Graham Nash

I am hoping to get out Saturday (and/or Sunday) but it will depend massively on my dogs. I have a bitch in season at the moment and a very stressed and frustrated dog trying to get at her so if they are still stressy then I will have to stay at home to prevent having any more. If I do manage to get out I was intending to head over towards the IOW somewhere (and take some squid with me ).

Touch wood I have never needed to claim but I changed from Towergate Mardon to Fowler Penfold Marine this year and got slightly better cover at a slightly better price. Hopefully I wont need to claim again this year so I hope not to find out how good they actually are!

Its not looking great for me either but I will definitely get there before the end of the meeting with the money for the bait (And Tony's bait). Graham.

I use a couple of abu 7000 reels and i like them. I have a multitude of rods ranging from

well done Rory, Someone got a bargain there!

I headed out with the intention of fishing my favourite ray mark but for some reason (and I have no idea what that reason is) I changed my mind about 300 yards short of my proposed spot. A 2 1/2lB Tub Gurnard was a nice sight, followed by numerous tope and doggioes. A single 1lb 5oz turbot was our only recordable fish (but a welcome addition to my species list).

I will brush the cobwebs off and get Little Sal out. One non member as crew.

Cannot believe it ... the first weekend that looks fishable for 3 weeks and I am at a wedding all weekend!

Agreed about the cost of the oil, but you will reap the rewards come service time and it costs you peanuts in comparison to other new makes.

That reminds me ... I need some!

I might be interested in a small anchor if you have one. 5kg to 7.5kg if you have one. ! can never have enough anchors ....

see ... told you they were good!

Mike, have a look in IN EXCESS at some of their locks. Crazy price and good stuff. Professionals will get past them but they will deter the petty tea leaf.

Mike I have a big old metal tank you are welcome to. I think it has a suzuki connector on it. Full of OLD fuel. I am sure i have a couple of small 5 ltr cans too.

I had exactly the same, admin sorted it for me too. But a year later I was still getting emails about it cos i couldnt remove/edit/cancel the ad!
