Here is a copy of a message I received from Andy at WAC. Dave ----------------------------------------------------- To All Friends of WAC Some sad news after 15 years WAC will be closing its doors at the Old Harbour House in mid march . The Great news is that we will be opening a much bigger store just across the Harbour bridge on the 19th March. The details are on the attached brochure which is in publisher those that have not got publisher, page one reads; The New Shop (Old Kessock Models) is just over the bridge opposite the Co-Op & Golden Lion it will be fitted out to be an anglers haven. We will be able to display a much larger range of goods in bright modern surroundings that will hopefully make your tackle browsing experience a much greater pleasure. It will also help us improve and expand on the services we currently offer you. Our opening times and dedicated staff will remain the same as will our telephone number 01305 777771. There will be special promotional deals and free gifts on the opening weekend so please come and check us out! Exciting times we want to bring an experience that you will not forget when you leave (we will all be in our Man Kini's) Look forward to seeing you all soon Andy, Charlotte and all at WAC.

I hopefully have attached a graph showing the number of differant species caught over the last two years from the Year Long Boat Species Comp. Might help give suggestions when to get out. I know weather and sea conditions make a differance. Dave

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known. The new element, governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, according to the team of research scientists in Budapest, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. Governmentium has a normal half-life of two to six years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, governmentium

Whilst I agree many people buy on line for their major tackle purchases many only use the "shop" for smaller and cheaper bits. Many in the tackle trade also have an online shop to keep up with the competition and unless business move into these sort of marketing areas, most retail shops will struggle. I see no reason why they could not produce their own range of end tackle sold slightly cheaper than the branded names. These days any sale which makes a profit is better than none. Dave

Don't catch the bar on the way out of Christchurch then!

The problem is that the incline gets steeper the faster you go! Dave

I personaly think that with all the rain we have had recently the salinity of the harbour is not condusive to bringing on the flounders onto feed. Apart from that they seem b***ly hard to find! It's a bit like watching paint dry Dave

Supported software? Dear Technical Support, 18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from DrinkingMates 4.2, which I had used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off. To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as LadsNightOut 3.1, Football 4.5, and Playboy 6.9. Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better. I tried a shareware program, Slapper 2.1, but it had many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks. Eventually, I tried to run Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to my hardware. I eventually upgraded to Fianc

Words of wisdom ________________________________________ Keep this in mind the next time you are about to repeat a rumour or spread gossip. In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Diogenes?" "Wait a moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test." 'Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance. "That's right," Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me about Diogenes let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it." "All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?" "No, on the contrary..." "So," Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you're not certain it's true?" The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes going to be useful to me?" "No, not really." "Well," concluded Socrates, "If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to me or anyone at all?" The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. It also explains why Socrates never found out that Diogenes was shagging his wife.

Hi When I had a 165 it was a Mk2 model made in 2002. I bought it second hand and had the boat for approx 3 years and I can't say that I recall the floor being bumpy. I did however have matting over the floor it that would have made any differance. I had problems with the engine but that is another issue. Dave

I was doing a bit of surfing and came accross this fish ruler. Thought it would be useful to others Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's not all that often you discover a 'homegrown' angling product that you really want to get behind, but on discovering TKR's tremendous looking Fishing Ruler I knew I had to get hold of one. Consequently once I'd recieved both the standard TKR Fishing Ruler and the ingenious TKR Extendable Fishing Ruler I was delighted. You may be thinking, "yeah, but it's a measuring stick - I've seen them before", but check out these features for a start:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dave & Derek Hope you both have a great day Dave

I had this link pass to me which I think others might find interesting. http://www.wileynautical.com/view/0/navigate.html It is a link to a sample e-book about navigation. It is basic stuff but some might find it useful. Dave

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Peter & Mike Hope you both have a great day Dave

That must have been some party to wake up now!!!! Dave

Also found if shads/jellys get wet, they need to be kept seperated so individual bags are good. Dave Dave I find that if they DON'T get wet they DON'T catch anything Colin Colin You will have to take me out then so I can get them wet or even better fish molested! Dave

This may help, if you zoom in on your chart of the plotter, this will help reduce any re-draw and speed things up also you can keep a better track of where you are going. Many plotters allow you to change the track colour so if it is foggy suggest using a differant colour trace than normal so you can see where you have come from. I would also suggest that on a good clear day, when you have some spare time, is to load waypoints at regular intervals as a "Route" into the plotter from the chain ferry to you normal destination. You can then switch the route on and follow the route quite easily. If it is foggy when going out you can reverse the route to find your way out of the harbour. When you have done the above check it out on a clear day to make sure you have not missed anything. The biggest problem is those who have to go through the lifting bridge, if the power fails as it did recently, the air height board was down as well so it could be a little bit of brown trouser moment if it is near the limit of your clearance.

Hi Alex Welcome to the site If you want to look at boats or compare I run a web site, see signature for the link, where a number of boats have been given a report on, some by owners and others by magazines. I would suggest a minimum size of 15ft upwards. Unles the boat you buy comes with loads of extras allow approx
