    Report on-board Flamer IV

    ENGLAND SQUAD ON FLAMER III - The England world championship squad have been out on Flamer III for a practise weekend.In 2010 the world championships are being held in Montenegro,so a practise session using the type of tackle required in similar tidal conditions for species like bream and gurnards was done on a calm October weekend.In fact lots of different species were caught all on the same rigs/traces during the two days.The different species included black bream,cod,red and tub gurnards,mackerel,scad,garfish,pout,poor cod,spotted and thornback rays,various wrasse,dog fish,smooth hounds,bull huss,whiting etc and lots of mini species.Jim Whippy an England team selector came along to add his wealth of expierience and keep score of the competiton they did as individuals and teams which just made it a more interesting practise session.Jim kept changing the rules so I am not sure which team won but the individuals winner on both days was Gary Galbraithe.Pictured are the England squad.I'm sure you all wish them well in Montenego in 2010.
