I was coming down from deepest Oxfordshire on Saturday but Pete, my crew, got roped in for Xmas shopping with her who must be obeyed. Looks like I missed a special day. Well done Alun!

Can I just thank those people who replied to mine regarding launching at Christchurch. We came down today and had a cracking day. First tried the deep water between the Ledge and Dolphin Bank but were inundated with doggies wherever we went. Eventually landed up at Southbourne rough where a guy in a small open boat invited us to join his whiting bonanza. Had a great 3 hours before running the gauntlet of the return journey near low water. Several fish suppers in the freezer and, as Arnie said, 'I'll be back'.

Thanx a lot for both those replies, v.useful indeed. I would be very grateful for any help and even accompanying someone would be great. Weekends are best for me and I will be down this weekend (27/28-11) on one day depending on the weather. I have a Microplus 501 fisher with a 50hp Mariner, launching with a Landrover Discovery. If poss, I will keep in contact.

I am a newly joined member of PBSBAC and would appreciate help regarding launching at Christchurch or Mudeford. I used to moor a larger boat in Holes bay about 20 years ago but now have a trailed craft. I want to fish Cristchurch Ledge and feel launching nearby would be an advantage. Any help gratefully received.
