Mike - I lost that one!!!!

I have split the topic and moved the channel flow bits to here: http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=11612 Rob

Damn, if i thought it would be this popular I would have swapped them for some marks!!! Attachment removed - a few posts below!!

Adam - PDF it for ease. Use something like PDFCreator and print it to PDF if you don't already have that facility. Rob

Charlie, Check out my gallery http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/photoalbum/thumbnails.php?album=223 Rob

If you think you need terminal gear, ask the questions now - perhpas new thread in tackle talk. You don't want to be caught short mid channel - though dont go over the top as you can stock up vat free with Mark at Alderney Angling! Rob p.s. Tomo has the lead moulds, does anyone need to start making weights for wrecking or watch leads for turbos!!!

Tide in the morning heading west: Dover HW +1 c.07:45 http://www.visitmyharbour.com/viewchart.as...E01FA784FA32110 This would suggest that 6 hours after HW Dover it is slack mid channel: Dover HW +6 c.12:45 http://www.visitmyharbour.com/viewchart.as...E01FA784FA32115 Then it pushes East again after lunch: Dover HW -5 c.14:45 http://www.visitmyharbour.com/viewchart.as...E01FA784FA32104 So Westerly in morning then head Easterly in to Braye. I concur Skipper!

Av a look ear: http://www.visitmyharbour.com/harbours/cha...s.asp?cattype=5 Adam, do you mean turn left? Because you know that, that is right if you are heading south, rather than north so right is left, right? Maybe you have north up not track up? Glad your driving!!! Rob

To hold the rod and feel for bites? Instead of just picking up the rod with fish attached?! I like to use my other senses - sight, sound etc (and let the bite develop!!!). Anyway, better than giving my rod away with a 20lb turbot attached!!!!

Excellent Skip. Anything we \ I forgot last time?

Oh - and travel insurance as it is not covered by the NHS!! Adam, can you get some bilge cleaner for the deck after refuelling? The turbo fishing is a big sea on a ice rink was fun, but one time only!!!!

Good to hear you can go Tom - let the banter begin!

I blame the vegetarians, not only do the produce more methane with their diet - but most of them eat fish (becasue it is not an aniumal but a vegetable, what, eh, um!!!!). So......they eat more fish (that isn't meat!!! Probably wear leather shoes too!), and they contribute to global warming more with their output too!!!

Happy Birthday Craig.

Nice weird catch! Bet your wishing you weighed it if you didnt! Rob

Have you looked on Ebay? Mind you I suggest you get an original as the copies are often a false economy.

Try the South West banks - i have no numbers I'm afraid but I expect someone might PM you!

Ah - the Glad, Pollock a-hoy!!! Hope Ad and Al wake me up for that one this time, I think I woke and found them on deck fishing last time!!!!

As I am understanding it - using a lazy line - the anchor warp shouldnt be going through the bow roller. Anyone?

I am not really aware of the need of the lazy line. Is it so you can adjust the amount of warp\rode out from the cockpit? Because other than that it seems like much bother as that can be done at the bow \ through a cockpit hatch. The whole combo of a lazy line and an Alderney ring and buoy sounds like a tangle waiting to happen at the bow whilst bobbing at anchor - then you have that to deal with single handed! Confuzzled, Rob

Bad luck Graham. I guess you cursed it with your original post! Hope you have it replaced and land a big-un!!! Rob

I am aware of the need for shims \ backlash checks to ensure realignment is 100% and if not all sorts of issues can \ could occur. Perhaps there is someone with a little more knowlegde than that!!! I attach some images below - referencing a Yam but I expect principles are similar. Higher res versions are in my gallery. HTH Rob

Where's Rob going to sleep then Al??! I'll stay on the boat if beds are an issue. Top and Tail Ad Top and Tail! If I need to find smewhere please advise as I will start calling! Rob
