OOOops Forgot to give my report Rich and I went west to Dancing ledge, struggled to get mackerel but got enough for bait and topped that up durinbg the course of the day. First drop I have a small thornback ray of around 5lb a good omen for the day thought i. From then on in it got slow. I did manage a 9lb3oz undulate and a 13 oz Cucko Wrasse, what a spectacularly beautiful looking fish, very tropical like. Also had a Bream of 2lb 8oz. So not a disaster but could have been a lot better. I'll let Rich tell of what he had. Martin

Peter Nice fish If its digital or you have scanned it into your pc can you email it to either Paul or myself. we can load it for you. Although if you know where the photo is stored ie which drive (probably your camera, on my pc its drive F) and where on that drive the photo is your almost there. When you posting look for the browse button, click on that, look for the designated letter/drive for your camera or where the photo is stored selct that/select the photo/selct open and thats it. Post your message and your piccy should be there on the forum Martin

Hi James Well done mate some nice fish there. Toma if you want some of that it'll have to be a long day for you to Drive down here, fish then Drive all that way back again Martin

Mike In our club rules a pennel rig i.e two hooks in one bait is classed as one hook. There is no such rule to cover three hooks in one bait so I guess it isn't allowed. I havent heard of anyone using three hooks in one bait Martin

Newboy When collecting bait it doesnt matter how many feathers you have on your trace, its just that fish wont count in our clubs comps or awards if caught on a rod with more than two hooks. Martin

Good advice there from our local man on the scene. Cheers Dave Martin

It was all about farming cod off of Scotland in a redundant salmon farm. I have taped it if anyone wants to see it. Not very informative about cod stocks though Martin

Paul Your the man Much appreciated by all the users Martin

Nice one Pete you deserve a break mate, see you out There Martin

Adam I whole heartedly agree with your comments, some nights I just sit here clicking view new posts, and there they are, loadsa them. This forum is the best without doubt for our chosen spere of the sport (Small Boat Angling) in fact I dont think I have found another dedicated to our sector of the sport, plenty of do it alls but not quite the same are they. Our members ar fantastic, no filth, no bitching just good advice and banter EXCELLENT NB it will stay this way as us mods have the power! and we will use it. Keep it up members, you know it makes sense.........sorta.....does it... Mad Mike? Martin

? If your in the same boat surely your not crewless Martin

well thats families for you. Martin

Cheers Billy, thanks for the info Martin

Hi Sorry to disagree with Mike but you can use grip leads when down tide fishing, not that I have. You lower your takle (fishing that is) down to the bottom with your griplead in place, allow a large bow of line out which under the pressure of the tide should set the wires. Like I said I havent used this method but there is no reason why it shouldn't work Martin

I am glad we sorted you out the right name Mad Mike Martin

Duncan If it helps your crew member does not have to be a club member. However if your crew is a none club member they cannot join in the comp. The rule for minimum 2 crew is purely for safety and is obviously useful for clarrification of catches Martin

Dave you going chartering? Martin

Bob I think the rules of the club state that two hooks only to be fished so if you had two hooks on, baited with feathers then I would say whatever you caught would count. Any more than two hooks and it wouldnt, I do however seek guidance/clarification from our fish recorder Martin

Red Gurnard as lifted from the Aquarium Project Looks the same to me

Charlie I dont know a lot about these techno things but try this, click on "view new posts" when you are sure that you have read em all click on "mark all posts as read and return to the forum" Then hopefully when you click on view new posts next time it will only display new posts. If that dont work hopefully Paul will know whats up Martin

Charlie you took the words right outa my mouth Our old freind Afishionado is now officially Mad Mike or we could abreiviate it to MnM being the sweet thing he is and our new freind is just Mike Martin

Tonight at 7.30 documentary about dwindling cod stocks on BBC 2 Quick get it on Martin

Billy Bob F and Adam F are dealing with the comp, I'm sure they will have you down if not they definately will now. Martin

Hi Mike Glad you joined us please feel free to contribute or ask anything fishy or boating related Martin

Mike You must be so old m8ty Martin
