Would a fish caught from the boat whilst tied up to the pontoon count in the boat section ?
If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.

erm, i think that was mentioned before,

afaik, we came up with if its moored to anything that is fixed it counts as shore, where as if anchored (not moored to a fixed buoy, pontoon) it counts as boat...

i'll check it out

Maybe an update of the species chart would help.
I'm aim for the 160 points, :wink: with a mini species hunt (how insulting) after the small boats, :roll: and the odd 10 and 5 pointers.

It would help if the list was kept up to date :oops: :oops:

Somebody has to keep Screaming Reels under the cosh :D :lol: :lol: that boy is getting out of control :mrgreen:

I think they're both long spined screaming , the spines on a short spined are quite stumpy where the long spined are long looking for the size of the fish ,also when the photo is blown up a bit you can just make out the wee barbule on the end of the upper jaw bone ,its easily missed .
