Hi i'm having a heavy duty alderney ring made up as well as a s/s basket thingy to put my coolbox in on the bathing deck. This will free up loads of space . Luckily i mentioned it whilst talking to an old friend whom i didn't realise is part owner of a fabrication company and he will even deliver the bits when he passes my house........BRILLIANT. May use his company to beef up the bow roller as he is fairly local to me but i'll probably do this when the weather is not so good, so hopefully a long way off. Jas

No prob sam your more than welcome mate. Just don't call me gay again.......he ...he .

Its looking like saturday will be the best day weather /wind wise.

Hi Guys, I'm hoping to get out this weekend from weymouth and am looking for crew to help me understand how to use all the gadgets correctly etc. I am still awaiting some anchor warp and an alderney ring and buoy and i have not got a coolbox to store the fish, so really i am at present limited to drift fishing unless someone has the items required. I am at the meeting tonight or pm /call on 07974753359. CHEERS JAS

Thanks guys. Tom i'm glad you mentioned about strengthening the bow roller, and will put this on my to do list. Thanks Jas

Stainless steve ?

Hi All, need some advice on where to buy an alderney ring, and do they do different sizes. Cheers Jas

Happy birthday guys. Jas

Hope you all have a great day, and bring home the bacon....i mean fish. Jas

Quite a bit by the sounds of it Mike. Very good tip mate, one that i would not have thought of. Cheers Jas

Hi Kam, Was just stating what i had bought . I am going to cut my existing chain of 25m in half and put 12.5m of chain on my new rope and keep the other 12.5m chain and anchor as a spare mate. Cheers Jas

WELL DONE ALL I'm hoping to enter a few comps this year out on Marichelle.....I certainly could do with the practice. I ended up at canford boat jumble with Jimbo and bought some 12mm multiplait polypropelene 100m for

Well done guys. Not knowing about the ground bait set up you use .....could you possible run me through what i need etc. Cheers Jas

Hi Bob , Well you'd have to run me through what i have to do to put a photo on the forum, cus i aint gota clue mate . I'm sure that there is no need to Share with the group anyway, id much rather put a picture of a big fishy on all day long mate . But it was fun when we filled up with diesel........ Jas

Thanks Bob. Well theres two comments i'd like to say . 1- is that i'm very proud of my first cod. 2- I hope they get bigger cus i'm sure they can't get smaller. Oh well practice makes perfect....... Another 10 years and i'll be catching the biggies..! Hopefully... Jas

Like i say Paul........MAY THE CODS BE WITH YOU . JAS

Well done Mark. So there are fish out there ! ! ! Jas

Thankyou Bob and Jimbo for doing an excellent job on my maiden voyage. Well i was very happy not to blank and hopefully this is a good sign for the future. I learnt a hell of alot from Bob F but unfortunately for me alot of it went in on ear and out the other, i put it down to nervous excitement. So apologies now Bob you'll have to come out again soon ..........PLEASE....... It's quite amazing how different it was for me from crewing for Bob where i didnt really have to take too much notice of much and then have Bob crew for me and realise how much more i had take into consideration. This was great because i was learning as we were going along ,but exhausting too, as i found out the next day. Well we met up with Adam and Gordon at the hood and we all agreed we had an excellent day especially Adam, so i tried to blag a pollock or two from him but he wouldn't have any of it..... I don't know how how he can eat so many. So the day left Bob , Jimbo, and myself to go home with our tail between our legs and not able to put food on the table ........But there's always next time and i can't wait..... Thanks Guys Jas

Nice bit of kit Adam. Just bought a 100ltr igloo jobbie for

Happy birthday chaps . Have a great day. Jas

Hi Adam, I'd be up for a trip out tomorrow.. What time were you thinking of. I,m going out now so just PM a time and i'll be there . Cheers mate Jas

Hi Guys, thanks for advice. I know that my windlass is a lewmar v2/v3 but i don't think that it handles rope but unsure at the mo. Will try to find out more tomorrow as i have the instructions on board. Cheers Jas

Well done Guys. With good reports like that it makes me even keener to get out there and catch some myself. Jas

Hi Guys, sorry to change the subject but i need some advice about my windless, It appears that i have 25 metres of chain and 10 metres of rope but i have read somewhere that i need to play out between 3-5 times the depth i will be fishing in. So my question is do i replace what i have or do i buy another anchor with longer rope and stow on board ? Cheers Guys Jas

Thanks Charlie. I certainly will be taking it slowly mate and will be asking for the help and advice of the more experienced club members to come out with me and show me the way.. I did have a moment of bravery today and actually started her up . Tomorrows task is to make a cup of tea whilst listening to the vhf.........All exciting stuff ......yawn....yawn, and also hopefully meet up with the previous owner to go through the things i don't understand....so could be there some time. Cheers Jas
