Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger!!!!! Missed the reply and now missed the dingy!!

Sorry for the delay guys - you know the reasons why! Well done to John Young who I understand has been pretty ill of late and been in hospital much of the time. 1st - John Young - 9lb 2oz 2nd - Bob F - 8lb 8oz 3rd - Alun Jones - 7lb 8oz 4th - Oli Maingay - 4lb 9oz 5th - Neil Sturt - 3lb 2oz 6th - Mick Barnes - 1lb 12oz

Dennis, My thoughts here: http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/forums/index.php?s...229&hl=aquafish Bottom line is that if you want a pocket sized, purpose built fast fisher which is a mini charter boat in style then they are great - a home build / finish is far preferable for quality and cost. Probably best to drop me a line one evening and I'll have a chat with you.

Yep - liked Cobbs - a good venue. Slightly trickier for bringing live fish to the scales, but workable. Lets use it again in 2010?

Thanks Craig. We will need a lift later in the year for a full service, so will probably use Alun's offer for that and still take you up on your offer. I'll be in touch next few days. Charlie - thanks for the advice. I presume you mean the plastic leg covers? Will aim to get the boat out in the next few weeks for 24 hours and jetwash her off and re-a/f the leg.

Well done all. It's a tough task indeed - but I still think a great turout - and loads of non members, so the message got out. Gutted I couldnt fish!! Good to see a few of you again!

Really? So what are the other options? Did Charlie use normal antifoul, by protecting the leg from reaction in the antifoul using a primer?? Boat coming out in a week so I need to know what to apply? Went down today and barnacles are EVERYWHERE!!! inside the leg, in the water pick ups.... dont think a jet wash will take them off!! On the upside the hull antifoul is working great - just a slime on the hull.

Bob gave it a quick scrub but it needs a really good clean. I could dive it, but it is so filthly only getting it out will sort it. Worst case scenario we will dry her out at Baiter over a tide.

Having not been out on JV for 3 months due to the new family, I popped down today to fuel her up for the Open tomorrow. Fueled and ready I took her up the harbour to check all OK - except not At 3000rpm which usually gives about 25 knots I managed just 10 knots. Flat our gave me 14!! It sounded aweful, and was vibrating like made..... Back at the marina I raised the leg for a look - ah...... half of Poole Harbour now seems to be growing on the leg - the shitty spray on Trilux clearly not working. Anyway - I couldnt clean it with a brush and sponge, so it needs to come out for a good scrub and re-antifoul. Problem is cant really justify

Got a piccy Mike? Just flat will do, no need to inflate?

Have a chat with Mike fox - he offered me a couple which I didnt take him up on?

So, just 5 fish booked in then? Anymore?

Thanks for all the kind comments guys! He's back home now and whilst teeny weeny small, doing really well! Just getting used to family life with 1 extra!

Guys to make the admin easy, please copy the list, and add your name. You dont need to re-type it all, just highlight the text, right click and COPY and then Right click and Paste. Also - youre name is needed, not the boat please! 1.) Trev (Wedger)

This Sat is the annual Bass comp. Simple rules - best specimen. Log your fish in on here with with me directly. Fishing times are 7 hours of your choice between 6am and 6pm. Book in here: 1.)

Out of club waters - but yes have fished it. Some huge eels on it, but not easy to fish - not snagging though!

Sadly not mine this time - but thought you'd like to see this:

Likey to be a few weeks yet - but he is doing well!

Here he is 1 day old - he was pretty poorly at this point, but has improved alot over the last few days which is great news.

Ahem..... four birthday boys! He'll be a club member before he knows it! Same birthday as Ronnie Biggs too

Thanks guys! Still beaming from ear to ear! My own little fishing buddy! An amazing day, a little shell shocked to be honest, but cant wait to get the little man home.

Score sheet here: http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/modules.php?name=D..._op=getit&lid=1 It is on the main page under Downloads. It has the rules on it. It will stay the same for this year but I'll be looking to change it for 2010. For instance - surely in a species hunt catching a pout and a poor cod should count as 2 species? Same for black and red bream ....

He was entered as a club member on the entry list: http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/forums/index.php?s...opic=9073&st=20 Anyway - small issue, doesnt change the winner - but does mean that Jim came 2nd!

Right chaps and chapess's.... I didnt get one catch form emailed over, so had to sit and do them all for you... maybe need to look at a better way of doing it... anyway! Thanks to all who fished. We had 20 booked in and 13 results back. It seemed a tough comp, and was very interesting to look at some of the scores. Rich for example came second with 4 pollock, 4 mack and 3 gurnard - loads of you caught these species, but getting just a few extra made the differance - as Neil showed who won with a catch of 4 mack, 4 pollock, 3 wrasse and 4 pout. Well done Neil. The prize is a

Tom, I can get you 8x2 PAR, but to be honest if youre wanting to make a table, then you'll need joinery grade timber to make a decent job anything else will be liable to twisting and warping. Once you start looking at the cost of the meterial, and the specialist kit you'll need to work it into something that justifies the cost of the timber, I think you'll find that buying one new isnt that expensive after all. Personally I'd look to get a reclaimed / 2nd hand one to get a bit of worn in character. Adam
