Popular Post mike farrants Posted July 29 Popular Post Share Posted July 29 (edited) Boat comp time again - i'm a serious match angler so no time for photos lol 🤣 (read: not many photo worthy fish) Max 106 points for 10 fish of each species (30, 15, 15, 40 then 1 point each for the next 6), there's also prizes for the most fish, most species and the nominated fish of the day measured on length - todays fish was Red gurnard - and as no one had won the nominated species last 2x times it was a double roll over - £180!!! Comp started at 9am and we hit the small stuff first to bag a few early points - Wrasse, pout, pollock and unclassified (other small species), Tims son drove the Boat as his target was the nominated species. I had 4 pout, 2 wrasse, Tim had his 10 pout, 10 wrasse, 4 unclassified and 4 Pollock i was on 145, Tim was off to a flyer on 412 after 2 hours. we moved off to the mixed ground mark - leaving us about 4 hours for other fish - Tim's son dropped down first and would you believe it - must have put his bait right on the nose of a red gurnard - measuring 30cm - at least he had a chance of a prize. Tim then bagged up = bream, congers, Dogs, thornies, more pout. His son also had dogs, eels and lost a 20lb tope at the boat! i had a slow day - well out of contention with just 3x bream, 2x dogs and 4x congers, we got to the club house to be me with someone with a large red gurnard - so our only hope was Tims count or the raffle! Tim didn't win most points but did win most species! A lovely day out - flat calm and sunny all day!
