great white

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

Hi Peter Glad to see you on the list mate I think all of AA accomadation will be needed by Mine and Daves crews, but that is subject to who finishes up coming with me. Charlie

Thanks guys Martin can you pin this thread please

Very best of luck with all of your plans for 2014. I spoke with Mark Harding earlier, he is about to start training for his trip across the Channel Looking forward to all of your updates. Charlie

Well as I am at home with a bad back, the festivities season is over and a New Year has begun. It seems to be the right time to open the 2014 tide book and have a look at dates for our annual trip to visit the lovely Island of Alderney. Tides seem to indicate that the first weekend in May is not ideal, even though using the bank holiday may have appealed to some. Weekend 9, 10, 11, 12 look to be a very interesting, small tides. Weekend 16, 17, 18 again the spring tides, may not make that an ideal choice Weekend 23, 24, 25, 26 the tides are again about right, it incorperates a bank holiday Monday, which may give me a problem at work, but in the overall picture would probably be a good fallback date. As we all know this trip is definately weather dependant, those of us who made the trip in 2011 would remember that we were a little too keen. While the trip was safe enough, fishing was limited by the weather. The 2013 trip was delayed, less boats made the rearranged dates than originally intended to go. But the better weather enhanced the enjoyment for those of us that could go. I therefore propose that we look at going over on the weekend of 9, 10, 11, 12 May 2014. At this very early stage I have no idea about how many boats are thinking of going this year, or even my crew availability, accomadation etc I have just called Mark and booked all 6 beds at Alderney Angling for three nights from the 9th, who knows I may even stay ashore myself this year, I must be getting older LOL. But lets start the ball rolling and see where we go from here. 2nd Weekend in May 1. Alfresco, Charlie plus crew tbc

Perhaps he was working with logic from being in touch with his female side. IE Do a crap job the first time, so that you are not allowed to ever do it again. Worked for Wendy and painting radiators, LOL

Brilliant post Dave thanks for the reminders Charlie

Now added it to my tablet It looks terrific but while the cursor shows wher I am how do I get a lat long to show. Quite a lot of things on there are very basic compared to Navionics on my PC in the office and Navionics gold on my plotter. Terry how do you enter your waypoints mate? I have to go to the London boat show next week so no doubt I will quiz the Navionics experts when I am there. I will also ask them if now that I have purchased it for my tablet can I load it to my phone. (Both samsung S3) Still its something to play with in this weather HAPPY NEW YEAR Charlie

A pause button would be nice occasionally, or perhaps just a mute, lol

I can not see you fishing if it does clash mate, some balls are hard to replace

Happy Birthday guys I hope that you have a great day Wendy's Birthday as well today, so we will haver a house full later when we both get home from work. Charlie

Thanks Martin

Hi Nige You know my thoughts on this mate from texts and facebook, and the offer of help from the boys and I is open ended. I take my hat off to you for going out with Dave yesterday and taking your feelings out on the dogfish away from Sandy and your family. Pretty sure that expecting an electrical item to work after a salvage is a bit wishful, I would not blame the pump mate. Call you later Charlie

Thanks for the report Adam Not sure any of us will be fishing on our boats again this year mate, is it inappropriate to mention a certain little Island before the year ends? Charlie

Happy birthday George Hope that you have a great two day's

Looking at the forecast, it looks like you have all decided right

The pontoons are well sheltered Allan, and no less secure than the rest of the yard. I know what I would do, to keep my options open Charlie
