How small? Before we give advice I think it would be handy to know what craft you have. I have a 15ft Terhi and have fished south of the needles many times. Fished 10miles out and done a few trips with a 20+ mile return journey. Judge your craft suitability on your experience & confidence. And importantly weather conditions & more importantly, the forecast! No point going out in perfect conditions if it is going to change half way though your day! Stay safe! Rob

My slippers will be staying at home!

I would like a re-run, between Xmas and new year!

Pbsbac: Poole Bay Seek Bu99er All Cod club! Tough luck one a d all! R

And the cod comp Steve?

Good luck all!

And I can agree, that Orkney flew along!

I think the key thing here is to tell the insurance company two things: 1: I am fitting a engine of this size 2: the boat is rated by the manufacturer to this size (which maybe less than above) Never assume the insurance company know the max HP rating for any given craft.

Ah! New prop and skeg, good luck and try not to polish it!

Blood boil! Some of the quotas are high but this brakes the mick: Dutch trawler Cornelis Vrolijk hoovers up 23% of UK’s fishing quota http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/environment/article4256582.ece

Thanks Barry! Will wait till next year and have another crack. Then 2016, year of the porgie hunt!

Sounds like it's worth a try! I have often wondered how effective hopping a lure would be at the car park. But the murky water has put me off trying!

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Wow, club record cod!

Who doesn't like fishing with 2lb of lead and 0.5lb of squid!?!?!?

Only a mile, roll it!

^ I see one from TT

Steve put " at each end of the YouTube link when posting from TT! And post the vid again but put " on the line above and below do that the desktop users can see it too.

There were no pics when I posted! That boat is on a lorry transport trailer, nice un heavy, that would have made a mess of anyone coming the other way!

Trev, this is something i have been thinking about too, as we dont use our home phone, and of course you dont need a home phone with Sat BB! Hardware can be expensive - but i expect you can get some deal if you sign up for long enough! loads of info online but i have not pursued this far: http://www.businessdorset.co.uk/news/businessnews/9766876.No_internet__Rural_Dorset_told_to_look_to_the_skies_for_satellite_broadband/ http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/web/satellite-broadband-is-it-now-a-serious-choice--1171534 http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/broadband/3435765/tooway-satellite-broadband-review-is-satellite-broadband-any-good/ http://www.choose.net/media/broadband/reviews/tooway/ http://www.choose.net/media/broadband/reviews/tooway/#checkavailability http://www.thinkbroadband.com/guide/satellite-broadband.html http://www.pcpro.co.uk/realworld/385483/cant-get-fast-enough-broadband-heres-what-to-do/3

Sorted in the short term! Who would have thought my old axel that I should have got rid of early last year would fit as a suitable stand in!!!! Even using the bolt / clamp holes already in it!!
