Maverick Martin

Charlie was going to look into the chances with PYC I'm sure he'll respond here but I will email and chase as well. Martin

Still looking for crew for Sunday...any takers, failing that I'll be decorating at home Martin

Hi Rich Sunday is good for me and would coincide with the club species hunt but I could do Saturday at a push. Would need to know pronto if sat is your only option Martin

Intend going out from Poole and try for cod, notice I said try If anyone interested in crewing then PM or phone me. Martin

Charlie On the point of watt (excuse the pun) power to use. I frequently hear charter boats that fish the IOW grounds and beyond who have stated on the radio they can see each other, They then carry on chatting, these guys must be on full power for me to pick them up 14/15 miles away so who are the idiots. I always (well almost) try to use low power on first calling then switch to full/high power if no response is heard. I think some of the so-called professionals are not so courteous in their use of radio as they would like others to be. Most of us so called idiots are more professional than the professionals in the use of radio. Gripes aside we should all try and use low power whenever possible. And obviously don

Hi Gary Happy Birthday trust its been a goodun Martin

Correct if they aint on the wessex specimen list they won't count in the open comp as we have no reference point but there is nothing to say you cannot claim a club record with a herring. Martin

Hi Harry Firstly welcome to our home on the net and hope you enjoy the site. Regarding your purchase of a Warrior 165 there are several in the club now and I have heard nothing but good reports about them so it looks like you chose wisely there. In Poole you have several options for launching. The first is Baiter slipway that is off of Labrador Drive. The slip is a good tarmac surface that extends about 70/80 metres seaward. There is plenty of parking for both car and trailer. The downside is that it is shallow and you will have to unhitch and push the boat into deeper water to get your boat of the trailer. Cost wise its about

Most of the harbour is mud so my guess is that

Guys A shrimp rig is either a very small hockeye rig or tiny feather type lures. You can catch herring usually in the main shipping channel but could be anywhere in it. A good place to start is around Aunt Betty and work your way down the channel until you find them. Martin

You bet he will Martin

Tom I think you would struggle when in deep water with a tide running full chat, even with creeping up on the anchor it would be hard work, bin there had the blisters but thankfully recovered Martin

Tom You have email with the latest members list attached, this has Rich's home no on it Martin

As Adam said a beautiful start in the harbour and down the swash. It did get progressively worse the further out we went with the winds as forecast a strong 4 occasionally 5. As we were going across it could still maintain about 18knots. Got to the gully and turned into the sea in preparation for dropping the hook, down to 5 knots with water crashing over the cuddy but anchored with no mishaps. Got the rods out baited up and dropped them down. Knock knock yep into a decent eel, couldn

Chris Nice report The water temp is still quite high so expect the unexpected. When are you taking Helena out this year? not before our open comp I hope Martin

Tom Do you buoy your anchor alderney ring style? You (or Sam) would struggle to haul up by hand Martin
