The Guernsey spearfishing & social 2016

[westcoaster]

Don't think there are many Guernsey divers taking part this year, happy to go with the flow on this

Hi , just to clarify will all the competitors be fishing in the same bay ?!

 

[foxfish]

Yes, different location on each day but all competitors in the same bay.

 

[Spaniard]

Mr Spaniard =

Hahaha

 

[Spaniard]

Can't for the life of me remember why I'm holding up a fishing lure?

 

[Paulcollas]

Hi Mart, not long now.. Any idea on competition rules this year? is it singles? pairs? teams?

 

[foxfish]

Hi Paul, competition rules are printed a few pages back, ref the team situation, we will decided that on Friday evening.
To be honest I don't really know the exact numbers who will be diving!
There are several folk who have said they are coming but I have not had solid conformation so we will leave the teams till as late as possible!

 

[AlB]

Hi all, still aiming to come but have to await the results of my latest scan, so will be a last minute rush if it's a yes...(no change). Really looking forward to it and even if there is no space for the comp I'll still come if my leg will take it!

 

[Spaniard]

Not long to go now, just enough time to get my body 'bikini ready'

 

[foxfish]

And your Christmas outfit for Sunday!

 

[Spirit]

As per usual, I will be trying to get a few scallops with Mr Trelawney on the Thursday and Friday. Other bubble blowers welcome.

 

[foxfish]

So only a week to go before the first guys arrive
The 7 day forecast looks great, lets pray for it to continue for the next 11 days at least.
Don't forget there will be a Christmas theme for the Sunday night party, please dress appropriately !!

Fingers crossed the weather holds like it is at the moment! Post lots of pics to this thread guys and we all want to see the action (and fun)!

I need a day or two to re-learn the basics (and to drink all the Rocquette cider on the island)

 

[foxfish]

Actually Rocquette Cider has evolved since you were last here, we now have two brews readily available & several craft versions available at certain venues. There were four brews available at the recent Sark folk festival ....

I have checked several long range weather forecast and they all give similar results.... low wind, warm and dry

I met up with Podge a few weeks ago. He was asking if the Guernsey "Fish In" still happens. He said to stay away from Spaniard if he's been on the cider

 

[foxfish]

Podge was fun alright ... and very generous, he came in 2007 & 2008 .. I think.
We had terrible weather one year and bad fishing the next but the early fish ins were fantastic.
We had a 10.5lb crayfish & 14 lobsters for our Sunday feast, I found the 2007 thread here... https://forums.deeperblue.com/threads/holiday-guernsey-2007.68289/

Please give him a massive hug from me, legend that he is!

Just reread this thread, brought a tear to my eye. So many memories, OMD and Derek, always in my thoughts.
