Well done Steve, smile says it all👍

Annual Flounder Competition 15th December The usual rules and conditions apply to the competition, and this year Andy from Poole Sea Angling has an open flounder comp on the same day. This like the Cod competition means members can fish both competitions, signing in at PSA as per the picture. Reminder to follow nearer the time.

Cod competition results. PBSBAC club results 1st Steve Scott 11lbs Cod 2nd Andy Garrett 10lbs Cod Poole Sea Angling Centre Competition results 1st Pete Richardson Codling 5lbs 15oz non club member 2nd Colin Whitehead (whiting) 2lbs 13.5oz 31 entries 11 private boats 1 charter boat Well done Colin, lovely Whiting. PSA second Cod Competition has been cancelled, Andy is running a Flounder Competition in conjunction with ours in December details to follow. A wonderful day to be at sea, congratulations to all who took part especially the winners. Many great stories including a club boat landing a 150lbs guesstimate Porbeagle. Hopefully the full story of this will follow.

The weather window was too good to miss. Two friends both fishermen but more trout than sea, had moaned that I hadn’t invited them. The tides did NOT do what they were supposed to, first mark produced some various and a 18lbs 2oz Blonde which a small underrated game keeper struggled to land on his Carp gear🤣🤣🥴🥴. We moved to another bank which produced a few Whiting, I spoke with Alun who had found a few fish and very generously gave us a few Rag, unfortunately the spotties had gone off the feed. We had a few more Whiting and a Thornback around 8lbs, after a couple more moves it was time to get the 4.30 bridge lift. Fun dry day, few fish, but none of the target species. Feel sure they will appear on Sunday. Great turnout for the Cod comp, well done everyone getting out there.👍👍👍

Happy belated Terry, hope dinner was good😜

Were you on hourly rate or a job price Lofty, looks like a lot of reading🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Two Codling in the harbour, few in double figures off Chesil, got to be in it to win it😜😜

Weather forecast excellent, a hopeful trip looking for a Cod. Myself, Dave,Norman and Chris as a mediator left for the 9.30 bridge. Weather forecast being correct we soon got out to our first mark. First drop I had a double header of Rays which was a first, Dave followed with an Undulate and Norman kept his end up with a doggy! Sorry about the hose incident Chris and Norman, you both needed a wash anyway😜🙈. A few more bits and pieces before Norman hit the jackpot with a Smalleyed Ray, new species. With slack water we moved offshore and found an interesting feature that was “sure “ to hold Cod🤔. We had Congers, Pout, Black Bream, Doggies action from the start. After an hour a huge splash 50m away, right next to the boat and a Thesher was on the hunt. After putting out a whole Mackerel with no response from the Thresher, the fishing had stopped like a light switch so a move required. Another bank found and because we hadn’t had a bite in 5 minutes the skipper obviously had no idea. Norman peaked with a double header of Spotted Ray and a Brill for tea, a few more Bream caught, we let Dave catch the better ones for some tea, even if he did drop the best one back in🤣🤣🤣 Back In for the 4.30 lift in beautiful conditions, seeing Marichelle by the Old town bridge. It was a stunning day and the banter was really excellent, thanks for all your crewing boys and let’s hope the Cod join us next time.

I have been using Majorcraft for lure work and have to say they are excellent. Not cheap but also not silly. Happy hunting.

Sorry bit late! Happy birthday🥳🥳🥳🥳

With such few weather windows, a bit of rain wasn’t going to put us off chasing some flatties. After a slow start with some Red and Tub Gurnard and the odd Bream we found some Plaice. Kev joined us on Reel Busy, his fishing wardrobe hasn’t changed since August but he was happy and also supplied us with a full box of tea bags. Thanks Kev, J2 and Dave were cussing the skipper. When the tide was running we had a steady flow of Plaice, Dave outfished us with 2 triple shots and numerous doubles, the rain was continuous all day with little let up but the sea was glass like. We lost count of numbers, mostly small but enough for a couple of keepers each. Cracking day, good company and a fish for tea.

I agree with Graham, when I topped mine up last time it did cause leakage from a small “holding,header” tank for the steering fluid in the engine bay. Presumably overfilled without realising.

More drop outs I am afraid guys. Rooms are now. Ian Jones single Martin Burt/Terry Bartell Martin Grove/Hooky Jerry Shutter/Greg Toms Lets hope the remainers remain. See you at Premier Inns, Paignton South, Brixham Rd, TQ4 7AZ. Hopefully 7-7.30 for a pint and a pie.

Happy Birthday Nige, hope your having a great time 🍺🍺🍺 Jerry

We’ve had a drop out guys, anyone in the club fancy joining us last minute? Should be good fun? If no one takes this up, does anyone who is sharing fancy single rooms? If I hear nothing by tomorrow I will cancel a room.
