Looks like I missed a fine ol' time

Regrettably I wasn't able to drop by at all on Sunday eve as hoped - I was looking forward to meeting you all.

Gonna have to be next year! (I'm sure there'll be something on cards already!!)

There's my damned bottle of wine again!

[foxfish]

Great stuff, we are off for a farewell chinese meal tonight but considering that the ferry has been stuck in port for two days it might not be their last night at all?

[Spaniard]

On a serious note I can't believe how the UK boys have let the side down by spending the whole time eating and drinking and failing to catch a 10Ib Bass!! Last year was conducted far more professionally and I hope you are all ashamed of yourselves you spearfishing hooligans! Top marks for the hosts again it seems; Podge I want you on a detox my boy when you get back.

[Spaniard]

Just got off the phone with Podge, the line wasn't very clear, I think he said he'd eaten 12 Chinese?? Someone in the background was bringing him beer; good god what has happened? No fish to speak of, spearing in chocolate custard was mentioned, I think...? Where are the sensible people to tell it as it is? I think Podge and Jim are planning to pilot the ferry back tomorrow themselves.

We missed you mate. I'm off to bed and they're off to the pub.

Until next year or sooner Good luck on the dad thing.

Dave

Mate you know him well!
We had a fantastic meal & adequate amounts to drink - that is why Jim has taken the others to the pub!!
Graham will be here for a few more days but the official Fish-in is over & OMD will have his name on the trophy, one bass & one wrasse caught in the most uninviting conditions deserves the honorable possession of the trophy for the next 12 months.
See you guys next year.

[Spaniard]

Congrats to OMD! Shame about the conditions but people have done well in other areas!

Evening all, just got home after the Guernsey Holiday and so a quick note to say THANKS VERY MUCH for a more than great time.
Even though the weather didn’t play ball and the vis and sea conditions weren’t at there best I can say with complete confidence that Jim and myself had a great time with some wonderful people.
A special thanks to Mart and Sarah, Colin and Mandy and of course Dave and Helen for there hospitality and patience with a couple of UK mainland drunkards.
It was good to put a few new faces to the names from the forum, so nice to meet you Tom, Jonny and Graham.
If I’ve missed anybody then I’m sorry but it’s been a long day.
Roll on next year people.
Best
Paul

I echo everything that Podge said!! Had a fantastic time and the hospitality was second to none! The food was nothing short of first class and the alcohol flowed freely! Special thanks to Foxy, OMD, Sarnian, Jonny250 and their families for making us feel very welcome. Great to see Derek again and meet some new guys - Magpie and fishing guru Dave.

Thanks to everyone for taking us out and trying to put us on the fish! The vis was against us a bit especially the last couple of days where we were like blind men in orgies - having to feel our way around. The good thing is that if we can still have a brilliant time in that weather then surely next year we cant fail?!?

I am now on a de-tox for a couple of months as my body is close to destruction - Podges fault!

Beautiful day today, no wind but just enough surf for Graham to have a go & calm enough for Graham to have a dive! He reported very clear water in the shallows!
