I will do but as I explained to Tom, I am not sure if I will be working and my own boat is undergoing repairs so may be without a boat.

I have had a good summer for fish, nothing massive but Cod and Pollack to 13lb and Bass to about 8lb off the wrecks. It would be great if you did a trailaway trip up here and I could show you around a few of the wrecks out of Rye. I look forward to meeting up, maybe at the november comp Terry

I had an Alaska 500 for 3 years and although it was not a bad boat, space was very limited once you have all your gear plus an anchor bucket on board. It also tends to slam in any chop. Solid boat though and never felt in any danger.

Hello all After 7 months on WSF and a few chats with TomBettle I thought it was time I had a look in here. Some of you will know me from WSF but for those that dont, I live in Tonbridge, Kent and have about 40 years of boat fishing behind me in my 46 years. I have had my own boats for about 20 years and in February this year took delivery of a Quicksilver Pilothouse 640. My first choice of port is Rye followed by Newhaven but I have been known to trail it to more distant places. In May this year I spent 5 days in Weymouth with 3 buddies and although the fishing wasn't great we had a great time and I also added a new species to my list, a 2 1/2lb Sea Trout caught on a plug. In September I took Sea Mistress to Dartmouth for 6 days with the same crew and similar results, not a lot of sizable fish, but we enjoyed ourselves which to me is the whole point of fishing. Our plan next year is to spend 5-6 days in Poole, dont know when yet, which is where you lot come in! I may well bring the boat down for a few day trips out as Poole is only a 2 1/2 trip for me, so that at least I will have a bit of local knowledge. Although I have a few friends in Poole that I have visited over the years, I have never fished there and am looking forward to it and hopefully meeting a few of you. Tom assures me that you are a friendly bunch on here, so I hope that you can put up with me grilling you for local tips and if I can return the favour just ask. If any PBSBAC members are ever up my way you are more than welcome to come out on the boat for a trip, just PM me. Terry
