Results! Kind of Magic Black Bream 1lb 11oz - Dave Samuel Court Jester Black Bream 2lb - Neal Sturt

I have been watching the forecasts change on an almost hourly basis The competition is on..........the wind is going to be about force 4 and Northerly It shouldn't be too bad inshore which fortunately is where the Bream are? but take care. Neal

I have room for 1 or 2 people for the Bream Comp this Sunday Neal

Beat me to it! - I hadn't forgotten it 1) Allan Green. Crew Dave Samuels and one other on Kind of Magic subject to weather and crew confirmation 2) Graham on Mistress with 2 non members crew (weather, crew and boat dependent) 3] Alfresco, Charlie, Dan, Stuart and Will [Possibly Gordon Moore as well] 4) Neal Sturt - crew tba

Now sorted.........just hope we can find some fish!

I am planning to go out looking for a few Bream this Sunday Anyone want to join me please PM It is likely that the Ledge will be rather full of Boats as it is the Lymington / Loni's Bream comp - so I may look elsewhere ready for next weekends Poole Sea Angling Centre and our club Bream comp. Neal

Due to the forecast and the lack of enthusiasm! I am cancelling this particular event - we do however have another species hunt planned for the middle of the drought...........err I mean summer. I am taking a couple of the Kayak guys round to Swanage Bay to do a bit of a species hunt prior to their comp next weekend. Followed by a try for some Bream off Ballard So if anyone else manager to get out - Good Luck Neal

Better bring him along this evening as well!!! Neal

Happy Birthday Charlie Enjoy your day Neal

Happy Birthday Dave I hope you have a good one Neal

Well Done all for getting out............I didn't fancy it at all. Garry - you've got the boat (Wishin) - now you have to join the club. Neal

Remember this is to raise funds to support our junior members Niggle

Start again Sunday 6th May - new date for species comp - if this drought ever goes away! 1) Neal Sturt

Try Stainless Steve - or failing that, it is the Beaulieu Boat jumble next Sunday Neal

Well done mate. Look forward to trip real soon - perhaps in better conditions than the Sea Trial!!! Neal

I am re-scheduling the species comp for the May Bank Holiday weekend The proposed date will be Sunday 6th May. This could be used as a final practice for all the Kayak Crews before their National Species Hunt the following weekend. Their are 3 new kayaks up as prizes plus, write up's in all the mags. A great opportunity for the Kayak Section of the Club. Also should give the Alderney adventurers a last shakedown before they go! Neal

Check first with the Marina Office to see if they can spot something on their CCTV They are very keen to stop this kind of thing happening as it is bad publicity Neal

Are those to keep your plant pots in place during strong winds Jim? Neal

Due to adverse weather Competition Postponed new date to follow Neal
