All, I use a vacuum packer for prep-ing my fish for the freezer. I have the following one and at

tides for CSC - they are by the Priory and suggest an addition of 30mins. http://www.christchurchsailingclub.co.uk/t...TideJUL2011.pdf Rob

Get a colour that is different to others you fish with - so easier to sort out the tangles! Having said that, I use white too Adam, DOH!

Did you weigh the pigeon, if not, we dont go on "guestimates"!!!! I caught a Ganet on Gastronaught, I didnt weigh it but at least I touched the leader!!! Rob

Nice try and great report. Thanks, Rob

Does it go in to gear without stalling with muffs on (be careful!!). I believe a member had a similar issue when the stat was open or non existent!!!! Rob

Dan, tmobile and orange now share their networks so coverage is better. If you are on one or the other , call your provider and to be enable on both networks if your not already! You will know when you are as the phone will show the switch of networks. Rob

MAccy please Charlie and a Bass if you can! We only found small maccy in numbers, big ones seemed to be one at a time!

Plus the wind was much stronger than forecast, which lead to no sleep on the return journey for me

Prime example where course fishermen should support management of stocks of sea fish to improve numbers the salt water habitat. If we had an abundance of sandeel and small fish inshore, I am sure the cormorants that have plauged inshore fisheries would be out at sea feeding! Prevention better than cure?

20:1 sounds high, though I am not expert. So what oil was leaking? Can't be fuel / / Stoke oil! Rob

Dan, Sorry to hear that you had problems. If your after advice. More info required: What year is the unit? Is it premix? I assume auto lube as it was leaking neat oil. Dave Samuel might be your man. Rob

Hope it was a good one Bill! Rob

Enjoying a read of Sea Angling News after a nice warm day with the family. I read Steve Porters report for Poole and was delighted to read the following: "I've just returned from a trip there (Alderney) with True blue. Whilst there I was impressed to see the arrival of many small boats from The Poole Bay Small Boat Angling Club. All working together for mutual support and safety. Crossing the channel can seem a daunting challenge but in the company of other boats it becomes a task that is easily achieved. If you have a small boat and enjoy fishing then take a look at www.pbsbac.co.uk. This is a very well run club that welcomes new members." Brilliant! Thanks Steve, a true friend of OUR club! Rob

Minimum loan period is 2 weeks, but 4 if no one else requires them. Mick - I will PM you my address as they are ready to collect. Then we ca arrange passing to Tony then Stuie. Rob

Mick, They are with Martin at the moment - I can hopefully pick them up from him tomorrow at our committee meeting and you can collect from me. Alternatively I can leave thme at his if you are going to the BBQ. Your call, let me know! Rob

Pleased to announce I have landed a new crew member of 7lb2oz today. Charlotte Isabelle is doing well along with her mum. Rob

Welcome Karl, Please don't judge the club by just those two!!! In fact I am suprised you want to join!!!!! Rob

Phew! I woudl want a bit more speed \ power to control the boat! Actually, i wouldn't want to be there in the first place!

Have a great day gents!

Well done!!! Rob

16 and 16.5 are the club records too - you shoudl have weighed it, but well done for being more concerned with the fishes well being. You can always pop em in teh net and hold over the side for recovery then bring back onboard for weighing. Rob

Maybe easier to list what didn't work Charlie!!

Now that looks fun!!!!! Can't wait to see her close up Al! You sure the run is wide enough??? Rob
