great white

Hi Jim/Steve Can existing youtube videos be added easily? If so is that an admin job or can we do it?

Thanks Mal, Congratulations on being voted in as Chairman. I am sure you will do a great job. A very good AGM, followed off by a very interesting InSite into International match angling tactics. Having fished with Mike Fox recently I can certainly say that these guys put huge efforts into rigs, tactics and bait preparation/ use. Charlie

Well done and huge thanks Tony 13 years at the helm, after I believe 12 as the Club Secretary, so 25 continuous years on our Committee. I hope that you and Lorraine now get more time to enjoy your retirement and make good use of the camper. If you ever fancy coming fishing with me on Alfresco, please give me a call. Cheers Charlie and Wendy

Thanks Steve, Nice fish Jerry😄

Just watched this podcast Goes a bit deep and is Vortex biased, but if you are interested it explains what changes over their ranges

Happy Birthday Tony I hope that you are doing something nice and enjoying retirement.🍷🍷

Thanks Terry At the moment I have just been trying to get Mel at the Bon Jour

Been trying to contact the accommodation on the Island for a coupe of weeks. So far no response Hopefully they are just away on holiday. Has anyone else tried?

A bit closer to home. 20lb 4oz

Thanks for reminder Martin.

Thanks Jim

Would like thesaw bench Jim Would it be ok to get it at the AGM?

Thanks again Mal

That is the quandary Mal A lot like your original recommendation are 8 x32 or same brand are larger/heavier at 10x 42 is it better to reduce magnification or field of view? certainly do not have the budget to go for some that bird watchers use. Avalon seem to be a good respected brand at reasonable cost.

All sound like good upgrades Mal Just need to add teamaker

A long read, but well worth it. Interesting that charter fishing in Dorset gets mentioned, and the side effects that have lead to improved catches for RSA's after some restrictions on commercial activities were introduced. Let's all hope that that trend continues and accelerates.

Thanks Graham all great information. Image Stabilisation sounds a great idea, as it seems to work so well with cameras. I was going to go for high magnification but after reading some of the information available online, I will limit that.

Thanks Jerry appreciated thanks

Thanks Greg That's a great offer, but I may have to miss tomorrows meeting as its the Yacht Club AGM. In case it finishes early could you please take them with you. Could you also let me know what model no yours are so I can have a look at specs online.

Thanks Mal I saw those online, but thought I would ask for input rather than just accept reviews. Thanks for your recommendation

Hi Guys We are going on a Holiday later this year, to a scenic part of the states and I was considering updating my Bino's to take with me. The pair I have on the boat are fine but they are a bit large and heavy. Does anyone [Maybe the bird watchers] have any recommendations, for compact and lighter ones at a reasonable price. Thanks Charlie

I hope that they are going to mark that before the summer season or it will be a place for a lot of boats to ground

Hi Guys Dave and I have been chatting about the annual trip to Alderney and need to see if others are thinking of going. With the price of fuel and everything else [no regular crew] I will probably accept a space on Reel Magic again Dates seem to be 12th to 15th May With a reserve date of 6th to 29th. Anyone else thinking of going? Or if a couple would like to come with me on Alfresco, please let us know. With things as they are , it probably would only be on if we got a very good weather window. Thanks Charlie

Happy Birthday Toby.

What a shame it looks a nice boat for cruising.
