Happy Birthday guys - have a good day Neal

Great to see everyone at the end.......... Everyone agreed that it had been a great success and well done Lofty for organising it. Neal

Bad Weather and probably because it's Easter Sunday? not many wanted to go out........ It is cancelled Neal

This coming Sunday, we have our first competition of the year - a Species Hunt Last year this was won with 5 species - by those travelling miles offshore. The water was cold following that very cold spell and the inshore fishing was very poor. This year the water is warmer and many boats are recording several species per trip - so this is a chance to either get started - or boost your current total. Book in here! 1) Neal - not sure which boat.......yet!

Beaulieu Boat jumble on 27th April -

Just a reminder...... Next Saturday - Dorset Boat Jumble at Canford Arena Neal

Just look at the number of nets that appear as soon as the Bream arrive - mostly for foreign markets. And the Trawling ............and the removal of thousands of breeding fish........... This happened before and they were almost wiped out - 30 years ago? Took that long to make a comeback - happening again? Probably should be a closed season for breeding fish - won't happen. When they are gone.........too late Neal

Just a reminder............ If you are one of the winners listed above, your presence at the Dinner Dance / award presentation evening is kindly requested. We have 16 trophies and 40 prizes to give out - Even if you were unlucky not to win something last year - please come along and support this great event Neal

Thanks all - afraid to say I had a quiet night in. I did manage to find a couple of beers - just for medicinal purposes! Neal
