Hi keith,

Just to let you know Peter and are definately ok for Saturday, look forward to finally getting out. Good luck to everyone fishing Saturday.
Cheers
Richie

well boys its ON good luck to all for tomorrow,dont be late and dont forget your bait..............

Richie,,nice one will see you and Pete tomorrow,,,,hope robbo stuffs you!

robbo buy a warrior 150? pauline wont let him go fishing for more than 4 days so how can he buy a boat?

Robbo asked me if i fancied the trip but family and lack of quality bait had to pass,
am ok for summer though

mark the robbo tht we are talking about is andy robbo who works with us,,,not dave the secretary of the club.

Hi Keith, just to let you know we will be there to fish saturday,see you there. Tim & Martin

you all had me wondering who i was then, i would not have a 150 thrown at me, dave (robbo the original)

sorry chaps too many dave robbos.
tight lines today chaps

Well we finally got out,weather was cold and a stiff breeze....7 boats from the club fished although only 3 were in the water for 8am start fishing was extremely slow all day,the wind picked up a bit around noon and the rocks was a bit lumpy to say the least...out of 7 boats fishing, only 5 codling and 2 whiting were weighed in. there were plenty of other boats out and at least 6 charter boats spread around the river.... the results for today are;
1st Josam 1 codling for 5lb..2nd Sea Raider 1 codling and 2 (dubious )whiting for 4lb 9oz..3rd Hunter 2 with 1 codling of 4lb 6oz..4th Invader 1 codling of 4lb 2oz..5th Lol Marie 1 codling 2lb....simply white and lee jay failed to weigh in....(we did catch but not in size.)

Results so far after round 5 are as follows; 1st Sea Raider 33points
2nd Josam 24 points
joint 3rd Simply White & Hunter 2 on 10 points
5th Invader on 9 points
6th Lol Marie on 8 points.
Many thanks to all who took part. Not a great days fishing but nice to see so many boats attending

nice to see the small boat section increasing in numbers,our captain has tried his best to get things moving,hard day but enjoyed it.i am going to bed now as im f***ed hard work pulling cod in all day

went to NEC show today and nearly cum in my waders had a good look around the warriors but at £21.000 i had to leave it there, but loads of great equipment and a lovely day out .

steve bates cod which was just the biggest on the day

some of the boats launching at new brighton

Thanks to Keith, for the match on Saturday. Sundays weather was just as bad if not worse. Good to see a new boat on the sea with us.Loll Marie, they caught as well. Photos on the web all ready great. As you said Keith on the rocks was a little lumpy, but fish-able, that's were i caught a small Thorny. P.S. its on camera, no doubt my mate will port it for me, again thanks Keith. Tim

thanks to dave and tim for the mention, but its you boat lads who make the section a good one..only by attending the matches and pleasure bashes does it make my job worthwhile!!!! nice to see so many boats attending a match,,although we (simply white) didnt weigh in it was worth going just to see all of us actually out fishing.....full marks to Josam who yet again pulled in the result and a special mention to Lol Marie who beat Simply White on their first club match....glad your new engine was a hit with both Pete & Ritchie...
Dont know what to do for the March match with there being so few fish about... Any suggestions? I am open to any alterations provided it is agreed to by all boats concerned....

Maybe we could look to fish an away match.
Do you think there would be enough interest from the lads?
Steve

Slight correct - Josam had two Codling to 5lb not one.

Keith how are the points worked out?
I thought we'd only fished 3 matches so far - first one we (Josam) didn't fish but the other two we've won.

Martin,,,,points awarded as follows; 1st 12points.2nd 11 points 3rd 10 points etc etc.
3 mtaches fished,you won 2 so have 24 points ....However,,,Sea Raider has fished THREE matches,won the 1st so 12 points,3rd on the second so 10 points, then 2nd on the third so 11 points...Totalling 33 points.....Sea Raider is the only boat to have fished 3 matches,,,thats why they are in the lead! Trust this expalins it ok.......

Yes that's fine Keith I didn't realise there was only one point difference between positions.
Can't remember why we couldn't fish the first match now, maybe Tim was working away - but it doesn't matter.
So even if we don't turn up the for the next match we're still Runners-up and we're the only ones who can catch Sea Raider providing they don't turn up or blank... not very likely...
...they're in an even stronger position than Man Utd!

- Don't the winners have to buy everyone a pint anyway??

Results so far after round 5 are as follows;
1st Sea Raider 33points
2nd Josam 24 points
joint 3rd Simply White & Hunter 2 on 10 points
5th Invader on 9 points
6th Lol Marie on 8 points.

Cheers
Martin

Congratulations to all who fished the latest winter league match, its good to read that more boats are getting out and to Richie + Pete on their first comp in the club unfortunately I missed out due to oversea work commitments big thanks to Andy Robbo for filling in and crewing for Keith, unfortunatley they were unable to bring that big fish to the weigh in
looking forward to the last match of the winter league (weather permitting)

Well done to Sea Raider + Josam which boat takes the title we will wait and see
