Maverick Martin

You are so predictable, I new as soon as I posted that that was the reply I would get. The toys are round and with a hole in ie: doughnut shaped and anyhow my blow up toys are more fun than you guys so I will stick with them Martin

If the weathers nice I might venture out with Veronica Wouldnt mind tagging along with you, can bring the blow up toys and skis and maybe raft up for a picnic. Your call Martin

Hi All What a fantastic day for both weather and fish, I had an absolute ball. Dean didnt do to badly and Bob (Horne) brought up the rear on Maverick. We went West and fished just off of Dancing Ledge. I seemed to get of to a flying start with Bream, dogs, Wrasse and Gars making an appearance. I bagged close on 25 Bream with the best going 2lb 11 oz. Dean had a fair few Bream I'm not sure of the weight of his best one but no doubt he will let us know. Bob struggled on the Bream he was heard to mutter something about the wrong side of the boat and the wall dividing us but he managed a few Bream and an 11lb Undulate Ray on his flattie rod which put up a bit of a struggle in the tide. On a conservation note all our Bream Bar two went back. We shall have the two kept fish for tea tommorrow We also had a ring side seat as Whisky Bravo (Portland Helicopter) rescued an injured climber just east of dancing Ledge

The magazines are usually around 3/4months behind. If I was that quick I would be out of a job Martin

Duncan We listen on channel 6 so as not to clog up 16 when calling up so direct to 6 and call up Martin ps we do dual watch so you could try 16 if no reply on 6

Hi Sinbad Good to hear from you again. Keep posting those reports we all want to know if its worth going out Martin

Mr. Fish recorder Can we now take it as we have the formula that we could all save a packet and buy cheap multimeter instead of expensive electronic scales I think we had better stop there before it gets to technical. I just want to go fishing not take a maths degree Martin

Richard your SEVEN hours commences when you start fishing and finishes seven hours later, no tea breaks allowed. Martin

Hi Dave Sorry to hear about the virus, how did you get it? I believe you can remove that virus without refromating your HD. If anyone else gets it click here I hope you didnt loose any important information, its a bas@@rd when you have to reformat your HD, takes ages to do and then you have to re-input or restore all year info. Never mind have a beer and think about your next fishing trip Martin

Paul you have made me feel a little better, batteries included with mine and I have had them over 18months with no problems Martin

Adam That is a very good price but it will probably be the cours and test only, you would have to purchase your licence after you completed the course. I would jump at it if I were you it doesnt come cheaper than that. Martin

Duncan I believe the rules for the bream comp are the same as our monthly species hunts and are FISHED OVER A SEVEN HOUR PERIOD BETWEEN 0730 AND 1630 to allow members to adjust their fishing times to suit tides, launching etc. Martin

Yep i would go along with the mechanic and Duncan on that one. Your rubbing strip is just what is says it is and not structural in any way. Martin

Newboy Glad you had a good day. You can report anything fishy on the forum as it is of interest to members and visitors alike. You cannot however record fish in the club fish book as anything caught on a fair paying charter boat is not allowed. There are more rules than that governing what fish are and are not allowed but you will learn this in time. Martin

Damn Rapala pro guide scales same as mine, I wuz stitched up again ma lud paid 40 quids for mine Bargain on ebay 29.99 Martin

Well done newboy Clever git Martin

Duncan I would agree with the points you make on Poole and your reference to Cannes. Pooles a beautiful place supposedly, trouble is most locals cannot afford it! However being a petrol head I havent really been following the diesel saga but can sympathise with you. We (petrol users) already pay top whack so know what you guys would be hit with. A seroius whack in the wallet! Martin

Cheers for the info Peter just as I suspected

Duncan That equates to around the same fuel a I use so pray that your gov or the eec don

Paul 26 miles out approx + 26miles back + drifting up and down say 26 miles (hopefully not that much) gives a total mileage of around 72 miles which equates in my boat to around 18 galls which at

Mark I would probably drift the rips but would be guided by more experienced members who have fished the mark before? Martin

Charlie Talking to Mr. Caines on our recent trip that you might of heard about, he said that the pollock are on the channel marks first with cod coming in a little later and that the next week or two should see their arrival. So fingers crossed that he is right as I have enough Pollock in the freezer. Adam any date for me is fine except for club comps which I will be fishing in preference to other excursions. Martin

Hi I have Rapala electronic scales, they are very good although it is difficult to get a true reading on the boat as they are quite sensitive. Still better than the cheap spring balance kind though. I paid around

Adam I think you'll find that the week-end of the 12th, 13th June is our 48 hour specimen hunt Martin

Tides for Sunday 6th June at Poole entrance Low water 0640 height 0.4 High water 1259 height 1.94 Low water 1909 height 0.62 as Newboy says quite large tides Martin
