I hear wimborne road (one of them) is closed too, people at work are moaning about it. As usual for Pooled residents! R

Enjoy!

Agreed, not sure how it works over there, being the island of qwerk and all that. Thanks Terry.

4 beds please! Are you booking for both the dates Steve has suggested? Thanks, R

Same as tiger fish I believe Terry. R

Too much info re you bowels Steve, you don't want anything moving much when in a dry suit so I hear.

Prop and trim tabs are in great condition, what's the issue? R

Here you go http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/index.php?/topic/7744-Smart-Tabs

G, I have smart tabs and so does Charlie A. Superb for mine, there is a review on this forum of mine somewhere I believe. I changed the struts that come with them for stainless ones, these are from the US and really for freshwater. Hence, rust gathers on the shaft and ruins the seal on compression. R

Nice trip Steve, just nice to be out I suspect!

Enjoy!

Keep it clean, this is a family show!!! R

Sad news: Night angler dies after falling into sea at Tintagel - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-43090686 Doesn't say whether he was wearing a lifejacket or not, but I'd recommend one if fishing from a height above the sea. I've worn mine a few times spinning from the rocks in north cornwall / Devon. One reason I have a blue not red jacket, so it doesn't stand out when trying to keep a low profile from the fish (if that makes a difference!). Rob

Enjoy Greg!

12" long, you are just showing off Steve! Drift the Shingles at the wrong state of the tide? Sorry, not helpful, i have no idea. But i'm sure if you sand it, you will need some sort of decent mask! Rob

Glad you enjoyed Mr Jones!

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Ah, turn phone to the right and I see!! That must the bow thruster molding in the pic.

i can't work out what this is a photo of? R

i use SeaScrew fo such things - they have a nice fusebox where an led lights up if the fuse is blown! R

Yes, we will see whether skippers are as good at catching as their crew!!!! R

Tinned cable I hope or you will be doing it again! Rob
