Looks like there's a lot less wind than forecast here in Verwood than forecast !!!! Right pack gear and off to the boat ....
I walked my dogs about 8 and baiter was like a mirror. I think the wind is due a little later.
I don't think arrived and don't think if will Graham!!
Shame as the forecast seems to have got it wrong today.
Just seen AJ and he was heading out for the afternoon.
Rob

We went out at 9am and I would personally say the right decision was made to cancel the comp.
It was uncomfortable and too rough until 3ish for the smaller boats.
Well done on an early call to give people a chance to change their plans. Always a difficult call.
Chris
Finges crossed might have new boat ready by next week so will be able to fish cod comp ..
Hoping for better weather !
Many thanks to Allan on Fisheagle in offering me a trip out with Jan.
When I picked up Allan the wind seemed calm but by the time we loaded the car with gear the wind had started to pick up.
By the time we got to Parkstone there was a good breeze blowing.
We left around 9am due to lack of water any earlier and all headed out to the 50 50 banks. All seemed calm until we cleared the shelter of the land and then the sea swell and wind was quite noticiable. We rocked around abit until it was time to go at 2.30.
Managed t get a few fish between us
Whiting
Jumbo pout
Tub Gurnard
Bass
Spotted Ray
Dogfish

We found the kennels!
no Cod however
Thanks for the trip out Allan
I think it would have been too rough for small boats so seemed Neal & I got it right.
Dave
There was plenty of wind and waves out there today
Not that Manta Ray was going to let it spoil our day, what a great boat she is she does you proud Al.
Not sure that I would have been so comfy on Alfresco south of the island today.
Thanks for a great day mate, Sam and I really enjoyed cod fishing with you and the guys today.
2 cod from the 15 or so weighed in.
While we did not win, that was certainly not down to any lack of effort
First fish to the codmaster weighed 9lb 10oz
Well done Nigel, 9th place.
The second came to me later in the day and weighed in at 8lb 15oz
After a little assistance from Paul Dore, who was tangled with my line and did most of the winding in. I was very pleased to see this fish
Hit the net.
At the weigh it was 11th and worth a few nice pieces of terminal tackle.

My report on AA
" you got to know when to hold em, when to fold em!"
I live by that and with that in mind, I looked at the Kent forecast and knew I wouldn't get a launch.
What to do?
The pbsbac cod comp was scheduled for today so I asked if anyone wanted crew.
My friend Steve Scott offered a couple of places to Geordie Bri and myself ,and although the comp was cancelled due to a force five, many of the bigger boats, including Steves targa 31, headed out to the cod grounds by the needles. The anchor went down around 9 and we started to fish.
I had loads of jumbo pout, one huge one,and Bri was into pout and dogs.
Around 11.30 Steve caught a nice 12 + lber . I went down to the head feeling a bit queer, and after throwing up my ring ,I stayed shivering on the bunk in the aft cabin for the next five hours
Seasick Steve
At 4.30 I came up as the anchor was hauled and was made up to see Bri had a nice 8-9lber
I felt better as we were underway and glad to be on land.
I go out in lumpy seas on my yak and NEVER feel sea sick.
I guess boats , even beautiful ones like Steves, are not for me
Bri's cod
The trip out
Good call on calling off comp, we ventured out four miles at eight this morning it was great going with the wind, when we stopped you had a job to stand up.
A slow bumpy ride back to the piers for shelter,but the fishing was slow. One o'clock we went back out not to bad now the wind had eased. Fishing was dog dog and more dog, and a couple of nice whiting on slack. It was a lovely sunny day to be out shame about the wind, never mind good day had by all.
Kev
Went out with Chris & Stu on Kingfisher.
We had Doggies, Doggies, & more Doggies.
Chris had a good sized conger, Stu had a Pout and I had a Screwdriver ( yes I caught a rusty old Screwdriver ) Chris wants to know if it counts for the species comp. <img src="/emoticons/default_biggrin.png" alt=":D" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> <img src="/emoticons/default_biggrin.png" alt=":D" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />
