Paul J Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Posted July 21, 2008 Simon christened the boat with this beauty of 6 1/2lb PJ Quote
great white Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Nice one PJ it was a bit of a flying spray day yesterday Nice Bass Simon a good start to fishing on your new boat Charlie Quote
just add water Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 nice fish how fast were you going when that video was taken Dan Quote
Rob Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Nice one - I can advise everyone that when this beast is running straight for you for a "photo oppourtunity" it doesn't half get big quickly through the view finder of a camera. No need to zoom in - just wait half a second! Nice fish simon - Charlie A manged one of about 5lb on JoJo , nothing for me! Rob Quote
TomBettle Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 We've discussed it before, but never got it off the ground, but I'd be happy to do a proper photo shoot for club members at some point. Pics in either Jpeg or ultra high res Tif's. I seem to remember that it was Britboard who was going to help wih his video camera too???? Quote
Jim Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Fame and Fortune at last ! Small Fry's up for it . As long as it's on a Weekend. Jim Quote
great white Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 We would be up for that Tom Nice to get some of Alfresco underway. She is due for a scrub this week so should be fairly quick again. Charlie Quote
TomBettle Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 ....lets see if we can get something organised when a few of us are free. Quote
britboard Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Nice one PJ, i think your voice went up an octave or two towards the end, i just took the max speed reading of the gps engine data and it says 49mph and that was on a poor water day and with everything we had onboard, i reckon it will squeeze a few more mph when i've run her in and on a flat sea with the bait tank empty. Rob send over the pictures mate i would love to see them Great day out with the boys though, a good bass, a couple of Bream and my first Gurnard, we found a spot for joey Mackerel and could of caught as many as we wanted, the 30 gallon bait tank onboard worked really well with about a 15% casualty rate with about 25 mackerel swimming around the 2 bream in there, just to annoy them, they even survived the speed trial All-round Really pleased with the boat, i think i'm going to enjoy using it a lot more than i did the Raider and it was a joy to be able to get to the bow easily. PJ seemed to take a liking to the casting deck up front and at times looked like he was spinning for Bonefish in the everglades. Nothing fell off or worked loose and all the bits worked without fault, and i still have a prop after the Mudeford Run, so all in all a really good day, with plenty more to come ! I'll see everyone for the barbie next weekend then up early the following day for some more fishing fun, so if anyone wants a ride let me know. Simon L Quote
Peegeer Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Simon, Many thanks, a great day out and my first decent bass as well made it a perfect day. Enjoy your new baby, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with her in the coming months. Once again, thanks very much, I really enjoyed it. Paul. Quote
