March Comp.2017

Well at last we got a comp of sorts last weekend. The weather has been terrible but let up a little for Sunday and 11 boats set to sea. The beaches were no good and only 8 guys went fishing with most, if not all fishing up at Red Rock.
There were a few nice fish caught and the pics can be viewed on our Flickr page.
Last month's comp was a washout with no Deep Sea due to strong wind warnings and the B&R wasn't much eith with only 4 little fish being caught.
Hopefully next comp will be a bit better.
We didn't hold the monthly meeting as there wasn't any business to discuss as things are running smoothly.
The Padstow guys are due for a visit in the middle of May. please keep that in mind.
