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.

Hope you've had a good day Paul! Rob

You've got you dates wrong - you are a week ahead of yourself! yesterday was the 4th - big tide next Sat on 11th.

Or a quota for private vessels for some species such as: 5 bass per person per day,this should reduce the temptation of this illegal selling. A boat full of bass would be hard to deny!

Happy birthday Mr Vice Chairman Rob

Hope you enjoyed yourselves chaps! Rob

Looks 20lb against PJ, but I suspect about 13lb!!!

Nice work Paul! "Inshore" can mean within 6 miles! I doubt he was is shore casting distance!

* edited for bad language.

Pete, that sounds an awful lot like the "truth"!!!!

Keeping it proffessional I see Dave!!!

Disgusting, can ou advise where this was Graham?

Sounds like you found it ok Paul!

I'll look after JV then! TBH - I will sleep on the way (waking only for wrecking) and whenever possible between marks! Those bow cusions at 18knts are just dandy! If I can sleep on Gastronaught.....i can sleep anywhere. Rob

Me too skipper!

Do you have a time Paul? Rob

Charlie, You will find WE agreed the date last August! Mmmmm, I love weighing congers! Only needed the new 99lb set of scales once on 2011 Open, be a shame to not use them some more. Rob

Don't start Graham!

2012 Open is scheduled!!! To be on the 23rd September (2012!!). Lets hope for some nice calm settled weather!

Hauling the anchor, shouldn't be hard work if you have an Alderney ring and use it correctly! See here: http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=11945 http://www.fishing-boats.info/Anchor.htm rob

Why can't you just go round the bridge? It is only a mile or less out your way!!! Rob

Not gonna fool for that one!!!!

Found in the purple and orange cillit bang, Grime and lime. It has that acid in it and worked wonders on JoJo. Rob
