Rodney you Plonker!

Where are you????? I remembered them!

^ no one will fight you for the ewes Charlie!

Email sent earlier!

Watching this now on bbc2. Long liners are dropping lines 1/2 mile down for black cod. They are stalked by sperm whales, who dive in to the longline as it is pulled up, and snatch off the black cod! Leaving only the heads!!! More and more whales are learning this technique! Brilliant! The longline boat had an automatic baiting machine, one guy loaded sardines / mackerel and the machine diced the fish as a hook was on its way out the boat, attached the disc of bait on the hook perfectly. So easy to lay 1000's of hooks!! Good on the whales I say!!!

So we have an excuse at last, Thanks!

Enjoy Martin!

Was it a little windy Trev? Nice report.

Well done mate!

Enjoy Mr Treasurer!

Yes Dave, it is!

I had no idea either Brian!!!

Yes, whether the rods holders will be is down to my memory, so it's 50/50!!! [emoji1]

Happy Birthday Barry, they are yours!!!

Enjoy!

Yes you can, and I am awaiting confirmation from Nick (Jo approved my leave this evening!). R

I have a 2 piece Tideline rod, it should be 1 piece!!! I found both boat today, free to anyone who has one / needs a spare rings etc as they have the funny braid style rings:

I only have the gunnel mount as in the picture. R

I have these. They are in used condition (a little faded). Does anyone want them before they go to landfill?

Hello! Welcome, please ignore some of the more "interesting" types and don't let them put you off!!! [emoji2]

Brian, do we now have to put our ages on the back of our engines for the Coast Guard? I assume you're add the 5)

I think I tried that email address earlier this week, it failed.

I would have sanded the bulk heads better if I had known!!!!

I'd go 5kg Bruce and 5+kg of chain (length depends on link size) and 10mm rope. As for aux, I'd rather have enough faith in main engine not to rely on one. I guess you would need the correct size & bracket to make it useable. I assume you would still steer with the main unit assuming staring hasn't broken), so you want it deep enough to be in the water below the hull, but not too low to get potentially swamped. Rob

I think I read they "mid-water pair trawl" for the spawning bass.
