Maverick Martin

There are also some in Poole Harbour usually see one around round island Martin

Martin Nigel has sent me a photo of your fish to my phone for me to upload on the site however I can't get the piccy from my phone to the pc. Could you email me a copy please The other Martin

The red arvor was probably Neal on "Court Jester" and the QS might have been Craig on "Abode 2" both club members boats so you were in good company. We use ch6 for comms and I'm sure if you called up either one they would of acknowledged and kept an eye out for you after all thats what the club is all about. We were near the spoils and like many others had a very slow day. A few congers to Dean, pout and dogs with just one cod of 17lb 1oz to Charlie A Shame about your mate but never mind there's always next week

At last Trevor you have your just reward, I am really pleased for you as I know only to well what you were going through. All is well that ends well Martin

Hi Gino and welcome to both the forum and our club. I have updated your forum status to that of club member so you can now see the member only section. Niggle has given you spot on advice and if you would like an idea of which areas to be looking at you only have to ask. If you are new to our area it may pay you dividends to volunteer to crew on members boats, just keep an eye on the boat buddies section. Need any further advice then ask away on here Martin

For booking in details read here The rules are 2 persons on each boat, the second person does not need to be a club member. You can fish any 7 hour period from 6am - 6pm this should allow those that launch and retrieve to pick a suitable period to fish. 2 rods max per entrant with a maximum of 3 hooks, a Penell rig counts as 1 hook so long as both hooks are in the same bait. If you say you caught it you did just remember to take the lowest consistent reading from your scales. Honesty is the name of the game and the club does trust its members BTW you can book in with any committee member. You can also book in on the day by calling on vhf ch6 calling "any Poole bay small boats" and book in with a committee member Martin

Graham email your pictures to me and I'll try to add for you Martin

Andrew I believe this will also be your first club comp? if so good luck.... well maybe not as much luck as me Martin

I am certainly hopeful on the current forecast of making it to the island see you all there Martin

Dan Dell Quay Dories are old hat with a very low freeboard, take Robs advice on that score. For the money proposed I would suggest there are better options out there Martin

Hi Thomas I have been watching your grandads reports of all the fish you catch It's about time you let grandad catch one Martin

Well done lads and ladetts sounds like you all had a ball. I just hope the weather holds until next week end Martin

Happy Birthday Terry hope you have a good day Martin

PJ Tom at prop solutions has served me well in the past Out of curiosity why do you want stainless? I only ask as benefits will be small on a 60hp outboard Martin

You talking about me Jim? if so it'll be zimmers at dawn you know Well done PJ a great fish in anyones book Martin

Early Bayliner trophy build quality not the best newer Trophies (not Bayliner anymore) build quality good Etec's are quite frugal compared to older generation 2 strokes so may not be as bad as Rob states. I used to use just around 1 litre per mile with my 150hp opti and would guess the etec would be similar Agree with Rob on the trailering issues you might be better with a mooring except for maintenance costs (not just anti foul) or stack and store but then the costs do start to escalate. It's all down to own preferences and the depth of the pocket Martin

I was really sorry to hear of this on Sunday Paul. Hope your insurance co plays ball and coughs up in double quick time so you can get back out on the water and put it all behind you. Martin

Congrats Nige superb fish I must get me over that ways soon! Martin

I have not had an offer of rope for over a year now and don't expect an offer anytime soon so best buy what you need. I believe some members had bought some off a chap on fleebay but I don't know the addy. I think Paul Dore had another chap he used and found to be ok Martin

I feel this thread has run it's course and will serve no purpose remaining open so I shall close it Martin

well it made i laugh

Bob I believe you are referring to the article Keith wrote in the Angling Times and a response was forthcoming from the AT as follows:

Guys this forum is a vehicle to discuss and put across your points but please be aware you are responsible for what you write. We will take down any comments that others find offensive, they only have to ask. Please don't turn me into the forum police, take care in what you post. Martin

Sweeter than cod and definitely whiting Martin

So did I Paul and you also said it would be your last comment Welcome Peter Martin
