great white Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Well done Sam I know how much effort you have put in over the past two summers to get more juniors involved. Super day yesterday and great prize-giving BBQ The Club has 24 listed, to get 21 taking part is great. Well done all of the juniors that joined in, the Club for fully backing this and of course all of the adult Members that sponsored the event, took the kids out on their boats or came along to the prize giving. A lot of really good fish were caught this year, after such success no doubt the juniors will be keen to take part again in 2016.Some may get too old to take part, but there were a few younger ones around yesterday that may fill the gaps. lastly thanks to the Ladies that let their children join in and got involved ashore.

Bobby Buoy Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks to Sam for organising....It was our first comp together and me and my son Chris really enjoyed it. Thanks to Martin and family for letting us join them on Madness, good skippering and what a boat!!. Chris must have enjoyed it because he's offering to do household chores today in exchange for fishing tackle!that's never happened before! Good to meet a few more members at the bbq.

Sam Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hi Adam most of them should be on here. I have some to add from Greg and don't have Jacks Conger.

Greg Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yes Well Done Sam Another great competition. It certainly takes a lot of effort and it is a proven success seeing such a great attendance. It is very well appreciated Sam and Brad has already asked if he could enter again next year. Also, well done to Chris, Kev and Nigel for their hard work at the BBQ and also the wives for doing the shopping. I have tried uploading photos but had little success and I have passed them onto Sam for uploading. I choose the photo files from the Choose the files function, press the button and then they fly off into Cyber space. (someone has got them somewhere I am sure!!) Hopefully Sam will have more success than me.

Greg Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Courtesy of Oli I can now put together our report on Brad's achievements on the Sunday Junior Comp. Brad caught 3 number dogfish, one Spotted Ray (4lb) , One small Undulate Ray and 5 Small Eyed Rays ranging from 5lb 7oz to 11lb 8oz. As we had fished this mark many times previously Brad's tac tic was to try for a specimen Undulate Ray. Previously, we had caught many Undulates on this mark but for some reason Small Eyed Rays were dominating the action. We went out on the Saturday to catch Macys for bait. Good job we did because fishing for three hours we managed only 7 for the whole three hours. Luckily, I had had some frozen when we were fishing at the Air Festival. The ebb tide provided Brad with non stop action from 09.30 to 12.26. Being a slight lad he was struggling bring the Small Eyes in as they Tanked off once they knew they were hooked. It was great experience for Brad as Brad learned not to be too hasty when he saw the rod tip moving. He did drop a very large ray when he decided to reel in too early. ( I was in the toilet at the time) Sometimes kids just have to learn the hard way!! There was a lull in action as the flood took charge. The action then picked up again at 2.35PM and another Small Eyed Ray was landed. However, it was time to pack up for the mad dash for the 3.30PM Bridge (hotly pursued by Madness) The weather on the day was perfect and it was great to see the surrounding Junior boats all having action. It was certainly the perfect fishing day and Brad did not want it to end. niggle, rich185 and Kingfisher 126 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Sam Apparently Oli has informed me that the resolution on the camera I use is too high. I use the Panasonic Lumnix Camera which takes great photos but obviously the resolution is too high for uploading. Hence why you are unable to upload the photos I sent you. It's a pity because there were some good ones I took of Alfresco and Kingfisher in action. If I can not alter the resolution on the camera in the future I will use the mobile phone for taking pictures. I am sure I can upload those.
