Sam

well done all, we fished Friday but not the same amount of species (got fed up of loosing tackle and went ray fishing )

3) alfresco- Friday 14th- Sam, Charlie and will

happy birthday will, see you tonight.

fixed spools are a good starter reel as easy to use, I personally like the rovex fixed spools on sale at poole sea angling centre, simple reels but with plenty of bearings and I have never had an issue with mine, used for all different sorts of fishing including bass fishing in 40ft of water. (I think I payed about 30 quid each for them) I also like the abu ambassador 6000/5000 size reels, small but plenty of strength. my eldest uses all my old reels and has no problems with them so he should be fine with most reels on offer.

agree with rob, the rod dom uses works great and happily landed rays on It in the junior comps last year. this will be the rod I will be looking at getting jack when he turns four next year. sam

sorry to hear this Matt and my Condolences, as others have said it was always a pleasure fishing alongside you and your dad, my thoughts are with you and the family

Happy Birthday Dan. Good afternoon with beer and rugby So much for Scotland turning up

Dave, if to claim a new record the fish must be dead how can they recognise Curtis fish as a new record, doesn't seem to be much consistency. I have also filled in the form for fish jayden has caught and left half the form blank with no questions asked. I agree with fish should not be killed purely to be weighed and to a point I agree fish for records should be weighed on certified scales but as above that rule does not seem to always apply regards sam

happy birthday martin

happy birthday Ian.

happy birthday kev.

Happy New Year to all Was waiting for the A word to be mentioned. Alfresco crew will be in warmer climates this year though Sam

Just had whiting for my dinner. Caught on Thursday. Definitely a lovely eating fish. Lots of fun for the kids too. Sam

that's you told nigel

Should have bought the heavier rods. The worms are longer than the bass eating them

No rods heavier than a spinning rod. It's killing me

Sorry kev members from bath can only fish for three hours to give the rest of us a chance.

cant believe we are all staying in the harbour, many 20ft from there moorings with the current forecast. got a feeling I will be spending sunday wishing I was near a different island. but got to be in it to win it, and with jayden showing an interest and keen to go I shouldn't complain

Five is good for us as will be coming from parkstone

Looks great. What time does the weigh in open/close on Sunday

I mentioned to Eileen about coming but she didn't seem too keen on floundering in the cold. Can't work out why lol

8) Alfresco- Sam and Jayden

Well done all. I really appreciated seeing pictures of cod on facebook when feeling rough lol

I have also heard the manager of the yacht club makes good coffee and is happy to talk fishing for hours. Lol
