great white

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

I hope that it goes so smoothly that you can do a picture diary I was so busy that it did not get done, I have loads of Photo's and could do it now "After the event" if I knew how to get the whole folder on to the gallery Charlie

Nice one Not sure I could stand a full day afloat with him I know Tom has so perhaps he is not as bad as he appears to be Charlie

Aqua Blue or Blue fish???? I hope it all goes well If I can help with advice or suppliers please get in touch, Charlie

Awsome Trevor Hell of a training session Not Powerboat Level 2 that one. No doubt in a special area RM coxns do their surf training at Instow Devon as there is never enough surf at Poole. Charlie

Well done Bob It will be good to see her locally Did you leave the marks in the plotter? Best of luck withthe new one Charlie

We are as keen now as ever and if we have space I am sure we will get takers Not sure if I will be the one to get a bigun onboard as we will need to learn a few tricks of the trade marks for bait etc Bring it on Charlie

I got min efrom James at salterns he offered good discount and launch PDI sea trail etc I would also get the quote from the boat builder as some of them get outstanding discounts from Volvo Charlie

Some big waves there Adam The third one is hell of an advert for the Interceptors and the last one shows that Pilots earn their wages. Looks like the return trip last Sunday charlie

Well done mate I did not think that ether boat would be hard to sell considering the excellent condition they were kept in. Onwards with the new project, Iam sure you wil make a great job of it. You and Bob are welcome onboard when the lure of the sea gets too much. Sam will have joined up by the 48 hr comp so perhaps we could arrange something then. Charlie

Nice set Mike It will look good on the boat. I nearly fitted one of those as the plotter with the fishfinder module, and had seriously considered getting a second later to split the FF and plotter on two large screens. But I decided to stick with the lowrance / Navionics partnership that I had on GW Charlie

Well done lads a few species on a better day The wind was cold ashore today so I bet it had a real nip out there Charlie

I am working on Sat So that usually means that the rest of you can have a calm day, and I get to sit around all day waiting for a breeze for the sailors. Charlie

My boat was made to code just needs a few bits if that is the route we take charlie

Hi Stuart Welcome back to boating and to the Club If you join in on here and/or at the meetings you will learn loads about boating safely and fishing locally. My other two snippets of advice would be to try and stay patient and pick days when the weather is good to remember/learn the skills. secondly perhaps consider a RYA level 2 powerboat course it should give you an excellent start to hours of fun afloat. Charlie

I hope that they manage to do a better job of implementing this than the changes to the bass sizes. Charlie
