Bloody right!!! Try and stop me! - Could be the maiden voyage! Adam

Mono I presume Bob?? Is that a flurocarbon?

I have a bloody christening to go to that day!!! At 11am as well - right in the middle of the day! So we will be getting there at 9 (is that when it opens?) and will have to be fairly quick - 1.5 hrs. I may need quite a bit of stuff, so will be worthwile! Adam

Yes Paul - it is the same one. - I may owe you a trip as a thank you! Yep - good news! Went for a second viewing today. Crawled around underneath, Looked in the lockers, under the engine everywhere. She is perfect! - 2000 boat, but if she has been used 5 times id be surprised! She even still has that fibreglass smell you get with new boats!!! 50hp 4 stroke. GPS, VHF and Radar. So I have struck a deal - pending a sea trial on Thurs to see the engine running under load. Then I can take her home! Just shows - it was worth waiting for to get exactly what I wanted. Fingers croosed the engine is OK Thurs! Adam

Who insures your boat whilst you are trailering? The Boat Insurer or the Car Insurer? Quick Question - Quick Answer. Adam

Right, I have finally found a Warrior I like - and it hasnt been sold. I am having a final look today before a Sea test next week - then I may take the plunge!!! 1 question though - Does once have an HPI check run on a boat before they buy it? - As you would do a car? I just think that spending the best part of 10k - it would be a wise move - but how would you do this? - they have no registration documents - no vin plate etc??? Please advise. Adam

Im going to go now..... Ill be back in April when the fishing is better and you lot have returned to normal....badger badger! Adam

Beautiful, just beautiful! Seriously very good Mike

Badger, Bagder - Mushroom????? Bob - In the nicest possible way - I think you have lost it! Where on Gods earth did you get that from???......Second thoughts - I dont wanna know!

Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!Turbot!

I'd like to get this also. I was considering writing a few articles on various items of tackle - but it comes down to time. If we could get a section where for example - you enter the name of the item, rate it out of 10, give the plus points and the bad, and then add comments. I think that would do. EG. Product: 30lb Boat Rod Make: Abu Conolon Marks out of 10: 12/10 Plus points: Tippy action, ergonomic foregrip, good number of rings, light, solid reel seat. Minus Points: No gimble Comments: The best rod I have ever used for everything from Bream to Eels. Highly recommended. What do you think? Would this type of interactive media suit the forum better, or could be set this up on the main page?? Adam

Just cause I whip you at fishing - doesnt mean I will do the same at golf!...I expect youll wipe the floor with me! Adam

Woops! Looks like I need to see a doctor also!

BOB!!!!! ARE YOU READING THIS!!!!! LOL!!!!

I am planning to organise a trail-a-way to the first day of the Dartmouth Plaice festival on Sat 24th April. Details are still being decided by my sidekick - Roger the Cabin boy (Bob) but the brief itinery will be: Leave Dorset at approx 4am Trail to Dartmouth Register Launch Fish Catch Plaice (hopefully!!) Come in and retreve boats Log our catch in Come home. I need an idea of what boats wish to come. Ideally the larger boats with 2 crew (3 in total) as this means we take less boats down. I wil then do some research on where and how to fish - although the Skerries bank looks like the favourite, with normal Plaice tactics. So who fancies it???

Secondhand trailer - From what I can gather, the main problem with trailered boats is usually the trailer. They are 'reletively cheap at

Bob came up with an idea the other day - need a bit of advice though. As I am really struggling to find a secondhand Warrior, I am looking at buying the hull and topsides from Warrior, a new trailer, then fitting a decent secondhand engine, and my own electonics. My budget is 10k max. I have broken it down thus: Warrior Hull -

Just thought I'd try the tackle bargins link on the site. I needed some new braid anyway, and thought the stuff Paul D bought was OK, so Ive gone for 200yds of 20lb Grey and 300yds of 25lb Ghost green. We shall see what it is like 0 gunna load my new reels up with it. BTW: - Just bought a Shimano Charter Special 1000LD and a TLD 15. Sold the little calcutta (little small for what I wanted, cracking reel though ) and will keep the big gold Okuma for heavy work on the 50lb rod. Adam

OK!!!! I have checked your tidal predictions, and they look to be pretty spot on according to my calculations. However I'm not 100% familier with where we are launching from - but it looks ok to me. I fear however that we may be battling with the weather again. I have checked all of the weather sites I use (5 of them) and they all paint the same picture. Wind 4/5 Sea State - slight/mod at times Weather - Heavy cloud cover, rain at times heavy. It may change, I suppose we are best to make a decision Fri some time? I can confirm myself, and will text Dave Mayne to check if he is still available. Adam

I thought you had it booked off??? I may take tara - thanks for the offer. adam

2 for me please matey. Thanks adam

nope - he woosed out, and stayed at home!. If I had a boat like his - id be out in a force 9!!!!

Hello young Michael!!, good to have you back on board!!

have you fitted wheels to Neo?!!!

Just spoke to Bob. Sat looks like it could be a goodun, he is going to check. Would be good to do the trip sooner as we get busy with other trips towards April. Paul - Dave Mayne was looking for a boat place - maybe he could crew for you? Adam
