Leicester Fisheagle

Thanks Rob. Done. He is happy to collect them at the next Club Meeting or I can do it for him if he doesn't make our Meeting . I know another Club he is a Member of also has a First Thursday Meeting and he tries to do alternative months. Allan.

Will be heading to Southbourne area with Frank and Jan tomorrow. Hope to try for a few late summer visitors. Will be on Ch 6. Allan,

Unfortunately, Fisheagle cannot make this one as Ann is away from Friday to Tuesday due to her involvement in a Charity Event doing The Three Peaks Challenge. I will be house, elderly parent and dog minding but, hopefully, be able to get to the Weigh In for an hour or two. It is a Comp which I like very much. Good luck to all those fishing. Allan.

Well Done Steve it looks huge. Really good photos as usual. Allan.

Hope you get a few fish. May see you as probably spending some time more locally in the afternoon. Give Fisheagle a call. Aways good to know who is out there. Allan.

Jan had 15 Bass last Sunday at Kimmeridge (3 over 100%) he is like me, he doesn't know the Ledge at all. However, let's hope that his skills are transferable to a new area. It will be a learning curve, but I am hopefull of a few fish. Allan.

It is time to try something new and this Friday's tides and weather do not look too bad at the moment (26th July) I am trying to avoid the weekend as tides are dropping and it is the start of the school holidays and the weather could break. The Ledge is calling. Livebait tank and pump are set up. A 4.30. am start from Parkstone looks on the cards with Jan and John ( prospective memeber) as crew .Never been there before and do not have any marks so lots of trial and error. Part two of doing something differrent will be next week on neap tides and Tope and Rays will be the target.( subject to weather etc). If any other boat fancies joining us please let me know. More than happy to join up/ talk with others who fancy doing something different/experimental both locally, inshore or more distant. Will be on Ch 6. Allan.

Despite our recent successes, Fisheagle did not have a very good day on the fish front. The weather was superb and the company was great and I was able to run at just over 5000 revs giving us a speed of 30 knots. However, we were not able to fish Poole Patch to increase our species count due to a perceived oil pressure problem which which delayed us and had us limping from Southbourne across the Bay at just over 1000 Revs and 3/4 knots. Thanks to Dave and John for going onto the bathing platforms and helping me lift off the engine cowling. Not something we would recomend even in calm weather even if you are wearing a life jacket and roped on. Also to Charlie for offering to help us back had we needed it. It turned out to be a quirk of the Suzuki engine which kept the oil warning light flashing but did not give audible alarms and limit the engine revs. This apparently would have been a real problem. However, what we had and suspected, was an indication that an oil change was required, but we needed to satisfy ourselves that there was oil and no overheating. To stop the light flashing we needed to switch off the engine, remove the Kill Cord and manually pull the Kill Cord Switch in and out three times. Never had issues like this with the old Nanni Diesel engine. Species wise, dismal totals with three species to Dave and five to me.

How many were in your team? Allan.

Thanks Neil. I have written it down so I don't forget. Weather is looking a bit off. Allan.

Thought it was a separate Comp. in its own right but could be wrong. As I wasn't able to fish the first one, could I be my usual troublesome self and seek clarification? We pensioners sometimes need things explaining more than once. Many thanks. Allan.

Def the weather, otherwise would have had three or four interested. Allan

Happy Birthday Sam. I've asked Tom to put a pint in for you at the Rose andCrown at Lychett. Allan.

Thanks Charlie, Jan does not have a computer and did as you say, ask me to enter him and record his fish. Allan.

My best two on Kellies Hero were 3lbs 2ozs and 2lbs 4ozs and Bill had one of about 1lb 4oz. otherwise, a superb day weather and company wise. The bream fishing was quiet, what with lifting 40 kilos of chain and anchor manually and then towing another Club boat from Dancing Ledge to Rockley early afternoon it was quite eventfull. Others will no doubt fill in the details. I have been asked to make a posting for Yan Triska, I understand that he had a bream of 3lbs 10 ozs. which also won the Poole Angling Centre Open Comp (Can anyone confirm?) Allan.

Ditto. Hope you have the success that you deserve and that things go your way and that Club Members are up in the prize list.. Allan.

Really good news. Can we as a Club representing a large number of boats and members (Don't know precise nos.) send a message to the appropriate parties saying we feel it is a step in the right direction? Allan.

Tried the full range of Navionics Charts in the Plotter at Fource Four and found the Navionics Silver is the best it would take. JG Tecnologies in Weymouth are selling a few of on Ebay with the 2007 SD Card which is as near as to the Navionics Gold as you can get.for around £230. Contacted Magellan UK who confirmed this. So, I am selling it on on and bought a second hand Garmin Montana hand held which can be wired in to Radio for MMsi with Garmin G2 or used as a hand held. It should make a good back up which is portable and may prove usefull on a smaller trailered boat. Allan.
