Shame I didn’t catch this one in 3 days instead of yesterday then!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s why I added whiting to the list !!!! [emoji847] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Out of sheer curiosity I’ve had a butchers at them just now. I must say they look the part and their range is quite extensive!! I’m always sceptical about cheap gear from China / Japan or wherever, so will be good to hear back from you about them after the winter. Tell us how they fair after a few cod and whiting have been landed on them !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Eeeeeer Jim, don’t you be musclin in on my sales pitch !! [emoji849] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you up your budget by another £30k (a mere snip), I know of a rather lovely Parker 660 pilothouse for sale !!!!! [emoji847] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it’s the one in Christchurch then I would be getting a evinrude qualified engineer to properly check the engine (I think it’s a two stroke). Good engines I believe if well maintained but, can be a pig if not looked after. Also, change the radar reflector ontop of the wheel house. Those tube types are near enough useless !! Good luck , hull looks nice ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use two Penns (can’t remember the models), an avet and a daiwa slosh with level wind . All are good makes for the area we fish and reliable. I’m am right handed but wind with my left which can limit choice a bit but if you don’t fish with a lefty wind it won’t be too restrictive !! What ever you decide on just wash them down in fresh water after every use and they will last longer!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seriously , the ugly stick will be a great rod but, you will need to spend more than £50 on a reel. You will soon be buying a new one if you buy a budget reel. Spend £100-150 on a decent reel and it will last years ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Many happy returns Ray ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not any expert on Poole bay tide strengths as I don’t fish there but, if it’s strong go for the 6-10 if it’s not then the 4-7! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well done Mr. Cullen !! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Every hook moves about surely ? A barb only prevents the hook from exiting the flesh or skin of a fishes mouth. It doesn’t stop the rest of the bend and shank moving around ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My thought firstly is if you didn’t have bad luck you wouldn’t have any. Well done for keeping it calm and making it back safely !! If the window is that flymsy then maybe nuts and bolts is the way forward. Do you think the window was original material or maybe an aftermarket type that was too flexi and flexed out of the rubber ?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A crusty old Army Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a local college. There was no shortage of extremely young idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation. "Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?" "Negative, ma'am. Just serious by nature." The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, "It looks like you have seen a lot of action." "Yes, ma'am, a lot of action." The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, "You know, you should lighten up. Relax and enjoy yourself." The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner. Finally the young lady said, "You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex? "1955, ma'am." "Well, there you are. No wonder you're so serious. You really need to chill out! I mean, no sex since 1955! She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to "relax" him. Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, "Wow, you sure didn't forget much since 1955." The Sergeant Major said, after glancing at his watch, "I hope not; it's only 2130 now." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A man and a woman are seated next to each other on a flight. They start eyeing each other, and both realize they want to do the same thing. He slips a condom out of his pocket, and she looks delighted. Rear toilet? He suggests. Five minutes, she agrees and goes off. He waits five minutes, then goes and slips in there with her. Right, get that condom on, she says. Soon, they are both sighing with pleasure. But a sharp eyed stewardess has noticed them, and realized what they are up to, So, she humiliates them by making an announcement over the PA system. "To the lady and gentleman in the rear toilet, we know what you are doing, and it is expressly forbidden by airline regulations. Now, please put those cigarettes out and take the condom off the smoke detector." And what were you thinking? I worry about you sometimes! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice one Hooky, well pleased for you! Enjoy![emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The weekend is looking promising and smaller tides. I hope all works out for you as you deserve a bit of luck, and maybe a fish ?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A delightful angelic little boy was waiting for his mother outside the ladies room of the gas station. As he stood there, he was approached by a man who asked, "Sonny, can you tell me where the Post Office is?" The little boy replied, "Sure! Just go straight down this street two blocks and turn to your right. It's on the left." The man thanked the boy kindly, complimented him on how bright he was and said, "I'm the new pastor in town. If you and your mommy come to church on Sunday I'll show you how to get to Heaven." The little boy replied with a chuckle; "You're kidding me, right? You can't even find the Post Office."
