jack Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Andy and I set out on Sat.on a very pleasent Flat sea at 08.30.And that was the best part of the day,other than meeting Charlie afloat in his new Craft. It blew and it splashed. The tide screamed in the harbour all day. And there was no tide out to sea.I am covered in bruises.I spilled my tea twice. We ran out of gas for the kettle. We used up lots of lovely bait and touched nothing.And that was all before lunchtime.I was actually glad to give it best.and thats a first !. Can't wait to get out again....jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hi Jack Well we wanted to test the boat in a bit more weather and can now say we have done that we set off late for the banks with the first rods onboard, before we got there I decided to alter course for Southbourne and was pleased to be able to cruise through the weather at 20 knots We anchored for a bit and had the first fish on Alfresco [a bait sized pout] but we were in danger of not getting a cooked lunch [Wendy wanted to test the oven] and decided to try the harbour In that weather I was pleased with the boats ability to handle the sea although we had slowed to 12 knots It will be nice to see you out there agian on a better day Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 glad to hear you are running Charlie! I swapped the props for the pair I aquired last week, and with another monor adjustment I am happy that the boat is usable in this configuration. I am unhappy that I have lost a few knots at the top end because I can see you and AWOL beating me to the odd mark next year - but all things considered I hope I can draw a line under this. Mardon were superb in resolving the claim and financials - strong recomendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Glad to hear that you are sorted Duncan Does that mean you are coming down next weekend? I am so rusty at the fishing bit that I may have to pick a few brains for ideas this week Charllie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 weather permitting Charlie - I don't do flounder! boats fueled and ready......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi Duncan So is mine and it was launched to be ready for the comp I too am not that good at targeting flounders But looking at the weather forecast itr may well be a harbour day I am keeping everything crossed that the forecast changes Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 see what you mean! however it look like there may be timing opportnuities and it's consistently forecast from the West so we can get out fine - especially with the lack of tide - and play true 'inshore fishing'!

great white Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 we have more success with Inshore fishing, than we do in harbour fishing So everything will remain crossed heres a shot of wndy back in harbour testing the oven Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul D Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Spooky Charlie. Your Tackle box and cold box are identical to the ones I have. ( Apart from the fact they don't fill up 1/2 the back of your boat ! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hi Paul we decided to combine the tackle into my big box to save room on GW Might have room for Sam to bring his as well now and even his sarnie box Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
