View Full Version : WSF v TSF forum comp
I had a PM from Pouting who is also a member of the TSF forums. He is interested in trying to get a comp going between the 2 forums. Who would be interested?
If you are also a member of both you will need to decide who you are going to fish for:boxing:
OH POLLOCKS !!!!!

We will see how many are interested from each site and take it from there. We would also need to have it somewhere that would be suitable to both sides.
As usual a small donation from everyone attending would go to the RNLI and we will try and get some prizes arranged too.
I'm always interested in meets depending on when and where:bounce:
WSF could put up Ron and Jassyfa as prizes.
MMM dont know about that alan, You trying to throw the comp already and get rid of them or something :roll1:

count me in for wsf, depending on date and venue
For this comp WSF needs somebody who would be happy to catch small fish after small fish all day long just to keep the points going. Also you are going to need somebody who has a good record in these sorts of meets. Finally somebody with a bit of an ego would be useful.
If any of you know somebody who has these skills please get them to fish this match.
With regard to the ego bit ive heard yours isnt that bad jassyfa lol

Fish it? You can organise it if you want Jason:yeah:. I think I already have my hands full with the Weymouth meet, so feel free if you want to liase with Pouting (you should be good at that, lol) and take over the WSF side of organising it:happy:. From the response already, in only 90 minutes, it looks like it could be a biggie.

I can only fish it if im not working that weekend. I should be able swap some shifts around and take a few days off before hand to dig some quality bait. As for organising it all you need to do is find out when and where and how much and sees who turns up.

guys is it open to WSF full stop or just South East forum?
darrell2ooo
27-01-2008, 20:40
i think it should be open to all wsf lads
count me in just need to no dates and time due to work
Well As far as i see it its WSF V TSF so anyone that want to join in can if cascar agrees
I think someone else should have a go at organising it. Terry has got his hands full (dont even think about it ronald). I cant because im busy with personal commitments at the moment, but im sure someone else would be willing to give organising it a go?
I dont mind helping organise it this end, but somebody wil have to liase with total sea fishing forum lot.
I have already spoken to Pouting about this and we are looking at 2 rods 4 hooks max.
What I would like is a sensible venue where fish can be caught (not Felixstowe) and your availabilty.
When I get these I can put out a few dates as I won't be sure about the tide times. Also let us know how much you want to pay for this comp. Finally we are looking at the SAMF size per species rules.

Nice one Jason! Now as for venue.....god knows :)
Brighton, Chesil, Dover, ??etc etc

I would say open to all, Ian. If there are enough TSF lads that want to have a go then I will move the thread to General.
It looks like Jason is getting stuck in already so I'll leave to him to organise if that is ok. I will do what I can if asked and hope to be there for this one.

Well...It wouldnt be yours that filled his hands up,it's only small I have been told on good authority.
simon is on TSF alot and i glance at it now and then, how much we looking cash wise?? and if all WSF and TSF can get involved your going to have to look at a beach because a pier jus couldnt be big enough. what about Dungeness? around March/April ??
im jus throwing suggestions in the wind here..
Nice one Jason! Now as for venue.....god knows :)
Brighton, Chesil, Dover, ??etc etc
Lets make it local so not Chesil its over 4 hours for us Essex lot to get there. Remember we want to win this so pick a venue that people from this forum are use to fishing.

Keep the suggestions coming. Its going to be a beach in Kent as there are no decent beaches in Essex to have a big meet unless you want to catch flounders.
nice ideas guys but we also need to think about the guys from TSF as most of them are from wales
why not dungie then... alot of us have fished it, also its just up the road if we need to get some extra practice in the forthcoming weeks.. also it can produce.. the double figured cod's yday lol!!! but seriously.. we know dungie quite well between us all.. and the main thing is its big enough!!
I was gonna mention that...if this is open to WSF and TSF members then really its a nationwide thing. People from Ireland are members on this site! Good luck jason! :)

Dengie is a good venue, but the problem yesterday was that it was only fisherable near the boats and it was shoulder to shoulder fishing. It would have to be an early start so everybody could set up before the masses turn up.
It looks like the Weymouth meet will be put in the shade by this one. Good luck Jason:happy:.
Dont forget, as Pouting has said, that many of the TSF guys are from Wales and will not want to travel all the way up here. Maybe somewhere in the middle would be good, how about Milton Keynes:lmao:

Why not Chesil and hold it over the same weekend as the boat meet? Chesil is a fairer venue as I would say it is about the same distance for the Welsh guys to get there.
only way it could be made possible is if there was minibusses going or a coach.. make it alot cheaper... n then back end of thisyear we go to their turf and show them up there aswell :D

don't forget we have the big Counties thing going on 31st May at chesil.
What about the place we beat the South forum at, Widewater beach, Shoreham?
Why not Chesil and hold it over the same weekend as the boat meet? Chesil is a fairer venue as I would say it is about the same distance for the Welsh guys to get there.
You know what Ron... that is actually a good idea:clap:

I have been reading this threads for this match, and its handbags at dawn. We could if everybdy agrees fish this match as team south east, also invite TSF so they can have their own team and invite the south west lot and have 3 matches in one go. This will reduce the costs of having 3 matches.
In that case Chesil would be a good venue and perfectly placed between all parties. Just a thought though, if it was the same weekend as the Weymouth meet, we would have several members that would want to do both. How do we sort that one out?
When is the boat meet. I would think you would have to decide what you want to do. Remember not everybody is going to be happy with the decision
No matter what is organised not everyone will be happy. You have to go with the masses.

Jason,you may live to regret that date mate.A lot of people are fishing the boat meet at Weymouth the following weekend,including a lot of the welsh contingent.I cannot see people travelling to Weymouth twice in one week!...Why not the following weekend...You will get a far bigger turnout of people.

27-01-2008, 23:52
if you are going to fish kent then the only place big enough for jason and his ego , sorry i mean wsf tsf is walmer through to deal about 5 miles of open beach that you can see one side to the other
or google earth it and follow the coast looking for lage open and continuios beaches . remember to check to see that when the tide is out you dont have to walk 3 miles to find water .

Thats the date of the Chesil meet, im just throwing around a few ideas. if people can't make this meet then I will look for an alternative date and venue. To be honest the thought of leaving out at 2am to fish this match doesn't do a lot for me.
As Nukem@ll says the Kent coast is looking good but will the Welsh turn up, I wouldn't go all the Wales for a forum meet it wouldn't be financially worth it.

well looking at going up to wales to fish near to barry island . i plan this year to fish lots of different places .
I had a PM from Pouting who is also a member of the TSF forums. He is interested in trying to get a comp going between the 2 forums. Who would be interested?
If you are also a member of both you will need to decide who you are going to fish for:boxing:
by the the amount of POSTS that are negitive....have you wondered why you posted your suggestion in the first place...Just LOOK what YOU have DONE.......:doh::doh::cry:
This thing is becoming a monster..
Have already spoken to Pouting and Jassyfa via PM about this and have been following the posts that have very rapidly grown in numbers.
I have fished a DoverSAA forum meet that was a total disaster, only bailed out by a load of guys from the TSF forum who joined us. They were a good bunch who all came from the south. southeast and east anglia (Even Norwich fans - spit, cough). So they were not all from Wales..
If we organise a match at this end of the world, which will also suit a number of the TSF lads (and our own traitors!!), surely there will be a return leg in some remote location.
There has been a huge response to this thread so far so why don't we maximise the turnout and have it locally. Although Chesil is fairly central. its also inconvenient for just about everyone, thus I would anticipate a limited turnout.
If its a local beach or pier, we would guarantee a good response, even if it is one-sided.
The other concern is daylight. Most venues are not that productive during the day so why would anyone want to travel a great distance to risk blanking. Unless we fish at night, the only places worth aiming for are Dungeness or the Breakwater at Dover.(213 pegs).
If the Welsh lads want a return locally to them then I am certainly interested in giving it a go.
In the title of a UB40 song - Food for thought.....
Some good points there Greg:clap3:. I think a bit more discussion is needed maybe, before a date is set in stone.
We also need to see what response we get from the TSF lads and where the majority will be travelling from.
I think this could well be a massive meet and rushing into it could cause a few problems. Lets look at all possibilities first:kissing:

As I mentioned earlier, im looking for ideas, the Chesil intercounty match is a to early start to make it feasable and minibuses are just not going to work, due to people dropping out just before the match.
If we keep it local, fish afternoon into evening on a weekend then that should help. I was also thinking that if there are not enough TSF members then I would peg the event ( somebody would have to pull my peg for me half way through the draw) with different colour on the peg numbers. These colours would then represent what team you are fishing for. This would stop the event being WSF vs TSF but team 1 vs team 2. This could mean that a car load of fishermen could be fishing for different teams.
Another idea is to take the top ten results from both teams to work out an average as we usually do.
Finally what is everybody idea on paying for the match, would you prefer a small entrance fee with cash prizes (100% payout) or just a match without cash prizes (this has always been a major bugbear).
PLEASE PM YOUR THOUGHTS ON THESE IDEAS.
These meets are a good place for the new members to meet other members from this site and as the RNLI did not have a good turn out lets all try to make this one.
Hi guys now i know there are more of us on here than on TSF but just had a PM from one of the guys over there. Now alot of the TSF guys are also members on here and they believe that some people are trying to rig the event by having the meet at a venue totaly unfamiliar with the guys over there. Now i know is a comp and all but at the end of the day we need to be making it as fair as possible. One possibility that has been mentioned on TSF would be the bristol chanel. AT the end of the day we should be going to have some fun and hopefully catch some fish in the process.

To start off the Bristol Channel is to far for a lot of us to get to, and don't go thinking minibuses as we are spread out over 2 counties maybe 3. As for trying to rig the comp I thought most of the TSF lot would have been from the same area as us. If they all live in Wales it would be easier to ask the Welsh lot on WSF to arrange a meet.
Although people on here might be willing to fish Wales at the moment nearer the time those numbers will dwindle to 3-4
If any of the TSF lot lived local to the South East then we could have a meet with them.

I think that TSF will struggle to put a team out, they all had arguments with the mods and moved to a different forum.
They only have a couple of new posts on there every month, shadow of its former self.
Is it possible to have a poll on here, for those who want to fish this match. the poll would be for where would like to fish.
the choices would be
Kent, Sussex, Hampshire (Milford) or Bristol Channel.
If the TSF lot dont want to fish the winning venue then we can just turn it into a meet or a comp with teams to be decided later.
if it is the 31st may im defo out.. missus is due on 1st june! i fink she mite just go a lil mental if im not there for labour day.. so why cant it be in april.. if TSF are struggling to get a team then why dont we just see if the welsh in WSF want a match, if TSF cant manage a team then is it really worth tryin to push it?? we could start up a WSF counties tournament or something. you dont want to let the match be in like may because its alot of waiting around and people could get bored of waiting for it and forget about it.
That may have been the case trevor but theres are more people joining up by the day and theres a new mod on there now lol. Ill put the same poll on there when i get chance and see what they come up with. There are a couple from the south east and the london area and a couple of guys that have just moved over to TSF.

Where did you find this information out n4lly? if that is true that may be due to people being very clicky and small minded, if 1 has a row and leaves, the rest follow like sheep, wsf started with a few members in 1998 and grew, tsf will do the same, I hear it has 1300 members after 11 months so it's not doing to bad, personally I would use any site if it helped me to gain fishing knowledge and make new friends through meets and competitions no matter how far away I would have to travel to them, but some people seem stuck in the Dark ages.

after having a quick look at who has voted (I can do this) I was wondering why somebody from Lincolnshire and somebody from Wales has voted for the Bristol Channel. The 3rd vote is from kent who has only 2 posts, makes me think that TSF voters and time wasters voting for the fun of it.

Maybe someone from Kent Is a new member on this site Having bought a Pc and was trying to be fair and split the travelling time for both teams as was suggested !!
I dont mind people from this area voting after all the comp is meant to be WSF vs TSF but people from Wales and Lincolnshire is a bit of a p*** take. If those people want to fish perhaps they should speak to Pouting about arranging their own meet with their own forums.
Also Im roughly know who will and who wont fish these matches.

im from kent, part of me said to do bristol channel, because none of us know the water well, and also its half way, but then i fought i wud prefer kent, so just so you know...temptation to fish somewhere neither opposition know very well!

To start with the poll is open until Feb15th, once we get a venue, then I will suggets some weekends anr let the majority pick the date.
Probably a silly suggestion, but given the geographic diversity of members from both sites, why not have a two venue meet, I know west won't meet east and vice versa this way, but at least then west could fish west and east, east and at the end of the day results phoned in somewhere. Just a thought.

Stiil chatting about this on TSF got a fair few interested, Just waiting while we get a poll on as i cant put one on in the section i started the thread in. I know i cant do june either. Maybe end of july may be a good idea, Nice weather and hopefully some fish to boot. Some of the guys on TSF are talking about if it is on the south east coast they make it a full weekend and bring there yaks over too.

Sounds like a good idea, maybe if the weather is a bit warmer they could camp out for the weekend making it more worthwhile coming all that way. I would suggest waiting until late spring / early summer.
Well ive just been asked by the site admin to find any camp sites around the areas, So if anyone knows of any decent camp site around the areas in the poll can you let me know asap. The same areas are on our poll so just got to wait and see now.

is it worth having a home and an away leg like we did for the southeast v south match, then each forum can pick their preferred venue?
is it worth having a home and an away leg like we did for the southeast v south match, then each forum can pick their preferred venue?
The original post from Pouting was that TSF wanted a match against WSF. As this is the south-east forum I presumed the TSF lot would be from the same area. However most of them are apparently from Wales.
As matches and meets go on this site the numbers have decreased over time and to ne honest if we ever had an Essex vs Kent match the Essex lot would struggle to get a car full. In fact I could tell you that the team would consist of Alan T, Issy, Thames Rover SJP and myself as nobody else from the Essex side of the forum turns up or shows any interest. Some of the Essex lot can't make it due to work commitments so fair play to them.
Getting back on trek, if the match took place at the Bristol Channel you would have to add travelling time and petrol plus some way of keeping your bait fresh for the journey up there. Also if they want to match to start at 10 am what time would you have to leave?
My second plan is if the TSF lot pull out if we get vote for a meet at Kent or Sussex (remember to vote for what venue you want) then I would split the competitors up into two teams, NO Essex vs Kent or South East vs South (unless the numbers were near enough equal) it would simply be team1 vs team 2, so you could fish against who you travelled up with.

what about making a weekend of it and having a camp or whatever in Wales and them do the same in kent or where ever and put the money from the matchs to a charity ?, surly there is more to fishing than gaining a few pound notes each ! It would also be good public relations for fishermen, if you could get it in the papers) as we are getting bad names due to the few who leave line and litter lying about.
i perfer jassfya's awnser saying that we shld hold our own meet, but still contributions go to charity.. but to be honest, if alot of TSF members were willing to travel or express an interest in the mach then we would have from them all by now, maybe there isnt enough people from TSF interested, i say squash it and look at a meet and when we all arrive split into 2 teams.

The poll is open top the 15th of Feb, by then I should hope to have heard something from the TSF lot.
Now arranging these meets and or matches is not easy so please bear with me. If for example Kent win the location we still need to pick a venue and i would personally like to see a lot of new faces at this meet so if it means Dungie and Deal are out of the equation then so be it. However if you lot want Dungie or Deal then Dungie and Deal it is. Also how much to pay if its a match, I would like a couple of quid each then its not to competative and affordable for everybody. Or would you prefer a percentage or all the money to go to charity.
After all it is not my meet/comp its yours and the venue, rules etc will be your decision
if there's not enough for an interforum thing then why bother with teams , just make it a meet with so much a head for the RNLI and a prize for the biggest fish or whatever, then there's a bit of a competitive element but it's more based on fun and a bit of a get together

Like I say its your meet, you lot make up the rules, but lets get a venue first. The polls are going to be open to the 15th Feb so everybody gets a chance then after I have seen who has voted and remove the wasted votes, (those voting who live in Wales etc) after all its a south east coast meet/match. A meet could be on the cards if that is what you all want. Although I have voted for a venue I leave the rest of the voting for you lot.
Jason i would guess that dungey would be the best place as it's got the best parking or there is always Princes parade hythe as an alternitive to wamer/deal.
If kent gets the nods then they wil be on the list along with some north kent sites. Also you lot can give suggestions as you know the areas better than me, remember we want space to fish, easy parking and somewhere to work who has done what during the meet/match.
Hi jass the poll over on tsf is slow at the moment. But some guys (as it has been mentioned earlier) have said they may make it a weekend meet because of the traveling. If i cant get enough interest from members i will let you all know on or around the 15th feb and maybe just make it wsf meet.
Cheers

That sounds Ok, if the locals from TSF want to fish with us that I don't think any of us will have a problem with that.

Depends when it is but Hythe or Deal beaches are not very productive out of winter months during daylight hours. Dungeness is always worth a go or, failing that, Dover Breakwater..
I would fish for the TSF crew, but have no idea who you guys are ?

I think that the following is important:
1. Jassyfa has made a real effort to promote an idea.
2. A charity has been suggested
3. Therefore, in the spirit of goodwill all contributors to this thread should recognise point two and do their best to allow it to happen.
I feel personally that 2 is all that everyone is striving for and wish to do anything I can to facilitate that objective.
Also as Jason has come up with the idea originally,and it is best that one person should then own the idea, all others should then do their best to accomodate any problems he may have and he should be allowed, if he is willing to make, the decisions.
If Jason does not have the time to do so, lets remember most posters have a job that comes first, then perhaps someone who does have the time and ability, possibly someone who is retired, could step in his place.
Above all Jason has my vote of appreciation for doing as much as he has to make this happen.
Well done J.

Thank you very muvh for the above post Edgey.
I had been told beforehand that trying to organise a meeet/comp is a nightmare as everybody wants to put in their 2 pence worth. So instead of making it regimental im just going to let you all vote for what you want, that way the majority win.

OH! No i dont.
This seems to be a different TSF, not wot we know in the local newsagents or WH Smiths :doh:
Brilliant flag !
Ah. You mean the guys on WSF who fish for TSF.......
Just to remain everybody that this poll shuts next wekend. So far 29 votes which to be honest is a bit poor.
its a bit concrete now as to where the venue will be.. but who knows... there might be a little surge.. cant believe so many people were saying they would be up for it and yet have put in their choice.
anything new to add guys?? has it been decided about prizes? prices? if all proceeds are going to RNLI??

First you lot get to pick where you want to fish e.g Kent, sussex etc, then what part of the county, then how much you want to pay to fish and if you want the money to go charity or some of the money towards charity and the rest in prize money. Also whoever wins gets to pick the charity (if you vote for a charity to get some of the money)
fair enough. so has simon said how its going on TSF... they still game?? much feedback from them??
I have heard nothing from Simon
