its the Bob White Memorial Comp,its 7 am and theres meeting in the warlord cabin
the agenda; where to go:question:
present at the meeting jeff (skipper, ling king no1 crewman, sconner "the apprentice"
choices were north, east or south to be fair sconner suggested going west to warkworth and having a day on the drink:question:
with my years of experience in keeping skippers right
jeff finally agreed we "go north":exclam: its worth adding that this was to be a day of three very different thirds:exclam::exclam:
the weather was fine and the sea only had a hint of a swell,water was as clear as i have ever seen:exclam:
as we came into view of the first mark theres someone on it,well they were circling trying to find it:exclam: lets hope they did
not the best start to the day
the next few marks took us up till about 10 30 am and very little in the way of fish of any size
there were mutterings of" the jock has made a right Henry Halls of this
and i was beginning to beleieve them
fortuneately the next 2 or 3 hours saw a dramatic chang in fortunes,with a couple of double figure fish coming over the side,plus a few more in the 6 to 9lb bracket
time slips away when you are enjoying yourself and all too soon its time to plan the route home, fishing a few more marks on the offchance of pulling out summat to beat jeffs 15lb ling:exclam: a few more fish were boated,but no monsters
all in all a fantastic day with a few fish and a lot of banter
the weigh in confirmed jeffs fish was the heaviest of the day,and of course it won the sweep on the boat talk about money going to money
fish weighed in ranged from 15 lb down to a couple of pound,there was a great table of prizes in the schooner where the presentation was held, there was also one hell of a table full of grub supplied f. o. c. by derek
warlord squad took a few prizes off the table for their efforts,as did natalie kristan,elizabeth jade ,wicked jackgrowlerand obviously some more i cant remember
some night in the not too distant future monies raised,will be presented to the rnli and st.oswalds
a big thanks once again to all who played their part in whatever way

15lb,a worthy fish for a winner. Wish i could have been there. Two worthy recipients for the donations, well done everyone.
I had thought of the sail up to Amble to fish it but that would have been TODAY .... sunday.
