  1. I need to run the outboard in and I have only got Tuesday free, so will it be ok to put Sweet Honey on water in a F4/5 southerly in Solent or not? I think it would be sheltered to a certain degree.
  2. Found this on the net and it explains MMSI quite well. MMSI
  3. Terry, wouldn't it make more sense if you store the boat and only tow the caravan down when you require it?! I suspect you don't want to stay overnight everytime you fish.
  4. Bunk it on Ebay, you might get a fiver for it....

    Anchor Rope

    The poly ropes float and therefore any lose ropes will float on the surface and in danger of fouling boat props. Just think lobster/crab potters with miles of floating ropes. Nylon has stretch characteristics like oue mono. In condition where boat is rocking up and down, there's less chance of the anchor jumping as the rope will cushion some of the shock. As Jack said, nylon is less likely to tangle/easier to untango. 3 strands are more likely to tango if you are coiling it anticlockwise(?), multiplait doesn't have this problem. There are more but I just can't remember at the mo.
  6. I thought ballan are a little bluer and darker in colour?!
  7. Beautiful fish, what sort of wrasse is it?
  8. Coddy, you have more or less the same set up as me, mine are the 7100 and 5600. Will try to get the two to talk to each other plus fit the fuel meter soon.
  9. I'm intrigued what engine is this Kam Martin It's a Tohatsu tldi 90. Hopefully the boat can run from Cobbs to the harbour entrance without having to change gas tank.....
  10. Just as well I didn't think I would be able to take part. Just towed my boat back all the way from Fordingbridge (with a new engine, I may add ), a mere 23 miles away, but everytime the wind got hold of the boat it was bloody scary and I was only doing 50mph
  11. Can't remember whether it had a black spot on the tail or not, but I guess the skipper knows his fish. He said it wasn't far off the british record. He says many get caught but not many rightfully identified.
  12. The skipper said something along the line of 'corequeen'?! Only a little fella, but he reckons it's a big one for them. What is this wrasse?

    Anchor Recovery ?

    You can get an anchor recover ring (Alderney ring is trade marked) plus a triangle with a hole on top for
  14. Oh my god, it's so bright.... I've been blinded.....
  15. So is it just the Angling Centre comp that's off or the PBSBAC one as well?

    Relay Change

    Don't knock it Dan, some people would give an arm for your problem......
  17. Hello, my name is Lewis and I suffer from the guilt of not forwarding 50 billion f*cking chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe that if you send them on, a poor 6-year-old girl in Arkansas with breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her to a traveling freak show. Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you, and everyone to whom you send "his" email, $1000? How stupid are we? "Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by a model I just happen to run into the next day!" What a bunch of bullsh*t. Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and Sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing a chain letter that was started by Peter in 5 AD and brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower. F*ck 'em. If you're going to forward something, at least send me something Mildly amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 10 of your closest friends, And this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a Nickel from some omniscient being, forwards about 90 times. I don't f*cking care. Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it's our own unpopularity. The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you sh*gless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on. Don't p*ss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to the ass of a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if You forward this email. Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and Will consume your genitals. Have a nice day. PS. Send me

    Anchor Rope

    Dan I think it's 250 feet. Ropeseller sells it at round numbers and shortish lengths, like 100 feet, 50m, 250f and 100m,.... From time to time he will have longer ropes but it's rare. I'm pretty sure he's selling 50m for about
  19. Wouldn't it be nice if we can pick'n'mix weather and tide conditions?!
  20. Ouch.....
  21. On Medtcheck it's improving, slowly. It's now down to a force 4 SW on Sunday.

    Anchor Rope

    I bought my first roll of 3 strand from him, good seller, except the rope is now at the bottom of Freshwater bay.......

    Clever

  24. Bob, there's no need for you to buy the 7200, all you have to do is catch the 3rd largest bass for the Navman bass comp in BFM.........
  25. Lovely fish, especially we caught nothing special yesterday.
