On my lewmar I have to use a special spanner for free running,didn't think I'd like the winch but getting use to it and its not to slow even when retrieving in 200ft of water

Johnny on my last boat I used/mounted a small bow roller to the top of the gunnel which just kept it away from the side of the hull,worked a treat

Oooooh bad shot....missed the bullseye

Ouch........but he will do anything to get "catch of the month"

With a slight window I managed to get out for a couple of hours and baits down at four.

Was only fishing light with quiver tips and spinning rods and bream rigs,bream and pollack straight away with various wrasse.Then tried small strips of macky on my 10ft 10-35g spinning rod with a moon fleet bream rig on and went and made a cuppa ,when made I looked round and line was stripping off the bait runner.I then had one hell of an enjoyable fight for 15 mins or so with the 10lb mono whistling away and me thinking I'm not going to see this but eventually I did and after what seemed an age from seeing it to the net a lovely 14.5lb undulate which once quickly weighed I put back ASAP as it must of been worn out.I was very pleased with landing it on that gear and impressed at Ian's rig.I caught 11 species in the three hours and knocked it on the head when I got overwhelmed with pout.

Oh and on the way back in at a steady 26knts I jumped out of my skin.........BANG.......................

And my seat sunk down to its stop So I made like a midget got two cushions and put them on the seat Stipped out when back and the airbag was split .....that's boats

After a phone call from a mate Gary..thanks Dan,he told me that a lot of American/Canadian built boats have a small filter fitted to the tank pickup because they normally fit petrol engines.

So after work in a bit of rain Stripped out and Bingo a tiny little gauze fitted to the end which was covered in small particles.....removed and launched .

Rebuilt and running I just had to try it And it is fine again in fact better than fine it's faster

Just have to sort the weather now otherwise I might have to use it to get to work

Thanks for the phone calls and advice guys

Thanks for the interest in my personal hygiene Rob But she's only been in about six weeks and the river doesn't weed up my bottom like a sea mooring

Nige

Adam....just looked at forecast ......unbelievable.....June!

Tomo cheers mate,but you know what it's like to have a boat that's not 100% ..plays on you're mind until its sorted,but I would LOVE a trip one day.....I'll bring the football for a game on deck if the fishings slow
