Enjoy Dan - why not make it a birthday weekend!!! Rob

Looks Smucking Fart! You could sleep on her now for those early starts! Rob

Mike, I would suggest that a full size Abu 7000 would be too big, the narrow version may be ok. Rob

If only someone had downloaded all the pages from such a useful website! Who might have done that..........? What pics you want Dave? I h.ave the pics not the blurb Rob

Nice report James - do you often use a closed face reel? How do they cope with the salt water? Rob

Mike _ i guess it is how you interpret "keeping", i would suggest that having a couple of small maccy in a bait well that are alive and you intend to use as livebait is not keeping them. Just holding them with the intention to put them back!

I think the notch is put there by fisheries officers to allow a proportion of the population to grow to a size well above the minimum take size! The notch does grow out I think, then making them BIG and take-able.

Many happy returns. Rob

Fishing them is what small, fast, low profile, zero cabin, below radar stealth boats are for! Know anyone who has one?

Personally I think they are quite cool - something hypotic \ calming about them. It's not like digging a quarry for coal or having a huge oil refinery - if they are no longer wanted - take them down and you are left with a concrete foundation, which coudl be left, view unchanged - goes for onshore ones too. It seems sensibe to produce the energy you want - generate electric and keep it as so, unlike gas \ coal for electric generation. But hey - what do I know!

Duncan - was it sat on a sea fan?

Hey Rich - welcome back. Rob

Not everyting is cheap - if going check you prices with someone like QuayWest first - I have been with a great list of items, with prices listed from online sources and ended up buying next to nothing as it was expensive! + most of the time you hav no come back if the kit\unit has a fault - are you going to wait till next year to get you money back? At least buying locally and \ or online you have distance selling rights or can pop back in. Though the place is good for second hand stuff that you can't buy elsewhere - Charlie A and I did well last year!!!

CS3 and Vista are both 2007 I believe!

Why do you want Photoshop? Is there something that only Photoshop will do? Have you tried GIMP? www.gimp.org It is highly rated and does much that Photoshop dose and it is FREE! For simple work, basic images with layers etc I use www.paint.net , too is free! Rob

Try trailertek.co.uk these guys are great and for me it was cheaper to buy new wheels with fitted tyres than tyres alone!

If only I can frikin hook one Adam!

Jolly good work Adam - Can we have a bit of breeze to hold us up on the drift? Then veering or backing 180 (not fussed which) on the turn of the tide? Not too much sun maybe a little haze! Rob

Like CC will take crew again on a big conger hunt. TB nicked his record from under his nose a couple of years ago!

Not overly keen on charters myself anyway - so no brainer for me! Need even less brains to decide if JoJo was capable to go!!! (no comments Jim \ Charlie) This is seriously wetting my appetite for Alderney - only been once and cant wait to go again. Nothing like heading out of Poole in a flotilla, everyones excited and nervous. Thinking about what have we forgotten or should have brought. Not that it matters as other boats will be there to lend a hand. On the days fishing in Alderney the boats leave the harbour, following plans laid down by the skippers over a few beers the night before. Boats may head in a group, pairs or on own, always keeping in close radio contact with others (in fact more than if we were fishing at home). Damn I hope the weather lets us go! Off to research my 20lb turbo rig! Rob

"Computer says "NO""

Martin, I woudl be interested in: 1: Pillar drill 2: Ladder standoff Thanks Rob

Graham, Last year Dave of WM had an inflatable dinghy, Alun brought a small O/B, Craig carried it on his Aux bracket (Team Effort). This meant that I was able to take 2 x 25ltr jerry cans from JV in to the inner harbour with only 6" of water. Mainbrayce filled them and i plodded back with them onboard. The system worked well and I think other boats used the inflatable for the same. Rob

Graham, Start contacting the skippers via PM, phone or email. Not all will be looking at \ paying attention to the list of crew in waiting! Rob
