There will be (small) prizes for....

 

Best Round fish (hounds, bass,pout etc)

Best Flat fish (plaice, rays etc)

And an additional prize for “fish of the day”! This will be a judges decision. The judge will be decided later. 

All fish to be weighed and photographed. 

 

I am trying to sort an evening establishment for food and beverages. More details on that to follow.

Ok quick update. Seeing as it is the “round the island “ race the weekend of our meet (only just found this out), the pubs and restaurants are pretty busy. But, I have managed to book a table for 10 at “banana wharf” port Hamble. It’s an outside table for 19.45. 
fingers crossed for warm dry weather!

I would like to point out that as this whole venture will be a proving ground for both myself and my (still not finished) boat I think that we will just tag along for the ride and will not be entering for any form of competitive fishing - I don't even own any fishing gear and Neil beat me to it on buying a rod!!! Joyce and I are really looking forward to this meet, although she is becoming very apprehensive. Geoff. ☺️

Geoff no worries, fishing gear can be lent to you no problem. You can tag along and follow me or any of the other boats. I can even sort your bait for you! Just will be good to get out and have a bit of fun. If you don’t want to fish then you can just boat and explore or whatever you want!

Thanks Neil, this will be our first serious boating adventure since our trip to Fecamp back in the eighties .Lots of time on the inland waterways, but not out of site of land!!! Geoff. Thanks for the offer of the loan of some tackle, but I would worry about getting my curtains and cushions (which I don't have) dirty.Geoff.:classic_wink:

What's to be apprehensive about? Joyce is only going to be mingling with polite, well behaved and good mannered folk like yourself Geoff. Or is Joyce worried that SHE may misbehave ??

With regards to the Chinos, I still have my smart new unworn M&S jobbies that are waiting to be displayed!  All other insinuations will of course be ignored as usual.  Geoff. :classic_wink:

Anyway,enough about Me, so let’s get  back on topic. 
For those of us that don’t know the area what sort of kit are we likely to need, I will probably need to gather a few bits together so it would be handy if I know what I need to go shoplifting for in advance.

Fishing rod, reel and paracetamol.

But that’s what I don’t understand, you both accuse me of being lazy and doing nothing?

Ah, but I reckon for 2 days they will have you running around and working like a whatshisname, I almost wrote something I shouldn't right there !

So I did the honourable thing today and went to trial run banana wharf. You’ll all be pleased to know that the food is great and they sell “Brooklyn lager” on tap. 
For @JonC here is the menu…
