booking in
Just to confirm that, barring unforseen extreme circumstances, Dave and I will be fishing the rescheduled Flatfish and Ray comp on Sunday 14th Oct from Phaeton.
The exact 7 hour period we eventually fish will be dictated by the wind ( 
v light breeze honest guv) direction - but will of course be between 0600h (yea right - no chance if England beat France............. 
) and 1800h with the last 7 hours over the ebb and an Easterly looking favorite right now........not least because it will give me a few inches of water under the props on the way out in the morning!
Any lucky catches will be reported soonest as usual
Good luck all - looking like loads of options from the recent reports
chancer will be fishing the comp with zed as crew
what are the rules.

Unfortunately, I am going to be unable to fish the competition on Sunday and not sure yet if I will be available on my mobile to collect the results. ( I will try to ensure that someone is at home if you wish to call my home number with catch reports )
Alternatively, if you could PM your catches to me then I will arrange for the results to be collated as soon as I can.
cheers Paul

Right - here is the forecast:
Selsey Bill to Lyme Regis
Inshore waters forecast
24 hour forecast: 1200 Fri 12 Oct 1200 Sat 13 Oct
Wind Variable becoming southeast 2 or 3, occasionally 4 later.
Sea state Slight.
Weather Fog patches and occasional drizzle later.
Visibility Moderate or good, occasionally poor or very poor.
Outlook: 0600 Sat 13 Oct 0600 Sun 14 Oct
Wind Variable 3 or less becoming southeast 3 or 4.
Sea state Slight.
Weather Mainly fair.
Visibility Moderate or good.
Checking the Atlantic Chart, there's a weak occluded, slow moving front right over us on Sunday, and slack isobars, suggesting grey/overcast/drizzly at times with high humidity, with possible early morning fog.
Nothing dangerous - but SE4 does kick it up a bit off Poole, and it might be uncomfortable any distance out.
The comp is ON, and as this hasn't changed much for the last couple of days, I do not anticipate changing this tomorrow. As usual, it's up to each skipper to decide on the day!
Good luck all!
Mike
Safety Officer
Overdraft will be out with Aaron (jr) as crew .
The Forecast has changed for Sunday. Still ON, at this stage, but could all skippers check carefully before the comp, and make their own judgements:

Visibility Moderate or good, occasionally poor at first and very poor later.
Outlook: 0600 Sun 14 Oct 0600 Mon 15 Oct

Just got back from Padstow, Team Fugazi checking in for tomorrow's comp.
Gordon H
Sheila Marie and crew checked in with me via VHF this morning.
Mike

1st Alun Jones Undulate Ray 15lb 8oz 110.71 %
2nd Rob Francis Small Eyed Ray 10lb 2oz 92.05%
3rd Duncan Mackie Undulate Ray 11lb 13oz 84.38 %

Paul - isn't the plaice 1st flatfish rather than 6th Ray?
