Hi All You have to keep rubbing it in that I couldnt go fishing but glad to read all your reports it nearly makes up for not being on the water Paul glad to hear Helens new vehicle tows the boat ok, Helen look out Pauls got his eyes on your new motor Martin

I use mustad uptide hooks pattern 79515 and havent had a problem to date, Great for bait presentation and with a forged bend are quite strong. I think there brilliant hooks. Either that or I havent been catching the biguns on em Nb I wouldnt use them for tope though There good but not that good. Martin

Outdrive/Z drive/Stren Drive/ legs are all attached to inboard engines and do not have a rudder. They drive the boat in similar fashion to outboards ie the propellor moves port or starboard when the helm is turned Martin

Complcated this fishing lark just do what feels right you will soon learn when losses mount Martin

Adam Sorry Juniors are to age 16. Your bro doesn't look that old in the photo Martin

Cheers Bob

Yep 6.4metres of plasic heaven plus any overhang for the engine (do they count the overhangs?) Martin

Cheers for clarifying Bob you are of course correct in your very articulate description of how to fight/play fish Adams explanation of fishing jellies/shads is also correct Knot classes start soon Bob will you be attending Martin

Well done Charlie and gang I missed out today busy earning Brownie points for next week-end Hopefully weather permitting I will be fishing all week-end next week Martin

Nice one Andy, Sounds like you have some good fishing up your way at the moment. And the weather gods looked down on you and smiled Martin

Hi Andy Whoever told you that is correct, dont bully your fish and savour the moment. Make sure your clutch is set correctly and you shouldnt loose to many fish Martin
