Wedger

Colin, I think they vary a bit,so it will be a suck it and see. We are there 2 rows out and 4 down from the slip. In practice we found a good bit of slack in the chain so pulled up fairly firmly. I would suggest you keep a close eye at spring high and spring low to find the medium. To be honest if I leave too much slack in mine and she blows up on the low, we're halfway across the port run between the moorings and they do pack em in tight . All said, you get to know the querks pretty quickly. Any problems give me a shout. No expert mind, but I've been there 2 seasons. wedge BTW what craft are you putting there?

Darrell, I have a 15 x 15 from a 270/280 T

Yuss Happy Birffday Duncan!

If you have a weight question - I probably have good access to a BIG weighbridge..

Hi Colin & Bobi we'll keep an eye out for you. You'll see us - 'Otter' back on the Quomps soon, ready for the bream & plaice. Give us a call on 6 if you spot us. Welcome to 'The Fould' T

I've looked at that one before. Certainly my insurance co. cover sporting goods outside the home - but only whilst in transit and NOT actually in use. Chocolate teapot springs to mind

There should be some rays around I'd be looking for a blonde for the weekend

Bob. How do you make a rail gun.......

First Class! Needs a wide audiance this one

Brilliant You 'ad me fizzin' for a mo! Bring it on Bob, this is great

Mmmmmmm funny that one but I suppose if you read between the lines

Has anyone got an electric outboard they would be prepared to hire or lend to me for one day next weekend please?

This is likely to be the thin end of the wedge and there will be no turning back. The theory is all fine and dandy if we get hard hitting and full execution of the new bylaw by the fisheries officers. But you're still trying to put out the volcano with a garden hose. The victim will be the easy target again - you and I. Sadly, all too often, change such as this only penalise the innocent whilst the criminal carries on the deception - business as usual. We would need to have real tangible evidence that the fisheries officers have the will and the capability of enforcement to a very high degree. History shows little promise, the MLS is evidence enough of that. If they are not capable of preventing undersized fish being landed and sold blatantly, despite being fully covered in law, what make you think this bag limit will work. If I had the task of stopping the movement of black fish I would be investigating ways of hitting the buyers as well. Prevent the buying of black fish and the business collapses. Rarely, if ever have I landed more than 6 bass per angler, but I do not wish to have the freedom of choice removed. It is my right and my freedom to choose when and what I take for my own use. There has to be another way of dealing with the scumbags other than taking away the rights of honest and well minded recreational anglers.

Eeeeeer don't know but I must find out !! I remember doing some chrome plate at school in the chem lab - 'twas in the cabinet but it was back in the early 70's Can you polish nickel up

I use a 12mm stainless tube cut flat on the bottom and at 45 degrees on top. Hole drilled for split ring which holds the assist hook and clip swivel. The core is lead filled whilst the base is resting in one half of a 1 oz ball mould to give a clean fast drop to the bottom. The body is filled to just below the start of the bevelled head. This give a bit of action but I believe causes a bit of swirling and disturbance (attraction). I also drill a hole either into the lead or through the head into which I push a mini glowlite when fishing deeper water. They polish up time after time. (I must try some home crome plating).

Birthyhappyday Thomas.

Sorry to hear this news Bob, but you're not a man to let it get you down. As one door closes another opens. All the best and I'll keep my ears open.

Many Happy Returns Martin. Have a great day! Trev You've got two birthday threads chap! Is that a privilage of ex-boss's......

Good luck Martin, Take a little comfort in that you are among friend in this department - us included. Surprising though how bright the sunshine and how nice the sea smells when you emerge from the dark side.

I too have a dipstick on my boat but he won't fit through the hole........ Glad all turned out well for you Adam and crew!

Well I seemed to have accumulated 'Stuff' over a period of time on a whim or a punt. So, time to have a sort out now, as my time allowance for all this is just not happening.

Fill your boots
