leaving the fishing kit alone and doing jobs at home

After a great tripnlast year , its a shame that the weather has defeated us this year But like others we are now out.

Thanks all must have been to much sun and falling down juice need to get back out in the fresh air with a rod in hand

another month when it took a big specimen to win

Sorry I am getting a bit confused now, but I may have missed something while I was on holiday According to my diary and the calender on here The 20th July is the Club Ray comp Charlie

Great sight Only seen one once, about 4 years ago on our way out to the wrecks

Its been two weeks since this competition was postponed Has the new date been decided If so, can you let us know, as with notice I can make arrangements with work and crew. If it is not going to be fished, it would be good to know why. Charlie

Wendy and I have just returned from 11 days in Turkey saw clouds on only one of them and the temp went up at about 1 degree Celsius a day High twenties at the start was fine, but low forties when we left was a bit much. Less tanned post holiday than usual, due to need for air con/ shade / bar

No mate As much as we want to get fishing Other things have now come up that stop us going for the long weekend.

While away I changed my plan due to family matters, these may now have changed but like Adam I have now started to think more about a two day cherbourg trip, but thats for another date. I hope those that are looking to go, get a good weather window.

Hi mate I radiused the corners of the mould using easy sand body filler, you can get tools with various size round ends to shape the radius, but I used the end of a pallet knife. I am sure you have looked at this but try the mould in place on the boat with the leg fully up (they do go up further than you think) Have fun Charlie

Thanks Neal We will be back in time to just miss the open, but can now try our best to fish the 48hr comp When are you thinking of holding it?
