Sorry, My Brother miscalculated. Another 19 slabs to lay at my mum's house. Can't leave him to do it on his own while I go fishing. Small Fry can't Come out to PLAY ! Jim

I'm thinking of going out, depending on the weather. If I do and you can change your opticians appointment, you are welcome aboard Small Fry. Jim

You DID post a good link for us ETec users. While we're on the subject, Where's the best place ( cheapest ) to by suitable 2 stroke oil for my ETec ? Anyone have any Ideas ? Jim

Thanks. All info is usefull. I'm gonna need to get my arms extended so I can tell people how big my fish were. Jim

See ! I keep saying I don't know what I'm doing. Where's a good spot for Bass out of Poole ? So I should go and get some Mackerel then ? Float or Ledger ? Drift or Anchor ? Never mind. It's just good to get out again ! ! ! ! Jim

Just looked at BBC Weather Sunny intervals - 18c - 9mph southerly wind. I'm still going. Anyway I've ordered the ragworms. Jim

Paul, I'll listen on Ch.6 to hear how many you're catching. You can come out on Small Fry another time maybe. See Ya, Jim

Simon. Another time perhaps. Jim

Right ! Here's one for Paul D. When I am logged in, there is nothing under Sinbad's reply. When I log out, There is something there. Now I may be old and simple, but what does LOL mean ? ? ? ? Jim

They've changed their minds again. Now it's Light Showers. Anyone up for it ? Jim

Thanks Dan. As no-one seems to be available to give me a bit of guidance, I COULD go out on my own. I was just about to throw it open to any inexperienced club member so they can learn how to NOT catch fish from me, and perhaps help to make a decision about choice of boat. But decided to re-check the weather. THE SWINES ! They've changed their minds. Earlier in the week they said it was going to be Hot & Sunny on Friday. Now it's going to be Heavy Showers. Bu*ger it ! I'll probably cancell now, depending on interest and a change of weather. Looks like it'll be Asda with my Mum again. Cheers for your offer Dan. Jim PS are you at the BARBIE ?

What ? Jim

Well done Paul, Added to my Favourites. Jim

I'm scared to move MY boat. She wants to plant spuds in THAT spot ! Thanks for all the usefull info Lads. Soon be Friday. Jim

( I will gladly return the favour if i spot any of you guys or you spot me always yell as i usually have a camera and a waterproof video on board (its the batteries that i usually forget). Simon L ) Simon, I have just fitted a cigarette lighter box ( 4 sockets ) to Small Fry. You could keep batteries charged with one of these if you can get the neccessary adaptors. Jim

Just looked back at Rob Francis's post. He has bought plastic \ composite tabs. I assume this will stop the corrosion of screws as well. When I set my tilt & trim to mid position and the sea is flat, If I open Small Fry Up she will do 32 mph acording to my GPS. The problem is that it keeps ( porpoising ) ( I think that's the right term ). The bow climbs and falling, giving an unstable ride. If I adjust with tilt & trim, It stops the porpoising but the steering gets heavy as F. That sounds like I need trim tabs I think Thanks again, Jim

Thanks pete. That's something I hadn't thought of. This annode business is quite complicated isn't it. Jim

I want to take Small Fry out on Friday Afternoon. I've got no idea about catching Bass. Does anyone with more idea than me fancy the afternoon afloat ? I'm looking to launch at Baitor Park at 1.30 pm ( ish. ) Return evening ( ish. ) 2 spaces available. Jim

Has anyone had problems with Trim Tabs? eg. Having to drill more holes or screws pulling out or _ or _ or _ or ? Jim

Small Fry is a Warrior 165 with a 75 HP E Tec As Rob says, It would be nice to get up on the plane in Poole Harbour within the speed limit. Does anyone have views on which would be best, Fins or Trim tabs ? Jim

Fame and Fortune at last ! Small Fry's up for it . As long as it's on a Weekend. Jim

Just got back from Zante ( Greece ) Leaking water tank in loft. Mum's slabs on front garden etc. etc. etc.

Made I laugh. Jim

Rig Lessones eh? I'll bring my specs.

Will Ya Marry Me ?
