    Braid

    Surely a porbeagle will bite thru anything including the largest mono or any tope/conger trace? Unless you are using a proper shark trace, then if you are, you expect a porbeagle or blue, so tackle loses is expected.
  4. Not sure how a marine diesel engine differ, but on an automobile engine, one would runs at it's most economical @ its designed rev range, and not just because it is running at low rev. May be the volvo engine is designed to pair it to a bigger boat and running it with the pirate 21 actually makes it less economical.

    Braid

    I always use a leader, sometime short, sometime long depending on the type of fishing. I use a long heavy leader when congering for big fish, short one like bream. If it even gets snagged, usually it's the knot/swivel that breaks. Only once did I loose over 100 yards of braid, that was when it caught at the stern of my boat on a screw.
  6. Nice looking fishing boat.

    Prop Damage

    Alternatively you can look at Hustler hub and prop if anyone is starting from scratch. The hub is about
  12. i must be a bit thick as i cant find the link. You need to be a club member (not forum member) to see the link.

    Prop Fins

    Some are known as Doul (?) fins. They are said to improve hole shot but once up on the plane, as it 'cut' thru water, it's one more drag on the boat so it worsens the fuel economy. Also different design have different effect on boat, I used to have one that looks like an aeroplane wings, ie., horizontal for a bit then up at an angle. I found it made the boat lean to one side.
  14. So how bad was it down the coast yesterday? It was blowy as hell up this end.

    Tope

    HOw difficult is it to tag a shark/tope? Not that I'm likely to catch anything big enough warranting a tag.....
  16. surely it's a 'm' not a 'n'?!
  17. Isn't it a Boston Whaler? Who's got one of this?
  18. I can't spell to save my life but it hasn't put me off.....
  19. I thought it was only me who couldn't see any concrete steps in the proposal , looks like the penpushers are at it again at floating all these ideas what they want to achieve but without saying how they are going to achieve it.....
  20. Lightning is the name of the fishing boat, don't have ant pictures, just curious as in an advert in BFM it says it's a 40knots fishing boat, that's bl**dy fast.
  21. Anyone seen this boat from X'church? It's a small boat operating out off Mudeford.
  22. Total outsider here, but what does ivy do to honey? Why is it bad?
  23. If it was a river stretch, clubs have to put up signs saying it's private fishing, not sure about the harbour, maybe it's in the harbour bylaw bury somewhere deep in the harbour charter or something.

    Auto Trim Tabs

    I have heard about the Smart tabs system, almost everyone who'd installed it recommend it. Not expensive when compare to a hydralic or elec system.
  25. Nice fish and the sea is so calm
