great white

Thanks brian I feel much heathier now I will try my best to keep taking the medicine

Well done guys Sounds like a great monday

Weather permitting we are in but my crew would revolt [i mean revert to other things] if it goes harbour only

My brother another friend and I all owned dory, s with cabins After I removed the bulkhead from mine and made it into a cuddy, so did they. All three boats were transformed into much better fishing tools, we could duck into the cuddy out of the elements, but still see the rods

Nice one mate See you out there soon Look out fishes

Happy birthday Paul I hope that you had a great day Charlie

Thanks guys Would be good to see what others use Especially when attaching thin braid to much thicker nylon leaders We tend to find equal strengths do not work to well tight to the wrecks, we step up from 30lb braid to 60lb leader when congering Charlie

I have just been having a closer look at this sight and it gives some interesting data I used to use fireline, but it is a bit bulky and I heard that it tests very high, so I changed to a thinner braid (whiplash pro) From this site it looks like 30lb braid is about a third of the diameter of fire line and line tests show it breaking just over the stated line strength not about 50% over like the fireline. Glad that I changed, just need to be confident that I am using the best mono to braid knot. I believe that the one I use is the double grinner knot, but it could be a double uni knot. The grinner/grinner gets a good test result and I believe the uni/uni less so. I changed from a knotless knot a couple of years ago after it failed a couple of times, I started to suspect that I was not tying it well enough, when I needed to replace a leader while fishing. Confidence in tge knot had gone, so I changed. What knots do others use? And who knows the differance between a grinner/grinner and a uni/uni Charlie PS Rob I seem to remember that you ran some tests on knot strengths, what did they show regarding the various mono and braid joining knots??

Well done mate I bet that was a tireing trip 7 sleeping onboard is a bit of a squeeze, but it sounds like you enjoyed it

In my experiance it is best to ensure that the batteries can not move within the boxes. Mine are standing on non slip rubber matting, with rubber blocks stopping them sliding around in the box Charlie

Thanks for sharing your warning Allan Any idea why the battery split?

Not sure about whiting bait, but they make great conger baits so they must have a bit of scent. Nice to see you back on here Craig Must of been a fun trip with all you west country boys onboard. Charlie

Well done Neal Charlie
