Jeez look at the state of the squid/squirt in the middle Martin

Graham if you would like to forward me the email I will post the picture/s up here for you, unless of course Adam or Wedger have already bought it Martin

Terry as keeper of the moulds Rob takes his task very seriously he probably doesn't think anything of the sorts about you but I on the other hand will count them Martin

I have moulds at my house. Assuming no one else is on the waiting list and its ok with Rob you could collect from me Martin

Jon With your budget and criteria I would be looking either an Alaska 500, Hardy 17 fisherman, Shetland family 4 or 535 sunstrip, Wilson flyer 17, Task Force 550, Pilot 17 (not the type you were looking at see the last link in my post). http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/JFF283 http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/PAA12860 http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/PAA3102 http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/PAA11809 These links are not recommendations as I have not seen the boats in the flesh but might give you an idea of what to look for Hope this helps Martin

The first time out since the club open, don't care about the weather we gotta go. Anyone else out? If you are give us a shout on 6 Martin

Hi Jon The Plymouth pilots are good little boats with loads of space but they don't go to quickly. 6 to 8 knots will be the max you will get. That in itself is not a problem if you are happy fishing well inshore but wouldn't be any good for going further afield. On the plus side you could probably run the boat all day long on 10-15 litres of diesel Martin

Wow what a stonkin plaice, well done Martin

I am thinking of having some minor repairs and other adjustments done to my Bimini wheel house/covers Does anyone know anyone who would undertake these works? if so a number would be good Thanks in advance Martin

Happy Birthday James hope its been good Martin

You certainly do...........all of us Only joking Martin

Have a good trip Niggle, I hope TEam Sea Mistress has good results. I'm off to Ireland myself on friday but unfortunately not fishing Martin

Good news then Mike and well done Hurn Plastics Martin

If your not busy we'll come and say hello and let you buy us a beer Martin

Dean and I are going to Southampton International Boat Show on Sunday. Will look at all the fishing type boats but my main reason for going this year (I go every year lol) is to look at radar and associated electronics Are you going? if so when and what for? Martin BTW if you do go have a good stress less day

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I would hold the boatyard responsible and try to claim on their insurance. I have used Martin Cobb for repairs on my boats he is first class and based in Poole. I would think he travels to Christchurch as it isn't more than 20 mins away on a bad day. His number is 07860200220 Martin

Phone them and find out but I paid about

But I know where I would rather be

Graham I think you will find the guys at Rockley flush your engine with muffs and quickly rinse the exterior of the boat. That has been the policy until this year but may change due to new management. There is water and power available in the yard should you want to do it yourself. Re cost in additional fuel with Rockley being at the wrong end of the harbour. In the summer months its 1/2 hour each way to the entrance in the winter its around 12 mins Make you own calculations but for me its 17-20 litres a day before we get to what I would consider to be a starting point. That said there are no stack and store facilities close to the entrance that charge sensible money I must say that this year the new yard manager has changed systems and tried to get the boatyard on a more professional footing, he is winning slowly. If he gets the funding from Rockley that he wants/needs to update things the yard should come good within the next year or so Martin

Only day I can make the boat show so sorry can't make this one that should give all you others a chance Martin

Alun Enjoy your holiday you deserve it almost as much as I do See you when you return Martin

Hi Lofty Thanks for the report. All reports short and long, lots or no fish are all helpful in building a bigger picture Cheers Martin

Last call before they go to the bin Martin
