are you living in cowes ? i am in northwood, i havnt tried the solent yet. as soon as the weather calms down i will get in touch on here and will meet up somewhere. jim

sorry mate to busy working on the farm at the moment may be able to meet up one evening as soon as the weather settles down where do you usualy fish. jim

of course i remember you it mus of only been a few years ago that i saw you in cowes. what kayak do you have, i heard that there was someone fishing on a kayak in ventnor is it you by any chance. nice to see that you are still fishing. jim

yep thats me what is your second name then martin.

i am amazed that i havent seen you around, i also have a transporter, great vans i think that a meet would be a good idea, it looks like there could be four or five of us around. also to get in touch you will find me at the farmers market in ryde on a saturday morning, trading as "mews veg" although it will be easyer when we can use the pm, i am not to happy to put a phone number on a forum. jim

hi i wont be able to get out until next weekend now. got out last night for an hour and a half until dark and had around 20 bass and 2 makeral. i wish i bought the kayak years ago.

hi i still cant use the pm at the moment but it would be good to meet up in a few weeks time , i am a bit busy at the moment, i did get another 2 bass yesterday at brook and lost one around 7 pound the day before. maybe we could meet up one evening. [admin note: PM will be available after your 15th post] jim

I have just got one, my first kayak, it seems very stable the large hatch is a little hard to get to as your legs get in the way. i am a bit heavyer than you and had no problems. i tried it at my local beach on the isle of wight today 1 to 2 feet of swell but no problems. jim
