This was a little easier to plan than Hayling! only 3 pages - not 10! Yep, just checked the weather sites and Bob seems about right - although hopefully we will get the better side of the weather - today would have been perfect! I have bait for Bob F -

Taking orders for bait if anyone wants any? Coming from the Fishing Lodge. I have

Hang on jimbo - I swear you ate more than you put back last year?!

Dunno? 95% of my fishing is in 60' max. But I take your point - I will be venturing further afield with BW this year. So may need more than 90'. I have 40 mtrs already, was looking for another 40/50, giving me say 100mtr - or 300'. Working on 3 x depth of water that means I can anchor in probably about 150 max?? Adam

Weather - Looking at 2 forecasts. One gives 2/3 NNW the ohter gives 5/6 NE??????????? http://www.onlineweather.com/v4/uk/sailing/SF25.html http://www.weatherworld.info/harbour/town-...set&tn=Portland What the hell is on? - I reckon these guys just 'gues'' the weather. - Hopeless! Adam

Dropped Blue Warrior off on Tues night to Select Marine. Asked him for a full service and pay particular attention to the impeller and the cam belt. Phoned the guy at 3.30pm yesterday expecting it to be done - but he said he had just started, and he would ring when it was done. At 5pm - still no call so I tried ringing. No answer - gave up at 6.30pm. Anyway thought Id take a drive over anyway to see if it was finished even though he had probably gone home - when I get there he is still there! - Engine finished as well! '6.30am to 9pm 7 days a week me' he told me! - Bloody hell! Anyway - he changed the impeller and the cam, but the rest was all ok - so instead of the usual

The club safety listing says you need a second warp & anchor aboard the boat http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/safetyequip.htm The general rule for your set up sould be: Chain - length of boat, Rope - 3 x max depth of water you are likely to anchor in. My spare warp isnt that long - maybe 80 feet - but this will hold in 80% od my fishing locations should I need it. But I suppose to be on the safe side - you should have an exact copy of your main set up. Does this guy sell it in smaller quanititys than 100m?

I have just picked up a new warp for my boat. The only prob is it is only about 40 mtrs long, and I think about 80-90 mtrs will be needed. It is reasonable quality rope - proper warp I think. My question. What is the best way to join the 2 together? I want to get as smooth seamless joint as possible? Adam PS. Where would you advise me to go to get my extra warp. Being in mind I dont really want pot rope?

I'm surpised you arent booked a B&B for the night before! 5am - thats not early! - Not when your going fishing! - no time is ever too early! Adam

I got several packs of starlites FOC with my order - good service! Adam

I think at the end of the day - if they wanna nick it they will. - Regardless. The only thing we can do is try to deter. I have the hitch clamp. This stops then hitching it up and towing it away. I also have the wheel thingy, and an considering a hard point to chain it to. May concrete a big steel post into the ground and shackle it to that. My main outboard it bolted and locked into the transom, and the aux. has a wicked looking S/S barrel lockover the clamps. This has seized and I cant even do it with the key! Will be interesting to hear others views though. Adam

What PSI should i set my trailer tyres at? Rollercoaster 1 Trailer, single axle. Boat - 16.6', approx weight - 1100kg. Thanks Adam

Paul D - Caught you out!!! - I think?!! You need to go to your My Conrols, and select board settings. Then tick the BST box. Voila' - correct time! adam

Blue Warrior has my mate Stuart (likely to pull out though - young kids and under the thumb! ) I was going to have BillyBoy, but Bob has him, so maybe Ill have Mike?

Good. So: 7am at the slip - prompt. Launched by 8am At mark by 9am. Slack tide for an hour or so, gives us 5 hours of usable tide. Low is at 3pm, so good time to start to head in on the slack? Retreave boats at 4pm. Leave at 5pm Home approx 6pm. How does this sound. We have so far: Maverick - 3 Blue Warrior - 3 Splash Out - 2 Loyal Royal - 2 Others? - Enticer, Neo, ????

Yep - should have raised it at the AGM. Hmmm - see your point, but surely the older fish have 'had their day' take them and leave the smaller ones to breed and continue the population. Adam

http://www.ukho.gov.uk/tideprediction.cfm Tide times. Looks like we are launching into HW, retreaving at LW. I would therefore suggest an early start? What is the slip acces like at diff. states of tide? Adam

Best forecast I can get is to Thurs. Force 3 N / NW. Pretty good? I have 1 crew at present. Could take another. What do we suggest as timings? What are the tides again? I could do with being back in at a reasonable time. Also it is a fare track for all of us back. Im thinking return to shore about 3/4pm. Home 5.30 / 6pm?? Adam

Just looked it up. BFM June 03' p.15 Cod 40cm minimum Bass 45cm minimum The final comment was ' Maybe a small drop in a big ocean, but every long march begins with a small step' Could PBSBAC do our bit? Adam

FBAC introduced an inceased minimum size for bass last year. This was well documented in the press. From 16" to 24" I think? Something we could think about? Adam

Couldnt agree more Bob. I pay

Ummm, OK Mike - Thanks!!!
