great white

Thanks Chris You are a good man, always willing to help If the problems awaiting parts drags a bit I could well take you up on that kind offer. With one broken boat, I think that I would rather let you be the skipper. Mind you a few hours checking your plotters sounds good LOL

Well done to all of tha juniors Great start to the comp and well done Rueben Lets hope that we have a boat for the next round

Looks like the Blonde girl is choking, see is very lucky that her friend is able to use the Heimlich Manoeuvre to save her life. Or there would be a queue of fisherman trying to give her CPR

Well done Dave

We are in fact very lucky to get these When I lived around Portsmouth we did not see many I moved to this area 25 years ago started catching them quite often, and back then they did not have a specimen size listed with the NFSA after we started reporting them they were given a specimen size of 14lb. Lots of us now seem to beat that size fairly easily Have I told you about the one......................................... Lol [Just for you Rob]

If you wanted to try it afloat I believe that MDL Cobbs Quay are offering a two month pontoon deal Not sure of the price , but it may be worth a try

Is it OK to pay at the next meeting, as Wendy does the online banking and is away

We all had a restless night on Friday, Awoke to grumbles of thunder and lots of sparks in the air but as it got light they all seemed to head off west 0530 three boats talk to each other as we leave harbour more details to follow

No Flatfish for us yesterday Sam, Steve and I on Alfresco. We had entered in case we ended up going west and would have been on the shambles

Oli You will not be the only one getting twitchy if its all sparky we may passage with the rods on deck and electronics stowed in the oven [gas off] you can usually see the storms on Radar and decide whether to let them pass or even drive around them

Happy Birthday buddy I trust that alcohol may be involved Have a shite fishing trip at the weekend, LOL

Thanks all I think that we are still going to give it a go, with changing our minds as an ever present back up Three boats to give safety back up as usual Very unusual weather though, hope it blows through as we passage, not going to be fishing or anchoring in the sparks Bloody weather, even in a heat wave it turns to shite.

What are the thoughts about the lightening?

probably why I do not get visits from my family any more

I will take that off your hands Steve Having just spent several evenings repairing leaks in an old one, I can now toss it in the bin Speak again soon

Thanks Ian that sort of puts our fishing in perspective, wish we could get the men in grey suits as often as they do in NZ but if we had them eating our table fish I expect we would soon be cursing them. You have some better fish to target than sharks, but here the sharks are the apex preditor

Thanks Mike what time are the sparks forecasted

After reading your reports I was half tempted to buy this Its an inflatable kayak that pete trew has for sale at quay west chandlers Would get it for £80 B-square inshore 2.7

Nice little boat I fished a few evenings on one of these in Plymouth, the owner took it to the eddistone on days when the weather was very good.

Things like this just fuel up the anti angling lobby

Have to look that up for the kindle

Looking good mate
