10th Large Boat Competition. Report sent in by Marc Duncan.
The club held its 10th and final 2025 Large Boat competition on Sunday 16th November from Poole aboard "Ocean Runner" skippered by Ryan Jones. 7 anglers ventured out with a breezy NE wind. First mark was for pouting and bream with most anglers getting their 10 pouting quickly. A couple of bream were caught and Marc Duncan had a couple of ballan wrasse. Another stop on the way out towards the Banks in search of congers and dogfish saw John Wood land a conger and Robin Lane land a dogfish. Once out on the banks 2 small eyed rays were caught by Marc and Robin and 4 blonde rays by Jane, Dave Wood and Malcolm Gerrish. Robin and Jane also caught a smooth-hound each. A few congers and dogfish were also caught and Jane topped up her score with bream. Moving back inshore to the last mark another small smooth-hound and a few bream were caught. Despite a cool NE breeze, a good day was had by all.
Results:
1st Robin Lane 146 points, 2nd Dave Wood 133 points, 3rd Jane Hopkins 91 points, 4th Marc Duncan 88 points and 5th John Wood 75 points.
Congratulations to all anglers who fished the competitions throughout the season and to Dave on being 2025 Large Boat Champion.
