Sorry, nearly missed this. Happy Birthday Duncan. Allan.

Happy Birthday Greg. Hope you have a good one. Catch you soon on F Pontoon. Allan.

Been a while now since we used to see you at Baiters when I used to launch there. Happy Birthday. See you out there. Allan.

Happy Birthday to you both. Allan.

Happy Birthday to you both. Make it a special one. Allan.

Sounds as if you had a good day as well with some nice fish. Allan.

Left Cobbs at 7.15 a.m. after de icing the boat. The newly installed heater proving very effective once it had warmed up. I think we were lucky to get through the Town Bridge as neither span seemed to want to lift properly. We were greeted by a thick fog bank once we got near the Island and decided to give the sun a little longer to lift and the fog to disperse. A quick call to a friendly charter soon told us it was clearing outside the Harbour and half an hour later, we were down in the Southbourne Area. Fish were plentiful from the off. Dogs, whiting, the odd ray and a nice bonus tub to Dave L. Double hits of whiting were common, but the fish were mainly les than a pound with eight over 1.5 lbs and the largest at 2 lbs. Our second mark, closer to home, was slow until the tide changed. I managed the first plaice of the year and a bonus turbot. We returned through the Harbour just before 4.30 p.m. There was no airdraft indication eitherside when closed., but given the state of the tide, we made it through with plenty to spare. That Bridge is proving a real bone of contention. Overall, a much needed day out with almost cĺement weather around midday, calmer than expected and a good number of fish for this time of the year. Many thanks Dave for all the gutting and filleting and carrying my tackle box back to the car, yet again, all the trollies seem to have disappeared from F Pontoon. This will be a moan to Dave (Dogfish) tomorrow. No doubt they are all down the posh end. Mick, your aerial is sorted as requested. Allan.

Fisheagle is hoping to get out for a few hours. Leaving Cobbs about 7.15 am. The boat needs a run out and fishing will be a bonus. Should be ok to get out of the Harbour till midday on the present forcast. On Ch 6. Allan.

Will run nicely along side the Club Species Hunt and other Species Hunts. More work for Neil as cards have to be printed off and photos verified which I like. Dave L, Jan and myself are aready signed up. Main difference is it is an individual competition on any boat so could appeal to quite a wide group of anglers. Allan.

Wow, this works as well. Just need to get out and take some fishy photos. Allan.

Tried using Tablet. Let's see if mobile phone works as takes better photos due to fill in flash also much quicker to get camera up.

Happy Birtday Rich. Hope you had a good one. Allan.

Happy Birthday Kev, hope you have a great day. Allan.

Nearly mentioned this at the time of posting, but did not want to appear too pessimistic. Allan.

Noticed signs saying Blanford Road southbound closed from 2nd of January until the 13th. of January near Turlin Moor. Also, road works on the dual carriage way coming out of Poole on the Holes Bay Road somewhere between the Lifeboats and the Fire Station roundabout. Think it said 10 or 13 weeks. Will check next time along there. Allan.

Happy Birthday Paul. Have a good one. Allan.

Happy Birthday to you both, have a great day.

Many thanks Martin. Have now tried live shots and Gallery images. Just need to get out to catch something woryh taking a picture of. Seems much simpler than before.
