A family friend fishes regularly on the Redfinn out of Xchurch. I will make contact and ask his opinion (he himself has owned a few boats) if I can find an email address! Rob

Nige- that is great when there is loads of weed and it stops it getting to the top eye, but I like the security of having some heavy line with a few wraps round the spool with a big fish at the side if the boat! Rob

With heavy leaders you can use a lighter to melt it in to a blob at the end and then tie a whipping / knot less knot around the leader and slide up to the blob. It is how beach casting guys attach their 15lb line to 80lb shock leader: http://www.ultimauk.com/sea/knots/Blob.php Rob

Jim, I wash mine (stainless mesh type) in hot water and washing up liquid! Rob

eh?? On the back of the membership cards are the club records at the time of printing!

You mean you/they didn't check on the back of you PBSBAC membership cards!?

Top dangling Tomo!! Club record is 33:8 so would have been comfortably safe!!! Now you need to go get it!! Rob

If you go Sunday remember to enter the Poole Cod Comp! If you don't you know you'll catch one, "catch 22" I think!!! Rob

More cans Pete!

10 litres of water off of a measured amount of 50 litres of fuel, seems an awful lost as Ian says. Obvious answer is.........measure the amount of fuel left in the tank accurately (assuming the 10 litres is an accurate measure of the amount of water removed), if you're left with 40 litres of fuel, you are correct that is is an ethanol issue, if you still have 50 litres of fuel you have a water ingress issue, simples I think!!! Hth, Rob

Blimey Kev, you sure you got the numbers the right way around? Talk about a hard life, have a good one! Rob

I will send my apologies now, as I will most likely be there!!! Rob

Where did you read 2 x petrol 90hp? It says "Engine 1 x petrol 90hp, Suzuki (2009)" You still celebrating the New Year Rob and seeing double? See Brian i don't make everything up! Rob

Hope it goes for him! not sure about "Engine 2 x petrol 90hp, Suzuki (2009)" I thought he only had a single 90. Rob

Crickey, next you lot will be learning Japanese!! http://youtu.be/hOIcpTWhaHU

Alfie, next time check to see which section the lot is in, this one was in Jokes!!!! All the best, Rob

Indeed Jim, Mick has paid bugger all so far and has bugger all!!

Just be aware and ensure we are talking the same language. "Thru" hull as the yanks like to call it means a hole in the hull and the transducer is on the underside of the boat. A true skin fitting. Transom mount is as we all know, the standard transducer that comes with many units, for external mounting on the transom. Here, through hull, tends to mean, a transom mount transducer sending and recieving through the hull material (grp etc). Often mounted on a bed of silicon, plasticine, epoxy or in an oil filled reservoir. Hope that helps, Rob

Or he watched it without his glasses!

I expect it looses signal as you are getting air between the hull and water, try setting it further back or maybe someone with the same hull can advise. If you are on a wet mooring then in hull would be prefered! Rob

What is the max HP for the tub? How many does it carry (on a good day!!!!)? Cat c or d?

Have a good day chaps!

Sounds like a joke present to me!!

I guess I am boring! Anyone who buys me a useless / unwanted present is told immediatley, therefore, I got to get a load of bits from psac and ukhooks and give them away to be wrapped up!! Though, not sure how much use the cod hooks will be this season! Rob

Happy Christmas to one and all. Rob
