Hello all.
The footie is about to start.......so I will keep this as brief as my usual waffle allows!! No doubt I am going to start a sh*tstorm here again; but at least I discussed this with a few people to get their opinion first......in particular John (Bagstar) who was responsible for suggesting this meet in the first place.
I am suggesting a change of venue for this meet on 1st (to Inn on the beach at Hayling) for the following reasons (in no particular order).
1. The fishing at Eastney is likely to be patchy at best and at worst, pretty awful.
2. The weather is looking like it will be dry, sporadically overcast and quite windy; which will make the fishing at Eastney even tougher going. IMHO.
3. Inn on the beach offers free parking, close to your car.
4. We have caught bass (amongst other species) all winter at the Inn.... particularly if it is windy.
5. IMHO the Inn is a better all round venue and offers the best chance of more anglers catching........and that is what I would like people to remember the meet for, nearly as much as the social side of things.
That's pretty much it really. Let me know your opinions please and I will (in conjunction with John and after keeping an eye on the Met Office website), make a decision tomorrow or Friday at the very latest. I realise that this idea will not be popular with everyone......but please be gentle with me, I am only trying to do right by the meet and those who are planning to attend.
Best Wishes All.
