Didn't fancy doing it myself..... still remember my first Okuma, it's never been the same since I took it apart and serviced it

Thx Martin

Anyone hnow the guy who fishes on Silverspray and does reel servicing? I think his name is Dave. I need my Avet serviced and Reel Care in Southampton don't touch them. I know met Dave a few times and he gave me his business card (now lost).

If you are gonna use boiling water, 2-3 mins is far too long, I would say 30 second is probably enough if not too much

My eldest isn't into fishing so it's out of the question. Also when the sun is out but is too windy to fish I guess it's a great way (and cheap) to keep them busy for the day.

I'm thinking of taking my boys to go fossil hunting down Lyme Regis, any locals got any tips for us?

You will need to register at either Poole Angling or at Cobbs quay if you wish to be in the comp.

Congratulation to Adam and Rach, now the real work begins

RE: Mackie sushi, did you take the membrane off or did you skin the fillet? If you eat it with the membrane it's very chewy, but if you take the skin off, it doesn't taste as nice with the skin on. Not sure how practical it is to take the membrane off on a bobbing boat but when you are at home try peeling the thin plasticky membrane off, it's a bit extra work but personally I think it's well worth it.

I will definitely check beforehand...... just in case you get landed with a big fine.

Searched Yell, only found 1 brs in Ashley Rd, poole and it's a security firm, is it the right one?

I'm looking for some (a metre or 2) of 1/2" metal pipe, either in mild steel or similar metal which I will die/put a thread onto it, so the pipe will have to be fairly thick wall. Anyone know where I can get some please? I've tried the usually builder merchant (Jewson, Graham, plumb centre) and engineering firms but no luck.

80?

I'm aftering one of these, the lowest price I have seen on the net is

As long as they have also updated their data and you have done the same with your unit.

b*stards

Bought too many when I was in the state last year, here's one surplus to requirement.

Surelty it can only be good for angler? Trawlers can't get close to them, and they serve as home for very small fish which in turn feed bigger fish. Similar to oil rigs in my opinions, just a lot smaller.

Just use a slider with a short trace plus a few spoons for slacker tide, longer trace when tide picks up.

Well done and congrat Tom, a (2) wonderful fish and beautiful day fishing.

Hoping to goto Folkestone for the Bass next Tuesday, however, if the weather isn't too good over East I wouldn't mind being the last minute replacement.

My apologies.... I've always thought they are the same, could have sworn read it somewhere they were.... but then again, I could have them mixed up with something else.....

The boats are made from the same mould by different people, if you search predator and warrior on the forum, there were detailed didcussion about the boats about 3-4 years ago.

Just out of interest, what are you doing and how much? I thought
