seagypsy Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Morning had broken to a beautiful sunny day so it was breakfast then down to the beach for 08.30 for the species hunt which was sponsored by whitewater consultancy ,they were giving away a fully kitted fishing kayak to the winner, with other prizes down to 4th place . After the short briefing by the organisers it was 10.00 when around 70 kayakers launched with rods to be out by 15.30. Paul(HB) and myself headed to the point of the bay which was on the boundary of our fishing area Within minutes of anchoring I was into this lovely little ballan Next up on the same mark was this bull huss pup I up anchored carefully as someone had drifted past trolling some feathers and got them caught on my anchor warp and proceeded to cut his line and paddle off Edited July 27, 2011 by seagypsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maver Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) As Ben said the weekend was perfect the weather was spot on just a shame I was ill for most of the weekend hence the wooden spoon to be fair I was only out for about an hour there was one who was out for most of the comp and caught nothing.Well done to Ben(Seagypsy) Paul(harnessboy) Paul(sprinter) Chris(sprinters son) they did the club proud in the team event (mind you Ben did better than 3 of the welsh lads put together ) and brought the silver home for the trophy cabinet I think the best laugh of the weekend was when the welsh boys laid out the marquee and it was pointed out to them that it bore the cross of saint george it was a classic Edited July 28, 2011 by maver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnessboy Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Not much to add to Bens report, I was given charge of Ben from his wife Claire at 0700 hrs on the morning of Thursday, her parting words were please feed him or he gets grumpy, well feed him i did, for four days, it must have been enough as he was like a big jolly bear all weekend, I handed him back to Claire on the Sunday afternoon non the worse for wear. Well, he may have had a little too much alcohol in his blood stream, but otherwise he was fine. Oh! the reason you need to talk to Ben alot is that the last thing you want is for Ben to get to sleep before anyone else on the campsite because of the noise he makes when he gets to sleep (HORrrific) and i was in the camper he was in his tent 10 yards away. Claire how do you cope???????. Anyway what a fantastic weekend we had great fun and great company, Ben got his own back on me from our trip to Poole Patch and beat me hands down, best of all we beat the Welsh lads on home ground, and to be fair they were gracious in defeat. Next up is Ladram Bay Exmouth 24th 25th 26th Aug another great place to visit and fish. Just a couple of shot of Oxwich Bay. One of the odd tents found over the weekend. Thanks to the Banner we met a few new faces from the south coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Martin please blame Ben for the photo size, he was the one who gave me the re-sizing dimensions. Paul no problem the photos fit perfectly on my screen set at 1440 by 900 but also checked at 1280 by 1024 and they still fit perfectly Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
