2015 Rutland zander fish-in

[Matthew Simmons]

I'm going to suggest Friday 9 October with a backup day of Friday 23 October - shout now if these are no good!

I'm good for both those days!

Count me in for the Ghandi too. Here's clear validation of Rusty's dietary strategy in the Telegraph today!

I had an email from Andy at the FF yesterday, he's had another jig head order come in (plus some new lures from Westin) if anyone needs supplies.

 

Soft lures and jig heads all here: http://www.thefriendlyfisherman.co.uk/section17083/pike-and-predator-tackle/lures/soft-plastics.html

Thank's for that Andrew, just orderd some of the fork tails in different sizes and colours .

AFAIK we are available any midweek date in October.

Just got back from a fortnight's fishing to learn I have some cardiological procedures to undergo in September

 

Sometimes these are postponed at short notice, and the new dates might clash.

 

In any case ability to travel and fish could be uncertain, (depending upon recovery) but would like to fish Oct 9th.

 

Could, please our boat reservation be on "hold" for the time being, and I will update you later ?

 

In the last analysis, be assured you will not be out of pocket should we cancel at short notice.

Nobody's worried about the pennies, we'd just prefer you and Norma to be fishing with us.

[Anderoo]

No problem at all - boats are reserved and can be cancelled at any time with no charge. Of course it goes without saying that I hope you can make it

[The Flying Tench]

I hope you people have carried out a risk analysis. And whatever you do, don't trail your handy pandies in the water. Zander can be quite hormonal!

Triplicate post deleted. It's becoming very difficult to post anything on AN.

Time for a bump methinks because tomorrow we’ll be into September, not long to go now. Questions which need to be answered.

1. Who’s stumped up for this season’s must have lures in the belief that the zander will turn their noses up at last year’s rubber?
2. Has JV44 bought the posh fish finder yet?
3. Should I buy loads of AAA batteries for my depth gauge in case JV44 can’t work the posh fish finder?
4. Has Anderoo solved the volts problem having bought a posh fish finder?
5. How will Tigger react to having the trophy for only one day before failing to retain his title and handing it over to me?
6. Should we book dinner in advance (this is THE most important question)?
