Freddie

I have always used Mitchell’s 300, 306 and 386, they have never let me down in the last 50 odd years. Wash them down, lubricate them and they will last you a lifetime.

Thanks for that Jim. As I am staying in a campsite in Upton, Ian from Poole Towing has visited and fitted a new galvernised support strut for my trailer and is now shopping around for and fitting new wheel bearings. Would recommend Ian as he has been reliable, accommodating, helpful and has saved me a lot of time and hassle on my hols. 07802416525 is his number. PS: where have the macky gone? Plenty of bass though on Rappalas.

Hi guys, I have a problem with my trailer, so will need some parts. Has any one used Ian at Poole Towing in Upton? Any recommendations? Thanks. Derek

Hi Craig, Freddie and me are really sorry to hear this news. We have also had a bad few years and can assure you that the sun will shine again in your life. Hang in there and they do say that 'time does heal'. We look forward to seeing next year at Beacon Hill for a fishy bbq and brandy. Keep well. Freddie and Derek.

Hi Craig, Just tried to ring and text you but there's a digit missing on that number. Please text me your new mobile number. Chat soon. Derek

Sorry to read this Craig. Hope you get the money you ask for and a replacement sometime soon as we look forward to our fishy bbq's in Aug. Keep well. Freddie and Derek.

Maria signed it as well, so two more.

Very good. I will pass that on to my neighbour a HSBC manager in Canary Wharf.

Ouch!

Great pics and report again. Please keep them coming...

Happy Birthday Craig, we hope you had a lovely day and look forward to seeing you soon at Beacon Hill. Maria, Derek & Freddie.

Wow, great conditions. I could trick ski on that sea, catch some macky , 'n bass then home for a BBQ. My perfect day! Keep those reports coming, they are fab.

Great fish but I think I would have put it back so that Freddie can catch it's off spring.

Loved JH, would always watch him as a kid on a Sunday before the Big Match.

Great fish, well done, you will need alot of chips for that. V jealous!

Hi Craig, if it makes you feel any better, we have to wait until Aug to get out when we have 3 weeks at Beacon Hill. (did catch lots of crayfish in SA just before Xmas though) Happy New year to you and Jackie and we look forward to some more `pan fried` pollock fillets when we next meet. Keep well.

Really sorry to read this, just hope the insurance pays out ok. Am in Capetown SA as I write and if you think it's bad in the UK then it's nothing compared to here. My mate has to keep his boat in an alarmed/locked garage all the time as some of the locals are very light fingered. Keep 'em peeled as they used to say on TV. Freddie.

Really sorry to read this. Hope the insurer pays out ok and you can get back to normal v soon. Keep well and happy boating.

What do you think Craig? Should have put it back for Freddie to catch when it was a 15 pounder. Brains of a rockin' horse!!! DILLIGAFF.......

Great read and pics. Thanks for that. Keep them coming. Freddie.

I have used Towergate Mardon for 25 odd years now and they are competitively priced and very professional. The conditions of insurance for them are: your engine locked to the transom and that you always have a good wheel clamp on. (I use a hitch lock as well) Happy boating.... and tight lines.

Was it a `she`????

Very funny... luv her.
