Who's Fishing?

Mark B and I will be out, Ive got a lure only comp on the following monday, which I won last year, so will probably fish lures only as a warm up for that.

Rich

ill be chasing the silvers

presumably the more people out fishing registerred for the competition the better? I take it it's one of the BFM rounds?

Will be out with Gordon from Christchurch. Want to get back for the footie though, so will be looking to nab 10 species or so as quickly as possible

Frisky will be out with the usual crew, fishing some usual and less usual marks.

Will have to change plans to avoid catching poor cod and black goby, cos they weren't allowed last time.

10 species is the target then Paul? Bagging up with 4 of each too?

Based on last week's effort, 10 different sizes of pout seems more likely for us.

Mike, Carol and George

I am on holiday in France for 2 weeks from Saturday so good luck to all who go out.

Got to get up early to catch the ferry from ............................. Poole!

Coddy

Have a good holiday coddy we'll wave at you from Poole afloat

I've hurt my back and can hadly move !!

Can't see me launching for a few weeks.

Will I go MAD !!

Alun.

Sorry, im working...I wouldnt of got any points anyway, haha...

Well I make that 9 booked in so far and we need at least 10

if anyone is out and were not going to register please do so to ensure we meet the minimum numbers

I find it hard to believe the club has grown so much and we struggle to get 10 anglers on a competition day

according to recent reports the fishing is good, the weather is great and the flexible times mean you can start early enough to watch the football in the afternoon.

So who has a theory as to why so few are entering?

Answers on a postcard please

Charlie

I also find it frustrating Charlie - and having discussed it with James today,he also feels the same.

We have less entering now than when I joined and the club is 30% bigger

One idea we had, and may need discussing at the next comittee meeting is to mix the format between species and specimen on the monthly comps. I personally felt a little frustrated fishing the comp today for small but numbers of fish, when the conditions were perfect for big fish hunting - just an idea.

Adam

Although, in my case, this is not the reason today - I got let down with crew at the last minute, I think you may have something there, Adam. For those of us who travel, not many but keen as mustard, we need to weigh the travel time and expense of our day against the expected catch. If, as is the case at present, there is the possibility of a good day on bass, I am sure quite a few would forego the competition for a concentrated day targetting this, or other, species. Anyway, as you say, a topic for consideration at some later stage.

How does the BFM comp work? If it's purely on the species hunt format, then there's very little scoop to change.

The only possiblility is having a 'comp' on certain sunday and it's upto individual which one they want to enter, be it species or specimen. By all mean do both, but then they are limited in their time as to whether they would do well, in both, either or neither .....

The BFM comp is run how we want it to run ie any club comp is ok. The only thing that matters is the results ie 1st 2nd 3rd etc. BFM then award points for each clubs winners and runners up with scores being cumulative through the comp
