Cut their f...ing hands off. Got a few reels if you need any till you get sorted. Colin

Well done Lofty a nice Flounder

Rag worm drifting end of training bank for Plaice Colin

Just to say I sent an email to this guy after the last meeting saying I might be interested. Didn't even get a reply. Colin

Thanks Paul. It has been recorded several times at and about the time of capture. Adam should have all details already. Colin

Yep Lumpsucker British record 10lb 12oz 10drms Club record vacant Hope you put it on the scales. They often turn up in Blood Alley Well done the species hunt is hotting up already you with a Lumpsucker and Dave E with his Lamprey. What next??????? Colin PS I see from your post you put the location, I expect White Magic is there already!!!!

I am planning to get out tues with John Dunster as crew (Bobi has to work) Not sure where to head yet all depends on weather and tide. Hope to head out a bit and get a few species to start Boblin off for this year. If you are out tues Adam, or anyone else of course, I will be listening on chn 6. Colin

I have just been browsing the records list and see that Bobi's Topknot has not been added to the newly updated list yet. She is saying it's sexism !!!! and I say it's an oversight ???? Colin This is the very Topknot

Boat jumble Canford next week. Always worth a look. Colin

Thanks Graham but looking for really cheap and rigid (shut up Jim!) as it will be staying on the water.

Hi all Does anyone have dinghy/tender for sale about 10' any condition considered cheap as possible. Ta. Colin

It was only a few weeks ago that we were trying to decide how to spend some of the clubs funds. I would like to propose that we as a club undertake to design and produce a leaflet/poster with nursery areas and size limits. These would then be distributed to all marinas, tackle shops, chandlers etc. in our areas. The club logo would be prominent and would show that we are serious about conservation and that we are prepared to put our money where our mouth is. Colin

Also the biggest fish isn't on the list. These damn computers never get things right do they. Colin

We were out for a short spin after spending the morning doing paper work. Good to see Little Sal. Not a bite but we did have a great cup of coffee. Who cares about the fish we were on the water which is what we love. Colin

Keep at it stue you will soon start bagging up. Don't forget to practice with the compass 'cos that still works when the electrics go down. If you are out on Sun give a shout we should be out if we finish the painting in the hall and dining room. Colin

I tried it with rag in the past but it didn't work they just froth up and go into a mushy mess. Colin

Before you salt your lug lay them on several layers of news paper and then prick each one several times with a baiting needle( or similar tool) then let the water drain out. Put them on fresh dry paper and salt each one, they will shrink up and go fairly hard (shut up Jim!!). Then wrap them in fresh dry news paper rolling them into 10's just like Black lug. They will keep quite some time like this or you can freeze them. You can cast this bait as hard as you like without blasting them up the beach. Good luck Colin

Good luck Stuie on your first trip out on your new boat enjoy it. Colin

I am with Towergate Marden cover for Elbe to Rochelle but had to ask. Had a quote from Porth Cawl similar prices for same type of cover . Saga was not as good cover. Colin

Happy Birthday to you both. Pete you are nearly as old as me now. Colin

We will be up for this too. I've only done wrecks on charters which is totaly different to driving yourself, so need to learn from the experts. Colin

Also found if shads/jellys get wet, they need to be kept seperated so individual bags are good. Dave Dave I find that if they DON'T get wet they DON'T catch anything Colin

I would add also make sure you have backup equipment. As we proved we needed it brand new radar went down, brand new horn went down. I have on board 2 steering compass' and a hand held compass, electric horn, a manual horn (lung power, being a trombone player I can out blow most electric horns ) 2 plotters, 2 fishfinders. Mind you I also learnt to keep things more tidy as I couldn't find the manual horn straight away when needed!! So I say back up and back up again. I was also lucky to have a very good crew who did all the right things at the right times. Thanks Rob gold star for you. As for going out hmmmm will have to wait and see. Maybe not. Colin P.s forgot to say I also have an echo max radar reflector which goes up on the radar mast under the radar but nice and high, which Rob had to remind me to hoist. another gold star for that man
