great white

Not sure if it came accross last night, but it did in the chat I had with Ian afterwards. Moonfleet angling is doing a huge amount for ex Army lads recovering from traumatic injuries, and for Help for Heroes Ian like many of the lads can not really hold down full time jobs whilst under medical care, but they do make and sell excellent kit. Its benifits to them are apparently far beyond what they earn, it gives them independance and self belief again. I think we as Club Members should give them our support where we can. Charlie

terry Dan and I are working on the boat tonight and I will get his choices and let you know Dan 3.4.9 Charlie 2.4.9 Sorry its late Terry Charlie

Greg He is the one with a new toy and a huge smile

Thats great guys thanks The bidding was taken up last night at our Club meeting. The winning bidders at

Nice fish I have not seen one that big for a few seasons Charlie

The best way to tell the differance is the shape of the nasal flaps have a good look at the full definition picture of the two fish, you should see a marked differance. I can not remember what they differances are at the moment but I have it at home for a photo of LSD. This one is definately a Huss or a world record LSD Charlie

Nice report Lofty Well done on your first ray on the kayak and a PB bream I expect your post will get a few hits from non fisherman, looking for other activities. Charlie

Thanks Guys Had a great meal and a couple of pints during a lovely evening. Also received a few new bits of tackle to test at Alderney or on route. [30 years of training is paying off , Wendy bought me an Avet reel ] Charlie

Belated Happy Birthday Dave I hope that you had a good one and get a bend in that rod very soon. Charlie

Thanks Guys Your good wishes are much appreciated Alun I would love to retire, but have an expensive toy to run Out tonight with Wendy Dan and Chrissie so will have a couple of drinks to approching old age. Charlie

Thanks Jason

I asked the question yesterday and received some responses Interesting pictures and comments here http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/show...d=1#post4444985 Charlie

There are some very basic checks for power Does it power tilt up/down Is the panel lighting up are the alarms sounding when the ket is turned. Is the battery correctly connected But as he is an engineer I presume that he has checked these. It should not be the kill cord as she would turn over but not start But it could be the gear shifter idle protection. fitted to prevent starting in gear, if it jams up it can prevent starting or even turning. Also make sure that the engine has been earthed correctly. I stripped a Yamaha 60 2 stroke, down to the cranckshaft once to fit new bearings, all went back fine but she would not go. Using pictures and the wiring diagram I removed and replaced the electrics moving some of the black earth wires to exactly the correct places. after that she started first go. Hope it is just a small problem mate Charlie

Adam have you hacked into my PC to see the plan?? Day one sounds very close, except the HW at Bray means fuel stop then speedy. Slack LW in the channel about 0927 could mean an early start [ I had better warn Dan now LOL] HW Braye 1147 means that if you need fuel it would have to be in about 1330-1400 The Slack at the rock is about 1430. Could be an early start and push SW to fish the slack at a wreck or wrecks 40 miles from home, and get some bait then to Braye and/or the tope marks for mid afternoon BRING IT ON Charlie

After a recent meal in the Broadstone one , I think the word chef should be deleted. It could mislead people, into thinking they use one.

I would like to see a picture of an existing wind farm , taken at 9 miles range on a good day. There must be some out there that would give a more accurate image of what would be seen. Perhaps I will ask on the WSF site IMHO the place where you would see the things most would be from high areas like Durlestone and the hills on the South of the Isle of Wight. Charlie

Terry I will try to get Menus sorted out on Saturday at the dinner with my crew [ except Dan who is in Spain] I believe that Manta Ray is still coming , but perhaps we can ask Alan on sat as well Getting closer now I may start to plan a bit soon ref tides etc Charlie

Well done Martin , it sounds like you made good use of the moulds and a pile of lead. I tend to do that too, make a lot while I have all the gear set up [and wendy is out] She hates the thought of me in the lead fumes in the garage. Charlie

I get a lot of the timber for work through Sydenhams Plywood WBP [waterproof and boil proof] or the more expensive Marine Ply Hardwoods in all grades up to greenheart S they should be able to help

Have a good 50th Chris Not a bad reason to miss the Dinner Dance Enjoy New York Charlie

Hi All Two things that are happening at PYC that may interest you. Tue 1st May 0930 Wind Farm presentation Sun 6th May 10-1400 Club Open day, for anyone that is interested in what happens at Parkstone Yacht Club, especially those that enjoy sailing as well as Fishing. Charlie

because of a Holiday later in the year, I have just bought a rovex travel spin rod and a baitrunner 4000 size fixed spool I bought the shortest rod [8ft] as it has the lightest action, but there are three to choose from in the range. I am sure that it will make a great bream rod. not sure about 6oz weights though. He also has them in two piece which are cheaper without the hard tube. mine was

I think that anchor would be OK in shallower waters with chain and plenty of warp out. But if going out deeper I would go up to a 7.5kg. Nice fishing platform, 23ft Open boat has a lot of space. I hope you have a much fun as I did on my Wilson Flyer 17 Charlie

Good luck with the sale Jim, sorry to hear that she is being sold. You will be more than welcome with us. I have a mate who is thinking of buying a warrior and is considering a new one, as he could not find the spec he wanted second hand Pm me or email me the specs and I will give him a call, it could help you both out Charlie
