Trevor, If you can get suitable netting, I for one would also be interested, since I have one of the Snowbee nets on my landing net at the moment butr the netting could do with being coarser and the net size could do with being bigger ( for that elusive monster fish ! )

Alun, I will unfortunately not be going out on Sunday now, so next fishing trip will be the comp.

Sam, It's not the crabbers, I have had the misfortune to have to listen to the guys that Adam is on about. Going on and on and on ..... How they can complain about us is beyond a joke. They must be miffed that we use their own personal channel as well.

Looking like I will be able to go out from Mudeford on Sunday ( 75% probable ). I currently have no crew ( and a Mudeford launch is tricky for me whjen crewless ), so anyone available at short notice ( will know if going on Saturday ) ? PM me if interested. Probably 9AM ish launch and back for around 3 PM ( fishing dependant ). Looking to get to Needles or the ledge for Bass / Whiting and maybe Cod.

Harry, Tag along, there should be a small flotilla of boats around and you are more than welcome to try some of the areas out we will be trying ( I don't fish Poole that much myself, so not expecting to be catching too much - but you never know ). I run an Orkney 520 which doesnt steam too fast ( approx 15 knots max ) so you will have no problem keeping up if you decide to follow me.

Congratulations on the cod Kam. Still looking to get out, let alone catching a cod !

Rich, Could you PM me your address and I will drop the lead off tomorrow on the way back from work. ( Say 5 PM ish ). cheers Paul

No problem Gordon. Glad you enjoyed my company, although I am sure I watched Notts Forest play Bournemouth yesterday

I needed a trim fin anode that fits onto the Honda as my existing one was getting well corroded. A search on the net and I found these people :- AH LAtham Marine A quick search of their site I found one for

That is some fish. Astounding.

I will - although need to get Gordon or Paul J ( or anyone else ! ) to crew.

Rich, I have a lump of lead that I have been iching to turn into weights. How about I drop it around one day next week and take a gander at your PC at the same time ? I could do with a selection of bopedo weights ( 12 oz being the most used ) Paul

I have Have sent to Martin.

Woa woa !! The question to ask is does it have a PCI video card slot or does it have an AGP port ( that is what you want ) and what model of video card does it have ? With regard to the amount of RAM on the video card, this will determine the maximum resolution / color depth that can be displayed by the card - not necessarily the speed. The speed of the card will depend upon the processor used on the graphics card and to a smaller degree the type of RAM on the card. Also depends upon what games you will be playing. Given that the PC has an Athlon XP1800, I would bet it does have an AGP port, so sounds a good price ( I will take my commission later Gordon ). Does it have USB ports ? Is the RAM SDRAM or DDR RAM ( faster ) ? Finally, from the decription of your existing PC Rich, I think you could do far worst than get it

On the streets of USA

I wear neoprene gloves in the winter. Get ones with the foldable finger tips - I have had no problem with them.

Welcome Tom, nice to meet you at the meeting too. - I hope you find the club as useful as I have since I joined. Paul

I just love the way he assumes that it is necessary to catch 20 or 30 dogfish in a 6 hour period without checking the facts first. It's not for me to say how you should organise your competitions .... but I am going to anyway

Duncan, You have got a point there ( having read the thread ) ! Let me know if you want the one I assume I have acquired and I will see what New Milton comes up with. cheers Paul

A couple were invited to a swanky family masked fancy Dress Halloween party. The wife got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone. He, being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time to be spoiled by not going. So he took his costume and away he went. The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, woke without pain and as it was still early, decided to go to the party. As her husband didn't know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him. So she joined the party and soon spotted her husband in his costume, cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice "chick" he could and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there. His wife went up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his new partner high and dry and devoted his time to her. She let him go as far as he wished, naturally, since he was her husband. After more drinks he finally he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the Car and had passionate intercourse in the back seat. Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away and went home and put the costume away and She was sitting up reading when he came in so she asked what kind of time he had. "Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there." Then she asked, "Did you dance much?" He replied, "I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the spare room and played poker all evening." "You must have looked really silly wearing that costume playing poker all night!" she said with unashamed sarcasm. To which the husband replied, "Actually, I gave my costume to your Dad, apparently he had the time of his life."

If still available I would be more than happy to take the other please.
