Belated happy birthday Dan! Shoot lots of footage, and edit later! Also try and get various angles, to vary any shots up a bit... ( 5 minutes of someone reeling in a fish, from a headcam point of view gets a bit tedious...) Use the Skeleton case where possible if you need sound, and save up some of the silicone packs from shoe boxes - where you use the sealed case, they have a habit of steaming up! Dan

We are also selling our 2010 Seago 4 man valise life raft, ( needs service - around £150.00 at the Sea Safe in poole) It has an Unmarked valise ( always kept in the plastic bag it came in when stored, in the cabin, or in the garage) We are looking for around £200. If interested please contact me! Dan ( p.s. Did I mention it's unused? :-p )

Unlucky Alan! Good attempt to get out though!

Yep, pop by and say hello when you are next down!! You must be itching for the new Targa now you've started to spec it! I've finised at Uni now (and unsurprisingly, it wasn't that appealing to stay in Lenton as you know!) and am now living back home & working in Southampton! Yep, powered by Twin V-drives

Cheers - She is already here! If i'm not mistaken with another boat, currently in a berth behind Sweet Chariot!

Thanks for the offer Charlie! Dad will email you across some details.... We have upgraded the Merry Fisher with a Viking Marin 285 Pilot. Dan

Hi Guys, After being a bit absent last few years, due to uni and work (and some fruitless fishing when I did get out...) I'm pleased to say I've rejoined the club! :-) Definitely looking forward to some more fishing this year with dad and hopefully join the Alderney trip! See you all out on the water - don't hesitate to come say hi if you see us :-) Dan

its simple ecownomics really....

Looks a brilliant trip out guys! some good sized pollock too! Dan

For information, would you fish the Rips the same as the brittle stars Charlie? i.e. hopping with shads? Sorry to hijack the thread a bit andrew!

Well who would have thought.....

Happy birthday Charlie! Dan

unbelievably jealous.... If it happens to get delayed by 3 weeks, count me in! Good luck guys! Dan

Looked good out on the patch today!! Any bream to christen her?? Dan

we were also thinking of going out early tomorrow morning, dependant on what the forecast says this evening... earlier it was showing 40knt gusts by saturday night/ sunday morning!!! Ive no idea if there is anything on poole patch, with all this weather noone has been able to get out and report! also hoping stuff wont have been driven to deep water by the rough weather! see you out there! Dan

Martin, we had no success there today off dancing ledge... Had to get quite close in out of the tide, we tried further out a bit (sw banks way...) but was ridiculous! What time we did try for bream, the doggies were a pain so I gave up and switched to bigger hooks.... Hopefully you will have some better luck!! Dan

Leaving from Poole at 9am - so far thinking of heading south/ west as not heard much happening on dolphin sands...

Should be out tomorrow, not sure where we will be heading or what we will target yet though, going to wait and check the wind /waves in the morning.... Either for turbot, pollock or ray... If anyone else is out, give Aqus a shout on ch6! Dan

Happy Birthday guys!
