Tremendous report and I am sure condensed well. Thankyou for keeping us up to speed.

Well done Charlie, as Mal sayes if you didn’t have the knowledge you have it would no doubt of been far worse £££££. I have VP which I have discovered seem to really know how to charge crazy prices. Should I ever change my boat which I doubt I ever will, going with a more agricultural engine, like an Iveco would definitely be my choice, on a shaft, with a rope cutter. I chose VP and legs on advice that they were more fuel efficient, well, the cost of a complete service on the legs (first in five years, I stretched it!) was unbelievable, I think I could of taken my boat on a world cruise for the price!!!! I would strongly advise anybody thinking of buying a boat to chat to club members who have something similar, ie shaft/leg/outboard to the pros and cons. Especially those like Charlie and Chris who have brilliant engineering knowledge. CONGRATULATIONS Charlie your up and running, look out fish !!!!!!

I had hoped to go but unfortunately too much happening.

I hope to go, perhaps with Martins wallet😜😜🫣

Hi Graham, That sounds a good deal, but you may find it’s an older model🤷‍♂️ I am really not techy but get by when it’s something I am interested in. Someone who will give you a non biased view of a make and model is Ashley from Seatronix, he is a great help to me and on Wednesday we were chatting how Simrad is relatively complicated compared to Garmin and Lowrance. He sometimes can source a model at a very good price. Give him a ring and ask his opinion, he will fit etc at very reasonable price. 07725586766 Hope this helps

I have some IFCA ones but doubt I will get to the meeting unfortunately but pm me if Alan’s run out. I just bought a black one I have, a metre long and badly faded so thought I would replace it. Paid 9.99 and it was only 40cm for a beach box!!!!😡😡😡

I have learnt our top junior is William, so apologies William, well done grandad and look forward to seeing William feature in future Comps

WOW Well done everyone who entered and got out on the Bream Comp, 13 boats which I believe is the most entries we have had for a long time for any competition. Juniors, ladies, old codgers! They were all there, really great result and effort from lots of members. Seniors 1. Adam Franklyn 2lbs 12oz Gilthead Bream 2. Jenny James 2lbs 2oz Black Bream 3. Mal Thomas 2lbs Black Bream Juniors 1 Grahams grandson!!! 2lbs Black Bream ( a force to be reckoned with in the future!) 2 Blake Witheford 14oz Black Bream Congratulations all those who took part and especially those on the leader board. Let’s hope the enthusiasm continues and we can perhaps test the water with another comp or two in 2027

Hi Guys, Next weekend 13-14th is the Bream Competition, let’s hope these crazy winds will of subsided by then. Do get your names down for hopefully a good turnout.

Tremendous fish Mal, I see Trident charters down your way had two doubles this week, but not as big as yours!! Congratulations on returning a stunning fish to make many thousands more👍👍👍

Well done Martin, 100% again for your report, and you saved the day on Lulworth Banks. Looked stunning👍

Looking forward to your report Martin, sorry I couldn’t join you.
