Shore match
SUN 25th FEB  BRIGHTON   09.00 – 15.00 Venue change

The ongoing Southerly winds and coloured water at Brighton means it will be unsuitable for Plaice. The match on Sunday 25th February will therefore now be a Solent Rover.
Please sign on at Crosshouse Road car park by the Clubs boat compound under the Itchen Bridge SO14 5GZ between 7am & 7.30am. All competitors to remain in the car park until the signing on officer leaves at the end of the sign on. Fishing can start from 8am with scorecards to be returned back at the car park no later than 3.30pm.
The boundaries are Keyhaven Quay to the west and Eastney Beach to the east, including Southampton Water. Only publically accessible areas are allowed.
The normal witnessing rules will be relaxed for this Rover and you may use the same witness as last match if needed. Please try and fish with another member but if you wish to fish alone this is permitted. However, if fishing alone you will need to photograph every recorded fish on a match measure showing from nose to tail (wing to wing for Rays). You must also include in each photo a token which can be collected from the signing on officer. These photo’s will be reviewed by a committee member and only accepted if clear.
The golden fish will remain as a Flounder and if you catch one locally you deserve a golden bar, but we aren’t that rich.  IF the golden fish is not caught the winnings will be raffled at the end of the match between those still present.
This will also be the 1st round of the 1st Knockout to be drawn after the match.
Good luck all, tight lines.
