Farming doesn't seem that bad after all then Martin 😁 Greg

Happy Birthday Tony Hope you have a great day.

Plaice and Flounder off of the menu then !!!

Let's hope this is not too major. One blessing is that the weather is stable for the clean up operation for both today and tomorrow. If this would of happened later in the week then a clean up would have been very difficult. Let's hope Witch Farm really does have this under control which I suspect they will do. 🤞

Bugger, I had Swordfish at the Italian Restaurant last night. Well, at least I thought I did 🤫

So sad. Apparently heard on the news this morning that Trophy hunters have taken the shark away prior to the fish being able to be inspected to find out the cause of death!!

I know this is not boat related but I have quite a bit of petrol in the garage that I put in the mower. As this is now one year old (approx) can I refresh it by adding a fuel stabiliser such as Mountfeild Fuel Stabiliser to use in the mower ? If not any suggestions? Cheers Greg

Ditto Mal I am in big trouble for belly laughing at the joke as I read it out to my wife word for word 😁😁

Glad I wasn't the only one !!!!!

Hi Charlie No problem. Nikon Prostaff P3 10x42 7.0 Waterproof ( Not Saltwater Proof) Actually, just put them next to my RSPB ones and they are the same height but thinner. I guess that makes them compact!!!!! Miss sold again !!!! I will still bring them along though Greg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Likewise Charlie, Going on holiday this year and our hotel is on the edge of a rainforest. So I had a a pair of compact Bins (Nikon) bought from Jessops Circa £189.00 for my Birthday a couple of weeks ago. Although they say they are compact I would a say they are about three quarter size of a normal pair so not massively compact. However, the Zoom is amazing and far out perform my full size RSPB pair. Happy to bring them along to the Meeting tomorrow night if you want to have a look? Let me know? Greg

I've been rumbled !!!!! Thanks Neil 😁

Thank you guys for all your kind wishes. Had a lazy day off and went out to dinner tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

May I suggest before you start discussing the rules and regs (and who or who not is going to be charged to enter etc) that you see if there is enough club junior participants to make it viable for a comp. Brian used to publish a list of juniors who were part of the family membership group. Once that has been established, then you can evaluate whether the comp is viable with club junior numbers. And as I suspect that there may not be enough take up from club member's juniors, then open it up to non member juniors who are closely associated with the club (i.e club member's friends and relatives juniors) I personally agree not to charge an entry fee at all. If all the numbers stack up then a dedicated club member parent would need to take charge and organise the comp (like what happened in the past) as they have a vested interest for it's success. Speaking from experience, it does take a lot of organising, however if successful, it is very rewarding. PS - Unless I am mistaken, I believe the maximum age a junior could be was up to the age of 16 Years ????

Good shout Neil. I have fond memories of being involved with the kids comps and they were great fun. I will be happy to donate a Rod and Real for a prize. Greg

Hi Pete Good to talk to you last night. Well done for getting onto the Forum. Ask away anything you want help with. There is always members partaking on the Forum daily. Greg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well done Martin. Glad it all worked out. Hope you are able to get out on a slacker tide. Greg

I believe drifting for Whiting is not very productive. We fished the outer Sadler Banks and caught more fish than we could cope with at anchor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alternatively Martin Strips of squid work equally as well And yes on the bottom. I use a one down and two up rig. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice of you to be so supportive Jim 😔

Thanks for the update Mick BTW “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” Not rally much of a lifestyle at the moment trying to keep up with the cost of living !!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyway, Bit difficult for our boats at Cobbs to get out at the moment as the Twin Sails Bridge is permanently down due to damage and repairs. So I could not get out if I wanted to. Good luck to everyone else Greg

Wish I could, working 7 days a week for all of January 😒

Well Steve, You could write that Chris was the Star performer 🤣🤣

Enjoy !!
