STATEMENT FROM THE ANGLING TRUST ON THE NATIONAL LOCKDOWN RULES IN ENGLAND The regulations have now been published and confirm this evening’s message from the Cabinet Office that the Government have taken the decision that fishing will not be permitted during this national lockdown period. Whilst this is disappointing news I would ask anglers, fisheries and clubs to respect these rules and the reason they have been put in place; to help save lives and support the NHS. Individuals should not go fishing from midnight tonight (5th Jan) and clubs and fisheries should close their waters to anglers. We will be publishing more detailed guidance on specific areas like bailiffing and fishery maintenance once the Government regulations have been examined. Over past few weeks we have been in communication with the Government at the highest possible level. We have presented a strong case on how fishing could continue safely during the third national lockdown. We have explained that fishing benefits physical health and mental wellbeing and that it is regularly the only form of activity individuals undertake. You can read our representations to Cabinet Ministers here - https://anglingtrust.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Angling-and-outdoor-recreation-in-COVID-lockdown-3_DCMS.pdf My team and I have consistently presented the arguments ahead of the changing government guidelines, which have allowed fishing to remain permitted continuously since the first national lockdown was lifted in May. We have been successful when other sports have not as all anglers will know. However, with 60,000 new infections announced today the Government have taken the decision that leaving home for recreation or leisure, including all forms of recreational fishing, should be prohibited in England during this third national lockdown period. I thank you for your support and for being a credit to our sport. As members, you can rest assured that the Angling Trust will continue to represent our sport at the highest level and will present proposals for the resumption of angling when it is safe and sensible to do so. We will come through this period of national crisis. We will fish again, but until then, please, stay safe. Jamie Cook - CEO Angling Trust

Mike Hall and Coddy on Fisheagle

I think hooky has some diagnostics for e tecs he had similar but not the same check all the connector blocks in the wiring loom as his was a dirty connector

Lot of work to be done first Mr hook but it will be done 😊

Hi all I'm on the lookout for two 25 or 30 litre plastic outboard fuel cans cheers Mike

A big thank you to our Mr Hook for the loan of his trailer and help in picking my boat up 🙂

Cheers hooky will do mate

No there was another company in bournemouth road . I know am brow stopped as I have used him in the past and often get bits from him

Hi all I'm after a trailer to move a Wilson flyer 20 next week sometime might consider buying if at the right price . Local trailer hire place won't name them still have boat trailer hire on their website but when I called them he said oh no we just transport boats now ! We don't hire trailers anymore and you won't find any one across the south who does! So now I'm in the proverbial poo as I bought the boat on the assumption and (their website )that I could hire a trailer to move it . Any other ideas chaps ? Mike Hall

Hi all Has any of you nice people have any of the boats in the title good friend and fishing buddy of mine just sold his little sea swift and looking around to upgrade looking at warrior 165 or predator equivalent was wondering if any of you nice fellows have one we can see in the flesh and maybe chat over your likes / dislikes of the boat what to look out for etc Many thanks Mike

Hi Charlie many thanks for the invite would love to come and have a look and a chat is always good too the more boating info gained the better never stop learning will call soon

Hi Neal yes I am aware of it being a displacement hull and not going to be a fast boat i have bought some books on working out what hp engine to use but at the moment the maths involved is going to take a while to sink in fuel economy is what is important for me to get maximum use from a boat if i have to find £ 50 to £100 pounds a time to go out any distance it's not going to get much use (Ialso own a shetland with a rather thirsty merc 75 on which is costly to run ) 2 things i put on the paper when looking to buy something more deck space ie for more people and fuel economy oh and one thing not on the paper fell in love with the boats shape too! .I know she will be a plodder but not sure if the day came when needed to punch tide back through the ferry the little sabb would be up to it although this little motor is virtually indestructable and will go on all day on very little fuel.not looking for speed just enough grunt to get home if conditions change like they tend to do every now and then if when finished i find she doesent do everything i would like her too i consider it like a piggy bank and although will never recoup cost of labour she will only increase in value so when sold will have a little more cash to buy something a little better time will tell

the first pic shows boat as I purchased it second shows the new cabin/wheelhouse moulding sat on the boat (i built a mould first then layed it up ) third is a view of inside when stripped out still a lot of work to do and a long way to go but should be a lovely boat when finished if enough interest i will add more photos of the build as i go

Hi all Earlier this year I purchased a new project (someone hit me with a big stick ) I bought the boat towed it back from devon and set about working on it and as usual found more rot than i needed to find so eventually i ended up with just a bare hull she is 21 ft long with a beam of 7 foot approx sizes and made from grp (except all the topsides which were in ply and hardwood . Any way I am trying to track down the maker of the hull (No Name plate) so far i have narrowed it down to possibly being the hull very much like a parkstone bay which were i believe built by F C Mitchell at the then named Mitchells boat yard in Poole any one out there with any info on these boats Photos Publications sales mags etc hiding in the loft ? One of the things i'm trying to determine is size of inboard to use it has at present a sabb 10 hp single cylinder diesel whis although i love the sound of am thinking is not really going to have enough steam for my intended use out in the bay and around to swanage etc.I have already made a new grp cabin/wheelhouse and rear deck and am in the process of making moulds to form new gunnels still lots to be done (looking back it would have been easier to bought a new hull moulding gone from there )!! a few pics added for you to see of work so far All your thoughts and comments welcome
