Paul, I assume you are talking about the fish!! Otherwise I suggest you have been living alone in a cave! Rob

Just picked up a sweet little Honda 5 for a friend in Holland (outboards are cheaper in the UK generally and with a strong Euro it will pay for his ferry and some!!). Its a nice 2001 4 stroke which purrs and was

Your FFinder will give you a different bottom line depending on the strcture - either a thick or thin line - might have to rtfm (read the **** manual)!!!

Nice one Alun, I am still after my first bass on a livey so I may have to tag along sometime! Rob

Some people try to show how much they love their Etec's too far!

Love to but I am fishing the Test. Rob

When I said I wanted a White Shark 21 I was expecting more GRP and an outboard!

Not sure on the insurance - I'll give them a call, thanks! It was more peace of mind, deterrent i.e. don't nick mine, nick someone else's! Rob

After forum searching I think Brian is the man you are after: http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/forums/index.php?s...c=6813&hl=radio Rob

Paul, I don't think it was Bob F - though I hear he is bit of a wizz at electronics. R

Sorry Gordon, don't want to step on your toes! Charlie, Careful don't let Gordon set eyes on Star Turn, I think he is getting the wrong idea!

I have just fitted a Datatag kit to JoJo. It was quite easy, small glass transducers (like they put in dogs!) are fitted in the engine, hidden in the wiring etc., then larger flat adhesive transducers and fitted in and around the transom. There are individual stickers to put on the main electronic units (FishFinder, Plotter and VHF). For all other bits and bobs there is a tub of data dots (micro discs laser engraved with the same serial number suspended in a UV reactive glue). So I will apply this to reel seats on the rod and reels, handheld VHF etc. So if you catch any on my lost leads I will be able to identify them!! I think I will stamp the Datatag number in to the trailer. Warning stickers are placed on the boat and engine cowling. All boat, engine, equipment serial numbers, along with datadot and transducer serial numbers are listed on a sheet and sent to DataTag where they are held on a database registered to me. Whats more this is transferable to new owners for a small fee. Rob

A member in the club is a bit of a wiz I have heard. ("shed like NASA"). Not sure who it is though - sorry! I speak to so many people ond only have limited retention capabilities! Perhaps they will reveal themseleves Rob

Sounds like Gordon was more up for getting it ON than off! Rob

Dan, I am in Bournemouth if that is any help. I am sure between us all we can get it to you! I also have a mate at work who lives in New Milton! Rob

We were using 3 oz and just holding. We fished the ebb from 12:00 till 16:00. Rob

I havbe to say I did enjoy my first trip out on Star Turn - Thanks Charlie. She is spacious and a nice stable platform for fishing adventures. Plenty of shade too to keep the beer ice cold!!! Though I must admit running in an engine is slightly tedious and 8kn is very slow! But as Charlie mentioned we had plenty of time to play with a bucket load of sensor readings and dials on the plotter from the Smart craft gizmo. The only disconcerting thing was that the oil pressure was readinf zero - but having dicussed the merits of a 2smoke (sorry) stroke we concluded quite quickly that there was no oil sump so no pressure to be measured!! (Actually smoke and noise wise I was very impressed, not like my 2003 Johnson on my previous boat - every second word was "WHAT?"). Next time though I'm sure Charlie won't hold back as ST felt like she was rareing to go!! Cheers mate - we shall no doubt strike again soon. Rob

Nice one Dan. I would really like to catch my first Hound and \ or Tope. Can anyone PM me some numbers where I might find these in Christchurch \ Poole Bay? Thanks. Rob
