Coddy Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I don't want to be picky but which list of specimen sizes do we use? The reason I ask is that I have just looked up which area Poole falls in and it would appear Area 'D' South Devon and Dorset However if members depart from Christchurch or towards IOW it falls into Area'E' Hampshire and IOW. The NFSA rules state 5. LIMIT OF WATERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Coddy We are a Poole Based club and so fall as you say area D. For all club records and comps this is the specimen sizes we use wherever you launch from. If you however enter a fish for an nfsa award the area used by them would be the port you departed from Glad you brought this up as it might save some debate later Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Thanks Martin You read that one before I did, another job saved. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Ah well the Porbeagle specimen weight is the same in both so that's alright then.............. Just leaves the small issue of how to weigh one With regard to 'which specimen weights I keep a copy of this page, the club records on board as it helps me understand the opportunities. with a combination of the weather (as forecast) number of boats and fired up crews I don't somehow think 102% is going to do it this year! Hope everyone has a great time whatever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Charlie Sorry to pre-empt you but I can't help myself Might be an idea for the benefit of those that havent access to the forum to clarify the point at this weeks meeting Duncan Just leaves the small issue of how to weigh one Have you forgot something......you have to catch one first Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just leaves the small issue of how to weigh one Hi Duncan I have the shark sling if you can catch the shark!

Adam F Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Coddy, I would really like a shark sling - do you have one for sale, or just to look at? The last tope I had (35lb) ate my sling and spat it out! I have weighed carp to 57lb in it, but it made mince meat of it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Thanks for the offer Coddy but I can't make the meeting I am afraid. I was wondering if the club would accept measurements and a photo were one to get one of these beauties! The sun comes out and every plan is a possibility..........

Hi Adam I only have one to look at Here is the web page I got mine from Shark Sling I have the large version (in the hope of something big! ) I will bring it down Thursday if you wish, I seem to have a few things to bring down this month.

great white Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Duncan I am afraid that My experiance of measurements and calculation formula to give wieght of tope was not good. I carefully took the measurement of a fish that bottomed my [40lb max] scales, to find that the formula gave the weight as 34lb. The club insists that a fish is weighed, not measured or calculated/estimated I carry an old mail sack and scales to 110lb should a big one arrive. I have a stainless eye bolted to the back end of the cabin roof to help hold the scales. if it bottoms those scales it would go back, after photo's of it with a very happy angler.
