Maverick Martin

Mr. Whyatt Good idea and could you copy your recipe there as well, it makes it easier for peeps when they are looking for cooking ideas later Cheers Martin

Nice one Scott cracking fish. Don't forget to register your fish with the fish recorder using the email catch report link at the top middle of the page. Cheers Martin

Spot on Tom

After the 48 hour comp and me fishing all that week end I felt I should stay at home and give ere indoors some time Well I decided to do some of the jobs on the boat that you just never seem to get around to at least I don't One of those jobs was to inspect the flares and check them over, ooops out of date and it seems like only yesterday when I replaced them. Also changed the fire extinguisher which looked ok but had been on the boat for 6 years Anyhow decided to try the old one to see what they go like. Pulled out the safety pin, pulled the trigger and put put put it hardly came out so that was a good job done. Me horn is also playing up so looked at it

Hard luck on the weather Les. Good to hear from you, see you soon Martin

Rich Look forward to reading your article Martin

We are looking to increase content on this site to make it even more attractive than it already is. To this end are there any members/visitors/guests suitably literate who would be prepared to put articles together or indeed anyone who is not literate but has the ideas and can do draft articles that could be polished up by others? (Guests you will have to register to respond but it is free!) Articles could be stories or information based about fishing (obviously) boating, mechanical, electrical, how to, what if, we can, would you, fact, fiction in fact anything that is entertaining or informative about our sport and associated skills. Any budding pen pushers out there? Martin

Nice one Gordon Back to reality and 4oz pout Martin

All the best Charlie, hope you had a good day. Where you bin? were missing you Martin

I was anchored one evening out of Poole quiet happily fishing away then in the distance Barfluer appeared on a heading directly towards Maverick When he was about 2/3 miles away I called him up on the vhf and explained we were anchored in his path, the french guy came back and acknowleged he had seen us and that he would alter course which he did. I was a little worried about contacting him and did think about slipping anchor but the captain was very cordial. A bit long winded but the answer to your question is yes call them up but do also have a back up plan ready, just in case! Martin

Al The Parkstone trades and Labour Club is situated on the left hand side (coming from B/mth) 3/4 of the way along immediately before a Petrol station (Esso?) See you later Martin

Hi Steve Nice report, you seem to have had a better weekend than I did Have changed your name I guess that's the name you wanted? Martin

James No your not the only one who has to work and I also passed wind this morning Sorry its the Chardonnay talking not me Martin

What a blinder of a day well done Martin

We are having a stall at the Poole Afloat show. There will be a couple of A boards with photos of either boats or fish or both, that is if you have any Please either email your photos to me ( no more than a couple at a time please) or put them on a disc and bring to the meeting Or better still if you save me a job and print them on A4 size paper Cheers Martin

Some cracking specimens there lads (and lasses). Well done to all who entered and a special well done to Paul D on a cracking Bream. Thanks to Bob F and Adam F for organising the week-end and for ordering in the weather, what a cracking week-end it was. Only one problem, you forgot to tell the fish where I was Martin

A good attempt by one of our newest members. I can see we are going to have to watch the record books closely this coming year Martin

Well Done Mike, you must learn to get the kids to catch, that keeps em interested Martin

Our november open and all other specimen sizes are based on the NFSA (wessex region) specimen list. I think there was a link on our site or was it on our old site? Martin

No you can't Either of the two spots you suggest should be good. Southbourne will have less tide so may be more comfortable fishing (lighter) but whitehouse grounds does offer a large variety of species and options The choice is yours Martin

The reason specime weights changed was that the NFSA updated there list and as we use their specimen sizes we updated ours (I think ) Martin

Alun and PJ have the trigger bite/fight spot on, sounds like you had a ray of some description Martin

Nice one Fred, good to hear the Bass are around in some quantity Martin

Happy birthday Trev have a goodun Martin
