Sorry, when you've got a bunch of sprearos weighing in fish in a public car park, you on to a loser. Comps are a PR nightmare. Forget trying to explain the merits of a comp to anyone ....there just aren't any. They simply highlight the worst element of our sport to the general public, and push it above the radar. Perfect ammo for PETA etc.

Have you ever been to a competition?

The fish caught at the LIC pairs comp (Portland) this year were donated to charity, through the local Baptist church it went to one of the largest old peoples home in Weymouth - I know I organised it!

It was great PR for the sport and a local freelance reporter was very impressed with the event. This will also be reported on in the BSA Autum mag.

LOL, have u got the elios yet, It can take some time for it to arrive!!
 
Glad to see you guys managed to sort yourselves out:). Seems like we need a little more tolerance on the British regional forums (3 have got a little unpleasant in the last fortnight to my knowledge). If we don't, soon nobody will dare post anything interesting, no detailed reports, no pics and no movies in the future and we would all be the poorer for it. Good haul & pic Matt, pity only staff can see it now:(.

Very true Clive. We all were never designed to conform to one mould in life. We do however seem to have quite the little forum troll around....it goes away after one post, don't qualify it, and don't bite....rofl
 
Just got back from 2 weeks family holiday at Coverack on the Lizard Peninsula. Great place but I was surprised how cold the water was and how few fish there were in some amazing looking places - but I'm not complaining as there were a few for the BBQ and I now have a huge list of places ready for more exploration.

Catching up on posts I was shocked to read of problems at Thurlestone as I love that place. Gerald the car park attendant has never caused me any trouble but maybe that is because I have never walked past him with more than one fish rofl He even gave me free parking one day because it poured with rain shortly after I had bought a ticket the day before.
He is a scuba diver himself but only dives in warm foreign places these days as he finds it too much like hard work squeezing into his drysuit these days.
