Mike, I didn't make it Clear. I was out on Sunday. So it must have been someone else that I saw. I also forgot to mention the Fog. It came in very quickly and quite thick. Lasted about 20 mins then cleared again. SPOOKY ! Jim

Small Fry headed towards Poole Patch Today, With myself, my son Stephen and his Father -in -law Martin on board. We could see some boats in the distance. I started to count. - - - 1 - 2 - 3 -4 - 5 - 6 - I can see 7 boats I declared. We were doing 22 MPH and soon realised that it was nearer 12 boats ! As we joined the group we did another count and I think it was 17 boats in total ! Due to the fact that the only Aldernay Ring I have is in my Door Chime, We decided to drift through. Nothing - Not a sausage ! We headed off towards Boscombe Pier and then kept going, hoping that magical shoal of " Big Uns " would show up on my weed finder. We ended up at Hengistbury Head and anchored up not far from a PilotHouse boat who was also fishing. Martin had the first one, a good sized wrasse. ( we won't invite him again ) Then I had a wrasse. Then Martin a couple more. ( he's definately not coming again ) Whey-Hey Steve got a Mackerel on the feathers ( good lad - a nice bit of fresh bait ) We had more wrasse - a couple of small pollack and a few more mackerel. The wives phoned and said it was time to come home as Martin had to drive back to Warwickshire. We headed back past Poole Patch and saw loads of boats still there. We decided to have a few drifts past Brownsea Castle, which resulted in more Wrasse. I hooked something ( not planet earth ) which snapped my 15lb line. We had a great day and I am no longer a BLANKER ! Cheers. Jim

I think I'm gonna need a few more BEERS before I kiss this one lads !

I see Cinderella could'nt make it then !

Uh Oh ! The Ex Wife's here, Wanting the Maintainance Payments. Cheers. Jim

Hi, Small Fry will not be going, Due to: 1) other commitments and 2) my Warrior 165 is a bit big for my Hyundai Lantra to pull all that way. I did see the offer of a free tow but am not able to go this year. Good luck to all who do get out. Jim

Small Fry had a Great Day Out. We missed nearly all of the rain. Lost a few hooks. Caught Nothing. But really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the water warming up a bit. We saw quite a few club boats on our travels.

Yes Jim & Steve Davies are going to Fish in the Comp on 13-04-2008 We will be In " Small Fry " Looking Forward to it. Jim

I was in In Excess on the Ashley Road, Parkstone last weekend. They have a load of new tackle. Hooks, Line, Lures, Rods, Reels, etc. etc. Also some bouyancy aids. Worth a look if you need stuff for the weekend. Jim

Jim and Steve Davies will be out in Small Fry. ( Warrior 165 ) We have only just joined the club and have no Idea about competition rules, Logging in. etc. etc. All advice greatfully accepted. Looking forward to the next meeting and some GPS lessons. We have a Lowrance 3500c Thanks. Jim

I'll not Starve tonight then.

" Ey up Darlin, It's your Lucky Night ! " I've got a BIG ONE. ( Prety good from someone with a boat called Small Fry ! ) cheers, Jim
