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.

Looks displacement, maybe the keel was added to hit bottom before the prop! Are you upgrading Brian?

What year is it?

They have gone, I hope tomorrow at the latest!!!!

I hear a few bits have been caught, Dave Lynes had a nice plaice but i think the report said 8 anglers, 4 bites and 3 fish (or 3 and 2)! Slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

Makes sense Dave, like the shark measures!

Nice! Now, please don't call the new white one "blue magic"!

Just be aware, the harbour can be a dangerous place. Big waves, tidal races and worst of all plonkers in other craft!

"But have met a couple of members"

Ensure you go out on one, they are BiG! I think many are surprised how big compared to other 15 / 16 ft boats. Good luck with your search! Rob
