  1. 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!
  2. What more does she need, with a cooker and sink onboard, they're even inside!

    We call them a Robin in Dorset Jim!
  4. 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!!!!!
  5. Thanks Dave for representing us Danglers! Rob
  6. 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/
  7. 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!
  8. 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!
  9. Pictures for the Sophie Lea website:
  10. 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
  11. Number in here Charlie c: http://files.opendebate.co.uk/files/eneco/...0Dec%202010.pdf Though in some weird format!
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. Does it have gps? I have something on JoJo, but being open pir's aren't much use!!!! The one I have uses text messaging for alerts and you can txt it to request location, speed, direction etc and gps/mobile signal strength and whether it is running on main (boat) or internal battery. The great thing is you can have it kill the engine with the right command and set a perimeter from where you left it. If it moves more than 200ft from that location it let's me know (the number of times I have motored off and it sent me a text!!!! I think it has a panci button and door open / closed alert, that could be used with pir's or pressure mats on a bigger craft. I do have a

  17. Jim, Thanks for not even attempting to take anything out, i all fishermen were like you there would be many more fish in the sea!
  18. Sometimes the wreck is just a silly little symbol that is lost in the background and most of the time they coordinates are wrong. Have a look at http://www.southwestmafia.com/forumswm/vbgooglemaphse.php Rob
  19. Happy birthday Toby!
  20. This is fantastic and sums it up: "The ocean is like a bank account," he explains. "You need to put more in than you take out. "You can live off the interest income, but if you start digging into and depleting your capital, then no one can help you."
  21. The previous owner should have programmed the MMSI in to the radio - I think you can change it twice then it is burnt in and only a dealer can reset it. Have a look in the radio - it should hold the information you are looking for. Also, if the boat was registered with CG66 previously, you should be able to find the MMSI. Rob
  22. Nice fishing and report! Thanks for posting Duncan. Rob
  23. Please bring them Thursday to the meeting, as they need to be engraved etc for the April Dinner Dance. Thanks, Rob - on behalf of Neal
