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

Martin

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

but at the moment am crewless trying to hook up with Duncan who is in the same boat

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

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

Yep a 2.75tc carp rod is a powerful rod and so long as there isnt to much tide would be perfect for light line fishing

Have fun

Martin

Andy

I would consider fishing with a 20lb class rod and 15lb line as medium weight fishing. I use 20lb class tackle for most of my downtide work coupled with a penn ld reel loaded with 25/30lb braid.

Mike has explained what he considers to be light line tackle and I would agree that is fishing very light. I like using a 12lb class rod with a 6000/7000 reel loaded with 20lb braid for general fishing, and a spinning rod loaded with 10lb line for inshore stuff.

All the above are of course tide dependant as the amount of weight you need to hold bottom will dictate what outfit you can comfortably use. Not good to try and haul up a 2lb lead on light spinning gear

Martin

Some think he works, but he always seems to be on ere when I log on, and thats quite frequent

Martin

Dave

Good luck with the house hunting matey, can be a fractious time. Still looking around Merley/Wimborne?

My boy (Dean) is an estate agent in corfe mullen (another pleasant area) if your interested email me what your looking for along with contact details and I'l ask him to keep his nose to the ground

Martin

Hi Andy
