Arrangments for West Bexington Comp 28th April

[Ian Houlton]

Can We use this thread for final arrangments, Directions and the like?
Lets try not to turn it into a "we are going to kick your arse" thread eh?

Any D.A.B Members who are more than likely coming to the comp, can they please PM me ASAP.

[Jamie Donnelly]

right, is anyone going to be fishing the night before??

Jamie

[Ian Houlton]

Right then, we may have to think about having this a 1 rod comp.
The beach is going to be far from empty and allowing the lead to moove with the current is going to give us plenty of tangles! It is a very strong current mostly.

[ChezzieM]

1 rod will be fine. have the other rod baited and ready to go.

[Ian Houlton]

yup, gonna have to do it i'm afraid
1 rod 3 hooks for the comp is sensible i think, this does not meen peope can not fish two rods, but it needs to be one rod if you are fishing the comp.
Any of the other area's orginising the next regional match can do what they want as they know their venue's better, but this one is going to be 1 rod.

sorry! :)

[warriorgunner]

can i use one rod connected to a fishing trawlers net?

[Ian Houlton]

cheers rich

[warriorgunner]

thanks 4 directions!!

[howie]

ian m8 i think you need to look at this again west bexington is a bloody big beach why 1 rod?dont make sense to me like i said its a big beach if 400 ppl are on the beach i dont think there will be tho m8 a lot of ppl will fish in front the car park.if it was a penn/issac/smaf/nfsa match then yes 1 rod with a max 3 hooks only but it aint.its a friendly meet so i think it should be 2 rods max 3 hooks so onlt 1 rod can fish with 1 hook and why not say that if ppl want to use plain leads for the plaice then they should go further up the beach about 1 mile or so as you no you can fish bex either side of the car park when we fished pevensey we used 2 rods and it was fine no problems at all or ian m8 you can have a vote on it 2 rods or 1 rod vote.i for 1 will be there and il be walking as far away from the others on the beach as poss and i also no that ppl who are after the mackeral wont walk no more than about 300 yrds from the car park so to be honest i think it should be 2 rods m8

[Ian Houlton]

Howie
we are not going to be al;one on that beach mate, we will be there with no end of other anglers in the way and as an example, 12 people on the beach and we still had people too close to us. Not everyone can walk a distance to use a plain lead, and it is unfair to ask them to. We have to think about others, and that is all i am doing.

[DBY]

Howie its a measure and release match with guys fairly close together to measure your fish for you,some are fairly new to sea fishing with little experience ,as a friendly meet we dont want too many tantrums when things get tangled together and i for one dont do knitting,so to be honest with all this in mind the one rod rule is a reasonable request for this venue

[Bagstar]

Wonder why we had a poll in the first place then???? :g:

[Ian Houlton]

You are right Bagster we did, but at the end of the day we need to think about specific venues as well, and that is all i am doing, i have to think about the D.A.B comp/meet as well.
We have no idea when the next regional comp is and then the orginisers of that may think differently, or find things specific to that area they maybe have not thougt of yet.

[lockstock]

I know its early but could someone from each club start to think about numbers for the 28 April and let me or Ian know. West bexi is a very popular mark as we noticed yesterday by the presence of 1/2 dozen mackie bashers (despite there being no mackeral) already! The car park has about 40 places only due to errosion and is £4 all day - a few can park along th verge up the approach road but it will be a case of car sharing and an early start I suspect - but then the same will be true of most venues!

[Edgey]

Wonder why we had a poll in the first place then???? :g:

As the official Club Tart, I fully support the idea of 1 rod each for the DAB meet on the 28th April, due to the entirely foreseeable problems that will occur if two rods are fished. I for one doe not want to spend the entire day untangling birds nest's of four or five rods lines.

To be honest I think the format should be for the home team to decide upon where-ever the match is taking place. I.E. Dorset matches, DAB sets the format, Hampshire, HHAC does so, Sussex SAS does so and so on. These are friendly matches, not sponsored by tackle manufacturers for God's sake, they are supposed to be friendlies, let's keep them that way.

All will have the same advantages/disadvantages, so I fail to see what the fuss is about.

[warriorgunner]

can we fish 1 rod in water and have another baited ready to go? as this would be time saveing etc?
Doesnt mean you have to use them both at same time.

[lockstock]

I expect that is what most will do .. the issue is the number of lines in the water and spacing along the beach - the fact that with the current and the novice status of some of the casters (me included) means lines will not all be straight out at 90 degrees to the beach! There will also be the inevitable mackie bashers on the beach and so it could quickly become tangle city!

One tactic could be to cast 150 yards up the beach just out from the surf - pull in everyones lines/rigs in one almighty tangle and then use your other rod to clean up on the fishing whilst everyone else is untangling the mess! However only do this if you are 6'5" and built like a brick outhouse!!

[warriorgunner]

ok great advice m8

that sounds like my normal style of casting and fishing.....:unsure:

[warriorgunner]

my style useually gives the rest of the beach a good chuckle, i shout i swear and launch my rods into orbit, wich im glad its good kit or i would have broken my rods and reels by now.

[peterpan3494]

counts me out then ha ha

[Ian Houlton]

What you mean you are not coming?

[howie]

rite guys ive i have recived some pm and txt by ppl on here not mentioning any names but it looks like most of the ppl who have pm ed me and txted me want to fish the match /meet and want to fish 2 rods i have a plain the ppl who want to fish 2 rods they have to walk way past the others to fish the meet then and once they have caught a fish they are to walk to opposite team and get them to mark the cards and put the fish back in the water in front of that person or they can keep the fish for the table.ian west bex is a very big venue ppl can fish to the left or the right of the car park(for ppl who dont no west bex)it should be down to that person if he/she wants to fish 2 rods if he/she decides to fish 2 rods then they must walk a distance away from other ppl on the beach.i have fished there for many years and ok in april you will get ppl there fishing for mackeral.But not like they will be in june july time when the beach will be full of mackey bashers so i think you should re think the idea of 1 rod m8 if you still decide its a 1 rod match many ppl will not turn up.so please read on what i have put and have a re think or have a poll on it m8

To be frank Howie I feel you are being a bit on the anal side. It is supposed to be a friendly match, the reasons for the one rod are to ensure everyone, not just the experts enjoy them-selves, there will be a lot of newbies there that day, so I am asking you and your friends to come off your horses and join us for fun day out.

[Ian Houlton]

Howie, if you know Bexi so well, then explain to me exactly how we are all going to squeeze in on that beach? it is not a big venue when it is busy. it will be full of anglers mate. Of course peole will have to walk a distance to get a spot.
if people are Pming you on this issue then you are a mugg for listening to it, we all have a right to comment on stuff mate but lets face it, if they need to have you speek for them there is something inherrently wrong.
do it this way then, it is a social meet with a comp, if people want to fish two rods then that is fine mate, let em fish in a social manner and not enter the comp simple as that, keep it friendly.
look at it this way, you have people saying they are not in agreement with the one rod thing, fine by me, i have people saying otherwise.
lets face facts
IT IS NOT FAIR EXPECTING INEXPERIENCED ANGLERS TO COPE WITH EXPERIENCED ANGLERS AND USE TWO RODS. End of story mate, i am thinking about everyones enjoyment, so if you or anyone else does not want to enter a comp with one rod, don't. just turn up for a social.

[howie]

Ian West Bex Is A Big Venue The Car Park You Can Fish Either Side Of It You Can Walk Either Side The Car Park For About 1mile And Some If You Want To Walk That Far Rite The More Experianced Anglers Can Fish To The Right Of The Car Park And The Novices Can Fish To The Left Of The Car Park 2 Rods Meet/comp Sorted Done And Dusted How Simple Was That To Sort Out Easy As 123
Tight Lines
Howie Lee

[lockstock]

Just to put things into perspective - the Car park holds 40-ish cars and a few more on the road there could be between 80-100 anglers on the beach at the weekend esp if the weather if good. At a 30 yd separation (which is not much) then 80 anglers would cover 2,400 yds (well over a mile long!) add two rods and increase the separatioon to 50 yds and the space needed would be two and third miles! We may only have 20-30 anglers between DAB/HHAC/SAS etc but there will be plenty of others on the beach - there may even be another comp on - there often is at the weekend. It will be far more social and friendly to fish one rod closer together otherwise you could go all day without talking to anyone else! I'm only going to fish one rod and will no doubt spend most of the time chin wagging with the visitors around me - the comp only makes the day a bit more fun - no ones going to win anything (although some seem to have alot to lose!).

[lockstock]

Howie - why are you trying to organise everyone elses meets as well as your own - Ian has made the rules of the day clear and when its your turn to host an event we'll turn up and fish as you ask! How simple is that - stop fretting!

[howie]

You Lot Do What The Hell You Want Now But As From Now Count Me Out I Will Not Be Fishing It As Ppl On Here Cant Do Things The Correct Way And I Wonder How Many Other Ppl Wont Be Fishing It As Well Now C Ya All The Best

[howie]

It Was A Vote To Start Of With Ok Then Ian Asked Me About The Other Day About Getting Into Tangles Once I Told Him He Changed It Inti A 1 Rod Match How Krap Is That Well Like Ive Said Do What You Want As I Wont Be Fishing It Now If It Was A Issac/penn/nfsa.smaf/match Then Yes 1 Rod Max 3 Hooks But As It Was Suppose To Be A Friendlymeet/comp Then It Should Be What Ever The Indivual Angler Wants To Fish 1 Rod Or 2 Rods 2 Rods You Stand A Better Chance Of Catching A Fish Or 2

[Ian Houlton]

fair enough but it matters not one bit who will not be coming, there will be plenty who will Howie.
you have shown not one bit of consideration for any of the guys who can only mamage one rod, we are meant to be helping people not showing them how competant we all are.
you have simply had a paddy and blown out of a friendly/social meet so if the howie fan club do not want to come then fine. we have had bigger meets than his and manged lovely thanks, we will do it again.
sorry.

[warriorgunner]

if i bring a mate can he fish 1 rod with me, as hes a complete carp head and cant do wrag worms incase one winks at him!!

[Ian Houlton]

yes of course he can mate, either that or we will have another change and say that we can all use 2 rods, but we are only allowed to use the butt ends?
hows that for a compromise? no?

[warriorgunner]

so is that a yes or no?

[ChrisP]

I think you would be much better logically with 3 rods each and 6 hook shrimp rigs. Just think how many fish you could catch and it will do wonders for the tackle shops locally, loads of bait sales, replacement rigs and spools of line. Even the odd lost rod to replace.

yep fair enough i reckon

[Edgey]

yep fair enough i reckon
Perhaps we could have a multi-rod casting display where the more experienced anglers can show the less experienced ones how to cast 4 rods simultaneously one handed whilst standing on one leg, like one sees at country fairs with the fly fishers:clap2: :clap2:

[Chris]

hay if this is a free for all im useing a100 hook long line,is that ok ian:1a: :wiggle:

[Ian Houlton]

oh no you don't
i am not answering that, it is a trap of some sort and i aint falling for it.
just out of interest, are the the guy who was at our comp in dec ? have you recently had a name change sport?

[Chris]

i also know the best place for plaice at west bexi is to the right of the carpark?:secret:
i will get my brother in law to sign up on this site and he can fish this freindly under the TE banner.:)

[Chris]

Aka Chriszzr:)

[warriorgunner]

lost in translation???

[DBY]

if i bring a mate can he fish 1 rod with me, as hes a complete carp head and cant do wrag worms incase one winks at him!!

I think thats a definate "Yes" of course you can bring a mate

[warriorgunner]

cool as hes my good buddy, he comes with me sometimes when i fish, he likes to have a cast and reel in the fish(seaweed). but he aint upto tying knots or baiting up, unhooking fish(seaweed).
But he can hang with me as norm, and if he tangles my line thats my drama.
cheers all stop bitching see you on the beach.



ps if your fishing on the peir can you please buy me a icecream?

[ChezzieM]

as stated, this is a D.A.B meet with the host clubs rules.

D.A.B welcomes anyone to fish, but if you don't like our rules, don't come.

as to state other peoples supposed gripes, why don't they P.M the organisers of the meet, with there concerns.

its better than starting arguements or the I am BETTER than everyone else attitudes.

This is a friendly club, with friendly meets.... SIMPLE.

matt

[lockstock]

Mate - DAB is solid as a rock - there are guys here who have organised very successful meets in the past and DAB has a good future. The 28th is a DAB hosted event and as such we will set the rules for the comp part of the day. As in the past people will come along before and stay after the actual comp - after all some people are coming a long way - fish more rods early morning or in the evening when the comp is over (and the beach less busy) - it is a format that has worked well - we only did one rod last comp and everyone enjoyed that! I hope that everyone takes the opportunity to come along and have a chat, put faces to names and have a good laugh - the comp adds to the experience but its not the only reason for coming. I hope that HHAC and the Sussex lads can come along on the 28th.

[Ian Houlton]

yeah it was untill ppl starting changing things around to suit there own see hhac thread its gone along the same lines as this dab thread now its all a big joke


old on sport, I changed the rod usage to suit everyone, good anglers as well as inexperienced ones. whether you like it or not is simply not in the equation.
stop being so bloody selfish man. I do not give a monkeys toss whether you like anything i do. the change is for the good of everyone not just to suit you. who the hell do you think you are? being a good angler, or a big caster does not give you the right to stamp your feet in protest or spit out your dummy when things do not go your way. My god you are going to have a bloody nervous breakdown if you carry on. you send me a PM saying "i am not having a go" then come out with that Garbage! I do not need your advice on how to run a comp, friendly or not as i have enough accomplished anglers down here to get help from, you are not the best angler on WSF by a long way sport. you did this the other day when you went off on one because you caught a few fish and then had nothing short of a direct pop at Highwayman in public, quickly followed by a "I would never slag off Highwayman"
I spoke to you on the phone and you sounded like a reasonable bloke albeit with a very high regard for himself, now you are simply looking like an arrogant git who needs to shut up quickly because you are looking stupid.
This aint the Howie show anymore than it is the Ian Houlton show.
We will have this with you at every comp in the regional league, you will spoil it every step of the way.
We had our last comp down here on Dec 9th, 1 rod each and everyone caught fish and got help and Guess what, no one got asked for an Autograph!

if thats what you think fine i just dont like changes it started of as a 2 rod meet the same as the 1 april at eastney that started of as a beach meet.Now look what has changed west bex 1 rod eastney pier and beach why not say that from the start then why change this. and ian i was looking out for you ok as like ive said before if you fish the pier then you will have to walk a distance to the pier as parking can be really bad at times and walking on crutches is bad enough trying to walk 10 feet instead of a distance were your going to park the car unlike the beach you are parking rite in the beach and a 30 sec walk will put you rite by yhe water ok .and the pier will be very busy on sun as there will be ppl down there trying to catch mackeral and you will get more tangles on the pier than you will on the beach and the tide will be 4.2 and thats a big tide and you will find it hard to hold bottom of the pier unlike the beach.ian take some advise from some one who has been fishing here for 5 years and knows what he is talking about man and knows these marks very well all im trying to do is help ppl out if you cast out 10 yrds to 100 yrds then the tide will pick your gear up in seconds thus getting caught up with other anglers. as for the west bex thing why not do it this way then 1 experianced angler with a novice that way the novice will learn something from the other angler thus makin it a better day for everyone and as for me spitting my dummy i dont think so i was trying to get a valid point across to ppl on here i dont no how many years you have been fishing or what your like at fishing i do not spoil things i dont care if things dont go my way it dont bother me 1 bit what pi$£ess me of is when im giving good sound advise out and trying to help others and its got nothing to do what so ever about castin etc its got every thing to do with what it right and what is wrong ok

[bigads]

Ok......All the rubbish is cleaned out. You can continue organising your FRIENDLY meet.

Howie and Ian....take your debate to PM.

[DBY]

So are you coming Howie or not ! looking forward to meeting you :)

[crack off colin]

Hi Guys

What a shame that a good idea ends up as a slanging match. In my view once you know the rules and regs then its up to you if you fish it why argue. You dont find many anglers in dispute with the opens that are held people know the rules and if they dont like them they dont fish it simple:clap3:

I would ask the same question as DBY are you going Howie? :g:

[Bagstar]

Whats the connection beetween a 9 volt battery and a womans @rse?





































You know its wrong but sooner or later youre gonna touch it with your tongue :D

Just thought I would try and lighten things up a bit!!

[Ian Houlton]

anyway back on track, the meet is one rod (appealing to the masses there)
and it is not sponsored by Frank Warren.

[Mican60]

I know its early but could someone from each club start to think about numbers for the 28 April and let me or Ian know. West bexi is a very popular mark as we noticed yesterday by the presence of 1/2 dozen mackie bashers (despite there being no mackeral) already!

Hi lads, I`l be wanting to fish that one, so count me in. Fine with me about the 1 rod & 3 hooks, I can blank just as good like that as I can with three rods and as many hooks as I can cram on.:D

[Ian Houlton]

We ave five members of S.A.S coming to this comp I have heard today and to be honest that is a bloody relief!

[DBY]

O bugger .... better stand down the SBS that were ready and waiting :bleh:

[Jamie Donnelly]

can i ask which five SAS as coming to the meet??

also i know its a one rod match, but can i use on rod for the comp and have another fishing along side? none of the fish caught counting towards the comp?

becuase i would like to make the most out of my trip to chesil. but still fish the comp?

Jamie

[lockstock]

Jamie - the limit on rods is to prevent tangles mate. There will be a good tide flowing and lines will inevitably cross - the more lines the more the mess and the less fishing that will get done! Its goning to be packed on the beach at that time of year mate even without us lot! We've taken good advice on this. Take a spare rod and have it ready to go to when you are re-baiting (or untangling) your main rod! Also you could fish two rods before and after the comp if you think there is room to do so!

[Jamie Donnelly]

oh ok if thats the case!!!

thanks

[TOM PARKER]

JD - if I fish this friendly comp then I'll most probably stay over the Sat night and the best fishing will be when the sun goes down.

I pretty much always fish Dungeness with two rods which also has a very fierce tidal flow but haven't fished WB. When the tide is ripping fast I end up using one rod and if it's too bad I go home as haven't got rods to cope!

I would rather fish two rods any day but it would be a nightmare with people fishing tow rods "uptiding style" having a big bow of line off to one side.

I hope I can make it as I have never fished WB or Chesil before or met any of the lads down there.

I have read the last few pages of this thread to gauge the situation. I have never fished a sea competition and probably never will, a seriouse one anyway. That's not to say I cant fish, just that I am a sensible gambler. If it is a comp on the 28th then I would like to see a prize of some sort, be it a packet of Polo's or one or some of Ian's rigs - nought big or expensive just to make it more of a laugh.

I'm happy to fish one rod but if I fished two would my catch be halved for the comp results? Not wanting to stur it up just asking.

[lockstock]

Its a friendly meet as well a comp - we don't want to put people off coming and all DAB meets are friendly! However if you want to fish two rods then you won't be eligable for the comp part of the day - ie your results won't count in the comp. You can still come along and have fun though! I would just ask that non-comp anglers respect those that are taking part and allow them the space to fish!

[Jamie Donnelly]

no no no!! i am fishing the comp!!

can i ask which SAS memebers are fishing ??

[lockstock]

I don't have the names mate sorry!

[TOM PARKER]

Ok thanks Lockstock. I'm trying to get out of existing comitments for that night and hopefully, fingers crossed, will be able to make it! If I do get down I'll fish the comp, one rod. Do Grockles get a 2m lead!?

I would go out on a limb and say that Mesito and Mr B will be there but not sure about any others. This is based on a dodgy memory of past threads/posts!

[lockstock]

Tom

Half of DAB would qualify as 'grockles' we live all over the place.

[fishyrob]

Now everything is chilled I'm gonna come down. Can I fish under the Essex banner......??? Will be dragging a pal down from the East Coast forum, so thats two for Essex.......

[lockstock]

Essex, Sussex, Hants, Dorset. Will be quite a meet! I'm looking fwd to it!

[lockstock]

Bexi seems to be fishing exceptionally well at the moment - lets hope it continues through April!

[lockstock]

Look forward to it mate - if the bexi meet is as well attended at todays session on Hayling Island it'll be a great day - hopefully with a few more fish on offer!

[mesito]

no no no!! i am fishing the comp!!

can I ask which SAS memebers are fishing ??

Between Ian H, Chesilmaster and myself we'll flesh out the detail of this meet comp in the next few days. As per the previous posts hopefully we've had all the debate that is needed so that we can concentrate on timings and numbers etc. Watch this space!

[crazyplums]

i'm still not sure i can make this one, i got a club match on the monday, then off to the nec for a trade show tuesday-thursday, then off to jersey on sat, so i'll prob be too skint ! but i'll try,

someone from "team extreme" needs to fly the flag !


oh yeah, just came across this on youtube, people a while back,questioned my reasoning behind my suggestion of leaving lots of space between anglers, to allow those who pendulum, the space required, lets face it... dangerous (in the same way a jumbo jet is dangerous) as it is, people will do it if they need the distance, check out the radial sweep of this guy, then ask me why !!!

Well i'm definately gonna be there for sure, If any one is stuck for a ride along the A27 route from chichester to ports somewhere pm me and i will be happy to take one or two of you down there, I will be leaving mine about 6am and leaving bexi about 4pm if this suits anyone. I may have room for a blow up doll or two as well.

Also can i ask, what time are we running the comp side of things from and to, I would hate to arrive too late or leave tooo early, I am happy to fish one rod as my other one is knackered and if the tide is as strong as it is believed to be then i will probably get knackered trying to fish with two any way, Cant wait people be nice to see some topless bathing going on too.

Mate, after watching england's dismal performance today, I could understand not going if you were to offer your services as batsman. I suppose we won but it was as interesting as watching paint dry whilst sitting on razor blades. Don't get me wrong, but I hope your match gets called off - the team needs you :)
If you can't make it however, I'll be sending the boys round if you score anything less than century :D

I see you are as eager as ever jamie, hope i get to meet you bud, seeing as you were the first chap i ever spoke to on this site and i have heard such fantastic stories about you. lol. I'll be the one sorting out the birds nests if you are unsure what i look like!

Christ Brad............What's the matter with you man?! :uhuh: I've told you to stop 'sorting' those 'birds' nests. lol! Errrrrr, on the other hand.......how many birds are you bringing? Enough for me to sort out a nest?! (Please). :blink:

See y'all on 28th.

Andy. :kissing:

ps. Disclaimer......If my wife reads this, I know nothing about birds 'nests'. (It's true, she will confirm it!!) Apparently it is illegal to tamper with them for fear of turning the 'mothers' into jealous violent birds. Strange.

[Edgey]

Does any one know where he has got to? Is he likely to come to West Bexington?

[lockstock]

I wouldn't be surprised if his mum doesn't let him come after all the grief he got around the HHAC meet! He's not been on for a while anyway! Strangley he vanished about the same time as 'you know who'!

Edgey will you kindly stop catching so many fish mate - you're starting to worry me!

It was I just that I was talking to Ian about the 28th and the conversation came around to his absence of posts.

I see he comes from Somerset, so perhaps his mum could pick up Ian and give him a lift at the same time as Prawny; Ian lives in Somerset as well I think!

Prawn Cocktail,

If you are around that day, could your mum pick up Ian whilst giving you a lift?

[lockstock]

I'm not sure Lisa would like Ian getting Picked up by Prawny's mum!
