Rods 12lb class for the flaties and most other things, 20lb for the wrecks. 4' Traces 25lb flouro or amnesia with 3/0-5/0 hooks ideal. Take a spinning rod or very light boat rod in case we go close inshore for reef pollock...brilliant fun Martin

Yep was Domino aka Alan. I wonder how he's doing, haven't heard from him for a long while. Martin

Hi Brian Firstly welcome to pbsbac forum. Spend a bit of time learning the phonetic alphabet and you will pass. After a day on these coureses you would have to try really hard to fail. Martin

Trevor Would agree with Paul that its ok to launch and retrieve but need to retrieve + or - two hours from low water. The bar is as much a problem as the slip but again don't try going over it at low water Martin

Go on Paul give us a laugh....err if you want to loose your regular crew that is

The answer is get up very early as its the early boater that gets the trailer spaces

Mad Mike lol yes please Mike your help and entertainment will be much appreciated Please see the new thread under club members Martin

Yes there is. We have hopefully booked a stall for the club at the Canford Arena Boat Jumble although I havent heard back from them yet confirming the booking. I must phone them monday to chase them up. I will start another thread giving details of how it works and whats required. Martin

Just found this on another site Make interesting reading Martin

Crazy It wasn't a committee meeting but a club meeting. Its not the children that are trouble it's the PC brigade and the sue them now think about it later lot that tend to curb what clubs like ours could offer kids. Shame but thats the world we now live in Martin

Would be a good boat for you Kam

Well done Paul your a braver man than I Martin

The evening was a great success, thanks to Charlie, Bob and Trevor for taking care of the arrangements. Thanks also to PYC for allowing us the use of their facilities. Sam excellent leaflet which we shall be using to promote the club. These will be distributed to tackle shops and at the Boat jumble, which reminds me I must book our space Martin

Wow thats some serious fishing . Some cracking Bass reported there and his mate had one the following day just under the Guernsey record. Martin

Hi Nick Good to see the oppossing team visiting here Why not register and make full use of the forum, we won't charge you or the Poole Dolphins Club.... honest Martin

Personal choice rears its head again. I always use braid I love the stuff, it's light and thin, the no stretch (almost) gives you immediate contact or feel of bites and this alone make it best for me, you can almost feel a fish swim bye . That aside I always use with a mono leader. If in deep water I will use a little over a rod length if in the shallows us around 4' or for you younguns 1.25 metresish. The reason I use a mono leader is not to add a stretchy buffer as your rod and a lighter set clutch should give you the buffer you need, its to counteract chaffing/abrasion damage. Braid is also a lot more expensive than mono so the reasoning is if I'm going to lose some gear in the rocky bits that the bream love it will be the cheaper mono. As to makes I used to use Gorrilla braid which was good but have now gone over to Whiplash which I find brill At the end of the day you pays yer money and makes your choice, mine's made all my reels are loaded with braid cause braided lines make lighter fish feel bigger Martin

Simon Poster for the Dolphins Bream comp attached below Charter or private boat entries are welcome. Dean won last years comp so we will definately be entering again this year Martin

Bye Bye great white hello new thingy
