Reg, This is more like it ....You have to think Big http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http...2&ct=image&cd=1 Hope you do as well. I'd forget about the Spear if I was you . You'd probably only antagonise it Enjoy you Holiday Peteg

Brian, I've got the Bennett Hydraulic tabs on mine and wouldn't be without them. You can virtually play tunes with the boats handling and ride just by pressing a couple of switches. If you want a demonstration anytime contact me and we can sort something out. Peteg.

MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE NICKNAMES If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes. EATING OUT When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in

Must be below -8 C Don't see any Gritters Sweden nice this time of year Paul?

Done

Charlie, I've got the lighter gear which I normally use but if I'm having to use big leads in deep water I find that with 50lb braid on the ABU 20 and the harness et all I can virtually fish hands free. ......Even though the combo probably weighs as much as a Ten pin Bowling ball... I'm a lazy Bu$$er at heart Most of the modern smaller capacity (cheaper end of the market reels ) don't have the fittings to take the harness clips and I do like the lever drag on the old ABU its just the reel is sooooooooooo heeeeeeaaaaaaaavvvvvvvvyyyyyyyyy I don't use it much , in fact I don't use any of my tackle much Peteg

I've still got an old (1980's) glassfibre Uglystick "All Roller" 30lb class rod that I use for the "Heavy" fishing. I think its 6ft 6inch Its almost as good as new and probably unbreakable (as advertised) This in combination with an even older ABU20 lever drag reel with narrow chrome plated brass spool gives me the equivalent of a Crane to winch anything off the bottom. Th reel is so heavy that not only do I wear a butt pad but also a harness clipped to the reel supports. The rig then becomes very comfortable to use I Just look stupid when I only manage to reel in a whiting This reminds me I must get out fishing one of these days.

Alan, It seems we are of the same mind . I must give the boat a run she's been idle for too long. I was considering a run out to the patches to blow out the cobwebs and if nothing doing there returning to Holes Bay for a go at the flounders. That is unless someone has some inside information. Peteg

A Mexican woodpecker and a Canadian woodpecker were in Mexico arguing about which place had the toughest trees. The Mexican woodpecker claimed Mexico had a tree that no woodpecker could peck. The Canadian woodpecker accepted his challenge and promptly pecked a hole in the tree with no problem. The Mexican woodpecker was amazed. The Canadian woodpecker then challenged the Mexican woodpecker to peck a tree in Canada that was absolutely 'impeckable' (a term frequently used by woodpeckers ). The Mexican woodpecker expressed confidence that he could do it and accepted the challenge. The two flew to Canada where the Mexican woodpecker successfully pecked the so-called 'impeckable' tree almost without breaking a sweat. Both woodpeckers were now terribly confused. How is it that the Canadian woodpecker was able to peck the Mexican tree, and the Mexican woodpecker was able to peck the Canadian tree, yet neither was able to peck the tree in their own country? After much woodpecker pondering, they both came to the same conclusion: Apparently, your pecker gets harder when you're away from home Sorry Guys.....I got Bored!!

What about this for just over

Absolutely Wonderful Needs a wide distribution Peteg

There you go Dan I told you it was a load of Balls or Marbles

Ah the good old Electron Theory .......where electrons are displaced and holes move causing a "current flow" Easiest way to understand it is to think of that good old favourite "executive toy" the swinging balls. If the ball is swung to hit the first ball in the line then the ball at the other end is "Instantly" displaced causing a "hole" to appear for a fraction of a second into which the preceding ball travels thus filling up the space. Efectively we have a flow of holes followed by Balls from one end of the line to the other. Well I never really believed Electron Theory was anything other than a "load of Balls" in the first place Peteg

Found this browsing the internet http://www.ais-live.co.uk/AIS%20Live/aissolent.html Certainly gives you a lot of information What information update times are generally expected? What is actually dispayed on the plotter is it an overlay similar to that shown in link above or other? I must admit I hadn't previously considered AIS Peteg

How is it Dan always seems to catch the biggest fish?

Nice One Mike I was going after that one tomorrow Looks like you beat me to it so I won't bother now Cracking Fish Peteg

and the next givesyou a better idea of size It weighs around 7.7 kg

forgot to attach pic Try again

Pics didn't load I'll try again if no luck suggest you email me and I'll send them by return Peteg

Adam, The sizes of the 2 types you've mentioned are too small to meet standards. You need the largest size for of course much more dosh. Why spoil the ship for an "ha'peth of tar" Why not get the best performing passive around The Cyclops is the one to beat see http://www.northseanavigatorinc.com/tests.htm for details and contact the factory for prices and recommendations They may even have their new design available ....smaller cheaper and more powerful... although they may still be trialling materials Office is in Bognor Regis http://www.cyclopstech.co.uk/ I've got the cyclops 3 fitted to mine see pic.

Might be worth reporting those stats to the EU re the proposed Recreational Sea Angling Fish quotas The figures speak for themselves "Inshore Fishing is Rubbish!!"......compared to when I were a Lad.......... Mind You that was 45 years ago and where I fished there was absolutely NO inshore commercial trawling Peteg

Happy Birthday PJ Hope you had a good Christmas What do you reckon cod in the new year? Peteg

Great Result Guys Somehow I didn't think it would take you long to Christen the boat but First Trip and on the Dolphin Sands thats a pretty good result Merry Christmas One Asand ALL Peteg

Great Result Guys, Where did you end up fitting the fishfinder Transducer Bob? Transom mounted or Through Hull? Peteg

Get well soon Dan I always thought "Soccer" was a cissy's game didn't realise you could actually get properly injured. Make sure you take it easy for a while when you get "released" and let those ribs heal properly. Peteg
