Jim

I'm sitting here cringing at these stories. My Brother's son used to come out on my old boat with me. He was a NIGHTMARE. Very nearly hooked people many times. Scary ! Jim

Hello Mark and welcome to the club. We have a rule in the club, All new members must supply members named Jim with lots of Cake and Beer at their first meeting. Seriously though Mark,- - - - Welcome to our club. See you out there. Jim

Happy Birthday Adam. I know I was 30 once, but can't remember it. Jim

I don't get out ( in my boat ) very often. I borrowed a lot of money to buy the boat. I am forever spending money on it. It costs me a fair bit in launching / fuel / bait etc. for a day out. I rarely catch anything but Jacquie and myself like a bit of fish, so we do tend to keep a bit in the freezer. Also, Jacquie's family love fish so we take enough for them to have some ( if I actually catch something ) I always ask before going out If anyone wants fish if I get some. I don't mind killing fish for food, but I'll be b*ggered if i'm gonna kill it for no reason. Jim

Very glad to hear it Graham. Some people say that fish are stupid. I don't agree. After years of trying to catch fresh water fish, you soon learn that fish learn from each other. They also learn every time they get caught and put back. Putting them back will help to teach fish to survive. The problem is that they don't get a chance to learn with great big nets scooping up everything and only being thrown back when it's too late because they're dead. My aim for this year is Biggest Catch and release Bass. Jim

Happy Birthday Tony. Jim

Busy on 9th & 10th April Mike. Level 2 Power Boat training ( Depending on weather ) Isn't shambles over Portland way ? - - Bit far for Me. I'm a big softy. Also JK was after a boat. There's a Warrior 150 on Boats and Outboards for 3 Grand. And a 165 for 6,500 ish Jim

I'm always glad of an excuse to get my Rod Out Mike. Sunshine's as good as any other. Jim

Erm - - - - - It was in your species tally Mike. You were not too knackered to update that. Well done. Jim

Bass, Plaice & Turbot ? Bloody well done Sir ! Jim

Yep, and the people who knowingly buy the stolen goods. Jim

Johnny, Although I bought mine second hand, I had the engine serviced here: http://www.poolemarine.co.uk/categories.asp?cID=459 They're next door to Sunseeker in Poole Town centre. I was VERY pleased with price and service. Take a look at their prices to supply an engine. - - - - - Mike, It'll be a long time yet before I've paid the loan, but it's worth every penny. To quote Tom Bettle, - - I wish I had " My money " too. Jim PS Now the weather's warming up, we really should be looking at a " Warrior Day " We could get some cracking photos of our boats on the water.

Bugger ! Sorry Neal. I have a couple of Spinning reels you can borrow, or you can have the one back that you gave me. Jim

Here we go then ! Ahhhhhh E-Tec !

Bump: No one interested ? I'll stick it on E_Bay Tomorrow then. Jim PS, I'm thinking of going into business selling chewing gum on the internet. I'm gonna call it E_Bay GUM

Welcome Johnny. Take Rob's advice. - Accept Mike's offer. - Take your time. With boats there's always a compromise. Do you want speed? Do you want Stability? Do you want economy ? Do you want cooker, toilet etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Don't rush into a decision. Jim
