RESCHEDULED 1st Boat Comp to May 5th, Monkstown Cork

Tue Feb 26, 2008 11:15 am

Sounds like its time to get out my crushed glass coated braid :?

Go old school and fish wire. Or better again, get yourself a nice spool of Dacron, it will kite away in the tide and take out everyone else.... :twisted:

Closing entries on this.

i can just see it now, nine half seasick lads trying to unravel a huge braid tangle
on a rolling boat :lol: :lol:

Combat fishing, he with the sharpest scissors lives longest...... :D

i suppose the best strategy for this would be to fill the reel with loads of old or cheap
braid and cut it as soon as the tangle happens and get you hooks back down first!

It wont be as bad as that, be different if it was a boat full of beginners.

at least if we get tangled with white feathers we'll know who it is :lol:

Hi Mick, presuming a 9am leaving time, check in will be from 8-8.30. Will confirm that later but I'd take that as a guideline anyhow. Itching to get out myself, I'm having to go salmon fishing this weekend for a break from the coalies.... :D

are the names. -that is 18 ( :? ), which would be 8 on the Sailfish and 10 on the Karen Anne. I'll have to double check both skippers would be happy with this. In any case, I'm closing entries for this, - if someone drops out they won't be replaced with a new entry.

Hi,
Is there a link to the rules etc for boat comps, tried finding it with no luck, just regarding hook numbers , bring your own bait etc?
thanks

IFSA rules or if your on the same boat as me just copy what I do. Your good at that :D :lol: :lol:
No small boats rules here this is the real thing :? and another thing bring your own bait this time. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Fri Mar 28, 2008 1:38 am
