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

I suspect that Adam will be fishing to that. Follow that and you wont go far wrong. Rob

This is the live weather data from Poole AHrbour Weather - looks liek WindGuru was spot on and follows my prognosis perfectly!! (why doesn't that happen when I am going out!) Sea state looking good at 1pm too!

Have a happy Thursday!

Looks perfect to me. Nice ebb in the morning to take you towards Sanbanks (NW which will keep a flat sea) and then as the tide changes the wind backing to be behind you for the push back to the piers at 10! Though I have a boat, I woudl still think this was more than confortable in a Yak! Rob

Never knew you were the leader of a Bike Gang Brian! You never can tell!!!

I think you need to PM ManicMoore (Gordon Moore) previous owner. Most of the history of Enticer is in this forum, spend some time using the search facility. Rob

I havefound Towergate Mardon excellent. If the policy says "wheel clamp required" and you don't why should you get pay out and put my premium up? If you drove you car UI and crashed would you expect your insurance to pay for the repaiersto your car? As I expect it says in the policy that they wont pay for claims on your vehicle if you are over the limit! Probably in hindsight, a call to them to amend the policy would have keep you boat within the term of the policy. Rob

He was lucky! He had returned from a trip out and the hole appeard when he was in the safety of West Bay! My favourite quote: "One eye-witness said: 'It wasn't a very big boat - I think an ice-cube could have sunk it!' Mind you - I think it is bigger that JoJo!
