Looks amazing Adam - well done guys I really look forward to seeing her in the flesh Mike

Plenty of bass for us this morning on live prawn and lures but nothing over 3 pounds - I have struggled to find the bigger bass this year with just one good one of over 7 pounds a few weeks ago. Mike

I'll be out inshore with my brother Dave on my aluminium boat Grajoe on Saturday. I have just caught a few bass this evening but nothing big tonight. Mike

That's a cracker Dan - well done. I'm just off for a go on the Stour at Sturminster - hope I find one even half that size. Either way it will be good to get out and will beat staring at the sea hoping the waves will die down!! Mike

Red mullet and gilthead in the same day - well done guys. I just hope the wind dies down as predicted on Thursday so I can get my kids out to get a few fish. Well done Rich - glad you got out with your son. Mike

Sounds like a great weekend Dan - well done. Any pictures of the roach? My target for the year is a 2 pounder but have not got close yet! Having another go on the River Stour this evening. Mike

I think this was raised last year so apologies if I should know this but for feathers, hokkais etc. how many hooks are we allowed to use? There was also some discussion as I recall about GULP synthetic baits etc. what was the ruling on those? Mike

I am hoping so Alan - this is the first week of my two week holiday and I have not been able to get the boat out yet - hoping to have my first go this afternoon and then a full day on the water tomorrow. Not looking great for next week either - very depressing Mike

I'll be out with my brother Dave (also a member) all being well. Mike

I'm taking some kids out mackerel fishing on Saturday but I may be able to sneek an hour or so on the bass so will enter the competition on the off chance. Mike

I have been off all week Adam - very depressing on the boating front. Glad you have made such good progress on your boat though. I am going to try for some trout tomorrow and then hoping for a chance to get out on the boat on Sunday morning. Mike

Dave and Mike Young will be out on Blue Boy all being well. I just hope the bream haven't moved in the last few weeks. Mike

Looks awesome - glad the trailer worked out OK. I am looking forward to seeing the progress over the coming weeks. Good luck guys Mike

My brother and I bought kayaks last year and they are great fun. We are not as adventurous as some of the guys on anglersafloat but we have had some good success close inshore for bass - great fun. This year I have pimped mine out with fishfinder, anchor trolley and nav light so hoping for some success on the long summer evenings to come. Mike
