WSF Boat Meet with Ian Burrett.....Details

**bigads** · 25-01-2007, 19:31

OK time has come around again for the annual WSF boat meet for Scotland. I hope this years trip goes down as well as last years did. Although if more beer gets consumed that last time.....I'll be worried....

. You can read the report by Shaun Cumming in the Features tab at the top of the screen.

The dates booked are Thurs 26th & Friday 27th of July.

So the cost based on 16 members going will be £90 for your 2 days fishing.

Now some of you I'm sure will be close enough to travel and thats great, for those of us having to travel book accommodation in Drummore of the surrounding area. I'll be staying at Clashwhannon Caravan Park which is very reasonable. I can find more places for those that would like digs if you pm me.

What will we be doing...

Well we have 2 days so we could go for the tope one day and species the next. The weather might dictate where we go, but we can decide when we are there.

The boats hold 4 anglers so if you all decided to do something else that great, as long as we all have a good time.

Whats up for grabs......

Ian has kindly put and On Yer Marks Pollock rod into the prize pot. Worth £110 it's a generous donation.

Mike Thrussell Jr & Sr will be giving us a mystery prize.

And of course what you all want the WSF cup...

....being naked for the presentation is not necessary.

Ian has guide lines for the tackle required and various other details available from his site http://www.onyermarks.co.uk/.

The boats also don't have space for big tackle boxes so might be best to get a smaller one...I'll have to.

One thing I feel I must make clear to those who have never fished with Ian is his conservation policy. Obviously all tope are returned, but so are all inshore Pollock. If folk wish to catch a fish or two for the table we can head for the off shore marks.

You'll need wellies for getting off the boats and bring some shrimp rigs, macky feather etc for feathering Launce and macky.

I've probably missed something but feel free to ask.

Deposits will be reqd I'm afraid. Half of the cost £45, does that seem fair. Now you can either post the cheque to me but make it out to Ian Burrett. Either way they will not be cashed unless you fail to turn up. Pm me for details. A deposit secures your place.

List of those going... I counted the names from the last thread and there are too many, so first come first served basis guys...the deposit gets you secured.

Hi Adam,

Let me know the details of where to post it, and i'll get a cheque in the post as soon as possible, the caravan site you're staying at, do they accept touring vans ?, and will i need to get some extra line?, i've looked at some of the water depths up there, a bit deeper than the 40/60 feet we fish in

This has the hallmark of a great trip !!!! Looking forward to it...but its just reminded me to get my caravan deposit off !!!! I'm taking my own boat down for two days, fishing with Petethefisherman, and others.... then fishing with Ian and Peterthefisherman on the Saturday !!!!! It will let me sit and relax, instead of having to race around after Ian !!!

AND, more faces to names !!!

Audrey S · 25-01-2007, 23:15

We're planning on leaving Drummore on Sunday, heading northwards, the wife wants to go to Killin, I'd rather go along the coast, and do a bit more fishing, but "ho-hum"

It's a small price to pay
