Maverick Martin Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 This years WSF meet at Weymouth is from the 5th June to the 11th inclusive Are any other club members planning on attending? Dean and I are hoping to be there again but maybe not for the full week. Perhaps a long weekend or so. Last years was an excellent affair but would of course be much better with more familiar faces.

great white Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi Martin We hope to join in again for a long weekend at least. It depends if it clashes with the Clubs 48 hr comp and what crew are available. It was good last year even though we only stayed the one night.

TomBettle Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I may take a trip down there for a couple of days, but not sure I can be bothered with WSF as it has gone down hill so much since they decided to turn it into a Nazi training camp for their moderators. I'd far rather a PBSBAC Weymouth meet. Something along the lines of our Alderney trips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we could talk at a club meeting about sorting out a trip for the club. This would of course suit even small boats as they can trail down so almost all club members could be included Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great fishing inshore and offshore. Predominantly (well... half) still in club waters so any records may well count. Great range of species from leviathans with big teeth to incredible mini species. I'd be well up for a Summer meet down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Sounds good to me too. Never made that trip and definitely want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Tom Do you still have contacts down there to get a concession on berthing costs as per the WSF meet? If we mad it a PBSBAC meet over a weekend then I would be surprised if a few of the girls would not join us for the social side [if we want them too ] I am sure wendy would be up for that, if others were coming. They could drive down , cook the tea, buy the beer , sleep onboard, cook breakfast then drive home when we go fishing But hey what would Will do??? and I am far to big a wimp to suggest that to Wendy Sorry Will could not resist, perhaps we should get you more busy, then you would not get all the big fish like you did last year Charlie Edited January 7, 2010 by great white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I got fed up with WSF so dont use it anymore. Would be interested in a PBSBAC trip - also like the idea the trailer boats can come down too. Someone needs to take charge, organise a date and organise the berthing if possible? I'd suggest either Spring for the flatties or later in the year (July/Aug) for almost anything.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest either Spring for the flatties or later in the year (July/Aug) for almost anything.... Probably later in the year Adam. The flattie fishing (Turbot) is often better out of Weymouth later in the Summer and the Plaice are still there if you look "off" the bank. Later on you have a much larger range of species all within reach of the small boats. From Shark, Conger and Cod to Bass, Bream, Plaice etc. Not sure about concessions, I don't think WSF really get much of one, but I am sure I could chat with Mary and Claire at the harbour office to see if we can get a deal. Alternatively, maybe we could base out of the new Portland Marina, but that would limit the evening activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 good idea all round it's a good overnight or long weekend venue and, as suggested, smaller boats could trail if they want to. I can't imagine mixing women and fishing though... , but then again I've never had the balls to approach it in the way Charlie has outlined...

Maverick Martin Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I can't imagine mixing women and fishing though... , but then again I've never had the balls to approach it in the way Charlie has outlined... Actually it was suggested to Veronica, Wendy and Lorraine (Tony D's other half) last year and they were up for coming down one night and shopping the next day whilst the boys go play fishing games but times and weather never quite added up Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wight Magic Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I would be interested but it would depend on dates ? But for me it would have to be just the weekend Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Would there be a location for trailered boast to be stored overnight should we stay over? Any ideas \ experience of this? Maybe we could hire a static caravan for a few nights etc, the possibilities are endless! Thanks Rob Edited January 7, 2010 by Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 If its Portland accomadation for the trailers may be easy, although the launch fees are a bit steep. and all of the other Dean and Reddyhof marina's have good pubs close to hand, two of them are owned by the marina's, so I expect something will be available. If we decided to go there for the weekend I would be happy to see what I can do ref prices. You are right Paul, Wendy does not look on here But as Martin said Wendy, Lorraine and Veronica were up for coming for a social. I think once the comp dates are known, I would be happy to try and set this up to avoid clashing with them. Travel and Fish Sat, arrive tea time Social Sat night, girls arrive if they want too, [maybe BBQ or other idea] Girls depart after breakfast [early] long fish on way home. would June/eary July be good for fishing Tom? Shytalk Can I have an indication of which boats/members would be interested. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I like the idea of a trailaway /camp site stay for the smaller boats It would need to be July for me though PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Reuben will be still a little small, so Rach and him wont come - I'll go, but it will be a weekend trip only, maybe running down Fri eve and back Sun at the max. I'm keen though. Dont mind staying in the new marina in Portland - it'll be like Alderney all over again - it's nearly an island and the locals are similar! I'll go with whatever.

mike02380 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 i would def be interested in trailing r2d2 down and camping over a weekend, a turbot is one of my targets to catch, i have had a small one off a charter but would like a biggie off my own boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherman1055 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Loraine and I are still keen for a weekend at Weymouth with the girls shoping and the boys fishing during the day need goodish weather will have long weekends available to go from April 2010 best wishes Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codpiece Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I would like to trail ''ellen'' down there, If it is a weekend when Trev is off I might be able to persuade him to come. derek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Keep the names coming guys and I will start to look into the oportunities and costs are we thinking Portland marina, Weymouth marina or Weymouth Quay Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 are we thinking Portland marina, Weymouth marina or Weymouth Quay Charlie I don't mind any location. Might be a bit of a walk from Weymouth Marina to the nearest pub (Deans main concern) Town quay you fall out of the boat into the pub, that's a plus but I know nothing about Portland Harbour and the facilities available there. Your call Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
