No probs.Dave. Just so I definately get it right and up to fine dining standard, perhaps you would be kind enough to do a trial run when we do our flounder practice session the day before?

Cosidering we didn't escape from under the New Bridge until 10. 45 am. due to the Operator's Cameras not showing him the Bridge and traffic clearly due to the dense fog, we had a really good , if very short day. Fishing time was probably less than 3 hours as we arrived late due to the Bridge and we arrived over slack. There were plenty of bites from the off from whiting and pout and a few doggies, but nothing special. The on board catering was first rate and far exceeded that of Fisheagle. The starter was M and S Finest Vegetable Soup with wholemeal bread, this was followed by a savoury sausage plait. By the time I had finished the next item, mamely a triple layered, cured wiltshire bacon cob, I couldn't manage my own sandwhiches which were eaten for lunch today.Graham was a perfect host and the banter and hot drinks flowed freely. Given the boat's radar, ais which both transmits and receives and well marked tracks on his modern plotter, the fog on our return leg was an inconvenience rather than a real problem. A quick radio call to the Ferry to ascertain its location saw us entering the harbour. Certainly, Graham's detailed knowledge of the harbour, even in dense fog was very reassuring. Chris, who crews with him, took care of all the little jobs in a well drilled manner. Aerials, fenders, ropes, was down etc. were all taken care of. The only real thing I had to do was to get a trolley on our return. Many thanks Graham for a very enjoyable trip.

Thanks Graham for your kind offer of a lift out tomorrow. Hope we can do as well as several Club Members did today. Allan.

Fisheagle's crew are having to work so I will have to give it a miss this time. Good luck to anyone out there. Some very good fish caught today. Allan.

Dave, does that mean you have a cunning plan and are available to fish on the 27th.of Dec.?

Fisheagle would hope to get out, subject to weather and crew availability.

Fisheagle hopes to be out on Thursday. We are no experts, but may be able to give some assistance. Give us a call Graham. Allan.

Fisheagle will also have to withdraw.I have just spoken to Dave who has hurt his back lifting something heavy and Mick doesn't mind being shaken but not sturred at the same time. So, regrettably, I too, have lost my crew. Tight lines to all fishing. Allan.

Think of the fuel I save.☺ Allan.

I think you will find that there is a single £50 prize for the largest whiting over 2.5 lbs. This was not on the original poster for Andy's Shop Comp. Allan.

Fisheagle will be heading out tomorrow (Saturday 29th.) for her first trip for nearly a month. Mick (Sparky) and I will be heading somewhere between Southbourne and the Island in the hope of a few winter species. Leaving Cobbs around 7 am. and returning on the 4.30 bridge.

Happy birthday Nigel. Have great day and enjoy it.

Welcome to you both. Will probably see you soon as we share the same berth. Allan.

Have tried several times to download the two files on Bottom Trawled Fishing Gear. Don't seem to be having any success.

Nice to see you out there today. We knew you were on your own when we saw you had eight rods set up, but only fishing with four!

Fisheagle has crew, but is still awaiting some windless parts. Been going on too long now.

Well done on the sale. I am sure they will enjoy her. She will make a very good project boat. Allan.

Matt has done work for me on a couple of occasions and has just made up a lazer cut plate for the front of Fisheagle for the new windless and welded on a self launching bow roller. Very approachable and very reasonably priced . Coddy may put up a before and after blog to show the quality of the work and what was involved on the Club Site .
