  5. Hi James welcome to our club which we believe to be one of the best around. A few of us keep our boats up at Rockley on stack and store so you're not alone. The chairman("Serenity" Merry fisher 695) treasurer (Warrior 165) myself ("AWOL" Karnic 2460)and others are up there. Not a good time of year for fishing inshore but there are opportunities offshore if the weather ever allows us to go out. Inshore fishing should pick up end of April/may when the Bream arrive in numbers (hopefully) No harm in going out with other members during the quite period to learn boating skills and to get the jist of where local marks are. Dave aka Coddy on here is our safety officer. He would be best placed to tell you about courses and training available Small boat angling is a large topic to learn about as it's not just about the fishing however by joining a club such as ours and by joining in and taking advantage of what's available the learning curve could be dramatically reduced. As soon as I receive confirmation from our treasurer that you are a fully paid up member I will update your forum status so you can then view the members only section of the forum. Martin
  6. Mick, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work on a shaft drive boat if you can find clean water to site it in. If it were me I would be looking to fit it inside the boat somewhere away from the prop. You can fit a transom mount inside the boat to shoot through the hull by using something like plumbers mate initially to see where it works best. When a good place is found you can then fix permanently with a pack glue or in a bath of cheep cooking oil. The most important things when fitting are: clean water, no air between the transducer and the hull, and fixing the transducer upright. Others will probably have more ideas on how to fix internally Martin
  7. Just to give this a bump The weather is depressing me a little so I have been reading this again. I am so looking forward to this trip with a little over 10 weeks to wait, fingers crossed for the weather to back off. Any new additions to the list? Martin

  16. Owing to the sensitive nature of the situation...they all agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from. After the surgery..... everyone was astounded at the man's new face. He looked more handsome than ever ! All his Friends and relatives raved about his youthful appearance...especially his mother! One day, while alone with his wife, and overcome with emotion at her sacrifice. He said, 'Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?' 'My darling,' she replied, 'I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek.'
  17. Mick walks into Paddy's barn and catches him dancing naked in front of a tractor. Mick says, "Oi Paddy, what ya doing?" Paddy says, "Well me and Mary haven't been getting on in the bedroom lately & the therapist recommended I do something sexy to a tractor.

    Staring

    My wife hosted a dinner party for all our friends and their children. During dinner my wife’s best friend ( Diane's) four-year-old sitting opposite, stared at me continuously. She could barely eat her food for staring. I checked my shirt for spots, felt my face for food, patted my hair in place but nothing stopped her from staring at me. I tried hard to ignore her but finally it was too much for me. I finally asked her “Why are you staring at me?” and the table went quiet waiting for her response. The little girl said “I’m just waiting to see how you drink like a fish.”
  21. stuff that
  22. Happy birthday Paul
  23. ALWAYS ASK, NEVER ASSUME His request approved, the CNN News photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight. He was told a twin-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport. Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger. He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go'. The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off. Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, 'Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides' 'Why?' asked the pilot. 'Because I'm a photographer for CNN' he responded, 'and I need to get some close up shots.' The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally he stammered, 'So, what you're telling me, is . . . You're NOT my flight instructor?' "Life is short. Drink the good wine first."
