Happy Burp Day Dean.

Enjoy Mark, happy burp day!

Ok - so JV crew doing the Maris on the first night, excellent! Adam would never allow a break in tradition!!! Rob

I am not keen on traditional fish&chips so I will go wherever TeamJV fancy going. Rob

My questions were more directed at Martin and those that knows the rules. I think fish of the month is valid on a charter boat but I am not 100%, asking for clarity. I don't think there is any "personal exclusion" that will happen, it's not you it's boat related. You are the first part charter \ part private boat owner i have seen in the club. I know there was a Fred chap who left the club, but I wasn't around then and didn't know if it was because his boat was too big or a registered commercial etc etc. p.s. i know its your new baby and am not trying to rock her Rob

Neal, I dont believe the Undulates to be "Protected" but they are classed as "Endangered". Please see IUCN Red List: http://www.iucnredlist.org/apps/redlist/details/161425/0 "The most recent ICES advice (2008) is for no target fishing in the North Sea, English Channel and Celtic Seas." This was the reason we banned them from being weighed in at the Open. Rob

Only problem is that Rob Tompson will charge Alan if he goes out on her!!! Do you get a discount on charters Alan? I guess being a charter boat excludes you from club comps, correct? Does fish of the month count if you are on a charter boat in club waters?

I am sure that works if managed! But this isn't managed, if there was an upper size limit then im sure it would be great!

What more does she need, with a cooker and sink onboard, they're even inside!

We call them a Robin in Dorset Jim!

All looks a bit silly to me this one way bridge system! A real pain for those at Cobbs and Davis', who require the lift. I can see the rush to Rockley putting up their prices!!!!!

Thanks Dave for representing us Danglers! Rob

1st one: -1.754937410253471 50.58941681577828 GPS Latitude Longitude S 1 45.296 E 50 35.365 I used http://home.hiwaay.net/~taylorc/toolbox/ge...phy/geoutm.html Zone is 30 Then put that data in http://boulter.com/gps/

Matt, I wasnt aware of a minimum landing size for cod. What Annoyed me was the fact that all the fish are VERY juvenile. such a shame when these fish are killed at a weight which is probably 10% of the kind of size that do make a good days codding!

I can't agree with you Matt. Just because small juvenile fish are all that is available, doesn't mean you should take them. That is the sort of mentality that has destroyed the silver eel stocks as they thought netting millions of elvers would be sustainable! So, they should practice catch and release or target something else. If there is nothing else, then go coarse fishing!

Pictures for the Sophie Lea website:

I picked up the latest SAN from Bournemouth Fishing Lodge and during a read I was disturbed by photos in there of happy anglers aboard "Sophie Lea" with 3 or 4 tiny codling each, described as "A typical cod fishing days end". None of the fish can be bigger that 2.5lb most look under 2lb. When we see and catch the big beautiful double figure + cod that these "codling" could be it is a real shame. Maybe if they didn't retain these juvenile toddlers their "typical days cod fishing" would produce more than fish finger sized fish. Would a MLS for cod or all fish be good? Do cod spawn at 1 or 2 lbs and these are mature fish? I just feel anglers could do so much more to improve the image of angling an help lead with sustainable methods and techniques. Rob

Number in here Charlie c: http://files.opendebate.co.uk/files/eneco/...0Dec%202010.pdf Though in some weird format!

I added one of these after I popped some component in the tracker!!!! I think it was when I had a bad battery which caused the basic lighting coil (not alternator) on my Yam to give a high voltage jolt! http://www.sourcingmap.com/low-power-suppl...paign=ukfroogle Rob

This one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Vehicle-Real...l-/290675755173 Though mine doesn't have the remote fob. It the main unit is the same and the box. It will require a reasonably sized solar panel to ensure it doesn't flatten your battery. It draws 80ma I think. Hth, Rob
