look up solas regs they changed a few years ago and the rules apply to all craft not just commercial

a tasty bit of yankee kit need a thorough examination though as some american boats i looked at were a bit flimsy in the build otherwise ok if you can afford the fuel bills

tie the anchor rope at the stern , decidedly iffy may be ok on a big boat at slack water but in an 18footer in any tide a definate no no under any circumstance

or disconnect from the engine and give it a tickle with a mellet on the end to jar it loose

more likely to be stuck at the motor end helm is simple remove the cover plate off the back and the workings are there to see unusual for that to jam it normaly strips the teeth on the helm

best have another look the real story has been posted by the person concerned , it looks as though somebody was either confused or was making mischief (alegedly)

TRY ASAP supplies they keep a full range of carling switches which it looks like

you will love scuba but it does make the fishing seem a bit dull at times but a lot more dangerous , also very labour intensive with several hours prep and cleaning up for an hour under water and it aint cheap

gundrys do commercial mono also andy at wac does heavy traceline in sensible sized spools at reasonable money(also knots ok no need for horrible crimps)

i have yet to find anyone who raves about jets they have plus points but plenty of minuses to cost of mainteance being chief among them i know of a work boat that the top speed new was 20knots after 3 months use in the silty north sea was down to 12 knots and the boat metioned in weymouth has had a few problems and very expensive ones at that coupled to the high running costs the purchase price is very high too with a decent one for 2 to 300 hp costing upto 10k cant beat a traditional shaft and prop

this is a new series but they repeat the previous weeks episode at 9pm on tuesday before the new episode at 10pm

discovery channel now the deadliest catch worth a look

this may sound odd but make your own netting from mono some of the competitors in the world championships recently had their own nets made of mono that enabled them to net triple shots of bream without any chance of any of the hooks etc snagging the net

that rock does bite i have repaired an outdrive skeg that hit that baby a few times and also saw a triple engined sunseeker smash a drive clean off there best to keep 20 or 30 yards off the groin at low water or stay 200 yards off

i know of a raymarine e80 display for

have to make sure the eel is totaly knackered before gaffing in the bottom lip i had on of 55LB gaffed in the lower jaw during the weymouth conger festival it spun and tore itself off the gaff making a real mess of its jaw in the process so we had to keep it which was a pity so a net would seem the best option

call me picky if you will but wouldnt a radar be a good investment for such an eventuality

BUT will it catch any more fish

south of the needles by about 7 miles 120ft deep the pollack bank area should produce some

why not try for tope off the needles ?????? there are plenty of spots to try with the added possibility of big blonde rays etc
