Thanks everyone - just got home after a slap-up at the Guildhall Tavern. What a nosh.

Thanks Nigel, very observant of you - although I have no idea what you mean.

Neal kindly invited me out with him on Court Jester. We tried various spots in ther harbour and I was fortunate to find a small plaice of 9.5 oz. Drifts near the swash gave us no target species but a nice tub of 2lb to yours truly. Neal took us out to some offshore banks where we hoped for rays. Sport was slow but we found a mix of fish, sadly no large target species. Neal hooked into something which he was unable to declare, but it looked like a guitar fish when it surfaced - a double shot - small blonde ray and small turbot. The turbot went 2.5lbs. Later Neal reeled in an undulate of 4.5lbs and I managed a blonde of 3.5lbs. That was it for target fish but I was fortunate to find three black bream - biggest went just over 3lbs and a red gurnard of a pound. Another enjoyable day afloat.

Miserable time for you. If you're prepared to go public, possibly with pics, try the Poole office of the Echo on 01202 675413 - one reporter there is Di Henderson.

Sorry to hear that PJ. Best of luck with the op.

Not noticed PJ - are you sure you haven't got water on the brain?

A guy is 72 years old and loves to fish. He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, 'Pick me up.' He looked around and couldn't see anyone. He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again, 'Pick me up.' He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog. The man said, 'Are you talking to me?' The frog said, 'Yes, I'm talking to you.' Pick me up, then kiss me; and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous, because I will be your bride!' The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully and placed it in his shirt pocket. The frog said, 'What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said?' I said, 'Kiss me, and I will be your beautiful bride.' He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, 'Nah. At my age, I'd rather have a talking frog.' With age comes wisdom.

Who delivers your loo roll Mal - Eddie Stobart?

What a memorable session - with pictures as usual too. Very well done.

Great report and great read - thanks.

Belated best wishes to you both. I suspect the Purbeck breeze blew off a few cobwebs Alun.

Neatly done Nigel - excelllent varied session. Pity about the whoopie cushion - just as well you weren't in mixed company.
