They were mostly mackerel caught in the last 2 hours

 

[thommaz]

Is they a limit on amount u can weigh in for mackeral or not?

 

[bigandy]

No limit Ryan.

 

[thommaz]

Cheerz mate did u fish it

 

[Pighunter]

They were mostly mackerel caught in the last 2 hours

That explains it thought there was a limit

 

[GEORDIE H]

S.S.A.C. used to have a limit of 3 fish before they were banned a few year back a junior member weighed in 105 maky for 85lb in a 4 hour match

 

[bigandy]

I did'nt fish it ryan. Not fished many, always at work.

 

[The Spaniard]

Ehh no limit

 

[CODMAN]

No limit on number of Mackerel spoils the skill element of the competition given that once the Mackerel are around it takes little skill to trawl them out.

I did'nt fish it ryan. Not fished many, always at work.

I went to see the Airshow instead. Always next time though.

waste of time fishing for them in a match any one can catch them spoil the match

I'm sorry but allowing mackerel to be weighed in is a joke I was thinking about joining this summer just to get me out the house but maybe I'll leave it to the winter where I'd stand a better chance I've spoken to a few of the lads from your club and they tried to have the mackerel stopped being weighed in but were overruled if your looking for potential members this isn't the right way of doing it I'll probably join the winter league when the easy fish leave

 

[fishingmark]

Completely agree there Bucky.I think a rule change is needed there lads.

 

[pop39]

I tried to get a limit on the mackerel last agm but it got overruled by a couple of votes , i think it will definitely get more of the lad's in the club stopping the mackerel slaughter during matches for the next summer season

 

[Cod Commando]

That vote needs to be overturned. Its a no brainer, I would be gutted to bring back a bag of hard fought cod which takes time, money and skill to catch, only to find a lad has bagged up with set of feathers in a couple of hours. In short, this will ultimately affect the final standings at the end of the season. In my opinion.

 

[YoursTruly]

waste of time fishing for them in a match any one can catch them spoil the match

Your not wrong Bucky, but I recall you being the first to try for them a few matches ago and yes your right you did waste your time.

 

[sless]
