I nipped down to Hamworthy Beach this morning 10:30 ish with Jacquie and my Father -in-Law and the dog. I heard a noise across the harbour and looked up. I think it was MegaByte zipping off towards Wareham. Envious ? - yep ! Oh well. Off I went, - - - - - more digging at the Mother - in - Law's. You all had a cracking day for it. The fish are just Icing on the Cake ! Well Done. Jim

Thanks for that, Tom & Rob. Logged into my memory bank for next year. Jim

I had an old tub and was with Noble Marine for about 8 years. I thought they were expensive, but stayed with them. When I bought Small Fry my premium shot up. After asking the club for advice, I ended up with Porthcawl Insurance. About 1/2 the price of Noble Marine and after asking, they will cover me up to 20 miles out. ( plenty for a Warrior 165 ). Well worth a phone call. http://www.porthcawl-insurance.co.uk/ Jim

I doubt I'm gonna get out this month, so carry on without me again. But good luck to the ones who get out. Jim

Yes Darling !

Because I'm Stupid and didn't see it ! But I know it's there now. Thanks Martin

I have a Lowrance 3500c. You're welcome to try your stuff on Small Fry ( Mummy says it'll be O.K. )

I forgot to say, If you let people know what sort of boat size and / or price you think you are looking for, The other members would be happy to show you their boats and give an honest opinion of goods and bads. Don't rush into it. Jim

Welcome to the club Alan. I have no Idea when I'm gonna get out again, And when I do - it'll be a weekend. I will bear you in mind though. If I have any room, I'll find you a space on Small Fry. Good Luck, Jim

I'm with You Dan ! WTF ! Jim

Quote: PJ Jim, Congrats on your new status "Shark Chaser " Im tempted to introduce a new one " master baiter" PJ

Is this a Boating Club - - or a Quoting Club ? Rob's got Martin at it now ! !

I don't know what make of GPS / Fish Finder you have. Lowrance have emulators that you can download and install on your pc. So you can sit at home and practice. Visit the website of yours and see if they do something similar. Jim

Welcome Rory. Bob F did some cracking GPS and Fish Finder demonstrations a while back. We may be able to get him to do some again. He certainly knows his stuff. Jim

Welcome to the club Mike. I was the fat bloke nipping between the Bar and the Loo Jim

You ought to see the PM I got from the chairman ! I'm not sure if I Dare post it. It's Wicked !

Have the newer members looked at the status of other members ? Mine is " Shark Chaser " Wicked ! Anyone who doesn't know me would think I know what I'm doing. - Wrong ! The status comes from the number of posts you have posted. I am proof that you can work your way to the top by talking crap !! Lukilly, I am learning from the real " Shark Chasers " Thanks to all who take part in this great club. Jim

Quote: Brian " If you Google it, you'll find the ritual, it's something like a pint of beer for every club member at the next meeting " What a Cracking re-naming ritual ! You need a job on the committee Brian. - We need someone at the helm for next year's open.

10 minutes ? I'm impressed Adam. I don't suppose you fancy coming and doing a demo on Small Fry do ya ? I'll provide the tea & sandwiches. It'd probably be finished by the time I'd boiled the kettle.

Small Fry has a few Rust stains. The first owners used a few cheap bolts. I'll give this stuff a try. Thanks Paul.

You owe me a Beer.

People do say that it's unlucky to change the name of a boat, Walk under a ladder, go to the pub on Friday the 13th etc. etc. etc. Are you superstitious ? I had Small Fry's name done by Ressell Hamilton at Elite Signs. Blandford Road near the lifting bridge. 33 Blandford Road Poole, BH15 4AT 01202 674496 www.elitesigns.biz I was very happy with the service and would use them again. Jim

Thanks. Until now if I wanted to find a wreck, I had to go to Trent's Cheers. Jim

Jacquie is always stuck for Ideas for Christmas. I think a decent book is called for. One I can take out on Small Fry with me, and use as a reference. Thanks for the useful info Lads. Jim

Make sure I don't spill it Rob !
