Or you can use a lazy line. Fasten a length of rope no longer than the hull (so if it fall under it will not reach the prop) put a clip on the end, when arrive at the choosen mark guesstimate how much rope you need, tie a perfect loop (similar to a bowline but can be tied in the middle of a rope) clip the lazy line onto the loop and let the anchor down with the rest of the rope in a drum inside the boat. Only problem is that it can take up some space on the deck.

nice fish PJ

when i'm on a small boat i wear a life jacket but when i'm on a chartered i tend to be without one, maybe because no one else wears one it's too early to say what happened, maybe the old guy had an heart attack and is dead before he hit the water .....

was that from the ebb? did you have to ground bait ot not ..... going on tue and hope to catch some. dover was called off today, skipper's house was damaged by quake yesterday, first trip cancelled because of earthquakes

It just prove to be careful is the key to safety. Not much point of having all the satety gears in the world if they aren't being used.....

Well done Terry, good results.

oops..... not much of a convoy, is it?!

Ain't the wheel differ in size?

navman is simple to use but hasn't got many function the other have.

Maybe he tempted the fish with a worm bait ....................

not a pretty sight

Maybe we should have a tug of war between a etec and a 4 stroke just like they did in You Tube?!

I remember the cancelled trip last year we had over 10 boats, even I was bringing sweet honey. Maybe we now have more larger boats which are moored rather than trailered. Good luck to you guys, I'm off to Dover to catch the bass

If you want to go faster with a new paint job, don't use XP, use the new Vista, it's much faster .......

What the hell is it?

20lb+ ?

Go to parkers guild, they have all the technical data you need for your car. Most medium size family will tow around 600kg.

Suss your secret on how to catch lots of pollocks....... Maltesers!!!!

Does uptide outfit have to have to hve mono or would braid work?

A lovely fat bird ...............

Worth remembering to lube the cable annully as it helps to prevent it from seizing up.

Than you guys, othig special, just wored as normal and spent today helping little sister move. However, fishing next week hopefully.

I have been guilty in the past being a litter bug, but I saw the light and am now a completely changed man.... When I'm on a chartered, it surprises me how many anglers are still litter bugs.

There are a couple of inshore wrecks off Portland which hold Lings, but they get argetted a lot.

Andy is a great angling skipper, will try his best for your fish. One thing he hates, non-anglers .......
