  1. Second pass between the islands and its away biggrin.gif I pick up the rod, set the lever to strike and wait for the line to tighten. as it pulls tight I hit it and in the blink of an eye 100 yards of line is gone and the line falls slack sad.gif
  2. Hi Andy

     

    Glad you enjoyed your first adventure out in the boat and good to meet your good lady. BTW FPO stands for "fishing permission officer"

     

    We launched at about 11am from Cobbs with no mishaps and the only annoyance being some flash family with their new Range Rover, shiney boat and huge new Honda blocking the slip. They couldn't get the ob to start and decided to move the car adjacent the boat on the slip then connect up jump leads etc etc, why the guy couldn't haul his boat off the slip and allow others users full use is beyond me. Anyway other than the fact that we had to launch on the awkward side of the slip all went smoothly, even ere indoors handled the ropes impeccably, she

    I can take a piccy for you and post it if you give me the log on details. Alternatively if you have an ordinary printed photo drop it at mine and I'll scan it and send it

  4. Well predicted winds for sunday are westerly around 14/15 mph So it looks like the best places to shelter from the winds would be either South Deep (western side of Green Island) or maybe Studland bay which (good for ice creams and swimming sick.gif ), as its a bank holiday weekend would probably be very busy.

     

    Any other ideas?

  6. Next Sunday 28th May is our first family day this year.

     

    Last year we had our first on the water gathering at Pottery Pier (northish side of brownsea island) 8 or 9 club boats rafted up and had lunch, a few drinks and the hardy had a dip in the briney then off for a cruise about. Excellent way to pocket some points tongue.gif

     

    The plan will be to get afloat by about 12, make contact on the vhf ch6 to see where we can gather, meet up and just play it by ear from there on in.

     

    Lets just hope the weather gets better in time and if it does Maverick will be out will you?

  7. I believe next weekend is our first family day out so that would be no good. Best leave it as the 48hour comp. Trouble is we have such a busy calendar.

     

    Adam has emailed Burnham already so best not muck them around assuming they are not busy that weekend of course.
