great white

Hi Jason Well done mate you hung on in there for the right boat I hope you get many hours of fum over the comong season remember to take your time and let the skills develope or take experianced crew a few times before getting to carried away. If you need a few tips I woud be happy to help. Charlie

Nice report Tom very interesting I bet the Charter fleet are loving the pair trawlers. When we get the boat done perhaps we can shadow you on one of your trips Charlie

Nice one Gordon Great trip and reports If there was any way that I could work more hours on the boat this sort of thing would give me the incentive Unfortunatly both boys are very busy on school work and there are only so many hours free in a week. but we will be there soon I hope It would be interesting to know which wrecks you were trying for the early pollack, can you Pm me. Charlie

Sounds like a very busy day just the thing to start a year with, perhaps we will give the area a visit later in the year well done Kam Charlie

What do retired people do all day? Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well for example, the other day I went into town and went into a shop. I was only in there for about 5 minutes, when I came out there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I went up to him and said, "Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a f***** break?" He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a s---head. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote. Personally, I didn't care. I came into town by bus. I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired....... It's important at my age...... For some reason Jack and mike came to mind when I read this Charlie

Yes paul yu are right they are on my system the weather has been good and I have been outside so I missed them incidently the dates on the reports are not coming through correctly on PJ's and they all appear to come through twice, but I see that you are sending them to both addresses to be sure so no problem there Keep them coming chaps Charlie

Hi Guys a nice read and some great pictures as I have not received any catch reports yet this month, please do not forget, FOM trophy and a rod this year remember. Charlie

Very nice Adam can you PM me his number as I had better get the name decided and lettering organised Charlie

Hi Paul with the nice weather this week I am surprised that she has been on the berth when I get to work Charlie

Nice one Adam she looks a treat 34 knots is no mean speed, the mid channel fish are now in easy reach when the right weather comes along Charlie

Nice boat Paul She looks very good on her berth in the Haven I will have a closer look when you have time to show me around and if you fancy an evening trip when the clocks change give me a call Charlie

We have a compressor and attachment at work Adam If you are in this area pop it in, or if you launch at Baitor during the week come into the Haven Charlie

Says a man that no other Member could catch on the M5 to Burnham on Sea charlie

Hell of an advert for the seakeeping of these boats, great weather for sea trials. We tried an offshore in a force 8 at Padstow before deciding to build one. Not fishing weather but sometimes working boats have to take it. respect for the crews. Charlie

Hi Adam There are many clever options Two points to remember 1 Martin is right that a through transom pick up would not work underway as it would be dry at speed, pump would burn out and/or bait dies 2. any skin fitting underwater should be metal and be fitted with a shut off valve in case a pipe goes Have you any acces to the inside of the main hull, if so that may be where to fit the skinfitting. Charlie

It must have been the fumes getting to me Duncan I managed to get BASS to back date one trophy so I thought I would forward date the write up. We just need to make it correct now, no Pressure. Glad you like the changes Charlie

Looking great mate Hope the first trip goes well. Charlie

Hi While I would not like to disagree with Rich who certainly knows his rigs and catches a lot of various species on them. You may wish to remember that Club comps are fished with a maximum of 2 hooks on one or two rods. If you are preparing traces then a selection of one or two hook rigs would be usefull. IMHO keeping it simple works fine Charlie

Nice one Paul Some of those definatly hurt

This ring any bells?

Thanks guys Sam has written back to John who he worked for last year Aparently the post did not arrive, I believe a moped will be delivering a copy straight after tea Charlie

hi all is anybody working any were or know of anyone who is employing part time staff at the moment only really want a couple of hours a week just to get a bit of income maybe just a saturday or something be grateful if anybody has any info sam

Good New all around Adam You will certainly be getting about a bit quick then. No guessing who will be first to the RIPs then Hope the catalyst was OK Charlie
