  1. Anyone you recognise in their Nige?
  2. What, the conger? I'd be offended Nigel if I were you!
  3. I carry a total of 10" on JoJo But, unfortunately 2 x 5" sets. One is a combo and the other just chart, so in effect a backup plotter, as both have maps. Mine are Lowrance units, chosen because I won the combo unit! But I don't like to talk about that, much! I had put Lowrance on my previous boat and this boat came with Garmin I think, which was ok but I missed the Lowrance. Eagle used to be the same as Lowrance, though am not sure if they are still available. I would have thought 7" would be best for a unit you want to see from the deck, or fit an on deck unit like Nigel has for drifting wrecks ect. Rob
  4. Go Nige!!! Good to see you earlier, just tied a couple of your lunker rigs!!

  9. Your right Mike, keep going out with Nige and he will slowly release he 40 yrs experience!!! Actually, looking at him, I think Nige has at least 60yrs experience under his belt!!!
  10. You need to book in to the comp by adding you name to the list on another thread. Which is Probably in competition section of this forum. Rob

    VHF Issues

    Mate, using it with no or faulty aerial can cook it, I found this out from the manual after trying just that! Mins you, my one survived! Maybe someone has a spare aerial you can try, or someone with another Garmin and you can plug your radio in to their boat, just to prove a point? I am sure I have been on another club boat with an annoying ringing Garmin unit, other than Star Turn. Rob
  12. You want to speak to Niggle then, he taught Mike everything he knows!!!!!
  13. Book in here please: 1.) Ian Jones - JV 2.) Bob F - JV 3.) Alun J - JV 4.) Martin B Awol 5.) Dean B Awol 6.) RobF - JoJo - with non member

    Dory = get wet whatever the conditions - dont do it!!!!! Unless you go big like PJ and his Boston. The Terhi 4020 is a good boat and within your buget - light weight, easy to launch and fuel efficient. Take a look, you wont be disapointed - they do come with a folding cuddy option too! Rob

    3 will be alright as long as you resist fluff chucking!!!
  16. For the PBSBAC Open we bought the following in 22lb/10kg and 99lb/45kg. Excellent service from http://www.scalesexpress.com But these 55lb ones are a good all rounder. http://www.scalesexpress.com/salter-breckn...5-kg-55-lb.html We bought the smaller set to give greater accuracy of 1/4oz in for the smaller species that are weighed in. Just be wary of Ebay as often there is no warranty and \ or it is more hassle than it is worth as often the sellers are geared only for selling and not customer service! I have the Berkley pistol grip scales to 65lb and they are ace, even at weighing onboard. Mark at AA has them at

  22. Well done Paul!!! Rob

    Bayliner Trophy

    Heavy boat, braked trailer that will need brakes serviced regularly. Is you current car big enogh to tow it? Mooring an option? So, antifouling required. 175 etec, you will notice a difference from your 20!!!! I would research the expected miles per gallon, or gallons per mile if you open her up!!!!! I guess you would easily spend 100 notes per day pottering around the bay! I have no idea re build quality etc, but I expect Tom will have an insight! Rob
  25. You forgot to mention that John Wilson fished from her! That should add and extra tenner!! You didn't mention it is
