Thanks to Andy for running a comp alongside the club comp and the presentation venue, with food etc. Also team Fisherman’s Cafe for the food, all went down very well after quite a nippy day at times.

Stuck in my engine room trying to fit a diesel heater . Good job I’m not claustrophobic !! And lucky I only put on 5lb over Christmas, otherwise I’d still be there !! Think I put my hip out about 4 times though climbing in and out !!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A very Happy New Year to everyone, may 2020 bring you calm seas, sunshine, as many fish as you can reasonably enjoy and encouragement to follow your dreams, whatever they may be. On a personal level, I shall be striving to ensure that I can deliver a similar message again this time next year. Cheers!

Whiting for the pot was Greg's idea too, when he dropped me a line yesterday. I jumped at the chance! We made the 8.30 bridge this morning, then pushed out to the Spoil Grounds off Old Harry. Greg dropped the hook in a favoured spot, and we had a steady supply of fish from the off. The first on board was a blonde ray to tangled lines. Greg claimed only one hook was in the fish, and it was his, and who was I to argue....much. The spot produced a couple of decent whiting each, a succession of pout, and a solitary strap conger of 5-10lb to Greg. A move to the tail end of the Dolphin Sands produced more whiting, which were a mix of good keepers and smaller fish. A, few more strap conger appeared (and a couple of better ones lost), a single doggie, a small turbot, and a feisty undulate ray to me, that went 15lb 9oz (lowest steady weight). Conditions weren't bad. A light breeze, a southerly swell and light cloud, and a thoroughly enjoyable day out, back on the 4.30 bridge. Thanks again Greg!

Happy New Year to all Members of our Great club I hope that seas are flat and fish are big hard fighting beasts Tight lines one and all

Ditto to one and all. 🍾🍾 Popping out tomorrow to start the year off as the weather Is looking good then back to work Thursday. 😩😩

Adam invited myself and AJ out on JV for some fishing yesterday. It was a bit slower that we would have hoped. We moved a few times, thanks for the work out Ad! We had a handful each in the box and crept in with just enough water. Wasn't cold didn't rain, not bad. R

A good meal just finished and a family of 4 of us with full bellies of whiting just caught today. Thanks for joining me today Mike it was a steady day of catching and not even time for lunch. Your Goose soup was amazing and sustained me all day. You are very welcome any time. Cheers Greg

Happy new year all

Happy and healthy new year to all 🎊🎊🎉🎉

yes very well done Dave Jan Frank and Kev iam sure the rest of us enjoyed the day as well, thanks to all the organizers , hope more will support it next year, the banter and food afterwards made it worth attending the event! I realize flounder fishing has got to be somewhat of a challenge, indeed i believe new tactics were employed by some club boats yesterday, mainly quietly parking on the mud at the top end out the way and considering digging for the little rascals, i guess if this method was proven to be successful we would just have to consider the max size of spade rather than number of rods!

Colin wins the raffle.

Thanks for posting that Chris, and well done Dave and everyone else who braved a chilly wind I hear. Happy New year to everyone and hope 2020 is happy,healthy, and wealthy for everyone🥳🥂🥂
