Speciman Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 Fished Poole Harbour entrance and around the Swash Channel this afternoon with Zzippy. Zzippy caught a plaice immediately The rest of the fishing was slow with only bass and gurnard making an appearance - an enjoyable sunny afternoon nonetheless. Quote
Bob F Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 Took my Kayak onto the sea for the first time last Saturday. Our Kayak Club arranged a trip from Studland Bay over to Old Harry in memory of a club member who passed away recently. Proceeds of the trip went to Cancer Research. A really enjoyable trip and VERY different to paddling on the river. Had a fun time surfing the waves that were punching through the holes in the cliffs. BF Quote
Paul J Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 Sounds fun Bob, when you are you getting the trolling rig set up? PJ Quote
Maverick Martin Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 Back on tack.....Well done Zippy good to see the flatties are around,.......shame I havent the patience to fish for them Martin Quote

Bob F Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) Martin It's the Stour Valley Canoe Club, SVCC. Naturally, I think it is the best club in the area. Why? Unlike the Poole Canoe club, SVCC do not charge for lessons, coaching, or taking the qualifications. They are very much like PBSBAC, run by a bunch of enthusiasic but experienced volunteers, rather than a commercial outfit trying to take your money. Members come from Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Portland, etc, rather than going to more local clubs. You just pay an anual membership of Edited September 29, 2006 by Bob F Quote
great white Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 What 50% of the roll, is that not just capsizing Try a canadian canoe just lean a little and the rest is simple, over she goes. Charlie Quote
Paul J Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 Bob, I even set the club record for the fastest 50% roll You must have learnt this in Kimmeridge PJ Quote
Bob F Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 Charlie, Yes, that's the technical term for capsizing. I've got it down to a tee. Paul, cheeky sod. Quote
Paul D Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Is this you in the bay Bob !? ( Photo care of Charlie Chapman ). Quote
Paul J Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Cool Photo- makes a great pc desktop wallpaper PJ Quote
Bob F Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) Gosh, I hope not PD. If I capsized with that behind me I'd end up the same height as PJ BF Edited October 3, 2006 by Bob F Quote
