Found this and stuck an arrow on it. Look for something like this. Jim

I don't know about aditives Adam. On my carbs on my old engine, I had a big brass drain screw at the bottom of the float chambers. If you have them, you should be able to drain out any water etc. Jim

Sounds like fuel starvation, so you're probably in the right area. Did you change the fuel filters ? Is it carburrettors or injectors? 2 stroke or 4 ? If it's carbs, they should be fairly do - able yourself. I have heard that fuel can " go off " if it has 2 stroke oil mixed in it and left to stand. Jim

Nice fish George, Now I know what a Brill looks like ! Add it to the list of fish I've never caught. You must be proud Mike ! Jim

Congrats Adam. I echo Coddy's thoughts.

Happy birthday to three Birthday Boys.

Happy Birthday David

Bu**er off ! No you haven't I need to catch some Eating Bass Jac says if she wanted sprats, she could get them from Greenslades! Jim ( & Jac )

Ditto Charlie's comments Adam. Now ! anyone who's a bit sensitive, cover your ears ! ! ! BLOODY HELL ! ! Small Fry - 3rd place Of course - it was pure skill on my part. I enjoyed it. Thanks Gents. Jim

Yes Rob, I TOLD Steve to leave his wallet at home ! Jim Ps I only look heavy - Flab isn't as heavy as muscle.

Just received this one from Carl ( Overdraft ) Thanks Carl. It's a very difficult job, trying to photograph your own boat. Jim

Had a look at the Aquarium Project. You're dead right Neal, Poor Cod it is ! It's a good web site. I hadn't looked at it before. ( never needed to ) You only need to look fish up if you catch some. Jim

Thanks Neal. Something else I noticed, _ there were lots of fish showing on my fish finder earlier in the day, and by late afternoon - - - B*gger all ! All the boats & Jet Skis must scare the poo out of them. I'll have to get Steve out of bed earlier next time. Jim

What is a Poor Cod ? One that's spent it's life Drinking, Smoking and chasing easy Women ? ? I've seen Poor Cod mentioned in posts before but just thought they were in " poor condition " It's all a bit confusing y'know. Jim

And another

Carl getting a photo of Small Fry for me.

And a few photos of Overdraft

And what about my Monster Bass.

And one of the bigger Pollack

This is the size Mackerel we were catching.

And This ?

Right, Here's our Fish Jim - 6 Mackerel, 3 Pollack, 2 Pout and 1 Bass Steve - 8 Mackerel, 3 Pollack, Can someone verify that the fish in these photos are pout please. Jim

So far, it's looking like Neal's in front ( again ). But guess what ? - I think I'm quite high up the scores ( well at least not bottom ). I took a picture of almost everything that steve and myself caught, so I'll count up tonight and perhaps someone can help me work out my points. Chuffed to bits ! ! Jim

Welcome to the Club Rob. Yes we had a great day. Jim

Well I caught the SUN My face is redder than a monkey's Bum ! Me and Steve had some fish too. I had Pollack, Pout, Mackerel, Bass. Steve had Pollack & Mackerel. We saw Court Jester off Brownsea Castle, and had a go there as well. We spoke to Bill ( Ferret ) & Dave on Lady Christine over the radio. We stopped and spoke to Carl & Aaron on Overdraft. We headed off over to the West but the Sea got a bit uncomfortable the other side of Swanage so we headed back. We saw Court Jester again, Neal seemed to be doing well ( again ). Got a few photos. I'll sort them out tomorrow - too knackered now. I think it was a pout ( I'll post photo tomorrow ) What a Cracking Day ! ! ! Jim
