I'd like to introduce myself to the club. My name is Vince and my boat is Vee Gee, therefore "Vince Vee Gee", I enjoyed meeting some of you at the May 3rd. My boat is a Linder Arkip, which is a 15' aluminium speedboat set up for fishing, with a 40hp Yamaha outboard. It is moored on the Thames, but I would like to bring down to Poole and get some fishing done with it, preferably, but not exclusively, with some lures. I would be very grateful if anybody would let me come with them, on their boat, so I might start to learn the right way to do things!! Eventually I'd like to be able to bring my boat down on its trailer and perhaps meet up with other boats, to catch some fish, and learn where the best and safest marks might be! Any tips or information on the best places to launch the boat, and leave the car and trailer would be gratefully received Are there any saltwater lure fans who would be prepared to share some of their expertise and point me in the right direction? Thanks , in advance, for your assistance Vince

Hi all. I went to see Brian who was most helpful explaining what the club was all about. I am really looking forward to meeting some of you at the next meeting and buddying up going out on our boats. hopefully I will get a few tips from you all.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I joined the club last night and was bullied by the committee into handing over an extra £5 for family membership, I hope this intimidation will ease off. We have a Dejon 14 with a Mariner 20 HP that is used within the harbour and 2 adults can fish comfortably from Pug, I don't see her going out the harbour unless there is a very calm day. I have been fishing for many years but took a 20 year gap due to PMT, however, a change of spouse and end of rugby days allowed me to start again about 9 years ago. I am keen to keep learning the art of sea fishing and would like to crew on boats when members have space. Regards Ian

Hi Can anyone help me . Ive paid my membership and just joined the club but the website wont allow me into the chat bit . Do I have to do anything with my computer to get in . Im better with a fishing rod than a computer and i dont catch many fish so any help much appreciated. Thanks Chris

Afternoon All, Just joined and thought it would be good to introduce myself. I'm David Butcher, some of the members might remember me from the meeting I spoke at briefly, with PC Tristan Oliver. I'm a member at North Haven YC, not a good fisherman but do enjoy the sport. I chair Poole Harbour Watch and as much as anything wanted to get to know fellow boat anglers. All too often it is our type of boat that gets targeted by the thieves, spare parts, equipment, electronics etc. All ready this year one poor guy has had his just launched open 18ft. fishing boat and engine stolen. It was taken from a mooring by the lifting bridge. Please make sure you boat/engine etc is marked up. SelectaDNA, Smartwater, Datatag, whatever. I have found a cheaper supply for SelectaDNA and Mark, who runs Frome Boat Watch is the man to contact. To get the price (£20 per kit) he has to have an order of 8 kits. I've been suggesting that folk email him direct, it may mean p&p extra if he has to post out individually but still a good price. fromeboatwatch@gmail.com Poole Harbour Watch now has a web site, pooleharbourwatch.co.uk and you can contact me from there but my own email address is dgbutcher@ntlworld.com . Contact me if I can be of help but also if you hear of anything, please let me know. I will also pass information I get that Tristan wants circulating. We did actually recover a RIB and some other items in this way last year. I'll try to get to some of the club's meetings so that I can get to know you better. David
