Jim Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 You do need at least 2 people on the boat in order to take part Pete. Your crew can be non members but for safety: At least 2 on board. Jim Graham Nash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry.shutter Posted November 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Pete, If you need crew, if you put a separate post up I would think a club member might be looking for a trip. The weather is not now looking so kind so 🤞we can get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry.shutter Posted November 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 The weather for Sunday has fluctuated for the last week. Today it’s looking ok with a Northerly 10-11mph. However in the interests of safety I think I have to leave it until Saturday morning to do a final call. We are all in the same situation so bare with me, I’ve bought bait and it’s in the freezer!!! Fingers crossed we will be able to get out and look for that elusive Cod and a few Whiting.

great white Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Thanks jerry Could you please remind us what the timings are for this competition. I will call my crew later Thanks Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Thomas Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Agree with Jerry, Saturday looking too breezy from Northerly direction. Sunday looking a little better but more than a couple of miles offshore and it will be lumpy for the smaller boats. Might be better to defer as Cod are likely to be in 70ft + of water historically on our coast. Lets see how it pans out.

jerry.shutter Posted November 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 The Cod/Whiting Comp is only on Sunday as we have a weigh in at Cobbs at 4.15. Hopefully if it goes ahead, all local Poole boats will make it to Cobbs for a beer and banter, those further a field please make sure your fish weights and photos are in by 4pm on Sunday.. If possible txt or what’s app to me 07866532766 or any other committee member. Weather decision on Saturday morning.

great white Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Thanks jerry I knew the weigh in times , but are there fishing times IE is it the usual 7 HR period, 0800 start 1500 finish? Weather permitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 I guess this comp runs along the same lines as most of our competitions Competition rules So a continuous 7 hour period prior to the finishing times would sound about right? great white 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jerry I am busy tomorrow, my input is it looks like an improving forecast 10-15mph at worse as an average, wave height 600mm, so I think it is just acceptable. I will be happy if it goes ahead. I will leave it to you to finalise. Kingfisher 126 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Nash Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Forecast is improving a little, so Graham with two non members (son Wayne and grandson Ashton) will be out there somewhere. Ive never caught a cod before (apart from while drifting over a wreck on Alfresco many years ago). Is the general opinion that anchoring or drifting is the way to fish for cod? I personally prefer anchoring (but as mentioned, have never caught a cod, maybe thats why?). Maverick Martin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hi Graham We will be at anchor for both species tomorrow in about 100 ft I am sure we will see whiting but not so confident on a winter cod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
