problem with the South East Forum

**jassyfa** · 20-06-2008, 16:59

a few years ago there was a comp Essex Vs Kent which after all the name calling turned out to be a great idea as many friendships developed. As most of you lot are new to the site and have never fished a Essex Vs Kent match (its the taking part not the winning that matters) lets say we have another one.
Personally I would prefer the Kent coast as the fishing is better than the Essex coast and there is more chance of people catching fish. I would also suggets having it when the weather turns colder (has it actually turned hot yet?) as gives time to sort out a venue and basic rules e.g 1 or 2 rods how many hooks and what rules are we fishing to.

Sensible comments please

Was it that long ago? Thought it was only last year we had these meets.

Good idea though about having another one.

I'm up for it, but not Dungeness, lets make it somewhere with a bit more life like Ramsgate or the deal areas. Maybe Whitstable or Herne Bay (if it was Herne Bay we could all go round Whoppers palce for a barbie afterwards, get drunk and stay the night

)

Oh and Urly could get some more of those free fleeces done for the new guys

Ash said he will have another if Urly can sort it out.

Just been studying Google Earth and we could look at Woolmer, Sandwich, Deal and a place called St Margarets(I think). How about we go for the return match again and if it is later in the year we will be able to use the St Osyth/Jaywick beaches in Essex, they are good winter marks or of course their is the new mark I have been looking at a bit further north if it is to be nearer the summer, trouble is we will have to blindfold everyone else and make them sign the official secrets act if we fish there

Great idea, as mentioned with all the new members, a get together would be a go.
Venue ideas for the Kent side, as Issy mentioned Deal/Walmer, Princess parade, hythe, Dengmarsh rather than Dungi. Even book a day or night on the Breakwater as long as we know the numbers, and then pick your peg out of the hat.

Date in September would produce well, and most of us would have taken our holidays by then.

Replies on post cards guys, worth a wizz

i'll be up for that jason.breakwater sounds a good bet if it's gonna be september.the beaches during daylight won't fish all that well then i don't think.

Firstly its nice to get some positive replies, and ideas on where to fish afterall Dunge isnt everybodys cup ot tea. Also do we want a fish and greet or keep it as essex vs Kent with anybody else wanting to fish (some of the South Coast might want to join in) as a third team or just get given a side to fish for.
keep the ideas coming and lets hear from some newbies.
