Colin-58

Hi clubmates, weather forecast looks promising, I hope to plan Friday , prob in shore. Sat off shore if as forecast at the moment, Sunday ? Think the weather not going to be as forecast a couple of days ago, so now debatable a lot can change, but any of you got thoughts or soft laid plans? Any guilt-head tips. ? P m me if you don't want to shout. Thanks. Tight lines all. Colin.

Fishing near two trawlers mal doesn't sound like it's likely to be a prolific day🙁 it needs at least an eight mile ban on them around the bay in my opinion. Colin.

Hi Charlie , firstly many thanks to you for the help and advice you gave me with regards to my new anchor winch set-up, very much appriciated , as you know the as ever helpful Pete did a great job for me to complete the job. Has he retired? , I hope he's well thanks colin

Well done charlie,glad you were successful, shame Dave wasn't but sure he will be a keen companion with you perhaps. Your going to catch one this year, we are all rooting for you , it's going to happen😄. Keep up the effort, perseverance will pay off, good luck. Colin.

Hi , eggie 555. Do you have a name ? I sat by our " new old club member. " Tom at the meeting Tuesday night , he is mr. Big in ribs I think😄. He should be able to advise you may be a demo even? Well worth getting in touch with him. Don't know how often Tom will check the club site, so if he doesn't pick up on this promptly it may be worth trying Secretary Brian he is brilliant, about some contact details, don't know how that works with this privacy thing , but sure if Brian can help he will . 👍Good luck. Farmer colin.

Jerry, the upcoming date for bream comp needs updating at top of site now. 😂 excuse the pun, but keep it calm, then everyone else can get excited 😄. Colin.

Yes Mal and Jerry, safety first as disappointing as it is for people that have made plans. I couldn't make it but possibly can on the new date 👍

Beautiful fish Charlie, that's nice to see some up. Nearly matches your coat as well 😄. For the ornatholajists among you I heard the first cuckoo yesterday so they are back, any one else heard one? When ? Colin.

Welcome back Mike 👍. 😄 colin.

Well done Wendy ,chip pan on ! It's going to be at least three weeks before I can get out to play 😀 can't wait, let's hope it's a good plaice fishing season, I know there are some club members live for that. Colin.

Thanks Charlie, I will give them a call and ask to speak to a half-witt about landing nets 😂. O dear! And I will look on there web site 👍

Hi Charlie, I am in the market for a net about like you are describing, if you think your pleased with it when you have been out could you pass on details and a pic would be good please? One of my crew could pick one up for me from c a c no prob. Thanks. Colin.

Sorry I can't be there with you clubmates, thanks to the chairman and hard working committee who toil on our behalf. Hope you will all stand in your elected places for the coming year, best wishes and congratulations to those receiving awards. Colin.

Brilliant day out Jerry, it doesn't get much better than that, apart from the fog desending , that was a bit disopointing for you, it proves making the effort can get the resaults, a long treck but well worth the effort.splendid fish well done. Colin.

Well done Martin ,so what did you decide on ?

Hi Jerry, having spoken to one of my crew this morning, I would like to buy it if still available, please p m me or you can ring me on 07730249907 many thanks colin.

That's the spirit jerry, 😀. Very generous discount already, free personal fishing tuition for the day , free secret bass Mark coordinates, going after the bass ban, couple of huge bass to take home, 😀. One free beer at Cobbs (as long as they help washdown) no doubt. 😀 Cracking offer Jerry. Colin.

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.
