boybilly Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Martin, Tried your home no. Left my no. with your son(?) I have got a prize for the comp. Since phoning you I have spoken to Mark Bessant ( Loyal Royal ) and he is coming to Weymouth tonight so I will give it to him to bring back. It is a brand new(still boxed ) Maxximus 3/0. Very nice reels mate. About Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Cheers Billy, much appreciated mate. I tried to phone you but got answer phone then saw your post. See you at the comp if not before. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hi, May I suggest someone contact the Weymouth fishing shops and Fladen who are also based in Weymouth I believe. WHilst I have my thinking cap on what about Wessex or Pain flares? Just a suggestion which may have already be thought of.

boybilly Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Right lads, The time has come for the big question with some honest answers(Not that I am suggesting for one moment that you would try and mislead). What tackle do I need for Sunday and what are we going to be fishing for? Is the tide right for the codding or will it be whiting and general fishing? Can you give me some idea on times Mark and where can we meet? Regards, BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 well Billy I have been advised that there is an excellent run of Marlin and Sailfish currently so the best thing I can do is troll large surface lures around Poole Bay at 8knots alternatively if you just want the kudos of winning the competition then the winning specimen is likely to come from (1) red mullet (2) pouting (3) doggy (4) whiting (5) wrasse (6) bass with a ray being an outsider but not to be ignored! otherwise just enjoy the day fishing for cod..........and taking what comes the pool, being for the largest fish rather than specimen as I now understand it (?) , should be snaffled by a conger (round) and a turbot/brill/plaice (flat) - if the sea is dead calm - or flounder ('cos so many will be fishing for them) if not. All very boring and predictable really............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boybilly Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 That would be a new one for me mate. Never caught one before. Can I understand that there are two comps running juxtapose. The main comp is for best specimen then the pool monies are for the heaviest fish in both categories? BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted November 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Correct Billy, the idea was to try and spread the prizes around but usualy the flat fish winner takes both (flounder) with the round fish being split, if that makes sense Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Billy, were likely to be Cod/Conger fishing with some whiting mixed in Bring your Flounder gear just in case Paul J I'll call you in the Week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 come on Paul - make a real game of it and fish flounder rod and reel with a mullet trace and 6 squid in 90ft of water...................[smile] seriously the more I think about it the more sensible the split between prizes and pool comp basis seems I make no bones about it I am only there for the beer - the 48hr specimin hunt is best (fairest) comp for small boats as far as I can see - but it will be nice to see some decent fish weighed in next Sunday. Where did the decision on 'sharks' get too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted November 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 I took a straw poll from the committee and of those that responded this was the favoured option: For our open comp only Tope, Blue, porgie and thresher sharks will be banned. All others one only of each species to be weighed in Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 but not the place to take further. Thanks for taking the issue forwards at all given the tight timescales and difficulties - look forward to appropriate discussions in due course.

boybilly Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Whats happening Sunday Mark? Times and place please mate. Paul J sent a post to say what we might be doing so I am all set tackle wise. Regards, BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 In Order that we release fish that aren't going to win as quickly as possible. I suggest that we let everyone know by VHF the size of fish were holding on to. That way we won't have too many 40lb congers weighed in when theres a 60lb fish been caught. What do others think?

Maverick Martin Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Your confident then Paul Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I'll keep a 40 lber against boat based claims given recent radio chat but seriously I couldn't agree more. It's not about winning anyway.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Good idea Paul but how do you hold onto a 60 lb Conger - I don't think Helen would let it anywhere near the boat ( wishful thinking on my part ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
