"like me" even.

I will order the tickets tomorrow, so you've one last chance if you'd like to order tickets for you. List at the moment is: 1 Adult = Mark B 2 Adults = Adam 1 Adult = Mark A 1 Adult = John F cheers Bob F

Guess what?? Saturday is off...surprise, surprise!! Forecast is SW 4-6. Sea state moderate. And likley to get worse going by what I just saw on the tele. Ah well. Next weekend or bust, then.

Ah, righty O. cheers

Where is Lobster Rock?? New one for me...

Yes, I think that is ample. Like you said, it is just the time involved in writing up a review that stops more people doing it. If we could have a simpler, standard format like this it would be easier. Would be better on the web pages because it would attract more people to the site, but a lot harder to design and implement. Paul, I think we had better leave the decision to you. Either Forum or web will be ok. Like I mentioned before, maybe start with the Forum, if it is easier, and see how it goes. Bob F.

Thanks Rich. Just spoke to Adam. Looks like we will call it off again. We'll wait for the 6pm forecast tonight, but I'm not expecting any change. Next weekend is clear, so we could postpone to then. Let me know who would be available for next weekend. Haven't looked at the tides yet, though. If we cannot make it next weekend we will have to call off this trip. We start getting busy again in April. Bob F.

This reminds me on the Badgers Song. Have you seen this??? http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com/

oooh eck!!! Bring it on!!

Yep, ok with me. I'm waiting for a reply from the organizers for details. Bob F.

Lets have a look at the weather on Thursday evening. We will all need time to purchase bait (or not) on Friday. Bob F.

Rapidly loosing enthusiasm. Perhaps I'm a jinx on the these trailering trips. Bloody weather. Thanks for confirming, Dave. Martin, is there anyone else on your boat, besides Rich (if he is coming)? Just trying to confirm who will be on which boat (if we go). Adam and I have a plan B if the weather is too windy. He's gunna give me a thrashing at golf!! Any bets??? cheers Bob F.

I was thinking within the Forum, at least initially. If we get a lot of interesting reviews then maybe it would jusify moving it to the web site. Bob F.

What about looking for a good second hand trailer? Although the trailers for Warriors are built to a special spec (number and type of rollers). Might be worth a call to either Warrior, Cambrian boat, Crayside or Indespension. Also, do you have to buy all the extras right way? Some could be added later or purchased cheaper at boat jumbles. Also, have you looked at the delivery time for a boat only? Cambrian Boats can often deliver quicker than Warrior because they have boats assigned to them in the build schedule. Bob F.

Is anyone reading this??? Can we confirm who is taking boats and which boat buddies are attending or would like to attend? And can someone please double check my tide times?? So far I think we have: Loyal Royal - Mark B + Adam + Bob F. Maverick - Martin + Rich Jaw??? Neo - Paul D + Dave Mayne DaveUK and Kev?? PLEASE CONFIRM!!!! Bob F

Rich, Did you want to join us for the Hayling Island trip this Saturday? I didn't see a reply to the post saying we have resceduled it. Bob F

Thanks Graham, and welcome to the Forum. Adam has been keeping an eye on Crayside, but they have been a bit pricey for what you get. Adam had another boat lined up at Lttlehampton this week but that has just fallen through, also, so he's a bit down in the dumps at the moment. Poor bloke is having a bit of a rollercoaster ride.

Ooooh yummy, a new access to the west side of the Bill. I feel another trip coming up.

Adam, we had better not tell James about the Dartmouth plaice festival on the 24th then...

Aren't you sick that day, James??? I'll vouch for ya!!

A sense of humour. Strong stomach. A second job skill to get you through the winter. A deep pocket. Skilled at LSD unhooking (not critical cus you'll soon get the hang of it). Diplomacy. When all else fails an angry face and loud voice to chase away the dive boats. Ability to um and ahh about absolutely nothing on the VHF. Must to be to tell at least 10 dirty jokes. There's gotta be loads more...

I think it will be good to have a review column on anything fishing related, not just books/videos. I don't think we buy enough books and videos to justify the effort for this alone. Bob F.

OK. I will be ordering at the end of the week. 1 Adult = Mark B 2 Adults = Adam 2 Adults = Mark A Anyone else? Bob F.

Wow, bit of an oversight by boatlaunch!! Kind of negates the use of such a bit slip.

Hey, Mike!! How are you??? Great to hear from you...
