What do the other skippers think
Shall we fish what we used to call Commodores rules, ie pick an area on the day subject to the weather and fish within a set distance of each other.
Or just fish where you want and keep in touch on the VHF
It may also be good to get the boats close together at some stage for photos and so the kids can see each other

I don't mind fishing "Commodores Rules"', my only concern is that all the other boats are a fair bit bigger than MegaByte.
My thoughts. (we are only fishing the second date due to being on holiday the first date)
I think it would be a great thing for the kids to fish close together as long as the weather conditions are OK. Unfortunately, my son is nervous of chop and large swell. I think it would make sense not to be too far out because of the restricted fishing time.
Also, we (Marlin) would have to get the 08.30 twin bridges which means we won't be able to get out to the bay until around 09.30. We will then meet up with the rest of the boats if that's what's to be. There is no way we could get the 07.30 bridges as that would mean we would have to get my son up at 06.00. He would be good for nothing by 10.00!! I would also like him to be awake for the BBQ!!
We are happy to fish any rules.
Greg.
Well done Sam
All coming together nicely, Jacob will be up for any of it he's hoping to go wrecking
Well done Sam. I am really pleased to see the club getting behind this comp
One thought, perhaps the baseball caps could be colour coded ie. light blue for boys and pink for girls, no reason other than juniors may be more inclined to wear appropriately coloured attire
\ok noted
Well done Sam.
My grand children can't fish it because they're not here on the dates of the comps.
I can't fish it cos all the kids would beat me. <img src="/emoticons/default_biggrin.png" alt=":D" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Let's hope our famous British weather doesn't ruin it. <img src="/emoticons/default_wink.png" alt=";)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I like the idea of commodore rules (never knew it was called that)
Kev you can tell Jacob he is not the only one who hasn't been wreck fishing this year, my side winders are collecting dust.
If there is anymore juniors out there, would be great to get some more.
Cheers
Sam
Hi Guys,
getting close to the date now and I hope everyone is looking forward to the first one on sunday.
as it stands I have a 11 juniors on the list, if there is anymore out there, they are more than welcome.
I will keep a close eye on the weather through the week and hope to make an easy decision on Thursday.
we will be fishing commodore rules as I think this is a nice way of keeping all the kids together, also it will probably make it nice and competitive. once the weather has been confirmed, I can then decide the best place for the boats to head.
unfortunately after a great weekend in france, alfresco is now out of action, some horrible noises coming from the leg whilst turning, so alfresco will now be coming out the water for further investigation.
dave has very kindly offered the use of reel magic for the day, thanks dave. so everyone who was due to fish on alfresco in the first comp will now be on reel magic.
this now makes reel magic the lead boat for commodore rules,
any problems please don't hesitate to ask and hopefully the weather will be in our favour
cheers

Hi Sam
When deciding where we're fishing, please bear in mind that MegaByte is only 16.5 ft.
Hi Brian. Yeah don't worry that has all been taken into consideration and also the age of some of the kids. Safety will be the biggest priority on the day.
Sam
I thought you'd have it covered.
Hi guys.
Weather looks good for Sunday. So competition is on.
Fishing 9 till 1, one rod max 3 hooks.
All fish and photos to be put on this post
and will work it out from there.
Fishing area will be swanage bay. Plenty of variety. And should hopefully be nice and calm.
The more fish and photos we can get the better
See you on the water.
Sam
Good luck everyone
Neal
Grandchildren are looking forward to it. I'm hoping they'll up my species count.
Watching with interest - good luck to all involved.
