Hi Allan, im a christchurch regular also and have seen you about on the water. I have the Boston Whaler named "Marineboy" see you out there- soon as the weather behaves itself Paul J

I was out just testing out my live well pump, it's bracket is set to force water up to the well while on the move with the pump switched off. It works! I had a few fresh mackeral to waste so i sat on the corner of the run for a hour and had a nap. The RNLI took two ribs out to play and then this guy kept driving his vechicle up and down the harbour about six times. i can't think why unless it was some kind of drill Paul J

Nice one Adam=i'll come with you next time pj

Mike, yours is probably too Salty! to work

try leaving your old tobys and spinners in to soak PJ

Kam, Your welcome to come and have a go on my Whaler. you have to dress like an artic explorer this time of year though. Paul J

Looks like we gotta convoy- how did that song go? Paul J

There was a suggestion that some of the side channels will get silted up and there would be a loss of some moorings. Time will tell PJ

Welcome! i wonder who will be number 200 and what should we do to them?

Brilliant fred you do have the best stories, good old Tom, he's our very own" old man of the sea" bless him PJ

Markee, We saw your boat today while out with Tom on the training day- she's a beauty i bet you can wait to get going! Paul J

Trev, you got a pm cheers Paul J

Happy Birthday Duncan hope it gets better soon Paul J

I knew someone was going too say that and your probably not wrong. What size is realistic to keep xxxx amount of mackeral?. i know its a compromise over space , weight and capacity to keep the fish alive. i do want to be able to keep the fish healthy and have room for up to 18in in diameter. you don't fill up the barrell so the capacity has to be considered in usable galllons Perhaps those with bait wells can advise? Cheers Paul

Trev, im looking for 30gal 18 x 18 x 20 high approx White would be pref but not too fussed let me know cheers Paul J

Remind me where the barrels were obtained? im getting my set up organised at the Mo cheers Paul J

Jungle hooks is interesting, theres a new series on India coming up PJ
