Craig, I'm hoping to go on Sunday as that appears the best weather window at present. Would love to buddie but am not 100% sure I will be able to go yet. Regards Tomo

We had Non stop attacks when fishing Ledge on Saturday Tomo

Hi Lads, There are Loads and Loads of mullet at Iford Bridge on the Stour.......I have been feeding them with bread off of the bridge. Tomo

Thanks for the tips Lads, I am happy at the opinion that mono still rules with uptiding. I intend to give it a serious bash once I get afloat again but I will be initially fishing out of Walton in Essex...............So I will be on known territory but will be giving it a trial on our own marks......maybe the Dolphin Banks rather than Poole Harbour as I fish out of Christchurch. Tomo

Hi Guys It was 35 years ago that I did my last stint of uptiding, which was all we did in the Thames Estuary fishing for rays etc. and reel line used was only mono...... Now I intend to have another bash and wonder which is the best line for uptiding, braid or mono ? Any opinions would be appreciated. Tomo

Hi Adam, for your guidance I have attached a link which should be self explanitory Navigation light requirement Webpage In Addition it would be adviseable to include a white achor light if you intend to do much night fishing. Tomo

Hi Rob, I had a very nasty experience with hiring one of their trailers when I collected my boat from Wales, the brakes failed and the overrun packed up halfway back and I stoved in the back of a car in front. Phone Ambrows and they wern't really interested.....told me to leave the trailer and boat and they would try and resolve it the next day! It took us about 5 hrs to do a temporary fix and when we got the trailer back 2 days late they said they would not charge me for the addional hire!!!! The trailer was not fit for hire.......so thanks but no thanks. Tomo

Hi Guys I am looking to hire for 2 days a twin axle trailer for my Pirate 21. The trailer should be capable of taking a 22' boat and approx 2.0 ton in weight. Any offers would be appreciated. Tomo

Thanks for that lads It appears that maybe its too early for this technoligy to be efficent at this level of the market although for the 12ins screen the cost is

Thanks for that Gordon............Any comments on how good the side imaging was as this was the main reason for considering it, as my current system (C120) is more than adequate as a radar, gps and fishfinder. Thanks, Tomo

Hi Lads, Anybody had any experience with the new Humminbird 981C SI wide Sidescan sonar fish finder. I am considering the addition of one to complement my Raymarine C120. Tomo

Thanks Lads for all your assistance.........Fished the Shingles today.started of with small rays .....then had a 13Lb 6oz Thornback... followed by my mate Tubby finding a 6 lb 12oz Bass....usual boat load of doggies and smashed by tope... but a good day had.. will be trying your marks on Friday.......

I fear that its a case of Stevensons....If you cant beat the EU bretheren...then join them (The Untouchables)....Just wish our goverment had the b@lls to act like the Iceland LADS.....If you put them out of buisness..someone will be waiting to fill the gap! IT MAKES OUR CONSERVATION EFFORTS TOTALLY FRUITLESS!!!! Tomo

Charlie, Thanks for that................wait to hear from you... Tomo

Nice One PJ ....Did you have many fish....we had a load on Friday the best just made 4 lb.....but 30+ fish to 3 lb and 40 to 2 lb...all on the ebb...and all on squid Tomo

Hi Lads, anyone have a 12 and 16 oz bopedo lead mould as I'm of to Alderney for a with Shogun for a week soon and need to knock up some leads... Regards Tomo

Launching is not so much a problem...........its retrieval that's the real problem as the drop of at the end of the slip will not allow you to pull boat and trailer out together. Ive, launched my Pirate 21 ( Souter 21 built by Pembrokshire ) at low water just be carefull as you back the wheels over the ledge...You can retrieve the empty trailer providing you have a 4 x 4 . I would say as a guide to be safe, 2 hrs either side of low water springs for launching and mid tide for retrieval. Tomo

PJ, If Your fishing next to me next time could you put in a bit more Risto mix for both of us.....I really must get a bait dropper!!

PJ, Five of my bream were risotoed right up....and I watched you dumping your supper sonic bait dropper in........Now I Know the contents.... Rice and squid pieces....couldnt put some garlic with the mix....then I could put them straight on the BBQ. Thanks mate Tomo

PJ Sounds like you can walk on water we couldnt get in till bout 5.00 Tomo
