Ur welcome Chris...... Dave

Blimey Paul......where do you find the time ??? Dave

Chris Try these for size.......I got mine at IN XCESS but they are Fladen part No 15-890L and believe me they are detachable. http://www.tacklebargains.co.uk/acatalog/F...-Pack-of-6.html Dave

"ps I'm assuming that you are old enough to remember Pinky and Perky? I think most here probably are! "" OOOOOhhhhh !!!!! How we managed to get 2 pages out of this thread I don't know !!! Welcome again Paul.....Look forward to catching you at the bar with all the moths out for a second time this month....Ho Ho Ho !! Dave

Huh......Man can't read .......some chance of him getting to the meeting !!!! even less of getting him to the bar !!!! Dave

Welcome Paul I second Rob's post.......pop into the club meet at about 7.30......chance to see who you joined and have a cheap beer before and after the meeting. you get the chance to ask Q's face to face ......answers and advice will flow !!! Dave

I was at the New Forest Show on Wednesday and left a set of posters with the BHG Marine (based in Lymington). I was promised that they would be displayed at the NFshow and back at the BHG showroom in Lymington. Dealers in all kinds of marine "play things" as well as the usual marine services. Seemed to have loads of inflatable Kyaks......outboards and Orkneys, open boats and inflatables. I said I would put this on the forum ......so here it is. Dave

Bump this one as the hour approaches !! Dave

Would have done Paul if I had seen the post soon enough !! Next time .... Dave

Jim....... Have done mate.......will do again.......He is already focussed on what he wants to do.....just needs the opportunity to get on with it. I have mentioned " strings to bows " too.....but needs to be same genre. Dave...... Have said to visit and show a face to some-one at RNLI......as well as take CV and written request. I believe in a face stirring the memory should an opening occur. ALL ideas gratefully received !!!! Thanks Lads Dave

Hi All Louis is a young man approaching 17 who has completed an NVQ and City and Guilds level 2 in Marine Engineering. He spent the last year at the Marine Skills Centre at Poole. He has worked at RIBS in Xchurch, Berthon boats at Lymington (work exp) and Offshore Performance Poole. He wants to continue onwards and upwards to level 3 and PARAGON COLLEGE at Poole have promised him a place in September.........IF HE CAN GET AN APPRENTICESHIP in the marine engineering environment. He is living at home in the Ringwood area but I think anywhere between Southampton and Weymouth would be accessible. Not sure if boat builders take on Marine Engineer apprentices but that is another possible source of work for him !! ANYONE in the know of any possibilities ....... a nod in the right direction would be gratefully received. Here's hoping !!! Dave

Brian,,,,,,,I had a few hours out on the Swash and Hook Sands.......drifting for the spotty things !! Had two small bream and two small bass about a 1lb.......freed to fight another day !! Ended the day on a bad note too.......pull cord and recoil spring all in one pull !!.....don't know my own strength.....didn't think I still had it in me !! Either way an expensive end to the rather non productive day !! Hey ho.....such is life on the water!! Dave

OOhhhh my !!! Hope you have a great and safe trip ..... can't wait for the pics.. Enjoy !! Dave

Jim's never 250lb Rob...... think you must be exaggerating.....Is he ???? Dave

Didn't miss much Charlie.....bit like ballerinas being chased around the pitch by lumberjacks.....Then a goal, when all the ballerinas kissed......game over !!! Dave

Nice one Adam.....What a weekend it has been.....I bet the Weymouth flotilla had a ball......Looking forward to the reports !!! I didn't go that far.....just to Swanage ....but had a nice meal and a great day with friends .....no fishing involved !!! Roll on "Family day" for more of the same..... Dave

James Fantastic report and pics......thanks....BUT to echo the others.....I have had some wingers along there when on friends boats in the past....Seemingly comes out of nowhere !!! one minute consistent conditions and plain sailing .....then "wham" into rips and turmoil and even when the wind is moderate.... thumping hulls .... not nice under sail or in a 23+ m/c so goodness knows what it would be like in a yak. Take care.....be safe Dave

Mad Mad Mad .......but hey it sounds like you had fun.!! Bet ur arms aches tomorrow James !!! Who among you had time to take Photos in that washing machine !!! Absolutely barkin' Well done on the fish front though !! Dave

What an offer Adam....... been said many times....Great club....great people in it !! Dave

Adam.........do I assume my 0.5 oz on the maccy will not count......though looking at some of the rest ur probably right . What size is a specimen Maccy ????!! Ha Ha Dave

Absolutely appalling.....I fished both Sat and Sun for about 5 hrs each day and have caught just 4 fish......2 Bream 1 Ballan and 1 maccy.......Alas the only one I can record for the 48hr is Mackerel.....10.5 oz because I was fishing alone the rest of the time.. Dave

Echo the cangrats Paul.......Fishing seems to be getting hard at the mo.....very slow.....and with the windy weather, chilly N & NE it does nothing for the day !! Well done lads... Dave

Mick.....Ur right ......should've stayed out fishing !!! Anyway.......Pollacks would be good for the bar B .....not as nice as maccy, but fish. Maccy fishing is strange so far for me this year........so hit and miss....almost like they are not shoaling......the odd one or 3 then nothing !!! Better luck next time out mate Dave
