Lucky I got it wrong ! Would've needed a sex change op to get something right ! Yes you are right Charlie. " Silly old Duffer "

My personal view: Those canopies are no good for our weather. The cold wind goes straight through them. Asking this kind of question will get lots of response. "Which boat" is about your own wants & needs. AND budget. Everything's a compromise. For a couple of grand more you could have . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Merry fishers are very popular in the club. I'm personally a big fan of the Barracuda although I can't afford one. It's a shame the boat show's been cancelled. It's a great place to see what's out there. Enjoy your quest. Your head will be spinning. Ask if you can view members' boats. We're all friendly. Jim

Well said Matt. Jim

Nice! Just " Googled " it. Glad to see good service getting the well deserved rewards. Jim

Nice one Kam

Thanks Martin.

Good thread Adam. Very wise words to remind us all. Stay cool.

It'll grow back!

Great! I see you cut his hair with the Black & Decker hedge trimmers then

Happy Birthday Neil, I hope you've had a good one. Perhaps a slice of cake and cold beer? Jim

Tot Zeins !

If only! You would think so being on furlough but not true. I think the wives have a secret network of ideas to stop us getting up to mischief!

Here Steve, Yours was 18MB This is 2½ MB What is it with iphones? The videos are always on their side and need to be rotated ? ? ? ? Jim Lofty 01.mp4

Similar thing with a salesman in Poole centre. I went to Anglesey to buy something he told me were not available. ( He's not there anymore ) ( Nothing to do with me )

Charlie : It is now ! Mick: Just Me I think. Jacqui & Myself were out Today as well. Lovely day. We went over Swanage bay for the shelter from the breeze but she got soaked by the spray on the way back. I explained that if we had a Barracuda she wouldn't be getting wet. I can't put on here what she said but I think she was saying NO! Jacqui took the helm out as far as Old Harry on the way out then brought us back through the Harbour. The odd wave came over the cuddy so I went inside to keep the nose down for her

Very good Steve.

A day out on Serenity, Sat 11th July 2020 I was lucky enough to get a trip on Serenity. Nice lazy start. Meet at 9:00 am at Cobb's I got there at 8:45 and waited for Tony. Got a call at 9 asking where I was? ? ? Tony was already on the boat and raring to go. Low tide so no need for bridge lift so off we went. Followed through Holes Bay by Fisheagle. I think they were going for some more species to add to the tally. Tony & myself were out for a " Jolly " and maybe a few for his species tally too. Started at the "Secret Ray mark" which already had some boats on it. Happy Hooker being one of them. Tony had a Small eyed and some Mackerel. I had a Red Gurnard of 1lb 14oz which Tony tells me is a good one. I explained how it was all down to the skill of the angler. Tony followed with a Blonde. Can't remember the weight ? ? ? Then a Small eyed. . . . weight? ? Holy Mackerel put a call out on the radio which had me completely fooled about Triggers being caught between the piers. What I didn't know was it was Jan and I could see him on Happy Hooker. Fisheagle came over for a while before going off in search of more species. We decided to head over towards the Patch / Piers area but the wind had moved around to SW and much stronger than forecast so although we COULD have fished it we decided to head back into the lea of the wind. Tried a few marks along the way without success and ended up near where we started. I had a Small Eyed 7lbs ish I think and Tony had a small Starry Smoothie. We called it a day after I'd caught a few more Mackerel to take home. Followed Ci-Ci in through Holes Bay. Nipped in the club house for a socially distanced "swift half" Lovely day out.

Many salesmen have fallen foul of me for that one Martin.

Yes Greg but only a little one. Ben: reminds me of Me as a lad. Only had a few pike but they don't half go! Great photo.
