Some say it’s an illness!! Me I just think it’s love of the peace and tranquility fishing provides !! Can’t put a price on a mans (or woman’s (or transgender etc etc)) happiness !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Keep it clean, this is a family show!!! R

Last few minor issues , the old carbs got taken off to be "sonically " cleaned. The old jets were totally shot and had to be changed , two had been put in crossed threaded !! The impeller housing was also very worn , I'm not sure how but that had also been put on wrong !!!! Very close to my end price as to what a old Yamaha is worth , at least it actually came for free (as such ) with the boat I still need to sort out the Auxillary Transom bracket , I'm not going to wrisk going far without a buddy boat , even a fully re- built main engine needs to be tested. I would love to give a very, very big to the ' Hookys totally skint and needs anything " to Alan, Jimbo,Chris for all the donated gear , I'm feeling very humbled by the generous support from this club . Weird how thing happen , I took a big gamble on what had been described as a project boat , it turn out it was 90% complete and in superb condition . I also believed 6 or so months of hard work could be needed , rip up old deck, glass in new floor etc etc its taken a month ! So not a project at all !! Ah , money , yes that again ! No way would I be looking at the March bream competition, to raise a few £££ I'm selling my old Mariner 60 , selling my fuel gulping Mercedes ( getting a crappy old Focus instead !!! ) etc etc just to try and get out fishing and enter a few club comps Why do we do all this for a few fish ???? Total madness !

Update ! Looking at a maiden voyage next week

Some big pollock are coming off the mid channel wrecks, I'd have been be out there but my boat is on the hard. .

Oh ye of little faith looking at the weather I do not think anyone will now get out for the rest of this month so Allan`s Three bearded rockling looks like taking it ? There is still plenty of Spurs out there mind as I had eight yesterday between 14 & 21lb but I was out on a charter boat. ( all 18 fish on the boat were above the specimen weight with most 16lb+)
