Thanks Brian. He came and had a look around Tiddler. And now he'll look a lots more . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Welcome to the club as a full member Etian. Jim

Dave. You have a PM Jim

Hi Dave, I have a Westport Marine Pilot 4 with a Honda 50 Like this: I used to have a Warrior 165 The Pilot 4 is a good little boat but not the same animal as the Warrior. I downsized cos I'm old, fat, & unfit with dodgy knees. I can push this one around easily on the unbraked trailer. I still miss the Warrior though. You're welcome to take a look. I'm in Poole. PM me if you'd like a " Butchers " Jim

Happy Birthday Big Col. Jim

Well said Rob. See if you can get out on Members' boats or at least take a look at them. 14 feet is probably going to limit your choices. I expect Dave ( Coddy ) will supply you a link to his site. He did quite an in depth look at boats a few years ago. Good luck. Jim

Tiddler is a Westport marine Pilot 4 Like this one. I nearly bought a Quicksilver pilot 500 before my warrior. I was told by a dealer not to think it was going to behave like one of the bigger ones. I was told they don't sit still on the water and can make you feel sick due to trying to get all of the features from the bigger ones onto a small boat. Quite unstable? ? ? Never been on one though so I'm just saying what I was told. Jim I have the 50 Horses on mine and 30 MPH is available. ( But only when the water is flat )

Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Allan. I see you're fishing tomorrow. Tight lines. Jim

Saw Sea Start towing someone in and got this on my phone:

Happy Birthday Dogfish Dave. Beautiful day for it. Are you having the day off? Whatever you're doing . . . . . ENJOY Jim

Well done Rob. Jacqui & Myself were out in Tiddler on Saturday. Enjoyed the show & the weather.

Nice one Hooky.

Dodgy Characters eh Kam !

And of course we believe the Face ache apology ! Well done to Mr. Cullen.

Welcome to the club Matt, As I understood the rules . . . . . . . you CAN'T keep any Bass whether from boat or shore for the whole year. I expect I'll be corrected on this if I'm wrong. Anyway . . . . . . Have fun. there's other fish out there ( although I can never find them ) Jim

Happy Birthday to you. . . . . . . .Happy Birthday to you. . . . . . . .Happy Birthday to Lofty Happy Birthday to you. . . . . . . . There! You didn't know I could sing did you ?

That's an old picture ! I was still slim in them days !

Well done Hooky. You sure ain't a quitter !

I gave up coarse fishing about 24 years ago so I'm behind in what's current. We had to use barbless when I fished the carp pools.

Both sides of this argument carry weight. The Bass will be hammered by illegals whether boat or shore fished. The poor old sea fish never get a chance to learn because we catch them and eat them ( not doggies though ) Barbless hooks would mean they get that chance. ( good for the fish but not good for crap anglers like me ) I don't know what's best but we need to be careful not to destroy our seas.

And Me
