Rob

Thanks, I feel silly

I can't find a schedule for comp dates, I have looked on the calendar and can't find them . Help please. Rob

Cheers Alun, Good to be out. Apparently I have a "tomato face"!! I didn't think there was that much sun! Rob

I bought an auxillary and bracket for my old boat - after 3 years I hadn't fitted it so sold it to a friend who is using it on his tender. I have similar views to Paul F on this matter, having a new out the box main outboard which was well maintained was my confidence. I once towed a guy up Christchurch harbour who's main and auxillary had failed! If you saw him you would not be suprised, as he had 4 kids with him and I couldn't spot a life jacket between them! Though I am going to get a spare "keep on the boat" spare key cut. Rob

Met Check doesn't look too bad!!: http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/dayfor...urnemouth&day=4

Microsoft Internet Explorer - part of Microsoft Windows. Rob

I had the same issue - I assumed it was my browser (SeaMonkey), I just right click and choose "view image". Rob - Just tested , it is my browser as IE opens it OK. Are you using IE? If so which version?

Confirmed: Gastronaught Alun J. and Rob F.

As a club would it make sense to try and re-run a comp at the soonest oppourtunity without clashing with anyother club event (i.e. the 1st July) then if that is called off we move to the next available date? (this time 22nd due to other comps). If this procedure is used everytime, then everyone knows where they stand if an event is called off in the future? Thoughts? Rob

Next week - 1st is good for me, I also can't so the 22nd. Rob

Guys - see you there. I am handing out flyers for the RNLI. Tom, wouldn't mind a look round that 46 footer please? Does it have a live bait well? Rob

Mike, I like them so much I have 2 - they are small but have enough capacity for inshore fishing. Drifting a Spring Tide on Portland race I found the capacity too small, mind you wer were moving at 6 knots+. Rob

Join the club would be my advice and get yourself an RNLI Free Sea Saftey Check, especially if you are taking out other people. Robhttp://www.rnli.org.uk/what_we_do/sea_and_...sea_safety_home

Who I will allow to do mine for free, like a floating advert!

Thanks - I will give them a call. I'm sure it will be

That would be annoying for the bigger boats: http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/display.var.1463413.0.0.php?utag=42216 ://http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/di...php?utag=42216 "POOLE lifting bridge was stuck in a down position after a pedestrian leant on the barrier, causing it to malfunction. The bridge separating Hamworthy and Poole Quay, remained down for around three hours, while engineers tried to fix the problem. Larger sailing vessels could find no way in and out of Cobb's Quay from noon on Monday."

And this.....

I would like to purchase a folding cuddy for my boat. It came with a stern cover which is like a cabin at the back which, despite looking weird it keeps you warm but is no use for fishing. The manufacturer Terhi does not make a cuddy for my boat but does for a differernt boat in the range - I have managed to borrow one of these the fit is not bad but not 100% as you would expect. Please see pic - obviously I had to bungee and tie it on as the fixings are not on my boat! 1: Do I spend

Me too heading for that area - see you there! Rob

If anybody would like crew for Sunday I am making myself available. I am house trained and have own gear - unless sharking! Geed to meet more of you last night. Cheers Rob

Are you going to give us more info in the detailed catch report thread or are yoiu just teasing us? Rob

I would be very interested in where those smoothies were, I could fancy that next week if I can get out? I am now going to start fishing these areas more as I now will be launching at Poole RNLI instead of Christchurch. Don't like the sound of that engine service, no excuse for that! If ever you need a hand out there I will be listening to channel 6 call sign JoJo. Question: Can you legally make a general call to PBSBAC memebers over channel 6 or do we have to call a specific boat? As I didn't know who was out yesterday and could have done with some friends!! Rob

Paul, Could I have rob@pbsbac.co.uk please? Rob

Alun - yes nice day out - but not a sniff of anything fishy. We sat on Poole patch for a couple of hours - nothing! Moved to near Bournemouth pier, whilst combing for some features we looked up and had at least a dozen ZapCats heading for us! So we decided to fish of Branksome Chine for the last hour. Again nothing. Maybe I should have chased the mullet I saw in the Holes Bay as we launched! Rob

I am heading out of Poole tomorrow - hoping to launch by 10 If anyone wants to buddy please feel free to post here, PM or email me. I was thinking of heading over to Poole patch for bream and ray. Having never targeted ray before advice and any numbers would be most welcome e.g. what should I be looking for? If anywhere else might be productive I am open to ideas. Please bear in mind I am 16ft open so 20 mile wreck is a little optimistic!! Cherrs Rob
