Oglometer My best score is under 45 seconds.

Errrrr..... I don't bl00dy know, You're the flipping committee!!!! That was what I thought, when the rule book said private boats, never thought about the scenario you talked about. Then if extreme case is applied, what happens if it was a chartered boat, but you are a friend of the skipper and he took you and friends out on a day trip as a private treat to friends, would that count?!

I thought it was only me who wondered how he got onboard?

Gordon, but it needs to be in a club boat, unless you are planning to trail your boat all the way to Spain......

Very good point Mike, sort of echo what I went thru. When I started sea fishing about 2 years ago, I went into my local tackle shop, told then where I want to fish and mt budget (

Isn't there a dealership in Cobbs right next to the slipway?

As martin said this will depend on type of cars. I think it's around 75kg for most large family car. On the larger 4x4 the hitch weigh is more. Even more so if you fit uprated springs. I've been told the Muzzo tows better with 100kg+. You can also do the adjusting down the slip, just get someone to hold the boat (my advice is do it on a flooding tide from low water, this way your boat won't get standed) while you and someone else do the adjusting.

If you budget doesn't stretch that far with a new reel, try ebay for a second hand. I bought a Penn 535 b4 xmas for

Easy adam, get Martin to upgrade his boat and sells you Maverick cheap.......

The package is probably well short of the golf's legal towing weigh of 1200kg, but I wouldn't like using it to pull the boat up a slipway, especially a sheepish one, Baiter probably ok tho. Another thing I would check os the nose weigh of the trailer, use a bathroom scale, place a block of wood on top to protect it, then either lower the jocky wheel or by use piece of wood to measure how heavy it is. It should be no more than 75 kg for most package.

Happy birthday Paul

Try putting as much weigh as you can to the other side, or starts carrying someone really heavy fishing.

Lovely fish, bet it fought like hell.

Rich, do we need a rod licence or it's private ground and we won't get checked.....

Sorry, all I recall is it's somewhere up north.

When will they ever learn? On a boat without a lifejacket is just stupid. I bet they have lost a lot of their fishing tackles, an expensive lesson but one they will have to live with. PS Wonder how much it's gonna cost thenm to get the outboard sorted?!

There's a 5kg bruce ancgor on ebay no 7214064700, but it ends in the next 3 hours and you have to pick it up from Newport Pagnell (M6) so if anyone here is a travelling saleman yo might want a bid.

Me? Getting rid of my beloved ?! I wouldn't hear of it.....

Ditto.

Sunset? Feb 14? Time to get some brownie points I think.

I'll bring my bass rod with a shimano fixed spool. Where is High Post services, is it near the cross road with the hotel on the corner? I take it you meant the A345 from Salisburt to Amesbury?

This is a good one, especially to some of us who's been married for a long time......

Wondering if the Sound of Mull is withing club water.......

Bloody ell, where do you get them? An antique shop or down the local carboot sale.....

How's the oil consumption? I understand at run in (officially it doesn't have one) it use a large amount of oil, the cpu does it automatically.
