What is the day time fishing like 4m tide in the morning might give it a go, but havnt got any live bait.

Dan Dont forget to put the bungs back in again, and give me a call when you are going out maybe we could meet up on the great blue yonder?, you could show me some of the good fishing spots. Do you know of a good fish finder and GPS combined that you dont have to take out a loan for.

Well Ziggy at least the picture makes a good avatar, mouth allmighty

Nice one Ziggy was there any need to tell all the net

Hi everyone I have lost my avatar too? this is posh isnt it

Dan. I know how you feel been trying to get the boat out for the last month at the weekend but it has been too rough or no one to give a hand, seriously thinking of selling the boat, what's the point in ahving one if you cant get it out? At least the beach fishing has livened up a bit went out with Zig and caught my first Bull Huss, along with 2 dog fish whiting and poor cod none to eat but good fun.

I passed my test in a buss just like that one back in the 70's had an argument with the guy that was doing the test about the type of clutch i told him it waS AIR OVER OIL didnt believe me at first then he had a look I was right< if I had been wrong I think I would have failed. Oh buy the way everyone Ziggy was a train spotter too

I like cats usually but when you cut your front lawn and next doors cat has sh-- on it and it splatters your mower, it puts you off them a bit. The dog usally keeps it off the back garden, are there gadgets about to keep cats away and do they work?

Never caught a Cod yet, hope I do this season of the Chesil. Any tips on how to catch them?

The older I get the harder i GET and no problems

First time Iv'e had a laugh for a while nice one u 2

I can understand the importance of match fishing and good luck to all who do it, only take what you want to eat I say?

One, Large baloon Where does thought come from?

Ziggy I thought you went home sick? of course photo's cant have babies rabbits do. demon

At home North East, although I have lived in South West for the last 20 yrs, we called then what ever came to mind, better than swearing.

Thirty mins past infinity What about black holes

I hope so people r happy over there. Who was in Mary Poppins

Is Severus right? Here we are another weekend can't get the boat out due to the weather very frustrating. :confused:

Still wont be out this weekend family things to do plus all those holiday people around, next weekend I hope.

Tried West Bexington this afternoon good Bass weather but no Bass or anything else now the weather has turned really rough will tomorrow be better?

Fitted a new throttle cable today so I'm ready to try a launch again. Looking at the weather it wont be this weekend. WILL BE TRYING LYME NEXT TIME, may be easier with a little help. Will keep you all updated after getting out there on the deep blue sea.

Ziggy got wet? We set off to west Bay around 11am, but befor that when I went off to attach the main motor to the boat, Its stored on a farm, the gate to where the boat is parked was blocked by an old sherpa type van. The Lady of the house came out and said I told him he needed to shift the van you would need to get through he's not at home. On her saying this her husband comes out of the their abode and states in a loud angry voice I'm not at home then so who's wellies are these. Jeff then proceeded to explain why the van is parked in the gateway to get to the point, flat battery and a gallon of rough cider the night before, and you could smell it. He jumps in the van and I push him a good 100yds down a track to one side, so the story begins. Arriving at west bay, and to inform you all Ziggy and I have very little experience in launching boats, I paid the launching fee Ziggy spotted a guy who has experience in launching a calls him over, he replies this will be a good learning experience. I looked at the slipway and thought oh sh--. Reversed down the slipway into the water boat started to float in the water loosened the winch,Ziggy holding rope tied to front of boat,we got the boat off the trailer I attempt to get to the floating jetty and get hold of the rope to tie if off, when I get there the boat is laid sideways on the slipway and Ziggy is looking very worried, now the crowd is forming. Harbour Master comes down to give a hand and says are you trying to do this yourselves Ziggy and I look at each other. Boat is on the water with me in it, Crowd is getting bigger. Stert the motor put it in reverse put put, I look at the throttle cable it has a split in it that I had not noticed so I push the throttle by hand bearing in mind steering and controls are at the front brooom the engine goes I step back to the controls and put it into neutral. I eventually get to the side Ziggy jumps in and we tie off to the jetty and decide to put the boat back onto the trailer. To cut a very long story short, Crowd is very big by now, after trying to get the boat onto the traler sideways we got it out of the water me wet from the chest down and Ziggy nearly as bad. At the top of the slipway Ziggy took out the drain plugs and the whole of west bay was flooded. We took the boat back to the farm and went shore fishing lots of fish caught. Still positive on getting the boat out when I get a new throttle cable.........

Thanks to you all for your advice does'nt look like I will be out this weekend weather a bit s--te at the moment.
