I have been given a Penn Delmar 285M multiplier reel by a gentleman who has given up sea fishing, although an old model, it is in perfect condition and even in it's box. yours for a contribution to our club charity.

I paid £27.99 for it but I see its now been reduced to £25.52. Took a one day delivery option from Amazon and it arrived today. It seems a lovely little reel. Don't miss these bargains Right hand only it seems on Amazon but they are available left or right on Ebay you just have to wait a little longer. I am going to pair it with my Daiwa Beefstick 6ft 6inch medium heavy baitcaster rod and keep it in the boot of my car for holidays later this week first Wales then on for a week touring in Cornwall if all goes to plan. If I manage to get any fishing in I'll let you know how it performs .It is replacing an ABU 5500C3 which I keep getting overruns on .The Whitemax has a much more sophisticated adjustable braking system which I hope will sort the overrun issue out

I think he works for Audi as well.

Nipped into Poole to pick up bait from Andy at 7:45 Down to Cobb's and off for the 8:30 lift. Martin called the bridge operator to let him know we'd like an 8:30 bridge lift please. Only to be told: No 8:30 lift today sir ! Oh well ! tied up to a pontoon, kettle on, ate one of my baguettes. Chucked lines out but only weed. Serenity came past just after 9 with the Radar down and 2 smug faces. ( Bridge lift not needed ) 9:30 and up went the bridge and off we went. Over to the Secret Plaice mark to join lots of other boats. At one time there were 4 of us club boats quite close together. We had a very good day's fishing with numerous plaice. Some of them were keepers. I was " chuffed " with this one at 2lbs 14oz We had Gurnard, Plaice, Martin had a Brill and some mackerel that took his bait as he reeled in. We both had very small smooth hounds too. So yet again I'd like to thank Martin for being a great skipper and host and point out that there was a crew space there which wasn't taken so anyone who thought about it but didn't . . . . . . . You dipped out ! ! !
