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
