When i get out there, and its gonna happen this year!! i'll give you a shout. I've not managed to get a lot of fishing in over the last year, so you could shine as a fisherman on my boat, even in flip-flops!! Simon L

can you put up a picture of the trailer you have currently and how much you are looking for as i'm in the market for a smallish trailer, nothing to swap though. Simon L

What camera are you using PJ, the image quality is amazing. Simon L

Right i'm outta here guys, heading out for my yearly pilgrimage to Key Largo to catch some pelagics (i hope) last reported weather was 81f and 1knt of wind, so a little bit better than here!!!! I'll try to post up some pictures whilst i'm out there if i get the time in between fish see you all just before Christmas. Simon L P.J. look at the bass pro web shop and let me know if you need any lures bringing back.

I'll be out trying my luck on a few wrecks for Pollock /Cod etc on Sunday, whats your plan if you want to buddy up? give me a shout when you firm up your plans. Simon L

i put all my cable ends into a ziplock bag with a silica gel pack, seems to keep everything dry and corrosion free. Simon L

PJ, the Lowrance distibutors are only in Romsey under the Navico banner now. NAVICO UK LTD PREMIER WAY ABBEY PARK ROMSEY HAMPSHIRE SO51 9DH +44 01794 510010 sales.uk@navico.com Are you on a red or a blue network and is the gps module the only item on your network? My guess is that you are on LGC2000 gps module with a blue connector, there were a lot of issues with that module have a look for a label on the bottom of it and see if it has the ESD protected sticker. Other things to try is to check the power to the NMEA network is present, find the "y" lead and look for the cable containing a red, black and shield and make sure you have got your 12v between the red/black. Also look at the 60ohm resistor end cap for corrosion and connection. There was also a software update for the LGC2000 that might be worth a try. My guess would be that the module has gone tech on you, if you have to replace it get an LGC3000 or 4000 and a lead to connect to your blue network, as the newer modules are built to survive better when flooded with radar signals, which is what caused the older ones to blow. http://www.lowrance.com/upload/Lowrance/Do...-021_020604.pdf If you need any help give me a shout!!!

Found these on some other sites thought they would be fun to post up. the second one is a "classic case of whats a lanyard" Simon L http://www.toughboats.com/video.cfm?fullsc..._BubbaCRevLegal

very correct Martin, and the fines can be up to

Happy birthday Gordon, have a drink for me!!! Simon L

Got to agree there PD, i bought 3 recently, any idea what makes them seconds? because i cant find anything wrong with them at all. Simon L

Be aware that as from april next year it is being proposed by VOSA that all trailers will have be tested every other year, capacity plated and carry a CE mark, so all your hard work may cost you a lot more bringing it up to regulation if that comes in. I think it would be money better spent buying yourself a decent second hand unit in the long run, because if VOSA get their way, and they will soon it will likely outlaw a lot of home made trailers overnight. Simon L

i can do, if at a weekend, but not all at once maybe between me and PJ we can get everyone out there. Simon L

Sundays going to be the much better day, i can feel it in my bones, not that i'm trying to influcence your decision you understand Standing by sir!!! Simon L

Charlie, I would be glad of a trip out on sunday for the cod, if thats what gives weather-wise, after last weekends fish drought and cancelled comp, it would be nice. Can't do saturday, working. let me know or give me a buzz. thanks Simon L
