All the paperwork has now been printed and some handed out so the competition will be fished to the sheets printed. ie if no specimen size on our sheet for a particular species then it wont be allowed to be weighed in Martin

Alun Thats club records and not specimen sizes. I have a copy in excel format but havent had time yet to edit to fit on here. All entrants will receive a copy of the wessex specimen sizes on the day. Martin

Thanks Mike. There seemed to be a mix up with email addresses, all sorted now Martin

Brian wipe that grin from your face Enjoy your warrior there great little boats Martin

Much better to give the set a position that way in the event of an emergency and when you push the dsc button it will not only send a distress signal but will also give your position to the recipients Martin

Craig It sounds like you have not conected you gps or plotter to the radio. This meens it is not receiving your position and therfore cannot operate as a dsc radio should Martin

Hi Tim Welcome to the club, we did meet on the alderney trip and at another open comp I think. RE confirmation bobf sent confirmation and welcoming letter to your hotmail account on the 11th August, I was copied in. If you didnt received it let me know and I will try and forward it to you. Enjoy the club Martin

We will be out on Friday at least maybe another day as well Martin

I have the Icom IC-M411 The radio performs well and has a reasonable speaker quality. Its only downside is the small screen text size Martin

In that case welcome Steve & Dennis Martin

Welcome Wrasster glad you finally managed to log on as a member, Never had so much trouble from a new member Enjoy the club and its forum Martin

Happy birthday all Carl enjoy your holiday were all hoping the wind follows you Martin

Well done Rachael, congrats Adam and welcome little Reuben Let the fun begin Martin

Multiplaitt or octiplait are the best warps to use as they are nice and soft, have plenty of stretch and coil beautifully. The only downside is the cost of the stuff. Chain is a must with whatever warp you decide to use it has three functions the first is to hold the stem of the anchor down so your flukes (or whatever) have a direct full along the sea bed therefore helping your anchor to set, 2 is to assist in cushioning the jerks/snatch that will happen on the anchor so helping it to stay held and 3 to stop chafe to your warp. With a decent rope and chain anchoring set up you will need less scope than using rope that doesn't stretch or inadequate chain. The benefit of a better anchor set up will be noticed more the deeper you try and anchor. On AWOL I have a 7 kilo Bruce main anchor with 140 metres of 12mm multiplait and 10 metres of chain. Rarely is there a problem with the anchor holding. Deck hardware should not be a problem so long as a decent backing plate has been fitted behind your anchor post/cleat. Martin

Dean and I probably only fished for abour 2.5 hours the rest of the day was spent playing and socialising alongside Serenity Scores on the doors for us are very poor Martin 4 mackerel Dean 4 Mackerel 1 Scad I did have a play in Durlston bay but used a slither of macky caught Pollock and had a Bass follow but of course not caught on lure so these don't count but still a bit of fun Martin
