Colin-58

Hi malc, think you may be talking about what Allan green referd to me as banana banks I reckon there is at least two and may be three, pm Allan may be. ( fisheagle). Sure he will prob get you some numbers, hope this helps. Colin

And as they say Martin. ONE volunteer is worth a thousand recruits 😂

Good luck boys, Charlie, hope you have warned Jim not to come over dressed in his Sunday suit tomorrow because he is very likely to catch FISH on your boat 😂 and so keep your camera to hand ready for any rare photo opportunity 😋. Sure you'll have fun but it looks like you will have to dodge southerly's as best you can ! Safe treck and tight lines. Colin.

Hi Jim , it's about 50\50 at the moment weather I come to meeting , it will depend on how the wife is feeling , I won't be planning a fishing trip, Jan has hospital appointments on the wednesday. Can update, if you don't mind being custodian for a while, many thanks Colin

Yes got it Jim thanks, when you print out your copy print a size your happy with jim, I understand what your saying about the grainy bit so you may have to compromise on size so your happy with quality 👍. Colin

Jim, Terry is right, I meant to print out a glossy A 4 on normal photographic paper, you know the old fashion way! Then frame that. Right, now on the basis a man that never made a mistake never made anything 😄 and when I was at school a triangle had three sides😄 now let's have a go.the second way, A friend of my family has a printing business , we are developing the idea of printing wedding photos etc on to figured wood, so you would need to what's-up the photo to my phone Jim 😄(07730249907) and leave the rest to me. And thirdly, if your carving technique does work you might amaze your self, have a go, nothing ventured nothing gained, that could turn out good as well, life's a learning curve Jim. 😄👍

Jim, that is a wonderful photograph, really good quick thinking on jackie"s part to snap that. The character and clarity of the building in the foreground , the other buildings and mature trees in the main body, and the proportion of the sky are excellent, and yet the main subject adorns the centre stage most elequently . A bit of a wonderful memory maker moment for you and Jackie to see and take a photo of this rare visitor to the south coast of england, fantastic ! Jim, I think you should consider printing out an A four size photo for you and Jackie to hang in your home , I will be more than happy to find you some live edge wood I have cut on my sawmill that I think will frame it to perfection and add to the character of the Sean . That's Jackie s birthday or Christmas pressie sorted which ever comes first 😄. And if you could consider it I would love a copy , more than happy to donate to you or our club charity, may be some others thinking similar👍. Well done Jackie. Colin. Farmer and countryman.

Hi Martin ,All above good advice, I have three Lowrance machines. A 9 t I 2. Now obsolete A f s 9 I am very pleased with and have just obtained the new eagle 9 live sight, suggest you check out videos , there is plenty on YouTube to study up, to get the best out of them you need to consider some good cards in them like platinum plus or equivalent, they come in around or just over £200 but if your buying new, lookout for deals, you can sometimes get them free in the deal so don't forget to ask. Also may be worth having a word with Ashley at seatronix, he is very knowledgeable and helpful, don't know where your boat is but he is near Poole and gets to mariners there regular. Hope this helps. Good luck, Colin.

Think you may be right Mal, ! I am going for sea gull, but if that flew and the bass swam them I think you will be up for presenting a prize to our club conservationists😂. Bring it up at the next meeting when Jerry is there😋. And sure none of us are envious of them having a great days fishing............ HONESTLY 😞. On a serious note, nice to see Chris on two legs, out of pain I hope. Colin.

Many thanks chaps, we can update then, 👍

Hi Martin, if still available I would like them please. Frank could pick them up for me, but he doesn't know it yet! 😂. Thanks. Colin.

Secret fishing colin? 😀. People love to read reports, hint, hint 😋

Merry Christmas one and all 🎄. Apart from Labour voters, you can clear off. 😂

And what do harbour seals taste like anyway? 🤔😁

NEW COMP? In the words of Jasper carott, you can borrow my shotgun for a fiver! 😂
