The most appropriate line so far is it's only 16'.... Any boat suitable for angling that length unless supported by tubes will give a hard ride. Reason being you need a fairly beamy boat to length for stability at anchor. This then impacts on the deadrise of the boat ie shallower V meaning the boat hurts more on impact with water due to the flatter bottom profile of the boat. Tubes give more stability and therefore allow for a narrower boat with more deadrise ie sharper V I used to own a hardy 17' We drove that boat fairly hard and it paid us back with back crunching landings that said I probably had as much if not more fun in that boat as I do now in a 27 footer Martin

Hey Jason I was only wondering the other day where you had got to How you doing? Martin

Thanks Terry Dean and I have booked two beds. If anyone is desperate that leaves one bed in that room available for 2 nights. Martin

I have heard different so hopefully the reoprt I heard was correct Martin

Due to Dean cancelling last minute I have a spare place. We will be going west Breaming If interested phone martin on 01202 721955 Martin

Just Phil and myself going now. Apparently Deans on the last of a 3 day stag do and won't be in a fit state for fishing tomorrow If anyones interested in a last minute place I now have 1 spare seat for tomorrow Martin

Awol will be out tomorrow with Dean and Phil for crew. As the Bream have now been confirmed in several places I think we will be trying Dancing ledge Anyone else out? give us a shout on 6 Martin

Is anyone else looking to book ice from South Coast Ice? I could collect for the Rockley Boats if needed Martin - AWOL 2 boxes Tony - Serenity 2 boxes

I'm not excited at all Not a lot of help but it gives me something to do whilst counting the days away Martin

Happy Birthday Kam hope you catch lots Martin

The Arrogance of Authority A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Montana and talked with an old rancher. He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher said, "Okay , but don't go in that field over there.....", as he pointed out the location. The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, " Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me !" Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher. "See this badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land !! No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear......do you understand ?!!" The rancher nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores. A short time later, the old rancher heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull...... With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified. The rancher threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs..... (I just love this part....) "Your badge, show him your BADGE........ ! !"

Weather permitting we will be in East Cowes with Serenity for a few days on the red mind enhancing liquid Good luck with whatever you decide to go for Martin
