Now you have ruined the weather Oli, thanks! I will be our Sat AM with a newbie, trying to get at the minimum mackerel!!!!! Then maybe try for a Mr Spikey, but we shall see how the weather is, sea state and how tough my crew is! Rob

3lb a week is probably enough, but i do understand that 3lb a day will stop professional diggers - though, i am sure they pay their taxes and insurances as we would all expect!

Indeed - crew for an Old Salty Sea Dog, there are loads in the Club! Get to crew or offer to take experienced crew and try for rays off Ballard - that'll give you son something to get his teeth in to - though, it might feel like he has hooked the bottom for 10 mins! Rob

Hey all - hope everyone has this booked in their diaries! Rob

So you'll be out all the time then Jim!!!! Watch out Stuie, Dave and Nige on the species hunt!

You ARE funny Rob ! IT bloke - - - - Busy ? How hard can it be - - Turn it off - - - - - - - Turn it back on again - - - -Job Done ! ! Good names though Jim We are allowed time off Jim - so sunday night at 10pm i wasn't working! Anyway, I don't tell people to switch off and on, I have people to do that for me!!!

Martin, We did have a Kayak Open last year at Lake Pier. I think the big Yak meet was Anglers Afloat at Swanage Bay. Rob

Why did you sell Smal Fry? Was the new Pilot cheaper than what you sold SF for? Rob

Jim, I have just been busy!!!! I am suggesting, Small Flies, KnotOut, GoInNowhere, KnotWet, the rest are too rude to use of the radio! Rob

Wow - you like them so much you have 2!! His and hers? What was wrong with the old one? Or did you just want more power? Rob

Hydraulic? Automatic \ pre-set? There are so many options! How deep are your pockets? I have smart-tabs http://www.nauticusinc.com/index.html They are cheap and excellent - mine are the plastic SX ones and i use the Tolling adapter in reverse to lift them out the water when the boat is 1 launched in <1ft water or beaching. I will be replacing my rams with fully stainless ones when they fail. Rob

Well done, god to blow out the cobwebs no doubt Jim!! Rob

"He said the turbines viewed from Bournemouth would appear about one third the height of a thumb held horizontally." Now I have fat thumbs and that is bu&&er all, you will only see them 5 days of the year.

Confidence Mike confidence! Rob

Friday with no wind was touching 2 knots. Of course if you go over a shallow it speeds up as the water is quashed so it depends!!! Plus tides were getting smaller each day from friday. Rob

Thanks Paul - enjoy! I only go as far as Devon (Dartmouth) with the boat in tow, but you never know! Rob

Or try http://sailingalmanac.com/ Just check a chart before steaming in - you never know what might be under the water! Enjoy, Rob

Not sure Mortals can! If you want - delete the contents and edit the title to "Admin please delete this thread". Rob

Me too.

How do I know this isn't one!!!

Enjoy Alan!

I guess he hasn't bought Small Fry, because it would be a spud gun!!!!

Jim - why don't you do a swap? You said you want something smaller with a cuddy - maybe Adam fancies a Warrior 165! I'll take 5%! Rob
