The bones make a very good fish stock. The flesh is a little like a overcooked freshwater eel expect tougher/chewier, but it taste superb. I would rate it one of the tope 5 eating fish caught in club water. There are lots of way you can eat it, just don't store it for too long in fridge/freezer, they don't keep very well. You can batter it, bread crumb, or sweet and sour it with small chucks/strips. One advice is too skin it and when cutting it, cut it along the body rather than across it, as if there are any bones, they lay along the fish, cutting it long way, help keep the bone long and not into millions of 10mm bits.

If I was you, I will check my Paypal account. The chance is if someone got hold of my ebay account detail, they could well have the Paypal account too. Is you computer sufficiently protected? Nothing in life is 100%, someone might have put a virus/keystroke recorder into your computer or they simply hacked into yours.

It looks like a speed boat of some sort. How did it go down.?

Didn't James win last year's comp with a 46lb(?) conger?

I have 20 blocks of 1 lb I don't need. Anyone interested can have it @

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.

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.

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.

Nice looking fishing boat.

It's simple, none of them wear a helmit!

What is the main reason for motorbike accidents in Jamaica? Study these pictures... closely.

Alternatively you can look at Hustler hub and prop if anyone is starting from scratch. The hub is about

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.

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.

So how bad was it down the coast yesterday? It was blowy as hell up this end.

HOw difficult is it to tag a shark/tope? Not that I'm likely to catch anything big enough warranting a tag.....

surely it's a 'm' not a 'n'?!

Isn't it a Boston Whaler? Who's got one of this?

I can't spell to save my life but it hasn't put me off.....

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.....

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.

Anyone seen this boat from X'church? It's a small boat operating out off Mudeford.

Total outsider here, but what does ivy do to honey? Why is it bad?
