Same as you really, loadsa brownie point and nothing to spend em on Boy am I glad I'm going on me hols, anything to get away from the wind and rain. See you all soon, if I come back Martin

Paul When you measure the net ring if you find the tackle bargains net is suitable I'll have on please. Square up with you at the next meeting if thats ok Cheers Martin

Did you bring any spare nets back? I'm still looking If anyone knows of a source locally pls post here Martin

Damn again thats twice I read this post. I am on me hols and will miss that one Never mind I'll see you all at the next meeting Martin

Maverick has a wiper but the screen is toughened glass. I suspect as Alan has said if a wiper is fitted to a perspex screen you will be changing it regularly Martin

Rich Can't remember all the types we had, will let you know when they are returned Martin

Damn I am on me hols and will miss that one Never mind I'll see you all at the next meeting Martin

Well our November open comp is nearly upon us, 5 weeks and counting. Are we ready.......nope....... As you are aware this is the clubs major fund raiser/promotional function for the year. Currently we have a shortfall in the prize table. So the club doesn

Cheers James, next meeting will do nicely Martin

Hi James I would have loved to have come down to the Quay Thistle to see you after the comp but unfortunately I am away on the 29th I will just have to wait until our next club meeting to hear your report. Anyways good luck and just give it your best shot. Cheers Martin

Cheers Adam

The club lead weight moulds were lent out earlier this year and have been passed around. Where are they now and could I have them back soon please Martin

Same as Ed really Floatation suit in winter months and life jacket when appropriate but that may change soon as I am considering making it a rule on Maverick to wear life jackets all the time. After all they cost enough so why not wear and get used to the workings of them. Martin

Dave I am not in the market for a boat so personally wouldn

Well done Rach, give Adam a good beating did we Good to see the life jacket on! Martin

Nice one Alan Domino looks so much better with see through windows Martin

Hi The plotter issue has been discussed on this forum quite comprehensively, take a look here http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/forum/index.php?sh...1144&hl=plotter Re fish finders basically the more you spend the better the unit you will get. I use a Lowrance X91 and find this suitable for my needs. All the main line manufacturers have useful units. One thing to bear in mind is the more pixels the screen has the better the picture. Also colour can identify items better than b&w I use an icom fixed vhf unit and have an Icom handheld back up both are easy to use with all the features you would ever want, again all the mainstream manufacturers will have suitable sets. You should seriously think about DSC sets as this is the standard. You should also have an operator

Wow what a difference Alan. Did Warrior fit obscure glass as standard Martin

Welcome to pbsbac Enjoy Martin

Hi all and welcome to pbsbac have fun. Adam...... only on the south coast? Martin Ps Adam just noticed your new signature Bo@@ocks

Hi Baz Re: choice of boat, you do not say if you want it for family or purely for fishing. That aside the 535/536 are nice little boats but more suited to family uses as the cockpit space is a little limited. The Shetlands are well built boats and will give a fairly smooth/stable ride due to the gull wing hull configuration. You would be able to do all the inshore cruising and occasional fishing as well as towing skiers or blow up toys etc The Wilson flyer however is a different beast, very suitable for the serious angler. They have plenty of cockpit space for anglers and gear. A harder ride than the Shetland due to the cathedral type hull, very stable at anchor and more than suitable for the area you intend to fish. You can still play with the toys as long as a suitable (50hp +) engine is fitted. You do not need any legal documents or equipment to put to see in a small boat but I would suggest you look on our main page and take a look at our minimum requirements for our members http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/safetyequip.htm. Use this as a benchmark to putting you on the right road. The RNLI also offer free sea checks, if you are not a member of a club this might be a good idea. There is no pass or fail but they will give you plenty of advice. I cant give you any advice re the area you intend to keep your craft as I dont know the area Hope this helps Martin

James if you do dont forget to mention where you heard of them, every mention helps the club Oh and give us a report on what its like Martin

Nice one Mike Enjoy your holiday and I look forward to your report when you get home Martin
