Maverick Martin

Due to the inclement weather with freezing conditions forecast tonight this months meeting has regrettably been cancelled See you all in January Martin BTW comptetition and social dates for 2011 will be posted here later today/friday

Happy birthday and all the best John, hope you have a good day Martin

Here's the recent echo article http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/dist...800_000_marina/ For boats 12-15 metres is not exactly for local small boaters but there is talk in the port master plan of a possible larger marina in Hamworthy later Martin

Adam I'm glad it was you that had to make the call, not an easy job but someone has to do it. For what it's worth I would have made the same call Martin

Good news if the harbour commissioners construct a new facility for use by the general public however seeing will be believing. The bridge is being built for the developers of the old power station site not the people of Poole. BOP seem to cock everything up they touch, just look at Poole town centre....a mess and not worth going into on a weekend, overdeveloped no infrastructure and inadequate parking and facilities. Yet again another white elephant planned by the powers at bop Martin

All weather sites are predicting nne ene 4/5 at the moment as I'm sure you all know I'm sure Adam will be along later to make the decision Martin

Brian I think you will find that was a voluntary trial area the link goes to the proposed mcz area that will be an exclusion zone to most sea users Martin

I have been asked to put this up here for all to see. I have personally voted against the restrictions in this area as I cannot see that private craft anchoring will do much if any damage. Imagine no more family day rafting up

" Give me a Ring some time " BIG BOY OK old fella You really should learn not to bite however your just like me, oldish and an easy pull it's nearly as much fun as fishing for fish Martin

Which reminds me Adam I still have a spare ring piece of yours "Jim behave" Martin

O dear and all weather sites are now predicting the sameish windy weather I think I need a new hobby Martin

XC weather saying the same but windfinder are giving next Monday as the best day however Sunday on that site still looks fishable Fingers crossed Martin

1) Adam F - JV 2) Graham - Little Sal (with Sprinter as crew) 3) Martin, Dean, Terry Bartell "AWOL"

Think these are the guys your looking for http://www.burnhamboats.co.uk/ I must say their website is much improved on what it used to be Martin

I prefer hooks smaller in the wire and use Uptide hooks 7/0 or 8/0 pattern no 79515 or similar Martin

Yep give me a call Martin

If the weather is kind we will be going east to the IOW car park, if less favourable will fish a mark 3-5miles SE off of Old Harry or if pants go for flounder in PH You are more than welcome to tag along with us Martin

Awol will be fishing whatever the weather man says. Cod fishing if its ok or entering the PSAC flounder comp if its not I know where I would rather be Martin

Adam Club comps first as the core membership should come first and all other trips are secondary. On that basis I agree with your first set of dates. That said I will go across the channel when the weather allows me especially as I didn't make the crossing last year Martin

Lads well done on trying Sounds like it was really hard work but if you aint init you can't win it Martin

1. Mrs Sea Greg + Crew TBC 2. Alfresco, Charlie Sam and Dan + crew TBC 3. Quest II Tom, Chris + 1 0r 2 TBC 4. Awol Martin, Dean + 1 TBC

Sickening

Nice one James another great report with quality pictures. You kayak guys certainly get about and seem to have some good days out Martin

Greg I also hope you do as I am looking forward to meeting you again. One thing is for sure you will get all the help you need from our end. Martin

Bump Don't forget to fish this one guys Martin
