    My word, who built this? The surf reef company? R
  6. looks unpleasent, i assume we all know but i will post anyway! Westherfil.com has a great list of live and historic weather - they have devices at mudeford, parkstone YC and portland outer harbour (plus loads more but these i use). Great to see what it is actually like before setting off from home. esp if wind was supposed to drop off overnight and you are expecting less swell etc - this is where the history comes in to it's own. REMEBER TO CHANGE SETTINGS FROM m\s to knts! https://weatherfile.com/ mudeford: https://www.weatherfile.com/location?loc_id=GBR00004
  7. I thought the cod were not appearing until January when I am back fishing??? R

    Portland again

    Bugger! TBH, it was so quiet out, launching etc and my crew was local to launch so it made sense. plus the change of a turbo (and the bream) is always a draw! R

    Portland again

    Today was stunning!
  16. Headed to portland again today, was here 3 weeks ago. What a difference in weather!! The sailing academy is a great slip, pleasure to use and good to hear the sailing lot moaning a about the lack of wind!!! Target was a Porgie and any edible by catch was a bonus. We didn't really know where to go, etc so tried a few spots but way too much tide, so joined the commerial boys and 1 charter on the race!!! Haven't fished it for years and last time was on channel cheiftan, a beast of a cat! Well, it was rough, especially as JoJo like to drift in reverse, stern QTR to the breakers. A couple of times we were picked up and placed behind our lines! Anyway, my crew managed 2 bass, result! Target acquired, I had an eye in the breakers, which is a good excuse!! Amazing sea with a medium tide, near zero wind or swell! Seriously powerful and not to me taken lightly. We spotted the rest of the charter fleet hiding out the tide, joined them and had some bream whilst the shark rods did, not a lot! The fleet left (for what I believe is another bream mark) but we stayed with Mary Anne Jo (or something) as we could see they were sharking too. Nothing for with of us. A few bream, a load of mackerel, gurnard and big flubber (poutwhiting) in the box so we had a nice flat calm long drift for a turbo. Having had 6 on the boat 3 weeks ago, hopes were high, but alas we failed. But a cracker of a day was had and zooming here and there at 20knts was a pleasure. Slightly weep of fuel on a carb needs to be looked at, but outside of that JoJo was once again superb. Rob
  17. Enjoy Stuie! R

    Engine Talk

    Top fixing! Yamaha can be so expensive! I have found many of the OB parts are used in motorbikes, so with the part number to hand I call Cresent Yamaha in Charminster and often they are cheaper! Got all my carb service parts from there. R

  21. Nice one Steve, that's the way to do it! You need to tow a bigger coolbox. Rob
  22. Well done all! Some good fishing at present. R
  23. Got my last 12/20 GX2 from Andy, give him the heads up incase he needs to order you one. R
  24. Super catch , agree with Greg, I've always had a 'release a double policy', mind, I'd like to exercise it more often!!! R
  25. Martin, I made 'club member' his primary group as if it is secondary it can't been seen he is a club member in his public profile. I note sometimes you have to have a second group, or at least can't go back down to 1 if 2 have been allocated. R
