Leicester Fisheagle

Thanks Neal, Looks like the Squid etc. that was bought for this weekend will have to be stored in someone elses freezer to make some room for the good ladies Christmas purchases. Many thanks for the kind offer Coddy. Allan.

I could manage one to one French Lessons. Allan.

Looks like the Sherry has been opened early this year! Allan.

Happy Birthday Neal. Hope you enjoyed it more than flounder fishing. Allan.

Sent and awaiting reply. Allan.

Rich on Warren was second with a fish of 3lbs. 8ozs. or so and I even got a very nice Chrismas Pudding-Tesco's finest no less -for just turning up at the weigh in. Thought the format and the additional prizes created a more jovial atmosphere and people lingered, mixed and talked more giving a festive feel. The two Juniors also seemed over the moon with their rod and reel each. Well done everyone. Should be some great photos. Allan.

Thanks Neil, I have text him your details and he should contact you when he has finished work. Please remember he is only on temporary loan for one trip. See you at the weigh in . Allan.

Fisheagle can't make this one as there is some Warranty Work which is on going and could run into early next week. Good luck to all fishing, will probably get to the weigh in. Jan Triska (Club Member) was going to crew for me, he knows the Harbour and would like to fish the Competition if anyone still has a spare place. Please ring me on 07758356474. and I will pass on a message. Many Thanks. Allan.

I have a few spare fuji reel seats (Winch type) from my rod building days. Depends on diameter. You may need to cut/grind the old one off and then replace the grip. I have a few of those as well or use something called Karakal it may prove cheaper. Available from sports shops it is used for racket handles. Also consider shrink wrap and foam handlebar type grip-again cheap if you want to do it yourself. I probably have some of this lying round but it could be red or black not sure which 'till I search in the garage. Allan.

Fisheagle will be heading out from Parkstone just after 8am.and returning mid afternoon. We will have myself, Mick (Sparky) and his friend on board. Hope there is not too much fog. Have arranged to talk to Pathfinder with Frank Morris on board who is heading out slightly before us and may head for the Island to let us know what it is like. We will probably be off Southbourne chasing the Mini Beast of the Bay providing the Trawlers let me get on the spot and there are still fish there. On Ch 6. Allan.

Happy birthday John. Long time no see . Miss our conversations we used to have at Cobbs. Allan.

Short trip for Fisheagle with myself, Coddy and Mike Fox who will combine a short fishing session with the Boat's Sea Safety Check. Out just after 8am. returning just after 1pm. Probably Southbourne Area. On Ch 6. Allan.

Doesn't seem to bode well for the future if I am reading this correctly. Allan.

I fully understand these Senior Moments. My problem is they are starting to become days and not moments! Allan.

Thanks for the call Stuie, glad you had a nice day out. Try calling tomorrow (Wednesday) which is the day we are going out and I promise I will reply! Allan.

Looks like it will be myself, Sparky(Mick) and Hookey(Andy). Wednesday somewhere off Swanage on Ch6. Allan.

Hi Sparky Will ring you later tonight. All spaces now full.

Hoping to get out midweek if the high pressure holds, could well be looking for one or two crew. Allan.

Fisheagle will be heading out somewhere off Swanage tomorrow, subject to conditions. Will be on Ch 6. Allan.

Happy to act in support and if needed to provide some on the water refreshment. Not sure too much tea/coffee recommended on a Kayak? Allan.

Given the current weather forcast, Fisheagle will be leaving Parkstone around 7.30 am. with Rich S. and John (New Member). Will head east with the tide till around Midday and then back to Banks off Swanage an hour or so below low. Returning to Parkstone around 3.15pm. Will be on Ch 6. Is anyone lucky enough to be out? Allan.

Fisheagle will fish the new date. Crew Myself +Dave. Allan.

Bull bars on the front Allan.

Hoping to stick our bow out of the Harbour after 9 am. to try to get a few hours on Inshore banks. Very much up to tomorrow's forcast and weather in the morning. Will be on Ch 6. Is anyone else going to give it a try? Allan.
