I think it's a lack of booze Brian. Them there withdrawal syptoms ! ! Not going out Friday as up early Sat on Wight Magic. How will I cope ? ? ? Jim

Sorry I can't make it Mike. Looking forward to hearing how they perform. As you say, better with assistance first time around. Good luck. Jim

?????????????? Is that Tues 13th & Weds 13th maybe ? ?

Sounds like fun Tom but I'm out on Wight Magic Saturday. Hope it goes well. Jim

Its a Jim thing that comes with his old age "The dreaded dimentia" Martin I have no idea. Jim

Happy Birthday Gordon. Soon be as old as Martin ! I bet them Cakes went down a treat at work. Jim

Bu**er ! Never mind ! Good Call Adam. Safety and enjoyment is what matters, and the Sea can be a cruel mistress sometimes. Always best to play safe. Jim

To quote the film, Jaws - - - - - " We're gonna need a bigger boat " You'd better hope you only hook a " Little un " then. If I hooked something bigger than my Warrior, I would get through a lot of toilet paper. I would like to give the down riggers a go though. Cheers Mike. Jim

Welcome Toby, I nearly went to the Brittle Star grounds last year but weather changed and I went for IOW. Not been out this year yet but hope to soon. Jim

Wicked ! Thanks Adam, See you at the Meeting. Jim

That's Jolly good of you Mike. I've just asked Adam for a space on JV. I would like to do that if he still has a space. I would like to come and try your riggers though. I'll share expenses etc. as always. Cheers. Jim

Sorry Dave, As always, my ears will be open. If I hear of anything............ Jim

Adam, If I'm quick enough, I'd like a trip with your good self please. Jim

A very interesting topic. I'd never heard of Downriggers. I'll have to try it one day. Jim

Flogging Lady C ? I didn't know Dave. Are you going back to Warrior size or Bigger and Faster than Lady C ? Jim

German Engineering at it's BEST ? Jim

No Idea. Phone them up and ask. Jim
