Poole Bay Small Boat Angling Club

[maverick of Poole]

Poole Bay Small Boat Angling Club boat- fishing open competition

 

The Annual Poole Bay Small Boat Angling Club Boat- Fishing Open Competition will held on Sunday December 2nd from Baiter Park in Poole.

 

Over the years this has grown and been developed to become one of the biggest and best supported annual events that the south coast has to offer the Recreational Sea Angler. It is an event that brings the whole angling community together and is open to private and charter boats.

 

This is a specimen competition which is judged on the best % weight based on the NFSA specimen weight list. It is split into two categories which are best flatfish and best round-fish. This means there is just as much chance of winning with a good flounder from Poole harbour as there is with a big cod from deeper water. This also means it can be fished in most weather conditions and it is suitable for most boats.

 

This year’s competition, as always, focuses on "Best Specimen Fish," helping to insure future stocks. Only fish of at least 50% of the Wessex Specimen size are allowed to the scales and only one fish of a particular species can be weighed in. Some of our more resourceful anglers manage catch and then later release at the weigh station at Baiter Park on the shore of the harbour. It is quite a spectacle seeing a 15lb Undulate Ray swim off or a 40lb Conger Eel head to a new home in the harbour.

 

This year’s competition has been tremendously well supported by local companies, marine electronics manufacturers, major tackle manufacturers and online stores.

Local Sponsors include:

Southern Motorboats

Salterns Marina

Parkstone Bay Marina

Bournemouth Fishing Lodge

Wessex Angling

Poole Sea Angling Centre

Weymouth Angling Centre

Indespension Trailers

Clinton Computers

Animal

Marine Electronics Manufacturers include:

Lowrance

The Poole Bay Small Boat Angling Club are known for their donations to charities and good causes over the years, such as RNLI, Tsunami appeal, Bass Restoration fund, NFSA conservation fund.

 

*This year we will also be running a charity raffle for some fantastic equipment put forward by Penn.

First class rods and reels have been supplied and all money raised from the raffle of these items at the prize giving will be donated to Myeloma UK via the appeal that local South Coast charter skipper, Spike Spears, has been so actively working on.

 

The starting point on the day will be at Baiter Park in Poole where we have arranged free parking for competitors. There will be hot bacon rolls and coffee on offer at the registration in the morning.

 

In the afternoon the weigh in is completed and the results recorded everyone meets in the warmth of the Mariner bar to grab a meal (which is provided) and discuss the days fishing.

The awards and prize giving presentation tops off a very enjoyable day.

 

The prize table is huge and with an entry fee of just £15 per angler (plus optional pools for best flat fish and best round fish) it is truly a great opportunity to get in on the action.

Baiter Park has launching and parking facilities (free on the day for competitiors courtesy of Poole Borough Council) for trailerable boats or you can keep your boat afloat at one of the local marinas.

Many of the Poole charter boats will also be taking part.

Your ride was launched on Friday and has had sea trials over the weekend with the skipper giving rave reviews. I saw it gunning through Poole Harbour at around 30 knots and she looked superb.

30 knots! Isn't that above the speed limit? I like that.

no speed limit in the harbour this time of year, I guess it's because the Birmingham navy have all but gone home

A wise decision IMHO, no point in risking life and limb, just to fish a competition, no money or trophy is worth a life or injury. And reset for another day, so we don't lose out. It's on my wall planner already.
