Kingfisher 126

Martin can you delete the last line in Ian's reply and we will see on Saturday night what she is really like by the size of his black eyes!!!

We had a very similar day, the wind was bitter this morning even some winter warmers we're put on! We had 11 species in total 7 new for this year. I had a dreadful day with 2 species, pout and LSD. A few of each. Lester had a worse day with 1 species, Ballon Wrasse had a couple! Mal had a good day with a steady run of fish once they started. 6 Species. Pout, Whiting, Rock cook wrasse, Goldsinney wrasse, Ballon wrasse and a late plaice. Dogfish never stopped once again 10 species, LSD, Goldsinney, Whiting, Black bream, Tompot blenney, Pout, Pollock, Corkwing, Ballon and Rock cook. Well fished Dave in less than ideal conditions.

Hi Sam, I am not sure if you are aware there is a BBQ area at Cobbs that can be privately booked at no cost for berth holders. An enquiry has been made and I was given the green light if you want to use it for the Kids Comp. (There may be other openings there too). The area will be clean and tidy with plenty of seating etc so it may help out. Just a thought. Chris

Have a good day Jim, Enjoy.

Not a problem Steve, any time. Great set of guys, a few going quite a way out until it started to kick up. Some had up to 15 fish when we were chatting to them, one guy caught 3 fish while we chatted with him! We had a dangle at times which produced a plaice of a few oz's. The guys have a serious amount of kit they use and I have to say all were fully kitted out for safety. Well done Steve on organising, it will only grow and grow.

Hi Steve No problem, just PM me your address or text me it. 07739018279 Do you want the mount too £60 the pair? Cheers, Chris

Steve There is no number registered in it. the Ariel I have is for FM radio. Chris

Adam They are oval 6" x 9", hole size around 160mm x 230mm

Steve I will connect it up and see if there is a number in it. I do have a new ariel just need to check if its a VHF or FM.

Have a good day Adam, all the new toys as presents???

Hi Steve If the £10 bag of gear is still available can I have it please.

Hi Steve, If floats still available can I buy please.

Well done Lofty good result, shame about the bag going missing. Do you still want me as a safety boat cover, if so I will provide a bit of brekkie and hot drinks if required.

Happy Birthday Ben, He could have one on each foot Nige!!! See him go then!!

Well fished Nige, hope your nights in Brighton haven't changed you!!! Are you saying you are looking at moving already???

Well done Nige, didn't take you long to start hammering our fish!! We only had one bite!! (Not sure why this ended up in this thread!!)

Happy birthday Dan

Fitted a new toy on the boat, Raymarine Down vision plotter / sounder. I was going to fit a Garmin version but cost was alot more than Raymarine. The reviews looked good too. Kev (I'm in) found a company online and a discount for two units soon agreed. Dealing with them has been a real pleasure, always turned up on time and nothing seems too much trouble and Andy the engineer is a very knowledgable guy. Stephanie in the office knows her stuff too! Units fitted and tested and they look the business, can't wait to get playing with it over the wrecks etc! So if anyone is looking for guidance on electronics etc give them a shout. http://www.meiltd.co.uk/Home.aspx

Having a tracker on Sweet Pea may be a big help as well Mal with all your secret marks!!!!
