HI can anyone help! My hds dosnt seem to scrol along the chart when im on the move . I have to move across the screen using the arrows Have read the instructions and cant find anything . Thanks Jim

Lovely photos and report both of you. Wish I'd been there.

Looking at the charts is there any joy in fishing the Poole Rocks, about 2 - 3 miles ENE of Sanbanks? Do they hold any bass or bream? Thanks Arthur

Thanks, guys, for the information. Still researching and hoping to get out on Sunday. Arthur

Thank you Gnasher I have sent email to Loni's

Thank you ! I will give that a try potbellypout

Does anyone know what happened to Jim Lon of Pro - tackle shop, Barrack road, Christchurch, ?

Good morning, All. This is my first posting on your website and I am looking forward to contributing (where I can) on the posts. I will be taking my boat out from Poole - weather permitting! - this coming weekend and would appreciate any advice on suitable marks in the area. It's a 5m RIB so fairly seaworthy and I have been looking at local charts (on www.wrecksite.eu) for possible marks. A few seem likely to me (not knowing the area):- 1 Close in to the cliffs at Durlston Head or St. Albans Head for Pollack 2 Flatties (Plaice, Turbot, Flounders ???) drifting over St. Albans Ledge running SW from St. Albans Head 3 Trying some of the wrecks in the area - but which one(s)? 4 Trolling for Bass along the Training Bank just west of the Swash Channel. What is it a training bank for? 5 Small (?) flatties inside Poole Harbour itself - but where? 6 And, of course, mackerel out at sea But these are just guesses on my part. Can anybody assist me with some specific information, please? If you don't want to give away your favourite location then a PM would be fine. I'll have squid and cuttle already as bait but are there local baits one would recommend - rag, crab, lug? Charlie (your Club Sec) has offered some advice and has recommended that I post my questions on here for your specialist knowledge! Many thanks to all. Arthur

It is a great little boat,very safe and stable,i have one and use mine all the time,it gets me to where i want to fish quickly and there is plenty of room for friends

Hi there, my name is Karl Jeffries from New Milton and I have just joined the Club. I have been fishing a few times in my father in law "Codpiece"s boat, and "Wedger" is a a good family friend. I have just bought a Mayland from my parents, which am looking forward to a getting into the water in the next few months!! Look forward to meeting some of you at the next meeting.

If those folks who are interested in participating could PM or email me with contact details i would appreciate it. We are starting the preparations for this event and need to get a better idea of numbers. For those of you with smaller boats, we should be able to accomodate you with some ideas that we have had. Please let me have the details of your rig if it is under 14 ft so that i can advise on suitability. john

Hi all in the storm we had yesterday did anyone lose a petrol tank , i found it at baiter , has marks on which will help to id it , i looked around for a sunk boat but could not see one , i have it safe with me , be glad to reunite with owner

I had a great day fishing last saturday with plenty of bass on board, i was kindly given some live sand eels that went down a treat with those gutsy bass. Anyone selling them at the moment in the Poole and Bournemouth area? Last resort i'll try and catch my own!

I have a Garmin Sounder and GPS 198C which has a broken pin on the multi-pin socket on the back. Does anyone have a damaged system (not the multi-pin) that I can have/buy to enable me to remove this part. Otherwise are any fellow members aware of anybody who would be able to repair it. I have already contacted Garmin who are not interested, as the plugs are not available from them. Please help. You can telephone me on 07770 925153 or e-mail me. Many thanks in advance John Carpenter

Sure we will meet up soon Charlie Will be there as usuaul for Alderney week ........good week to get stuck over there

Sorry lads Looks a bit to unsettled for me, going to have to give this one a miss, bit early to pull out but don't want to use hoilday days up at work. Have a good one and stay safe Steve (will do the weekend if possible)

Hi can you put me on the list please will come along (weather permitting) steve w

Thanks for your posts!! I Will give the more speed theory a try and see what happens ? Very happy with the boat just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong Thanks again Jim

Hi went out last Saturday beautiful day no wind and flat seas. I am after some advice/ help ? I brought a raider 16 this time last year and I have notice anything of 15 knots is very uncomfortable very hard ride even on Saturday ! It has a 75 hp etec on the back with a 4 hp aux. I have only owned ribs before so dont know if this is normal or something wrong with my set up ? I would be grateful to hear from other members or indeed other raider owners ! Many thanks Jim

yeah i was kind of sad to sell it but anyway, its more practical for me to go on occasional charter boat trips. we got it up to a little over 28knots on the sea test.

well the boat was sold to a guy who saw this ad, I didnt advertise it anywhere else in the end. he is fishing out a place near portsmouth. it was also a FICHT RAM engine, the ETECs only came in in 2004 or something!

Whoops, have been offered some help with the trailer so I have just been out and remeasured the chassis tube only to find that the original dimensions I gave were wrong. The internal diameter of the existing tube is 46mm and the external is 50mm. I can only put it down to the heat, my age and using a tape measure instead of callipers!! Steve

Thanks Rob I will certainly bear that in mind and hopefully Mike may read this post and share his thoughts. It would certainly be good to get it sorted as I daren't take it very far at the moment (luckilly I'm only 1/4 mile from a slipway!0

Hope someone out there can help me out. I have an oldish Snipe trailer for my 12.5 ft dinghy Mistress Moon with the main chassis consisting of two galvanised steel tubes (scaffold poles?) with an internal diameter of 52mm. One of these is rotting through and needs replacing or repairing. I haven't been able to find a similar size of tube and I've been told welding galvanised is difficult and unfortunately some of the other fittings are welded onto the tubes. I was hoping I would be able to cut through/out the rotten section (1ft) and fit an inner or outer sleeve. Any advice on where I can source suitable materials or where I can take it to have the work done would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise its back to ebay looking for a reasonable replacement, and hoping that it will be the right size/shape should I win it! Steve

Hi Well the mooring is in Wilow Way Marina, costs about
