Just got a Lowrance broadband fishfinder (HDS 7) to replace older gear, and wondering if anyone has recommendations as to location of transducer. Boat (Arvor 200) has a heavy keel, (does this cause shadow when in-hull mounting?) and shaft drive which causes disturbed water at transom. Any ideas? John

Welcome, love reading your reports John

superb report, very entertaining. John

Happy Birthday John

going to have another go next wednesday (30th). Good tide at 6.00pm in Burry Port. John

I will be updating my Simrad CE33 plotter/sounder soon, so that will be looking for a new home. Probably too old for your needs though. John

Despite staying overnight in a fleapit hotel near Burry Port harbour (near llanelli) in order to get the morning tide just right for loading the boat onto transport, the transport company failed to arrive!!!!!! Aaaaaargh!! Boat and I still stuck in South Wales. John

I am so envious, reading these posts, but at last, Moa'ki Warrior will be in Cobbs Quay to stay, on tuesday afternoon, even if I am still stuck in South Wales for a few more weeks. I hope to lean heavily on the experience of other club members, as the last time that I went boat fishing was nearly 40 years ago, before jelly shads and uptide fishing were invented. I am short on current boat experience too, but have a few certificates. John

Welcome Alan

lovely report, great reading. congrats on your day john

just got my ticket in post, discounted as OAP Going to go midweek, maybe thursday, see people about radar and tower to mount it. John

Congratulations, and all the best for the future angler John

sorry, wrong thread

thanks everyone. Really looking forward to being able to get down there.

Just to say hi to all here, I will be moving to Poole shortly, as I have retired from work, and hope to devote the remainder of my life to fishing and watching telly. I have a small angling boat, which is odd really, as I gave most of my tackle away a few years ago, so I will have to start buying again. I will rely heavily on club members to show me the best marks, as I have never boat fished the Poole area. I used to fish out of newhaven before I moved to wales 35 years ago, so I am very out of practice. by the way, my name is John
