I was wading out on the mudeford sandbars at low water yesterday doing a bit of flyfishing when i came across these guys coming in against a very strong ebb. They took it in their stride, never broke a sweat and they seem to get in easier than those that were engine powered.

no there aint, i've got it firmly in my mitts PJ

Nice one Antony, indeed thats a stonker cheers PJ

Happy birthday Dom all the best PJ

Steve, I started out with a very similar setup. It's important to know the boat and engine limitations and like you say know the weather. There are plenty of fish in the harbour and close to the shore so there is really no need to push the limits and head for the horizon ( suppress those urges for safetys sake) it's still earlyseason but there will be fish right under your nose for weather/tides i use Windguru .com ( select avon beach) and easytide. The two main bits that can catch you out will be the Mudeford enterance and the Hengistbury Head Groyne areas which can chop up at times. I have fished the ledge ( 1-2 miles out)in such a set up but only in flat calm conditions and on neap tides Hope this helps PJ

Welcome Andy PJ

Knowing our webmaster he'll probably post live action via his laptop somehow PJ

I've got one of those brackets and they work very well. I got mine from livebait larrys in the USA but it was expensive with the postage The angle allows you to keep pumping water through the tank while underway PJ

Well done guys, thats some compliment from a top skipper PJ
