They look almost edible, good job

Me but have you seen this spooler ? Alternatively use a multiplier lol

Apparently Wessex Water are still looking for the hole in their water main

I remember that report well Adam, really was scary and I wasn't even there lol

Adam just looking at your recalling the history part of the club and for those that are interested would like to update with this. Our first club online presence was indeed on Phantom Fisher. I negotiated with the owner to have our own page on his site. Unfortunately this only lasted a few months before due to personal circumstances he pulled the plug and closed the site. Our experience with this site however planted the seed that we needed our own online presence. Another website based in the solent/isle of wight area (Solent Angler?) was at that time the largest fishing site in our area. I contacted Chris the then owner and agreed with him that we could temporarily have our own page/section on his site whilst we sorted our own. Chris welcomed us with open arms. Our part of this website soon became the dominant section of Chris's site. He was infectiously enthusiastic on building his site and sea angling in general. This page really took off and gave the club such a boost in interest/membership. After an appeal I had contact with a former member of the solent fishing site who agreed to build a site for us but this turned out to be a walk up a garden path and a total waste of time except for my meeting Paul Dore. Paul admitted he had not had much (or was it any) experience of building websites but he could write code so would give it a go. Paul built our original website and forum for no cost followed by subsequent updates and at least one rebuild. A lot of work was put into building both the club and the website in the early years. I am sure we would not have gotten as far as we have had it not been for Paul and I for one will be eternally grateful for his help laying the foundations of the club we have today. Oli is our current webby and has done a great job on our latest rebuild and maintaining what we have now. To all those reading we are interested in your story. How did you become a sea angler, from a young age, old age or just happened on? tell us the ins and outs I will try to recall my angling history from when I was a young lad until the present day and post in the next few days.

Excellent, really looking forward to the next chapter Adam

Happy birthday Dave, trust you had a great day (fishing maybe?)

Well done Jim on getting out, shame about the fish but as they say "a bad day on the water is better than a good day in the office" whatever that is lol

Happy birthday guys, hope you had a great day

Wishing you a very happy birthday Trevor

Lol on safari at the watering hole

Happy birthday Sam, have a goodun

Sorry but its definately the new broom syndrome

Brian sorry they are. Justin Business Park, 6, Sandford Ln, Wareham BH20 4DY

Ben get hydraulic trim tabs or electrically operated blades both are adjustable to the conditions and won't catch you out in a following sea (if you remember to retract) Get a set that automatically retract when you turn off the ignition, they may all do that now but never used to which led to damage on Awol when she was retrieved on drystack. The fixed type of trim tabs are not adjustable during a day out and awkward to retract in a larger boat. If your prop needs repitching I believe Darglow engineering at Holton Heath can do this. 1" of pitch equates to roughly 200rpm failing them send it to Clements Marine

I must get some of this stuff

Saw you and Yan coming back in under the 20:30 bridge, sounds like you had a pleasant afternoon/eve

Pinched from Laura

But she should be back in the water by the end of the week

I do I do however I would need a bucket of water placed next to my boat...........................as its still on the hard

I won't be out tomorrow so you should all have a beano of a day without me there scaring the fish off

Love it Adam, a first class DB job

Have a great day Gary, what boat do you now have? Bridge lifting times have reverted to normal from today

You might have to go digging
