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!

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

Wow!! Didnt think they were THAT good! Let me know when your qualified and I'll take you out. Swanage pier has some of the most diverse marine life Ive seen around the whole of the south cost - in just 4/5 mtrs of water ive seen in the last few years: black faced blennies, lumpsuckers, john dory, triggers, all of the wrasse we encounter....

Devonshire Cup Coral I think?

Surely youre boat buddy Mr Vazey can sort you out?

Thanks to all who fished - a good turn out - must have been the poo weather we've been having! I'll sort the scores this week when they are all in. Sorry for the lack of reply to Q's as to the comp on or not. Ive not been able to get online since Friday and guessed with a good forecast you'd all be out anyway. Rgds Adam

Same as usual dave. 2 hooks on 1 rod, or 1 hook on 2 rods. Feathers can be used as can any lure. The fish must be caught on a lure - not bait. I'm unclear on baited lures - think we ruled against this.

Yep, looks like it's going to be on. 1 - Gordon Holt 2- Charlie C 3 - Dan C 4 - Colin 5 - Bobbi Add your name to the list if you want to fish.
