27th Feb

So we will be meeting on the water at 11.30am near the quay of Banis in St. Julians Bay for an intended departure of midday. VHF Channel 06

Boats can stay out until 17.15 at the latest because I want to have all fish weighed in by 17:45 so that we can all leave by 18:00 latest so that those people pulling their boats back out on a trailer don't have to do it in the dark.

Maximum distance offshore 6nm
Fishing area - From Opposite Qawra Point down the coast to opposite Grand Harbour (You cannot go further south than Grand Harbour or further North than Qawra Point)

Tumbrell, Kubrit, Plamti and similar fish will count 1:1 (eg 2kgs = 2kgs)
Acciola 1.5:1 (eg 1kgs = 1.5kgs)
Dentex, Cerna 2:1 (eg 1kgs = 2kgs)
Pastardella 2:1 (eg 1kgs = 2kgs)

We will be adding up the total weight from each boat rather than the total number of fish.

good luck to ALL ! enjoy guys

starting and finishing in st julians is perfect for me as the boathouse is there.... the only prob is i'm waiting on the mechanic to find the part I need and come fix it in today.... no part, no go... If I do get the boat working, Kane will have some competition then as we both know the east coast well........ issa naraw.......

[bigboy]

nick waiting for your reply please about my problem

Spoke with Robby about it or give me a call.

Tomorrow according the various marine forecasts is looking to be a good F 4 according the marine forecasts with tonights wind being F5/6 so probably kicking up a swell. It isn't forecast to die down until the evening.

I'm happy to launch and see how we go but could be we all end up in the port. What do you think?

I don't have everyone's mobile numbers so you'd better check online first thing tomorrow because if the F5/4 forecast for the morning persists I think we should cancel.
