Hi Martin Club members will get the same deal? Or the other way would be for the club members to club together and buy one large order, then I can deliver it when I go to Beaulieu. This way club member

Hi all Well that was a strange show! Sorry some of you didn

Alarm rings at 05:30, up and about and on Poole Quay for 6:50. Watched a Commercial potter loading bait to dump for another vessel that had broken down. After 2 mins decided to move up wind, that stuff stinks. All aboard (10 in total) and off we went. Very cold but the tea was flowing and the cabin warm. Got to our first wreck after about 1

All that exiting stuff!!!

Rick Steins last programme showed the fish in the markets and some were tiny. It appears that they keep all they catch and there is a market for these small fish. When you consider that the Dover lifeboat was called out to rescue a trawler which had snagged it's nets. The trawler was registered in Zeebruger. Is it me or are we being taken for mugs??????

Got a Charter trip Sat out od Poole so will post results after Cheers

Got a 580 and like it - it is a nice boat and goes through the water well. It is hard to launch though and a big boat to trailer (but not impossible) so we leave it on a swinging mooring. Deck space is limited but it accommodates 3 fising no problem. The 'white' can be a bit hard to keep clean! Personally, I would look at a 580 over a 500 as the 500's seem to 'bob' about more. I'm pleased with the boat and would recommend it to anyone as both a good angling boat and a family boat. I am out of the country until end March but would be willing to take you out on it when I get back. In the meantime, you can contact me by email if you want anymore info though.

After a year of the fox hunting ban the Independant are running a survey on banning fishing!!! http://comment.independent.co.uk/article318961.ece I have sent my response

Hey, no secrets, was fishing the gully that drains Blue Lagoon. Had 11 that day to 2lb14os. gave 7 to my bait man, keeps him happy & assures me good bait

I'm no expert but have checked the wreck locations with those in the book "Dorset Shipwrecks" by Steve Shovlar, a keen diver who has visited many of the wrecks. The locations are either spot on or the last digit is out plus or minus 1 so close I think. Hope that helps Neil

Gents, Thanks for the advice....Are there any restrictions in taking a boat past the Wareham bridge?

What to buy ? (for a Warrior 165) I dont know if Autopilots for fishingboats are common in England, but i

VERY INTERESTED IN PLOTTER DOES IT INCLUDE FITTINGS? IS IT ALSO A DEPTH SOUNDER?

Hi, Few questions..... Do you need a Rod License if you fish the lower tidal reaches of the Frome? I'm tend to look for flounder up there? Which club owns the rights ?, say before and after the Wareham bridge? Can you take a lillty boat past the wareham bridge and up? Do you know if you can catch pike/other coarse fish in the tidal reaches? Appreciate your help.....

Hi, Fished all yesterday for flounders down around wareham, without a sniff... Anybody else having any luck... My last 2 trips have drawn a blank Questions...wheres the best place for good size mullet in the harbour, any thoughs on technique/bait, time when there around?

Cheer's Bassman thought it might be worth raising the engine a knotch and you have confirmed my suspicions,will probably wait till next service and get the retailer to do it,free of charge he says,sorted. Thank's a lot for that,safe boating Jim

A word of warning Paul... All this extra power can be dangerous, so be careful out there!

Yes, Andy's boat. Been out with him twice before and caught pollack to 7lb, seen conger to 35lb and various rays and caught a 2lb squid beginning of Jan. Out with him again Apr, July and Aug. Will post catch reports then. Cheers

Independent observers can attest to the quality of Alun's cod, cooked brilliantly and preceded by equally delicious, delicate squid. Thanks for a good night Stuart

The salmon was from Pukavigen in sweden (16 kg). the ba***rd took 280 metres line before i could stop it -nice fight. On the same day we caught an even bigger one 18 kg I

YES - GOT IT !!!!!!!! In the end of the steeringcable theres a nut ( 14mm head) it was screwed on to tight. In fact this is the only part that have direct contact to the engine. And according to the local Tohatsu dealer you have to screw this nut tight, and then losen it one turn !. It worked !!. Thank you all. Onslow

Had a superb day near Portland on Silver Spray. After a quiet morning and a tiny whiting on an 8/0 hook we managed the following: Loads of whiting to just under 3lb Small spotted ray 10 - 12lb conger (returned) Estimated 18lb blonde ray to the 14 year old stood next to me (returned) Doggies Weather was great and fishing steady. Looking forward to the next trip Cheers Neil

Sorry for my last last reply. English is not my first language - and i had i few Jack D too....( it is cold here, but the salmons are BIG) Bob , do you have this plasticthing between motor and transom that Codfather described ?. Regards Onslow

Hi lads at last back from the most boring course in my life,thank's to everyone who took the trouble to reply,your input really is a great help with some good idea's. Thank's again Jim

I have bought myself a new Warrior 165 with 70hp Suzuki 4-stroke (nice boat). The motor runs perfect - nice and smooth - but i got some vibrations around 2500 rpm. The dealer says it will stop after the motor is run in - but after almost 30hrs it is still there - a little less - but not gone. Anyone here with a similar problem ? Onslow
