Graham Nash

I see some pretty impressive ones being dragged up on my "ray mark" charlie. You know where it is. Graham

I have a "mark" that is so specific that 50 ft either side of it is useless, so there are definitely spots that, from my experience are that specific. As for wrecks on the fish finder; I am nowhere near an expert on wrecks and have only fished a few but I have had my best results in locating them with a good quality inboard transducer, often finding that the wreck is not on the exact numbers advertised and sometimes the wrecks are so flat that they hardly show up anyway!! Keep at it, longer traces, dont scrunch your bait onto the hook so it stays on there as this looks un-natural and encourages deep hooked fish (on the rare occasion it catches) good luck

I drive or walk along Holes Bay Road every day, and many days there are 3 or 4 cars parked up with between 2 & 4 bait diggers in each. They come with their trays, newspapers, buckets and forks and they systematically decimate the area, never re-filling their holes (probably so they dont waste their time re digging the same spot the following day). Although I think it's wrong on many levels (I bet they dont pay taxes on their earnings for a start), I can imagine that if too many restrictions are placed on amounts these guys can collect it will push up the price, which in turn will bring more of them here with their buckets and forks. I suppose the answer would be for everyone to get off their backsides and dig their own bait when needed rather than just pop to the shop and buy more than we need (I can't see me doing that too often, i'd probably give up fishing first!!). so, it's down to supply and demand. If WE demand it, they will supply it.

Agree with the advice above. I struggled to catch anything decent till I went out with the grand master, his son and the chef .... their tactics were alien to me but i have adapted my tactics and rigs and seem to do pretty good now. I'm still rubbish on Poole patch tho!!

you'll need to be quick

i couldnt see the text jim, my eyes aint what they used to be, i thought small fry was fairly chuck in and outable, having said that, ive looked at westports before i bought my raider and they do look like very nice boats.

New Pilot more expensive than 7 year old Small fry. Jim thee must be some logic there somewhere

what a month when a club record can only achieve 4th place!!! well done everyone concerned.

I went out ... motored over to Christchurch Ledge at about 20 knotts, limped back at 8 knotts at times. Waves breaking over the top of us and our fuel supply rapidly running out!! 70 litres of fuel and a pretty grotty trip with nothing to report apart from mackerel ..... hundreds of em!!!

A young girl started work in the village chemist shop. She was very shy about having to sell condoms to the public. The owner was going on holiday for a couple of days and asked if she would be willing to run the shop on her own. She had to confide in him her worries about selling the contraceptives. "Look," he said. "My regular customers dont ask for condoms, they'll askfor a 310 [small] a 320[medium] or a 330[large]. The word condom wont even be used. The first day was fine but on the second day a black guy came in to the shop, put out his hand and said "350 please".. The girl panicked. She phoned the owner on his mobile and told him of her predicament. " Go back in and check if he has a yellow bucket hanging between his legs" her boss told her. She peeped through the door and saw the yellow bucket hanging between his legs. "Yes "!!!! she said " He's got one hanging there"....! The boss said "Go back in and give him

I just didnt think anyone was posting anything!!

A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the Cabbie says, 'Perfect timing, you're just like Frank.' Passenger: 'Who?' Cabbie: 'Frank Feldman...He's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time.' Passenger: 'There are always a few clouds over everybody.' Cabbie: Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy. Passenger: Sounds like he was something really special. Cabbie: 'There's more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, could do everything right.' Passenger: 'Wow, some guy then. Cabbie: 'He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman'. Passenger: An amazing fellow. How did you meet him? Cabbie: 'Well...I never actually met Frank. He died and I married his fu@*?ng wife."

happy lofty indeed. Well done that man :-) Happy anniversary by the way
