    Portland Rig?

    Something like this Just imagine it's a live bait with a single hook. The sinker is a rotten bottom type.

    Portland Rig?

    Found this: http://www.cavalierssac.co.uk/page.php?dom...=Angling%20Tips it sounds like a very much like a ledger except the live bait can swim more freely.
  3. Reason I wanted a navman is so that I can connect my navman DCS to it. Somehow the it doesn't work with the gps I have (although it should do). I thought you are codding today with PJ and JB?
  4. Ban trawlers, bring back the longlines.
  5. http://store.wmjmarine.com/-c14818.html This is the baby. 5500x 519 Antenna 79 Fuel Kit 79 C-map nt+ 149 P&P 89 Total $915 or about
  6. Looking at the Navamn 5500 plotter. The difference between the internal and external antenna are about $100. Is it worth the extra dosh, or would the roof on my boat hinder the internal one receiving information?
  7. You were codless bob last week, but maybe it's about time you also lose the title TBless bob?!
  8. I might be out on Tuesday depending on the weather. Not sure if I can take both of you tho, see if the missus wants to come first. Will know more by the weekend.
  9. That was Headington in Oxford. I was there (a very young Newboy ) when he put it up. If I remember right he owned the cinema and had a planning disagreement with the council, so he put the shark up in his roof as it required no planning permission, as a protest. It became one of the many attraction in Oxford, even the city guild buses go there with bus load of Japanese tourist.
  10. Why Fish are Better than Women. 1 They don't complain about the size of your rod. 2 You can take home more than one fish per night. 3 They give you a good nights entertainment and dinner next day. 4 Fish are willing to swallow anything. 5 You feel proud to be seen with a big fat fish. 6 Fish are happy when you throw them back. 7 You catch fish on crab, but catch crabs...... 8 You can boast about your fish down the pub. 9 Fish don't talk about your tackle with their mates. 10 Fish only have five second memories.

    IOW TRIP

    OH no!! Is there another problem or was it just the engineer leting you down? Usual thing with Marine engineers is to add 25% to their estimated cost for the job and 50% on to their number of days to do it. Mad Mike They ordered a module on Friday and recken it should have been in today, now tomorrow,........ maybe wednesday.

    I wanted to go out tomorrow but my S'Honey is still with the engineer ........
  14. Somehow I don't think I'm gonna to catch anything decent in the weigh department . I'm just talking the family out for a few fish. If I catch anyhting decent, I'll post pictures etc.
  15. I'll fish it provided the weather holds. Probably won't go all the way to Poole might try Hythe where Richard rates really good.
  16. A fish is a fish, and you have a nice pair, so I wouldn't complain.

  19. Well done lads. Wish I'm out there....
  20. PJ you're a very brave man .........
  21. Same here, I promised missus and the kids I'll take them X'mas shopping on Sunday......
  22. I leave my electronics onboard if I will be using the boat again in the next week or so and that neither my missus or I are away from the house.
  23. Tunna bashing next week, anyone?
  24. To add pictures of your boat to the members' boat section, you have to contact the mods. To put a pic on your thread, there are 2 ways, first you can either attach it, using the File Attachment at the bottom, just above where you click to Add Reply. The other way is to use the IMG tab above (when you are replying), but the .jpg must be on the net somewhere.
  25. However, may not be CE approved, ie, imported. Then again, as long as you have you licence and the main unit on display, no one is going to do a detail search of your boat for illegal h/h.
