great white

Thanks Kev I bet you missed Jacob today, they keep you going dont't they. We had a few eels today including 1 specimen and never needed more than 1lb of lead, so we had a good trip enjoying the nice weather. I bet it was lovely in holes bay in the sunshine. Come on boys , how did you get on?

Should not need your ear plugs Jim Jacob is not going, enjoy the peace Kev Tight lines all

Its a small Island so I expect that they have to balance the needs of many against what would just suit just the visitors I have been visiting the Island for 26 years and the main problem may be the laid back nature of the islanders. They could do better with the facilities that are already there but seem content not too. Try getting something to eat in a pub after 2000. I hear thet the Braye chippy has shut, I believe that they have tried to close the doors against visiting angling boats, without taking into account the revenue to the Island from these regular visitors. Marks shop on the quay has gone, and we used to spend a fortune there LOL Apart from the obvious berthing benifits and bathing facilities perhaps there would be a deeper water fuel and water facility. Although a small Marina like this may well fill up quickly it should have fringe benifits One to keep an eye on Charlie

Well done Tony Brian and Stuie And of course the Club for supporting this charity

Hi all Is anyone else looking at the weather, in the hope of another January trip ? We are keeping an eye on it in the hope that it stays fishable. Charlie

Hi Paul Hope that you are well mate. You would be made very welcome, if you wish to join the trip, Peter and Matt on Freeboys come over from Portland, l am sure they would welcome a buddy boat for a bit more of the crossings than usual. Charlie

Welcome back Dan See you on the water

Not really Martin, the boss wants me to decorate the study so no pc at the moment, have to work outbto do things on my tablet instead. Now how do I resize pictures from my phone, and take screenshots from my plotter??

Its not updated that often mate, last time I looked it still had alfresco in my Front garden, we launched her in Nov 2007.

We were out there from 0900 to 1700 The weather improved as the day went on, to end up almost calm for the run home after a nice sunset. A very busy day, lots of dogs quite a few whiting and two specimens, detailed report to follow when I have had a few hours rest. Charlie

Just goes to show how accurate these things are drawn I have the same picture on navionics mobile on this tablet

Blow me it worked, if you reduce the pictures first. Charlie

Works a treat on my Kindle too Brian. Thanks a bunch young fella.orks a treat on my Kindle too Brian. Thanks a bunch young fella. Works here too Well done Brian Now how do I add photo's from the galery into a thread. I was trying to suggest a couple of pictures for the membership card vote "Fishing with friends."

Probably why the younger Members have not tried to give me the answer, they know how hard it is to re train an old dog like me

What a Happy lot we are

We will keep ane eye out for the rhubarb and Custard skipper Al

Thanks Tony We will pencil in the new date

Ibrufen will have to take on that roll Stuie

Was thinking of going with Will , but both have sore backs so may need crew to pull the anchor line. Give me a call

Hi guys Does anyone know how to copy and paste on the forum using a samsung tablet. For text and how to do the same for pictures from the gallery Thanks Charlie

Belated Happy Birthday Gordon Hope that you are all well buddy

Thanks Neal, an interesting read I remember a few years back a lot of discussion about specimen sizes, especially that congers over 100% being easy to get Maybe the same could now be said for flounders, but I know what I would rather fish for. Well done to all of the Members that got in the top three. Lets hope that the wind drops soon and we can get afloat Charlie

Hi Mick Do not put anything wet into a pot of boiling lead mate, it will cause a steam bubble that is very likely to blow back molten lead. I saw the results of this once, it was not pretty. According to the angler with the burnt face, The cheap leads were not worth the pain. I keep my bits of lead in an old sack in the garage to make sure they stay dry/dry out fully before I use them Charlie

Glad that you have the gear sorted Mick Just remember to wear the safety kit and ensure all of the lead is dry, as you do not want it spitting in the pan. Charlie

Happy birthday Kev Have a good one stay off the roofs in this wind mate Charlie
