Sorted Stuie and apologies to Brian Martin

Have a great day Charlie Martin

Sorry James my fault: Right click on the image then click on properties the address url is in there Martin

James Your half way there. Store picture to a host ie our photo gallery or photobucket as you have. Open the picture wherever it is stored and right click then scroll down to the full url/address which will end in .jpg Do not use the url at the top of the page (as you did here). In the post you're creating click the img button then paste the url in there and that is pretty much it. Martin

Well done on getting out Neal and I guess you never felt a thing when you tugged out Stui's hook

Happy Birthday Dave Martin

We are aiming to get on the boat around 11am. Place will be decided on tomorrow and will obviously be dependant on which way the wind is blowing. If we don't see you in the morning give a shout on CH6 Martin

Well done sounds like you had a really good day. Those large fish could have been Tope as we have caught a fair few around that area Martin

Just noticed Charlie if you got the wok bing some stir fly with you

Rob you know me to well Charlie if you can sneak away to check moorings your more than welcome as is anyone else Martin

Looks like the original importer based on Guernsey may have gone pop. I have googled and tried to find them to no avail Do the US makers ship abroad? seems like that maybe the only chance you have of getting some Martin

we have the Pimms

Thanks Gordon your status has been updated Martin

Well after a crap start to the year for our family Veronica and I have decided it's time to lighten up and start to enjoy living. So as a move in that direction we have decided to decorate AWOL with flags Bunting and the like and have a picnic. This would also be a chance to celebrate the Queens 60 years and being British. We have one possibly two boats joining us and entering in the spirit (wine actually ) of the day. Could be a fun day somewhere in the harbour out of the wind. Feel free to join in and raft up or if you just happen to be passing by come alongside for a glass of something. Post here if you're interested or call up on the day CH6 Martin

Hope you have had a good day Martin

Dan Yes but the rips can take more tackle Short traces with shads is fine for cod and pollock longer traces and jellies etc for pollock. Pollock will take a fair way up ie 35-40 turns whereas cod will mostly be hard on the bottom Martin

Got mine tonight and phoned Alderney angling to pay. How trusting is that sending without payment, thanks Mark Thanks again Charlie for bringing them over Martin

Happy birthday Trevor Hope you had a good day Martin

Had a good day then Matt Martin

Renew Here Martin

Happy birthday Sam, don't get a sore head, well not to sore Martin

Mark The pleasure was all mine, perhaps we will do it again on your next visit Enjoy the rest of your stay and see you in 3.5 years time Martin

Made arrangements to Meet Mark B (Loyal Royal on here) who is on holiday from New Zealand at the boatyard for around 8am. He turned up on the dot of 8 and we set about readying the boat for our little foray over to the west. Everything went like clockwork we were skimming over the water at 20 knots while I was deciding what to target. First stop was Kimmeridge to see if the bream wanted to play...well they didn't but a couple of stroppy Bullhuss had some fun along with one solitary pollock. We(read as I) soon got fed up with that so over to the shambles we went where a couple of other clubs boats were fumbling around. Soon had our bait quota then down with our lines to see what was about. We had bass (just the one) doggies Launce loads of the smallest joeys I've ever caught and 5 turbot up to the 5lb mark We left around 3 o'clock having had a pleasant day in the sun with good company what more could you ask for Mark with two of the tubbies Martin
