Hi All, anyone got any good sources for scrap lead to make some more weights, the guys I thought I could get it from can only supply at a silly price. looking for about 10kg's Sam

happy birthday paul

happy birthday mate, no doubt with the forecast outside you are on the boat tight lines sam

cracking days fishing well done, and great to see all the fish returned, well done

wasn't sure if people still did as I haven't for a couple of years. due to being a busy time of year. was saying to dad only yesterday I want to get back into more competitions again, so looking at what else I can do next year with maybe a bit of travelling

is anyone thinking of entering this one, haven't fished it for a couple of years. Andy said to me the other day if he doesn't get some attendance he will have to stop running his comps. it would be good to support Andy as he is a big supporter of our club and has been for years. I for one would like to fish this comp again

sad news as one of the great skippers out of Weymouth, condolences to chris's family sam

It was not one of my better decisions Steve She spent the whole boat show comparing all the boats to alfresco. So me trying to persuade her on a 16ft boat did not go well Sam

done, however completing this survey has made me realise that I am obsessed with fishing

well done graham, I had a good look around one of them last Saturday, really nice boat and very smart with the big boys toy on the back. stupidly of me I let Eileen have a look around a sunseeker so now im stuffed with my ideas. sam

happy birthday james

well done to those who managed to get fishing less than ideal conditions looking out from swanage. nice to see another Junior mentioned in a competition, at this rate they will be taking over Sam

Nice pollack though neal

miss understood the excitement Charlie, aah brotherly competition, never goes away haha

Hi Derek, just tried it on my computer and it comes up with 'you like this' next to the original button, the original button changes to unlike. if this is what you are seeing you are liking things and nothing is wrong hope this helps Sam

that was the highlight of the day rob, watching little dom being towed by a small eyed ray. he handled it really well on his own. he was more impressed with his smoothound as he had never caught a shark sam

that's makes sense greg, I have the photos on my office computer so will send the ones across to dad and chris of the action regards, sam

yes rob and he also no holds the british record for his baillion wrasse caught in the second junior comp

Hi Greg I am glad you managed to upload the photos I have failed miserably adding the ones you sent me regards, sam

Hi Adam most of them should be on here. I have some to add from Greg and don't have Jacks Conger. I am working from home tomorrow so will try and sort them out Stand by oli when I get frustrated with the laptop Sam

right Guys, the weather looks great for sunday and small tides (yes sods law I know) Alfresco will be on channel 6 from half 7 onwards and will be heading out early to check the weather and choose a suitable area, I have spoke to a few skippers this week and the inshore fishing is very good at the moment. either call on the radio or my mobile on sunday and we will let you know the area, depending on the fishing/ weather will depend on the area and how flexible we are with the location. prize giving will be at half 5 at cobbs quay giving me time to sort it out. also a gentle reminder that the best prizes in this comp are for best 3 specimens, some lovely rods and reels to win and still all to play for. unfortunately the hats are not going to arrive in time due to a slower delivery time than expected from supplier. these will be supplied to all juniors at a later date. all familys are welcome at the bbq along with the supporters of this competition. tight lines and see you all sunday sam

on a side note I know a few of the dads are now away in Norway, if you can arrange someone to bring the kids down for the prize giving would be great, prize giving will be at 5.30 at the cobbs quay bbq area (weather dependant) regards, sam

Hi All, this Sunday is the final competition for the junior comps this year and also the prize giving at cobbs Quay, so far we have had a great turnout with some nice fish being caught. all the prizes are now organised and each entrant will receive a hat and small trophy for entering. the top 3 specimen is still all to play for, and there is still a heaviest fish and total number of species to be won for the 3rd competition. there has been some great donations from the club and some great prizes worth winning. I will keep a close eye on the weather and update nearer the weekend dependant on the forecast, it would be great to fish all 3 competitions this year. can you all list the names of the juniors that will be fishing and on which boat, Alfresco- Jayden Wald, Jacob Givans, Jack Allen cheers, sam
