Kingfisher 126

Birthday Greetings Ian, I suspect a beer or ten may be involved later! Enjoy the day.

I have one of these in my loft, as Martin said you could spend a fortune on them. One thing was you could get a signal anywhere in the Channel with one unlike now!

1. Tigerfish - Steve + Terry + Graham 2. Reel Magic - Dave + 3. Joint Venture - Adam + Ian + Alun + Rob (i have taken the liberty to add the usual A-Team) 4. Madness - Martin - Dean - Tony 5. Sweet Chariot - Oli + Nick + 6. Kingfisher - Chris (looking at 5th - 8th May due to commitments)

I had battery issues on the last trip and rang Mainbrace on the way in, they got the batteries to the quayside, took the old ones away and even had the card machine with them to save me having to go to the shop. Price was good too. Now that's what you call a great service and going the extra mile, forgot to say it was after hours too. 👍👍 Only problem was it meant we had more time in the bar!! Small sacrifice. 🍺🍺

Happy Birthday Dave, what no fishing? 🎣😂

Kingfisher going for a trip out to see what we can find, thanks for update Dave sounds like there's a need to push on out if the weather is kind.

Greetings Kev, hope the steak and champers went down well, how the other half live!!! 🎂🎂🥂

If the rope is too long it gets caught around your bow at times and if not careful can make the anchor rope go under the boat, not good. As Rob says shorter the rope the better. Always best to see how someone does it to be on the safe side.

Andy has confirmed he is running the comp tomorrow.

There is something wrong with that Doombar, I've never seen a pint stay in a glass that long!! Just got in from work and could do with one to help me sleep!!! 👍👍

Happy Birthday Neal have a good one. Clever of Jim to get candles with stripes on, add up all the stripes somewhere near right!!! Big cake required next year!!

That's handy Martin next time we go out you can drive!!!! ;) ;)

Very sad news, Gill has been battling illness for a long time. RIP Gill.

No problem Jerry that's what why we are in the club glad to help. Myself and Blake had a good run on the first mark with a new species, conger roo's instead of eels!! Blake couldn't remember their name. ;) Had them to 30lb plus which made him jump when he looked over the side and saw them. Lost something big that straightened a hook. Moved into Swanage bay out of the tide with a run of rays of four species and doggies of course. On the way in a quick try on a new mark but lack of tide only produced doggies so anchor up at 3pm and a chat to Jerry and Jerry 2 on the way in. A bonus day that Blake handled well considering the cold, he will be coming to Norway by the time he's ten! ;)

Was that taken at the last weigh in Jim? ;)

If anyone what's a scanned copy from the Echo for their kids PM me your email address and I will send it to you. Great for school projects.

I've scanned it TONY I will email you a copy.

Well done Stuie and co great write up, Blake thinks he's a superstar now! .
