Coddy

Unlucky lads At least you know know where to go (or avoid) when looking for this elusive fish! Lets hope that the conditions are better for the club's Cod comp. Well done to those who took part Dave

This is a good one! Try to figure this one out.... http://biggeekdaddy.com/humorpages/Humor/BestCardTrick.html Dave

Hi all If you are looking for spark plugs for Marine or Cars or Glowplugs I found this useful guide to the correct NGK fitment. http://www.ngkpartfinder.co.uk/partfinder.php Hope it helps others Dave

Welcome Stuart Hope you make it to the club meeting I am sure if you want any help or advice there is always plenty available, just ask. You might need a thick skin at times! Hope you manage to get into some fish and show us all how it is done Dave

Robson Green on the hunt again! Bit of a laugh I suppose, wish I could get paid and travel around the world to fish, must be a great life. Dave

I often get my FPO to make my flask of coffee and it always tastes great! If I make it, Bill says I make it too strong, so I have started to add extra milk. Never seems to go off in my flask, but then again it does not stay there too long. Don't use boiling water on instant coffee, allow it 30secs+ to cool otherwise it ruins the taste of the coffee. Dave

Hi Allan Well done on the sale, hope you got what you wanted for the old boat and did not give too much away! Good luck on your new craft Dave

A classic collection. One Two engineering students were walking across a university campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want." The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway." Two To the optimist, the glass is half-full. To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. Three A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with those guys? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!" The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!" The priest said, "Here comes the greens-keeper. Let's have a word with him." He said, "Hello George, what's wrong with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?" The greens-keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime." The group fell silent for a moment. The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight." The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything he can do for them." The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?" Four What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers? Mechanical engineers build weapons Civil engineers build targets. Five The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work?" The graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work?" The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?" The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?" Six Three engineering students were gathered together discussing who must have designed the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints." Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections. " The last one said, "No, actually it had to have been a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?" Seven Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet. Eight An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for one week and do ANYTHING you want." Again, the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess and that I'll stay with you for one week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool." Dave

May I wish you well in your new venture Gordon, but given a while I am sure the lure of the sea will come back and you will hanker after another boat! Good luck with the sale, I am sure you will not have a problem in selling. Dave

I was invited out on Rosie One with John. Had a great day, weather wise. Managed to catch 1 x mackerel in the harbour plus a garfish, my first this year! Went out and I managed to hook into a nice 10.5lb Blonde Ray + a few doggies. We went ot move to a new spot for the flood but had problems with the anchor rope and winch so we eered on the side of caution and went for a drift in the swash. It seemed odd to be going out when the tide was supposed to be going in! Good to see a number of club boats out on the water Thanks for a good day John. Dave

Hi all Thanks for info. Martin, no not changed phone number but you might have my old works number. Personal number is 07794 966313 Dave

Hi all Does anyone know of someone who can make boat names? If so whom? Martin, your text never came through Dave

Hi Trev I would go easy on the oil mixture. If you are squirting Redex in, it will smoke well as it starts in any case and adding extra oil may well give you problems in starting and running/setting up the carbs. Too much oil will make it run too cool, plugs will oil up and you will have to strip the carbs down again. I would suggest adding a "small" amount more oil if you feel you need to but I would let it run on "normal" mix just to make sure everything runs and sounds as it should. If you recall the old seagull outboards use to run on 10:1 and if you managed to change the jets it would run on 25:1 but still smoke like hell. If it is manual start, get a new pull cord for the rewind or if electric start check starter cables for condition. Don't want an electrical fire! Might need a new primer bulb as they perish and the one way valve can stick + inline fuel filter. Have fun Dave

Would agree with what has been said but I would add that buying a launching pass at Cobbs Quay at approx

Just to add fuel to this thread (pun intended) Did you know that in most car fuel tanks you have bare wires attached to terminals actually in the petrol. I know it is only 12v but I would have thought that the petrol would have made a short circuit but obviously not as I discovered when helping my son change the electric fuel pump in his car. Of course it is the fumes that is highly volitile but I could not get over the use of crimp connectors covered in petrol! Dave

Rob I sent it back to the seller (EBay) who gave me a full refund plus postage Dave

Hi all I had to take my Garmin 182C in to check if it would read Bluecharts properly as one that I bought would not read. I went to "The Service Centre" in Wareham and dropped the unit in with the chart. They send you a text message to say it has been logged into their system and give you a tracking number so you can check on its progress. They are normally able to turn repairs around within 3 - 5 days. It turns out that my unit was working 100% but the chart was knackered. I also managed to get a free down load on a data card from Garmin to update the software on the unit to the latest spec. Graet service from them as well. I got a text and email from The Service Centre to say it was all done and they sent a detailed copy of the engineers report on the outcome. Total cost

Hi Jon I have a web site with reports on boats and what the owners think of them. I need to do a bit f up dating but may help you look for the boat of your dreams. Link to my site is in my signature. Dave

Hi Mike I too looked at the Pirate 18 at the show and was well impressed with it. They had built in some nice touches. Price with 75hp Honda

Hi Nigel I will start it off 1/ Dave Samuel - Saturday 4th December Dave

Hi all Does anyone use the standard data card (map), not the G2 or G2 vision versions, in their Garmin plotter? I have purchased a chart but my plotter does not want to read it, it just shows "reading data please wait" I have spoken to Garmin and they are sending me the latest firmware update but I just want to be sure there is a map/data on the card as I might have a reader problem on the plotter. I just want to try it in another plotter, or if someone has a reader connected to their PC, to see if it works ok. Thanks Dave

Happy Birthday Colin Hope you have a good day and I expect you will get bits for the boat or fishing which will up your speices score even more! Dave
