Happy Birthday Jacob I expect that Kev has emptied Veals Mail order for you. Look forward to seeing you on Grandad's boat soon. Charlie and Wendy

Sorry after a weekend with no work done on the boat she will still be chocked up ashore.

Hope to see you guys out there. Will be onboard with Dave

Bon Soiree Mon Ami Happy Birthday Buddy, hope that you are enjoying a few French Cidres. Lol Charlie

Hoping to go 5th to 8th May dependant on weather and crew availability on those dates. Thanks for the kind comments about the skipper guys, starting to look forward to it already.

i wonder how long that had been afloat

Hi all My brother is looking into fitting something to his camper van to enhance weak WIFI reception on certain campsites Has anyone got any knowledge or experience of these and could offer any advice on types and costs and of course how good are these things? Charlie

We use those draw type scrapers at work Excellent for small areas I used one to do the whole of Great White , wouldn't do it again

You just need bigger hands Neil

1. Tigerfish - Steve + Terry + Graham 2. Reel Magic - Dave + 3. Joint Venture - Adam + Ian + Alun + Rob (i have taken the liberty to add the usual A-Team) 4. Madness - Martin - Dean - Tony 5. Sweet Chariot - Oli + Nick + 6. Kingfisher - Chris (looking at 5th - 8th May due to commitments) 7. Alfresco - Charlie. I will check if the boys want to come if not will be looking for crew. looks like most of the usual boats are keen to go again.

no tell tale flow can be as simple as dried salt in the tell tale connector, lift the cover off and disconnect the pipe inside or simply poke a bit of wire in from outside when the engines running and connected to a hose or afloat.. Happens all the time here at work.

Hi Hooky I had a 17ft Wilson Flyer that was very heavy built as a one off. It performed badly with a cheap 45HP on the back so I fitted a new 60HP Yamaha. Wow what a difference, great after that. Are you sure that the Yamaha has a terminal problem, does it look cooked by overheating? Or is the the water flow a minor thing.

Nice on Stuie Sounds like a great trip in nice weather.

Not a bad shout Rob Has worked for me in the past fishing downtide of the spoil grounds

Hi again Oli Is it possible to get the pictures from the various threads and photo competition to also copy to the Home page. At times the pictures on there seem to be a bit old

Thanks Oli I have attached the picture again as an edit, not sure it shows the likes it had though

Hi Oli Just had a quick look at recent items. December fish of the month pictures now seems to only show Dave's latest picture of his huge Bass

Now updated my Password, thanks to Oli I can now log in

Well done Oli :D   When we lost the site for a while recently it became obvious how much we do use it to stay in touch with friends and keep an eye on recent fishing activities.   I am sure Brian also appreciates the cost savings too. :D

Away this weekend and Sam is busy so I afraid Alfresco is not able to take part.

Happy Birthday Mike

Cannot answer that one Rob   But powerboat courses tend to be about safe passages and handling the boat. anchoring tends to be done in the shallows, if practised at all and not just discussed in Theory.   They are not too bothered with teaching how to accurately anchor and recover the anchor in front of structure and wrecks.
