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!

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

Happy birthday Toby!

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."

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

Nice fishing and report! Thanks for posting Duncan. Rob

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

Message from our stand in / co-opted fish recorder / comp sec. Remember to: Record a catch

Smucking Fart! Be a great day when you take her to get bum wet!

Looks good Graham! What are the 3 'wheel arch things on either side of the deck? Rob

Enjoy chaps!

Did you chop the bracket off to save the screw Nige?

I think the birds are heading in-land for no fault of their own, just the fact that, there are no longer huge sandeels shoals all along the coast which helps sustain everything that feeds on them. Instead they are ground up and used as farm feed and fertilizer etc! I remember I guy I used to work with telling me, when he was a lad,, he could take a net down to hamworthy beach and in a matter of seconds fill it with eels.

Let me know if your selling your old units!!! Cheers, Rob

Is that 90nm round trip? I've done 50nm in JoJo, but it wasnt due south!

Mount the transducer internally if you can. Guys on here will advise re epoxy and \ or plasticine. Rob

Does that mean your going to pay me for my old copies now?

Fill you boots from here: http://www.marine-audio.com/ Subs, ipod enclosures etc. I think there is a audio module for Lowrance kit that will control an iPod. Rob

Me You'll be going the wrong way Martin!!! Welcome Nick. Rob

If new copper bot / cuniguard it. Speak to Bigcol or wedger, they have had theirs done. 10 years of reduced maintenance!!! Rob

85lbs, not that light!!!

Isn't this the international signal system for bridges etc? And remember, PHC got it wrong in their first ediditon of the publication regarding the order and meaning!

Translated: If only Red showing don't go. Otherwise go (cautiously if yellow showing).

Does it rev freely up to max revs (6000 i guess) when not in gear? Of course if 17" is the right one - then the engine is perhaps under performing, all cylinders firing etc? Rob

As David mentioned on Thursday, discards are complex. Not catching the small / unwanted dish in the first place is the obvious choice, be it net size or better specific targetting. In waned fish will always be an issue, but reducing its key. I have a real issue with boats tha are allowed to fill up their boxes with say, small, haddock. Then ditch it all if they bring up a net of either bigger haddock or say bass that has greater value per pound.
