But could be and allow you to see objects on the water / Alderney buoy. Anyway, I just thought was amazing: "http://youtu.be/1OlqditIsoM"

Just seen this: "Seasafe Dandy", liked their bright colours didn't they: https://www.facebook.com/groups/286111461484748/permalink/600159840079907/

Hell of a link clip on that first one! I prefer something like these: http://www.lureheaven.co.uk/spinning-lure-fishing-shop/delalande-agrafes-rapide-lure-clips-n2.html or http://www.lureheaven.co.uk/spinning-lure-fishing-shop/snowbee-no-not-fas-snaps-n2.html I think that lure choice is much about catching the angler 1st, then the fish! personal preference will come in to it a lot, a bit like if you ask, what light downtide rod do you prefer - and get 30 different answers from 29 anglers! I think it is important to change lures quickly and regularly, you don't know what is happening that you can't see! You may have wrong size, colour or action. Fly fishing for BigMouth bass in Canada, i was on a high bank and could see fish chasing the fly, following it to very shallow water but all would turn away at the last second and never taking! so, i tried faster, slower, to no avail! Changed the fly, 3 or 4 times, bang! found the fly that worked, fish a cast (no joke!). The difference in my "eyes" was small, but not to the Bass! That was a great lesson! No doubt the next day another fly would have been "the one"!

Ah! Did wonder why the term hadn't been mentioned as when discussed a while ago it seemed the obvious choice! Might get a radar arch for my hat, so I can have one on JoJo!

Have you looked at broadband radar? I think I has amazing detail up close and and personal. Someone here will know!

Many happy returns!

Also, I think the bass nurseries are in force now: http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/photoalbum/albums/userpics/10003/Document%2810%29.jpg

Just a reminder for taking fish: Southern IFCA bylaws for minimum landing sizes: http://www.southern-ifca.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/1011A-Wheelhouse-Card-2011_Print.pdf

Yes mate no worries! Moordown

True, my mate had a blue on my 30lb "ray / conger" rod last yr, that went like stink and wasn't too heavy. Maybe try your quiver rod for them this year?

Hope i get some of my secret bait! (they all laughed but it worked!) Rob

Ah the video - 2013 I assume. 2011 vid was good + reminder of the rough seas. I will indulge shortly!

It's not entered you anywhere and it never will Jim!

Anyone else excited? This time in four weeks I'll be packing my smalls!!! Wonder what a 20lb turbo bite is like? Hope I find out!

I have a fladen 10ft uptide rod, seems to have plenty if grunt and a sensitive tip (don't we all!). Pop over and cop a feel (leave it Jim) if you want, though it is only two piece. Rob

Hi! If the fishing is good up there, don't tell us!!!!

Bloody hell, he's alive!

You're in the running then Jim!

^ pm sent Peter!

No that looks a bit older!

Photo? I have some yam manuals at home (on CD) but are 2000-2005 or sometime.
