how about this little sal, bit more money but a big colour plotter as well

hey everyone, I've now got Fugazi and I'm very happy with her, Gordon has looked after her superbly.

Mike

many thanks for all the suggestions, I will check out the menus online.

My grandad used to take us to la mamma for special accasions when i was a kid, must have started over 25 years ago.

haven't been for a couple of years

I can be fussy at restaurants, I like things homemade and not shipped in ready done.

Hi Guys

Can people please recommend me a nice restaurant in the poole- southampton area, I particulary like seafood, not too fussed on cost as long as the food is worth it! padstow is a little far!

its the girlfriends birthday so please no burger vans! cheers

Mike

and me, mostly without the picture as well!

what trace line do people use?

the fish soup is done and bloody hell does it taste good, its the classic fish soup recipe from rick stein, not bad for pout, whiting and doggies! Think I will have to fish for them more, sod all this cod nonsense

thanks mick, just starting the fish soup and I think its fish and chips for tea!

i see the needles/alum bay and down to the ridges. is also a proposed area,

some quotes from the blurb.......

"The Needles are most commonly used by recreational boat anglers and sailors"

"could allow fish species and lobster that are popular with anglers to recover and multiply"

"anglers to be the first beneficiaries of any spill-over from the core marine reserve area"

seems like the activities of the recreational boat fisherman are the target here.

everytime i look sunday gets a little worse, now 16-18mph easterlies on xcweather with strong gusts!

I got some quotes recently, the cheapest was powertech, he also said I could try different props foc but i would have to trial them myself,

may be of interest

video makes you weep

Well, I didn't go on the basis of a terrible forecast and this morning it doesn't look too bad! bramblemet is giving a f3 in the solent and its been lovely and sunny in hythe! - gutted

thanks for the feedback guys, i'll make a decision tomorrow, may even try for a flounder or 2 around keyhaven/pennington marshes or newtown creek (exploring required)

weather looks pretty horrible all weekend, what is it like in the solent tucked into the isle of wight in strong sw winds? Thinking close in around gurnard or hamstead?

I'd like to get out this weekend if possible, prefer cod but will settle for flounder! need a chill out away from work, don't mind the rain but don't want to be getting thrown all over the place in my orkney

duncan, not an official document but..........

I have also seen this info on other websites

Hi Brian, its an unbraked trailer,

I understand the secondary means of attachment is also a legal requirement for unbraked trailers?

glad no damage was caused to anyone or the boat, I use a motorbike locking chain as a secondary means of attachment to the tow vehicle, the thin wire on the orkney trailer was well corroded and useless.

hey Adam sorry to nit pick but my thornie was 11lb 12oz

Result From The Grinch

 

Mike 02380 11lb 12oz Thornback

Mick worked as a decoy and targetted dogs to let Mikes bait have more chance of a ray

Thanks Mick, had a great day and chuffed to bits with my thorny

great fishing and report mark

the more i read the document the more confused I get! it seems to contradict itself to my mind, please can someone more enlightened give an answer!

http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/...-act-condoc.pdf

p35 in this document gives some information,

I don't know if this is up to date or the definitive answer.
