Good to see you back Ben and some very nice pics too.

lovely looking boat ... I walked up Wareham River a few weeks ago and saw it out there. Shame its gotta go, but needs must at times

I am a fan of in close to the cliffs at Ballard Lofty. I have had some very good days there.

I will be out that way tomorrow from about mid day.

Thanks Tom, It was partly to help with my trip planning in the hope that maybe I can "go with the flow" rather than always be battling the flow of the tide. Many thanks.

I am sure I should know this but to assist with my setting up ready for drifting and with my trip planning, when the tide is on the ebb does it run from East to West or the other direction?? Thanks.

Not me Adam but I can get the money to Nigel (or Martin) and maybe they can collect for me?? Or maybe I could pop to your works and collect?

I am out with him in a couple of weeks time, hoping to put some of Charlies teaching to good use :-). I am glad I seem to have picked a good skipper.

Rotten luck Charlie ..... and having experienced yours & Sams skippering first hand this just goes to show it can happen to the best of us. Well done to all concerned for a safe outcome.

I am supposed to be away this weekend but if the weather makes an improvement maybe I will be able to squeeze back for a few hours fishing Sunday

Congratulations to you all. Welcome to the world of parenthood, which brings with it sleeplessness and poverty but also happiness, unconditional love and pride..

I DID!!!!

I would have the last reel from you Adam :-)

you sound like you have one in a million there Greg.

That actually made me smile

2nd wife???? Didn't you learn first time round?

you dont half get out there Steve .... good effort and I hope you enjoyed your supper :-)

Ok, the book is open, who's caught what? 1) Cod 8lB 4oz aboard alfresco 2) Pollock 9lB aboard Alfresco

Superb Tomo ...... a real beaut!

How do we know who's birthday & when?? Is it listed somwehere & I am missing it? Happy Birthday Charlie

Good luck Lofty .... that window is getting smaller & smaller ..... stay safe.

I see a completely different forecast again this morning

Not sure I agree with your last post Jim (apart from the wallet bit) I built a small pond, then increased it, and again and again till it ended up being a 6000 gal pond (more like a swimming pool). Bought some 3 inch Koi from Sway Lakes and by the time I moved about 9 years later there were a couple of them well over 24" long. They used to come to the side of the pond and eat from my hands too. I built a smaller (but deeper) tank when I moved but alas my babies didnt survive for long Fantastic, relaxing & rewarding hobby once you get it right. Bul very frustrating, expensive and saddening when you dont.

Sshhhhh Tom ...... theres plenty of time for that to change another 20 times between now and then.

I think Wednesday is the decision day Peter .... It seems to have changed 100 times in the last week.
