What can seem like 5 mins whilst in a tussle can often be only a few seconds, but I admire that attitude Peter, keep it up! Oh er!

Re-buoying off the anchor rope - I have often thought it isn't easy. Is it safe to assume you can just dump 100m of rope with a smallish buoy (my alderny buoy only has to lift a 5kg anchor and similar weight chain) and you "should" be abel to recover it on your return. Assuming it hasnt been pulled under by the tow on the 100m of rope. Or you have to hope it appears again at slack \ slacker water? Correct? Rob

Nothing bigger that a lost fish! Any mid teens \ twenty pound Ray in tide with the wrong (whiting) gear will seem huge, shame, you'll never know! And that is why we keep going back for more! Well done chaps, Rob

See the linked pic: http://www.lnsy.co.uk/New_resources/poole_bay.jpg The blue bit sticking out form HHead is the "Ledge". It goes for a few miles out to the Dolphin Sands. Can be 12\14m on the west side - rising to 5m on top of the ledge. Just watch the breaker on the ledge when there is a big swell, esp wind against tide. Dont go too far out and drift or perhaps pick up a pot buoy! Best of luck Steve. Rob

Great report James! Will we see you at a meeting some time, not sure if you have been for a while! Rob

Unlucky Al, http://www.saltwater-marine.co.uk/skeg.html Try that if there is enough to attach it to! As for prop, might be cheaper to buy a new non yamaha one. Rob

Nige - exactly what I had - ask for the steriod\cortisone injection in to the disc. I had two, first one he missed the spot and it had no effect, second one, spot on and I havent had an issue since. ATB, Rob

Ah bless, his memory has gone, but at least he Isn't aware of that!

Nige is that Abu Bg 7000 narrow?

I fish coarse lhw, sea multipliers rhw & sea fixed spools lhw. Horses for courses ect. You won't know till you have spent the cash and tried. I think in the heavier fishing I want the handle on the right for cranking power (yes Jim, strong right wrist etc ect!!!!!). But for the more delicate / sensitive fishing, I would prefer to hold the rod (calm down Jim (and Nige)) in my right, such as in coarse fishing. Rob

Don't tell them you name Terry! Doh!

451s for

I have had Lowrance for a good few years and think they are excellent - mind you, my gps aerial is playing up at the mo! But a service return is

Anything to do with Cobbs and the twin bridge?

Many happy returns Kev. Rob

Late 90's I would have thought. See here, it says 1998: http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/outboar...-start-PAA40156 Hth, Rob

Toby, Happy New Year, try giving Liliput Sea Scouts a call. Rob

I must tell you about that sometime Nige!

And.......? How did our club members do? Rob

Same thought as you Paul. I have tried the PSAC website and nothing on there to suggest any different! Rob

Enjoy Paul!

Happy Christmas to all. Hope you had /are having a good time! Rob

Bit of T-cut and some elbow grease and it will be fine!! Goodluck Graham, you should end up with something "just right" - new name!!!! Looks like a Wilson Flyer to me. Just ensure it has dry bilges, ESP if it is foam filled. Some for the old foam was absorbent and hold water making it heavier than it should be!! Rob
