Dam if it hadn't been for the BBQ I would of loved to Martin

Now what are we going to eat at the Barbe FWIW I also had a crap day. Went to Makro to land a load of chicken, burgers sausages and Pork belly for the ribs and belly pork along with chocolate cake lime cheese cake and several other culinary delights but alas it was really hard going with hardly any stock jumping in the trolley. Still I am undeterred will return tomorrow for another drift through the aisles Martin

I am quite happy to act as go between if that makes life easier Martin

Hi Bill Happy birthday hope you had a good one Sorry its late but been away all week end Martin

Hi Simon Excuse Derek he never put his glasses on As Derek says welcome to our clubs forum and why not become a full member by joining the club proper. It's easy to do via paypal or come along to a meeting to see what we are all about. You won't find a more helpful bunch of guys Martin

Excellent and thanks Steve for all your help and support given freely to our club, it's much appreciated. You are a true ambassadeur for our sport and the port of Poole Martin

Nope Rob has them as Barney was next on the list, then you then Stu Martin

As an aside that must be an excuse to go and buy some new fishing gear.............for the new crew member of course

FANTASTIC news and well done all Look forward to seeing Charlotte Isabelle at the BBQ....? Martin & Veronica

Just to let all know I have now completed updating the forum status of those that have not rejoined the club. If you feel your status has been changed in error please let either myself or Paul D know Martin

Welcome Karl Take part and enjoy your membership Martin

Many happy returns all, hope you enjoyed your day and the rest of the eve Martin

Would agree with you and thats what I would reccomend and use myself should I ever fish for those brutes Martin

Agread on the stainless hooks I haven't used them for about 15 years or so Martin

Can't see the problem Graham either the fish snaps or bites you off then swims around with a hook with either a length wire or mono attached, the hook will eventually fall out along with whatever is attached to it. Martin

Superb looking boat Tomo Look forward to seeing her on the water Martin

Happy Birthday Charlie hope the family have loads of treats lined up for you Martin

Just checked on the long range forecast with most sites giving acceptable weather

Wow James you guys certainly have some adventures, yet another superb report making it feel as though we were there Cheers Martin

Have a great one Dave Martin

I would have either 25 or 30lb leader with 30lb braid for general fishing. Hook lengths would be 20-25lb amnesia/flouro or similar for pollock/cod 20lb amnesia/flouro or similar or turbot etc. Your 150lb will be fine for tope but although I would use around 60/80lb for that with maybe a short piece of wire if expecting larger specimens although I don't normally bother with the wire.

Absolutely Charlie If anyone wants to change the club competition rules (or any other rules) they can discuss here, at a meeting and if they still want to proceed can put forward a proposal to the AGM Committee are only in posts to do the members bidding, that said they are all entitled to a view although the chairman should not be to vociferous (is that a word or did I just make it up ) Martin
