^ surprised be can see it!

Enjoy, Chris!

Ad has some inside pics, I was working / being worked too hard to take any.

Another productive day on JV! If I don't ever get to sand fibreglass again I'll be happy! Sanded most things and produced a cloud of itchyness. These areas were flow coated and look very smart! All looking good and is rock solid! I guess cable running will be the be the next task indoors, along with mounting dials and toys!!! (And who doesn't like to mount a toy!) The weather was kind and it allowed the first of the major outside jobs to be started! Grinding off the old blue in the roof! Pain of a job, numb hands, but now done! I'm still finding bits of blue and orange after my shower!!!! Some parts were flaking already that made it easier!! Oooooo, just look at that!!! (Masking tape around edges in pic, hence lack of sharp lines!)

IUCN / Red lists are all very good, but are only a guide. It's quite frustrating!!!!!!

This is all just information. There seems to be no clear list of what can be caught and kept!!! Even on the shark trust website it's not easy to see what is / isn't protected. As I'm sure there was a protection for Porgie Sharks from commercials, but can't find details.

Silver eel - not sure.

I think undulate was protected from commercials and not RSA's, but now that has been lifted. Bass in nursery areas is not all year round, 1st Nov to 30th April no restrictions.

Enjoy Kam! I knew that "turbot" was going to be mentioned!!!

Why? Did you spell it wrong? [emoji2][emoji2][emoji2]

I thought species hunt was a boat comp not individual, or am I confusing with the Open!?!?

Me painting the bog! I get all the best jobs.

I thought anything caught was a potential "record" but the issue with mini species is that weighing a 5oz fish at sea was near on impossible.

I'll try and remember to bring that sample I have tomorrow!!! I maybe a little late, I'm shattered!

That or similar is in this years plan Stuie!!!

Right! Now for a club record!!!!

What did it taste like? Did you get a pic?

Happy Burp Day! I bet none of the cakes make it to the office!! (Many cakes were killed in the making of Jim this age)

You spoil me Ad!

All, The Open will be held on the 27th June as per originally proposed. An alternative date was proposed, but some of our regular entrants and valued members \ contributors could not make the change. So, I'm happy, and i hope you all are too! Thanks, Rob

Just be wary of the trailer, a guy I knew had a Orkney 440 an after a few years he had a look at the trailer to maintain it. One bit was a bit "soft", and that because someone had replaced part of the neck with wood and painted it with silver hamerite!!!!!

I have seen one of those before, but I flushed it! [emoji12]

Well done Steve and helpers! Yes, watching the weather in the lead up to a comp you have organised is always a testing time! Looked lovely from the cliffs, almost mill pond close in!

Nice!!!!!!

Boom Boom!
