I tried that place in Christchurch a couple of years ago and they didnt do much in the way of boat trailer bits. I ended up at Trailertek out Winchester way. If they dont have it, it doesnt exist!

Owing to my disappointment at having to drop out of the Alderney trip and the fact I had actually BOOKED time off work for it I am hoping to go out either Wednesday May 11th or Thursday May 12th mid channel and see if we can have our own "mini" trip (but without the booze and sleepovers ) I am looking for buddy boat/ boats that would be about mid week that fancy a trip out (weather permitting of course ) I know most will be at work or joining the flotilla South but anyone about and interested give me a shout.

To be fair.... lots of mail order companies are not as large as they seem, often being run from a spare room or shed in the garden. Looking at his website, he has a forum and allsorts so i cant imagine that everyone is unhappy with his service. You can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time but you CANT please all of the people all of the time. Paypal are likely to refund you Tomo, that said poor customer service and the hag you are having to go through is not good enough.

If only Martin I would love to join you but alas work is calling Its beautiful out there and we just couldnt go wrong on Tuesday when we were out.

It does sound like something someone has made up for a laugh tho Paul

Its always nice to treat ones self every now and then :-)

My first love is Rugby, second Football (Stoke City) and third is fishing ...... Would you believe that Stoke have only gone and got themselves into th FA Cup final at Wembley on May 14th!!! for the first time in their 130 odd year history!!! So it is almost certain that (with a heavy heart) I will have to pull out of the first planned trip as, if I am able to get tickets for the match I am afraid that my 40 years of following their results on TV will hopefully come to a massive climax by watching them lift a trophy at Wembley.

Good luck with the sale. I looked at that boat before you bought her but the owner would not budge on 11 1/2 grand

well .... didnt head East or West.... popped out to the Patch for a couple of hours and dispite a massive shoal on the fishfinder we only managed one whiting and one herring (on feathers) .. moved out to one of the banks and after manouvering to get between the nets we drifted and managed plenty more whiting. Fantastic to be out.

i am out tomorrow. was going to head east but might head over west and see what its all about over there.

The forecast is looking very favourable for that Adam ..... I am thinking of taking a day out tomorrow and trying something similar.

All I can say is don't follow me coz wherever I am the fish aint!!

doh .... sorry. Wrong specs on

when?

it would seem, so am I

I would nomally say "at least you were out" but I'm sure the by the end of your day you would rather NOT have been out.

Good evening Mark and welcome aboard.

Well who's fishing the plaice comp? Small boat big boat kayaks! Book in here: 1) Martin & Dean on "AWOL" 2) Brian (cabin boy) and Stuart on Sea Dream 3) Brian and Mark Osborne (new member) on "MegaByte" 4) Graham & Steve (non member) on Little Sal

I cringe when I see photographs of loads and loads of dead fish with a couple of smiling fishermen holding them up for everyone to see. While I agree that it is "each to their own" and the fact that many deep water fish probably won't survive so IMHO alternative species should be targeted once you have your "lot", I find it hypocritical that we complain about professional fishermen (who are not doing this for fun, they are making a living from catching fish) when they fish too close to shore, or use ungentlemanly means, yet some recreational fishermen are happy to stockpile fish on their deck for a photograph!

I have just ordered a new van and this one has to go. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-T5-Transporter-/1...=item230f99baeb Happy to do a deal with a member. Towed my boat perfectly till i bought my 4X4. Please note the VAT bit, sorry I have no choice on that bit. Graham Sold already ..... sorry.

30?!?! I can't even remember that far back. Have a good one Adam.

Mine is 9 1/2 LB

I will almost certainly be out somewhere. Not decided where yet.

Totally agree Peter (however I fish for sport, not for food) I generally try to return everything I catch.

A Portsmouth fan & a Southampton fan were unaware they were driving head on one night, when suddenly their cars collide. To their amazement, neither is hurt, but both cars are destroyed. In celebration of their good luck they agree to put their differences aside from that moment on. The Southampton fan then goes to the boot of his car & fetches a 12yr old bottle of whisky. He hands it to the Pompey fan, who exclaims, "may Southampton & Portsmouth fans live together forever in peace and harmony" and then gulps down half the bottle. He goes to hand the bottle back to the Southampton fan, who replies ..... "no thanks, I'll just wait til the police get here!"
