Gordon in action Charlie

Cleaver stuff guys Nice one Just need to get a few good fish photo's now for you to adjust Charlie

Adam I can not help with the trailer But for six months from April I am sure I should be able to help with the bilge supports, as seen in my front garden Charlie

Welcome Duncan I am sure you will soon see that last nights meeting was not normal, the committee try very hard to ghet through the formalities promptly then on to various discussions and presentations before dropping down to the bar I hope all goes well with the new boat, see you afloat Charlie

Nice one Gordon We too could not resist the weather after a few bumpy rides at weekends Dan had tried three times to get his mate Tom [Jnr Member] his first Conger so we headed to a wreck for the end of the flood a couple of eels to me and at least we had shown hin what the bites looked like Inshore a bit for the middle of the tide and Dan had the first Bream on the new boat. 2lb 14 not a bad start and lovely for tea tonight as the tide eased we decided to check some Numbers, could not find one but found two others. the tide started to ease so on a calm sea we went out to the wreck alongside enticer. although their rods seemed to indicate they had the prime spot we had a few with Tom getting two Congers the best was over 20lb. I think Dan had the best with one that snapped the hook as I tried to get it in the net, [about 35lb] My best weighed 29lb. Lovely day for fishing, even though it was a rush to get the start of the flood then back to Poole and spruced up for the AGM Charlie

Sounds like we will be invading Alderney later in the summer. Charlie

Thanks Adam Can I take you up on that Charlie

that sounds like fighting talk paul...........................but your not gonna beat it breaming! Yes mate but it depends if your breaming is like ours just a filler between slack tides Charlie

nice one mate perhaps we will now get to buddy up Let me know if you are on the boat and i will wander down the lane charlie

Nice to see there are some rod benders out there Fred Nice angling Mate Charlie

moulds I have But can anyone help with a decent burner My old tar heating ring seems to really soot up everything Any experts out there want to tender a solution or theory? Out of interest I have natural gas , butane and Propane available as fuel and have tried the first two with little differance. Charlie

Plenty of contacts for boat transporters at work if you need them Dave But they are not cheap Hard to hire a decent trailer nowadays but some transport companies can use van and trailer to keep prices down, Charlie

Certainly stirred up the bottom a bit Those that have not been before note the water colour. Forget your attractor beads and artificials, its all down to scent trails, and the local worms are lug. Charlie

I thought pictures like that were thankfully a thing of the past. I wonder if they are trading up to a trawler Charlie

Good luck with the sale and change of boat Mark Charlie

A lot of the more powerfull boats at work use a spray on antifouling It is marketed for props, shafts and P brackets as well as stern drives so it should stick, Sold as an aerosol, One of those boats boasts about 900 HP [twin 450;s] Charlie

Also very tempted for a day off thursday May be a late call but if we go we could have plenty of room if anyone is short of a ride Probably be more than just a bream bash Charlie

Hi Dale and welcome to a busy Forum As others have said it will be nice to hear how the fishing is on the Eastern end of the Island Tight lines Charlie

I hope she or the share goes as quickly as the others have recently mate You are more than welcome on Alfresco with me and the boys, its always a scream with the bear onboard. Tight lines Charlie

Cunning Plan 1 Fish of the month prize is a tackle voucher for Poole angling centre Not sure that even a non fishing spouse would believe you would get the voucher in anticipation of future fish catches, or that you can get a rod and reel for

Well done Dave, If I had known last Sunday was your last trip I would have taken a few pictures when we saw you on the patch. Here is one from a few seasons ago for you Sad to see them go but if they lead to bigger /better the sadness goes fast Happy hunting Charlie

Hi again Logged on my pc this time I had a simular problem to Craig on GW, but the clear bowl made it easy to spot that the system had water in it , so it was easily drained and engine restarted. That is why I changed the bowl on the new boat, to what I believe is now a transparent plastic [not glass anymore] actually the bowl was a freebie from someone who had to change it because of coding but i had to buy the fitting kit and seals. Charlie

Welcome Derek I hope we can assist in some way as you get back afloat on your longliner Tight lines Charlie

Tony at select Marine is one of the Clubs sponsors and can usualy sort out a price for Club Members on mariners Charlie

You should see the training tank in the RNLI College when they wind up the wind machines it gets so rough it makes the experianced crews sea sick They also black out the room, have strobe machines and huge speakers making it sound like a storm as well as feel like one. They can invert the RIB in the tank I believe that the RNLI consider it safer than taking a boat out on the sea as they used to. I wanted to have a go, but they only do RNLI crews Charlie
