Has anyone else ever caught a fish? My pike was only 5 inches or so.

How did you do that? With a line and a hook, or simply scooped it up when righting the boat from a capsize?? Allan Norton will tell you that, In Porthpean, there's an Osprey sailor who regularly goes fishing, single-handed in in Ospey. When we were there last year, the Contender Nationals were being blown off and he went out for a bit of fishing!! |

One of our contender sailors managed to catch a trout last summer - it just jumped into the boat. He picked it up and was about to hand it to the committee boat for safe keeping when it slipped through his fingers and managed to find its way out of the boat via the drainage tubes in the back of the boat - much to everyone elses amusement |

I caught a gar fish? Long thin (approx 15'x1') at Whitstable on my MPS rudder, thought it was weed but when I stopped the fish was folded around my rudder, straightened it self out and swam off. I also once got 2 stiches when I was trying to tie a phantom to rock and the rock split in half cutting my wrist. |

I've went out in the laser in last summer with a piece of string behind
with some pieces of ham on some hooks and caught 4 nice makerels!
and nothing to do with sailing but proving fishys will take anything: when i was in the new forest i saw a load of salmon just hanging around under a bridge so i went and got my rod and got some really good fly technique going. I soon got quite a crowd which kind of put the pressure on to catch something. Then...some little 10yr old kid came down with a pice of string with sweetcorn on the end (yes...SWEETCORN!) and he just dropped it down and pulled up a nice big salmon first time! I looked a proper pillock!!!  |

I heard a bang and thought id broken someone ten I heard flipping aroud in the bottom of the boat. I wasnt going to let it lose me a place so I kept going. Lucky I didnt have a self drainer otherwise it would have got away. Must have been out for a jump.

Over here the usual 'catch' is flying fish. They just happen to land on the deck. If they are alive I throw them back. Deliberate fishing is over longer distances 100 - 200 miles or more. With the right tackle you are guaranteed a catch. Usual is of the tuna family but some other fish are also willing. I even caught a sword fish once. It was only a baby a little over a meter long and tasted very good. It was interesting that it hardly put up a fight till I tried to pull it out of the water. |

I don't remember his name, but I'm sure that members familiar with Porthpean SC will tell us.
