Maverick Martin

James Took Maverick out of Poole on Saturday with Dave (animal) and Alan (Domino) as crew. Weather not to bad blowing a good 4 but the sea's behaving themselves. Went out to a mark outside of the slates where on the last of the flood had Conger to 20lb (Dave), cuckoo wrasse, pout, dragonet (I think) poor cod and dogs then the tide stopped and so did the fish. Waited for the ebb it eventually started (very weak) and......nothing. Moved into the gully, very slow with dogs, pout and a small spotted ray. I think the tides this weekend were to small, no movement and no fish! Didn

The weather looks good for the week-end so I intend to take Maverick out looking for Cod. I have room for 1 is anyone up for it? could do sat or sun but will decide Fri night after the weather update Post here, PM or phone me Martin

Nice one Golden Boy, how big? and have you reported it to Charlie Martin

Billy If your lad takes an interest in the forum he can register himself as say littleboybilly or whatever and take part. Some of the other juniors have registered and occasionally take part. You know its all clean informative fun. Martin

Peter Good advice from Billy, why not register in the forum first, it cost's nothing and gives you access to all areas. Then if you like what you see join the club, cheep as chips, good company and great advice all in the price. Martin

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

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

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
