great white

Look forward to seeing them in use on the Junior Comp mate

I would think that these would make excellent rods for juniors to start with Charlie.

Took two to carry my existing [and smaller] after the Cherbourg trip, but would have liked to have taken more Ice as for the second year running we went in hot weather and most of it melted. When I try it in my Vehicle and a Marina Trolley, I will soon know if it will be too big.

Wow sounds like someone has pissed somebody off

Hi Chris Thanks, I will buy this cooler and collect from Oli. But if it is going to be too big for me to transport when its full mate, I will give you a bell and first refusal. Charlie

Hi Oli I will take that off your hands mate

Hi Remove the cover off of the engine and locate the gear change and throttle controls on the end of the two cables. the easiest check is to move the throttle lever and see what happens, the gear change should move first and when fully engaged the throttle control should start to move immediately after. a better check is to disconnect the cable linkages at the engine end and see if you have excess play in the throttle cable [which sounds like the case] if so you need a new cable the same length and type. Probably a "morse" cable, you may need to remove the old one to get exact length [if you do put a cord through as you extract the old one, so it can be used to pull the new one through], the type is usually shown by the sleeve colour Probably nothing to do with hitting the rock, but could have been done I suppose when investigating what had happened Hope that helps Charlie

Young black I would say

Good luck with the decision making

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
