great white Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Nice to see a good selection of Members able and willing to fish Including some of the Bass "Experts" I am afraid that we can not join you But we wish you all tight lines and some trophy fish Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Just for clarity - is there a minimum weight or length - or does it just have to be a bass to be in with a chance of points? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIMBOB Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Good luck for sunday Chaps, this would have been a good one to fish gutted As long as those matches are on sundays,I dont think I'll ever be able to fish one again!!!!! Also I better rejoin the club first At least Ive got a pc back now so i can keep an eye on whats been caught. That looks like not much this year due to that weather looks like I took a good year to do the family thing James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 James You are being missed mate and it will be good when the kids grow a bit and you can get afloat more. I am sure when the new boat is finally finished I will be able to get you out after the congers Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBettle Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I know we have the one hook rule, but does a standard treble hook count as one hook or three? How about using a standard plug that may even have two trebles? The angler hasn't chosen extra hooks, but the lure has them as standard... If the weather isn't great for heading offshore (current plan one seems unlikely with current forecasts) then I can see my trying to grab an hour or two in the haven with the trusty Dexter Wedge or trolling.... ...I'll need the misses to come along so I can make my crew quota of 2 on the boat though.

Maverick Martin Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Just for clarity - is there a minimum weight or length - or does it just have to be a bass to be in with a chance of points? Thanks, Mike Mike you can weigh in what ever you want ie no elligible minimum size but you must still return all undersize fish as it is illegal to retain fish beneath that. Same rules as apply to all our other species comps really. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom We operate a 2 hook rule in our comps. You can either fish two hooks on one rod or 1 hook on each of 2 rods. No other rods must be employed for the duration of the comp. A pennel rig counts as 1 hook but both hooks of the rig must be in the same bait, similarly treble hooks count as 1 hook although I would ask Charlie to clarify wether two trebles in a lure would count as 1 or 2 hooks For future ref the rules can be found on our 2007 comp dates sheet which is accessible on our home page or here Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I might also like to add.......this is a catch and release comp......so no bass that is euthanased will be elligable for weighing in. Keep some sport for tomorrow!!! Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep some sport for tomorrow!!! Rich Rich To be elligible for the BASS sponsored part of the comp it is indeed catch and release but for the club part of the comp (and BFM) it is to our normal rules ie if its over the minimum size you may keep or release.

Paul D Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Also, try to remember to keep some scales from the fish you catch. Wedger and Rich are reading scales ( I think ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) All, In consultation with Adam, and having reviewed the following: Inshore Forecast: Selsey Bill to Lyme Regis Inshore waters forecast 24 hour forecast: 1800 Fri 13 Jul 1800 Sat 14 Jul Wind South veering southwest 3 or 4, occasionally 5. Sea state Moderate or rough. Weather Occasional rain. Visibility Moderate or good, occasionally poor. Outlook: 1800 Sat 14 Jul 1800 Sun 15 Jul Wind Southwest backing east 3 or 4, occasionally 5. Sea state Moderate. Weather Occasional rain, fog patches. Visibility Moderate or good, occasionally very poor. and: http://www.meteonet.nl/aktueel/brackall.htm Which currently shows a potentially thundery, and probably wet warm front crossing the English Channel on Sunday. Isobars seem fairly well spaced apart, suggesting strong winds are unlikely. Personally, I'm not fond of long periods of rain, an Easterly 4 or 5, fog, nor possible thunderstorms with carbon fibre rods, but is it dangerous? Probably not, if you're careful. The comp remains ON at this stage. Should the forecast wind strength increase during Saturday, making this dangerous for small boats, then watch this space. If no further posts on here, then assume it remains on. I would advise all fishing to keep a careful eye on the weather if they decide to fish. This information is only a forecast - and conditions might deteriorate on the day quite quickly if out at sea, and each skipper should use their own judgement.
