alun j.

I'll be out with Paul Frey on Imagine !! Alun.

all melting and washing away now !! hopefully not to return !!

and the other corner !!

Here's my garden yesterday morning...... about 9 am , in the gloom

..........or last Fri??

.....but how did you do Tomo ??

Mike , with the wind forecast, you could be one of the fastest boats !! Will it still be on if the stiff North-easterly stays in the forecast.?? Alun.

Rosie One will be going out on the 10:30 !!!! Crew on Gastro will be on their second breakfast by then !! Call us on 6 and we will give you 'Scores on the doors'!! Alun.

I find those big hooks are not sharp enough as the wire is so thick. 5/0 to 7/0 in the Vivaris \ Sakuma wide gape pattern .... not the extra strong pattern as they are thicker.

the problem of fixed dates !! Bet they wished it could have been Mon & Tues this week !!! Last year in the Solent did it for me !

Well this morning it is looking thoroughly confused ! The 4 websites I use are all giving different outlooks !! There may be lulls in the wind but there is no confidence over when , or for how long !!!!!

Cheers Terry............ Have a good day, despite the weather ! Many Happy Returns.... Alun.

only drawback [apart from cost !!]......is the coffee isn't that hot when you get it !!

Quote..... Like the Haddock off Christchurch!! laugh.gif YES !! Saw a few yesterday..... landed in nets. Not very big though!

Sunday's weather not looking so good now !! .......esp for venturing further out. Might just be OK inshore. ........BUT...... it could be all different tomorrow [???]

I agree with all above.......... but the confines \ rock and roll of open boat means..... more containers = more chance of spills and \or rapidly cold drink !! I make a flask putting cool milk onto instant coffee, then adding boiling water..... this warms coffee up rather than milk cooling it down. Good for the morning............ by later in the day all tastes pretty rank !!

Yes............ but I might be bassing !!

Gastro will be out from Mudeford sometime shortly after 7......... Will have Ch. 6 on and watch you lot going off ater fat lunkers........ ....whilst we creep about after spikeys !! Compare notes later..... Alun.

I have fingers crossed again for Mon ..... and a keen crew, itching to get out again!!

Window closing !!!! This morning , it looks like window for both Sun and Mon is closing to a tiny one overnight Sun !! ..........no use to any of us ! Hoping it changes back by the weekend

Can't do Sunday ............. but I was looking at Mon [??].... on Windfinder Trouble is ..... with this run of LOW pressure systems, all is changeable Fingers crossed........ and will be out when it calms { except the weekend!!} Alun.

There are some spotted rays reported somewhere here to add

Results from Imagine..... Paul F ..... blonde 5 lb. 2 oz Alun J ..... blonde 5 lb. 3 oz. Pathetic !!!

Isn't this just a consultative document ?

Well done Rob !! I simply use a separate bucket for each. Your method would reduce the weight of water sloshing about, Will you be going into business? I'll take a 2nd 'prototype ' to test !! ....or swap for some clawed beasts. cheers, Alun.
