Do they make good bait?

Welcome Gordon, There are loads of places to fish, however, some fish better at certain times, tides, weather etc.....i think everyone is still learning. Let us have more info re your boat, size ect. Dave Samuel will be along at some point to advise you about having a free RNLI Sea Safety Check, which you will gain great advice from - it is more of a discussion than an assessment and I found mine very useful! Try and fish our Open on the 23rd and then come to the October meeting in Parkstone on the First Thursday of the month! Rob

Mostly people contacting me for the Lead moulds and accomodation in alderney i'm afraid! Rob

Happy for you Jim! Glad your enjoying the most of not choking on those 2 stroke fumes!!!! Single handed too - did you manage to store your baguettes ok as you are short on the bling at the mo? Rob

Down from 300+ to 23 - please leave!!!! R

Please let me move mine off and I will delete them myself. Rob

Hey y'all! I need a Lowrance Ethernet cable (well, the cable is grey but the ends yellow). Do anyone have one they don't need? Thanks Rob

Welcome Malcolm! I am sure many will be along shortly with advice to your questions. Why not come to our monthly meeting, this Thursday is the Septemeber meet! Parkstone Trades and Labour Club 7:30 for 8. Rob

Ok I will start: Bass caught: Rob Francis 12lb 1oz Alun Jones 7lb 6oz (I think) Bass Released: Rob Francis 12lb 1oz

Thanks chaps, I will take that as a compliment!! Good to see you will be getting out after last years events Terry! (the food poisoning at Martins took you out the game for 9 months!!!! , I always said don't eat at the Club BBQ!)

I think Davis boat yard Hamworthy has some off of Lake Road - but i could be wrong! Rob

Shhhh! I don't like the pressure! Won on my boat (Charlie A) with me second in 2010, I won with AJ & IJ on JV 2011, what will this year bring? Sod all probably!!!! R

Best name so far!!

Seriously Jim - I have 2 anchors - one 5kg bruce - for normal use! I don't have the miles of chain, but enough to be more than 5KG (prob 7kg)and keep the anchor at the buoy on retrieval! (so weight rather than length!) I also keep a folding 5KG bruce onboard for emergencies. I guess the scenario is, you cut your rode as anchor stuck - so head in, engine issue and you need your anchor to stop you drifting in to rocks \ traffic - where is you anchor? Also, a second anchor can be deployed to stop sway when at anchor in shallows, i.e. the harbour. Rob

Yep - 5kg and you really need 2 for safety - just incase hurricane Issac goes down your drive!!

Someone was having a laugh! or you were using mono or mega heavy \ poor quality braid \ rope! If I remember, in May we drifted a wreck on Alfresco in Hurds deep - I had asked Charlie if the wreck was just off the deeps and in the "shallower" water. He advised it was! So we came across the 170m deepest bit to the "shallows" of 101m!!!! Where we drifted a wreck, and i had to change me reel as i didn't have enough braid, but we were bouncing on the bottom with 10oz.
