Common skate were at one time common along the south coast and fish over 100lb were regularly caught. Unfortunately this was before my time so I cannot give any personal accounts. Every year sees reports of unstoppable fish and I will never forget one evening a pal and I were fishing around the Poole patch area when something picked up my gear and started moving up tide and didn

Jack As you say not all humans are appreciative of our need to communicate with our fellow fisher folk. I get exactly the same response from ere indoors but I dare not interrupt her ladyship when any of the soaps are on , now how sad is that Martin

Hi John Welcome to Poole Bay Small Boat angling clubs website. Please join in and become a part of our community Martin

Duncan Whiplash is pukka stuff you'll be well pleased with it. Did you do a deal with Andy or elsewhere? Martin

They do a system that is supposed to have no feed back, this is supposed to be better than ordinary push pull cables and would be cheaper than hydraulic steering Martin

Tony I think Mark suffered with stiffness in his steering that was why his was changed. Most boats will try and pull to the left this is due to the inertia of the prop trying to throw the boat to one side. The larger the engine and prop the greater the effect. I have got hydraulic steering on my boat and this pretty much negates the feeling even thought the engine has 150 gee gees Martin

Hi all Has anyone got room in their freezer for storage? I am arranging with Trev to collect the fish magnet so please either please have a word with me tonight at the DD or phone me today if your not going to the DD Cheers Martin

Hi Trev Yep me too, would like to give your groundbait a go and would give my comments on the results Martin

Bob Do you meen Mark?

Duncan I have tried some of the Climax braid and it is brilliant, really thin for its diameter, nearly as thin as whiplash and easy to use very limp and roundish Martin

Hi Barry Nice to hear that we can still get good service from dealers and manufacturers. You praised shakespeare with a plug who is the dealer? would be good to know as if we are ever in your neck of the woods it could be useful to us Martin

Hi Paul I am around sunday if you need another body Give us a bell Martin

Duncan Andy at Poole Sea angling has some braid on offer, not a bulk spool but enough on a spool to service one reel at around

Big ones that can hold there breath for a long time Sorry couldn't resist, I havent got a clue mate. Martin

Hi Alex I think Mark who is registered on this forum as "Loyal Royal" has a quicksilver 640. He bought it new last year, I believe he loves the boat and I'm sure he will post here if he finds it. You could look him up under the members button on the bar above and email him for his thoughts. Martin
