I was just checking specimen sizes for the 48hr comp from our club records list(from the link on the site) and they seem to "clash " with present NFSA specimen size's. Are they up to date Charlie? the main one that caught my eye was the Bull Huss in our record list it says 10lb is 100% when on the NFSA list, it says For Dorset its 13lbs and for the IOW its 12lb there's quite a bit of difference!

oi - don't bugger up my plans Jim................. 
more seriously - well spotted; I will assume we are fishing to the published pbsbac specimen sizes unless told otherwise before the start of the comp tomorrow.
The NFSA specimen size list that I refer to in the 48hr post appears to be the latest one.

It has the Bull Huss at 13lb.
This is the list we are using in the Competition Calculator.
Our area is Area D.

Interesting.
Some of the specimen weights in the club records were changed in Dec 2002 for some reason. I was planning on using the club record list as well, so glad this has been brought up ( not that I will be winning anything ).
Presume there must have been a good reason for changing some of the weights in Dec 2002.
PS: Glad its not winter as the Whiting specimen size for Area D is 35 lb 
have to laugh - Turbot 19lb Dorset - 10lb CIs!
and other such 'anomalies'!
The reason specime weights changed was that the NFSA updated there list and as we use their specimen sizes we updated ours (I think 
)
Martin
so it's the specimen list as per the current record list then?
ie huss would be 10lb..............
Personally I blame James and Adam, catching all those big fish thus pushing up the specimen weighs..... 
Dont blame Adam its all my fault!
who gives a toss if its big, its big end of story
Dont blame Adam its all my fault!
Why can't you be like the rest of us contend with catching medium to small fish?! 
Where can we get the definitive lastest NFSA Specimen size list????
I can't find it anywhere on the NFSA web site. 
I'm assuming the one on the Sea Angler web page is the latest, but...is it?
That's the one we will be using for the results calculator, and its too late to change it now. So, we will be fishing with the one with Bull Huss at 13lb at the link in the earlier post.
Whiting is 3.5lb.
cheers

Personally I think we should be fishing using the correct specimen weights as opposed to some dodgy Sea Angler list - especially as I was intending on targeting Bull Huss !!
Surely it is only a spreadsheet Bob ?
The NFSA list matches our records list rather well.
Our november open and all other specimen sizes are based on the NFSA (wessex region) specimen list. I think there was a link on our site or was it on our old site?
