we carry all the usual gadgets
T bars, long t bars for things with teeth, and Gemini ones for smaller species.
while they are fine for a lot of catch and release,
I also have one, that is like a big version on a fresh water anglers disgorger. it is made of flat stainless instead of bent bar and has a notch in the end so that a hook can be pushed down into the fishes throat, before being extracted.
Anything more awkward than that and we cut the line as close as possible to the hook.

I am afraid Twizzler sticks are fine for retained fish, but not if they are going back.
even with thin small hooks the fish would be damaged.
A few well stocked and protected areas may well be one of the best ways to protect a small piece of our fish stocks.
I have not looked into this too closely, but agree that RSA's are being short sighted if they stand against this just on principle.

Good memories mate

the wrecks are loaded,

Hi Dave and welcome
If you want to get to know more Members at a social evening
The Clubs Dinner Dance and Prize giving is on the 13th April at Parkstone Yacht Club
The menu and list of those attending is on the forum.
It is not a formal affair, and is usually a great night
If you fancy coming just add yourself and any guest to the list.

Hi Allan
you do not need to take the set home for any inputing/saving of info, just the SD card.
That said it is sensible to take time when considering where you put these things and what size to buy,
you need to get a good view of them while still being able to adjust and operate them when under way.
[Oh and of course you need to see past them to where you are going.]
I would far rather be able to adjust settings than just have everything running in auto mode
Sounds better, with the offer of a re pitching option at least you get a bit of room for error.
The trials should be done with the boat loaded to normal, tanks full and some no of persons onboard. If you need an extra man for a sea trial Sam or I may be available
The prop suppliers really should know the differance needed to get what you want from the prop change,
I always thought that it is the initial prop choice of a bespoke boat that was difficult.

Hard luck mate
Like James I was looking outside after the fog cleared thinking lucky buggers
Every day should be a fishing day, but not all are catching days
