Two spaces left for a wrecking trip on Friday onboard Flamer out of Weymouth, if any one is interested then either a PM or call me on my mobile 07791 897751. The boat won't be full( about 8 ) but you still pay the normal day cost.

Cheers guys, kind of two fold, Crabs are great on the Welsh coast for Plaice, Turbot Bass etc, and Wnen down in Poole I was looking at Wrass, Bass and Plaice, both beach and boat, but the souther cost of

Can some one advise the best place to buy Peeler crabs ? I know I could gather my own, but with a 600 mile round trip to Poole or a 250 mile trip to Welsh coast it is far easier and cheaper to buy them.

Small note, looking at the votes ( after voting ) most have gone for the true flow not the conventional thought.

Cheers Charlie, great info, although I've had this boat for nearly 4 years, the first 2 were based in North Wales, and a tank would last all summer, and while I still live in the midlands, it's not easy getting sea time out at Poole, ( boat now stored there ) last summer I put her in Cobbs for 2 seperate weeks, and only got out twice in total, both ending inside the harbour to take shelter !! Good job the charters were good, Colin Penny really knows his stuff.

Cheers Guys,very helpfull, still getting my head around fuel consumption / time & distance, tank is 90 ltr so should have loads of reserve.

In the depths of winter with summer only in the mind I am planning some of my trips for this year, as I still have not moved yet, I need to organise my time off, this is were I require some local help. I was planning on trying Chapmans Pool, Peveril Ledge and St albans head, so to ensure I am not stranded etc can any one advise average travelling time & distance to these points, I know boat size, engine & tides etc are a factor, but not many of us blast out to the horizon at full speed, so while my Suzi 90 will do 30 knots, I tend to cruise around halve that.

Thanks Charlie, I'll give it a look over, meant to be a mark for fishing in Poole bay. sounds a bit close to Ferry, may be usefull for the Kayak tho.

The description was seventeen two, so I presumed it was 17.2 , since you can't have 2 bouys with the same number.

I was given a ref the other day that included bouy 17.2 in Poole harbour, I have scanned my charts but can not find it, can any one advise ? most bouys have a lat & long to them, but sadly this info was not passed on.

Hi Shropshire Hope you are well mate. Are you down here permanently yet? Less than a Hobie, but more than a Prowler. Hi Tom, Not yet, housing market is dead in midlands, estate agents closing on a regular basis, so I am relying on 6 weekly trips down and staying at my daughters, But what a year.. had 2 seperate 2 weeks hols down in Poole, booked berth in Cobbs for a week of each, and got out once per holiday !! Having more luck with Colin Penny on Flamer, a couple of good trips, but still lost a few to wind. Hey Terry, you sound a seriously big guy if using a Salmon rod from a boat or Kayak, or am I miss reading it. My fly line is 27 yards in length, and rarely have have more than a turn or two on the spool, from a boat or bank, I'm not one of these guys trying put out backing as well, never got on with shooting heads either, Personally found 25 plus yards is more than enough, unless dry fly fishing then 15 yards is more than enough.

While I think they could be very interesting, I don'r like the idea of standing up in them, I see lots of people standing up when fly fishing and I don't know why they do it, more risk of falling overboard, more rocking of the boat, and no extra casting distance. I suspect the Cat Kayak could take off but depends on cost.

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to 'Dad.' With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter. Dear Dad: It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice. But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it's not only the passion... Dad, she's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children. Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy. In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it. Don't worry Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to know your grandchildren. Love, Your Son John PS. Dad, none of the above is true . I'm over at Tommy's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a report card. That's in my center desk drawer. I love you. Call me when it's safe to come home.

ONE BRIGHT DAY A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods. She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog said to her, 'If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes.' The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, 'Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!' The woman said, 'That's okay.' For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her, 'You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to'. The woman replied, 'That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful Woman and he will have eyes only for me.' So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world! For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, 'That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you.' The woman said, 'That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine.' So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world! The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, 'I'd like a mild heart attack.' Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them. Attention female readers : This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good. Male readers: Please scroll down. ... ... ... ... ... The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife! Moral of the story: Women are really stupid but think they're really smart. Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show. PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show that women never listen ..... now run along and put the kettle on, there's a love.

Oil Tankers are being fitted with Kites, BLxxxy great big ones, fitted in the bow and computor controlled, they calculate a saving of approx 35% ( tide and wind speed dir etc ) So yes they are viable, maybe I should think of getting her indoors to stand up front with my power kite, definetly won't look out of place in Poole bay !!
