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!! ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

I don't remember his name, but I'm sure that members familiar with Porthpean SC will tell us.Posted By: Contender 541

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 ------------- When you find a big kettle of crazy it's probably best not to stir it - Pointy Haired Boss Crew on 505 8780 |

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!!!  ------------- international moth - "what what?" |

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. ------------- Beware of more sail than ballast. http://www.CaptainAris.com - My Site mailto:Aris@CaptainAris.com - e-mail |

How does a wee Jobby diminish one's joy? Is it undesirable in some way? ------------- Beware of more sail than ballast. http://www.CaptainAris.com - My Site mailto:Aris@CaptainAris.com - e-mail |

The above 'jobby' is very undesirable, however there is another type of 'jobbie' which is a word which can refer to pretty much anything. an example 'one o them jobbies' *points a finger at something* A term usually used when the real term is unknown, can be very usefull in the world of sailing. ------------- http://www.kielderwatersc.org - Kielder Water Sailing Club |

Best use the word "wotsit" or "thingymajig "to save confusion especially if sailing at Largs and the jobbie (something) you want is next to a (unwanted ) Jobby on the tramp ,could get nasty Any way if you do find one its best to wheech it away (throw) and then you can call yourself a Jobbywheecher and become a well respected member of the community
similarily if it came upon you you could "wheech the keech" . Think we've strayed from the topic caught a mackrell in my Laser once .jumped into cockpit , grabbed it smacked in its heid and chucked in to rescue boat , took it home for mothers day !
