Doesn't have any of those Rob !!

Oars have gone.

My brother [ Mr Acquisitive !] has been having a garage sort out and asked me to help him find new homes for a number of boat related bits, surplus to his needs and space. I have listed below without any prices [ as I have no idea, being outside my experience], so am open to offers over the next week or two before I put them on that well known auction website !! So, in no particular order, there is .......... a 25 l Yamaha fuel tank...one of the older metal ones...just a little surface corrosion. 35 lb CQR anchor Pair of 5 ft oars..... alloy tube/ plastic blade 'Battery Guard' 24 v isolation switch.....seems brand new/ in box with wiring diagram Fenders.... Three dockside fenders....those ones that are bolted to the finger pontoon Three big boat fenders Man over board !!.... Two horseshoe rings and two circular liferings. Watersports !!...... there's a Wakeboard with the boot bits; a Kneeboard [?] and a pair of Waterskis. there's a Ringo [but that needs a truck inner tube]. ...and a towing line Wetsuits.........three ....children's sizes....short arm style Folding Bicycle !! If you venture further afield in a big boat I suppose this could be useful Daewoo 3 - speed in a zipped bag / carrying case any enquiries , pm here or phone 07812447587

Well done Adam....first time I've seen the results of all the 'camerawork'.....the underwater shots are brilliant and I'm surprised how good the panning is ....much less 'shake' than I would expect........top marks !!

I'll let you know what you missed!!

Anyone planning a wrecking trip this weekend ?? If you'd like crew, give me a call 07812 447587. I can reciprocate with a bass trip later ! Alun.

....could hold some prospects ??? What to go for???

Savage Gear do a similar one

Only 5 C over the Ledge yesterday.........needs to warm up significantly before there's any sign of the bream. At this rate of 'warming', it could be full winter thermals for Alderney.

Rain-Ex working well !!

Terry......You didn't mention your delayed return journey !! What time did you get home??

Interesting day yesterday....cold foggy drive down. Had to wait 30 mins for crew Terry to arrive but set off into lifting mist and calm sea in full winter togs ! Only a couple of boats on the banks, one was Nige and another was True Blue ......all quiet on first 4 drifts, then Terry gets a turbo [ about 4 lbs]......tide starts to die and Nige is bored, so they go off. We had worms, so went to mussel beds and a crack at the plaice. Still too much tide there....so back to bottom banks for 30mins [blank!].....then another go for plaice.......now tide was coming good....and as soon as it went slack we both got plaice...2 each......all good size [2 to 3 lbs] and a jumbo one of 5 - 8 for Terry !! Obviously his day !!....as tide started, we went back to finish wiith another hour on the banks and Terry got another turbo. So Gastro tally for the day..... 4 plaice and 3 turbot. Tried with feathers but no fresh bait....where are the launce??

I'll be out......briefly !! Will have Ch 6 on. Alun.

Ta......I'll pass info on . Alun.

Anyone know of a 2 bedroom flat \ apartment available asap ??.....idealy somewhere between Winton\ Charminster and Christchurch ?? My daughter and her partner were due to move into new flat on Sat, Having spent past week packing up and cleaning old flat, and with all loaded into the van, went to collect keys for new flat............only to be told by letting agent, that landlord had pulled out last min [ 30 mins before ] !!! Nothing available....no obligations.......not the most helpful .......so we have all spare corners packed with their things until they can find somewhere suitable. Anyone able to help??? Alun.

" Would make a nice artificial reef - now there's a thought for club funds " ............but where would you put it ?? Can't see commercials happy to have that in the Bay, obstructing their trawls !!

....and I've secured beds at Fleet House
