noah

Let me know when your sure and i'll try to egg you on just a little

I bet you can't get a responce by by defra or bunnykiller on this subject. bk problebly doesn't give a monkey's about fish size,stocks or regulations.Thats if he knows anything about it. All that bk seems to worry about is his bank balance and greed, sod any body else who toes the line. go on have a go ziggy. recone you can get throwen off within an hour

'and we had 24 fish and sold them for just under £300 ...not bad for a days fun angling .... now where did i put my rod???' That realy pee's me off and to gloat about it as well :mad: :mad: Fish for pleasure not profit.

Fished it last friday, two nice undersize bass, both went back unharmed, but that was all.lots of people fishing there and they all blanked as far as i know

Yep i was over the 'cod pit' but what bass? Had a few go for the lure but no takes. As for the trailer problem, That was down to me, Didn't tighten the wheel nuts properly after regreasing the bearings. lost one nut and the other three came lose. Totaly messed the wheel and hub up, but did make it home,just.

No motorways involved thank god, and did have a spare. Still kicking myself for being so dumb.

Saw that there was a window of oppertunity in the weather for a spot of boat fishing today. Phoned a few people to see if they wanted a trip out fishing. In the end it was just me and my step farther. In the rush to meet the tide I neglected to do my checks properly.(After all the trailer lights were working).I have a 20 mile journey to the nearst slip, but after 17 miles there was a strange squeaking noise from the trailer. The problem was soon spotted after a quick pull in to the next layby. One wheel nut missing and the other three loose . Needless to say the the wheel was F%£$ed. Not to be dismayed,tightening of the wheel nuts and a very carful journey onwards saw us at the slip. The day was pretty uneventfull (apart from me forgetting the map for the chartplotter). We ended up in the estuary spinning for bass where I had many bass follow the lure right up to the boat but no hook ups. Still there's always another day. Basicaly at the end of the day, no matter how rushed you are you should always make time for your checks on the trailer. The journey home took over two hours. Maybe I was being over causious but with a dodgie wheel it was worth it.

I know the feeling when let down like that. It's realy frustrating. I booked a trip with Scooby doo 2 last feb and was let down at the last min by four of the six going. Spoke to the Skipper about the dilemer and he was very helpfull and let it go as a half day booking instead of a full 12 hrs.

:mad: if you posted 3 days ago i would have gone now i have to work :mad:

you have to catch em first

Looking around the net earler i came across this site http://animalrightsflorida.org/fishing.html so all you folks that catch fish to eat, stop it now!!!!! your hurting the poor little things. they have feeling too you know. Does that mean the preditory fish must stop eating the smaller fish as well.

Does any body have this program? is it worth getting to use in conjuntion with my computer and chartplotter? any ideas on how much it costs as have looked on the websites but none have the price? :confused:

It's not just us who have problems with gill nets www.cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk/news/news117.htm and it's got a happy ending.

Trailer brakes must work then

Searched the net and have found out that the wreck in question is futher away than show on the chartplotter and the charts. With new location in my posesion it's time to hit the high sea's and try again.once again, thanks for all the info again folks.

It did look like it could have been a charter boat but with out a pic I'm not sure.

Thanks for the info guys. Going out again next week, weather permitting, and try again to find it.

I don't know where it was going, Barnstaple/Bideford but was motoring up the estuary. When i next in the area i will have a look and see if i can get a pix.

How do you find them? looking at the charts and having the gps is fine. not being very experienced at placeing a boat over a wreck, what is in effect a needle in a hay stack with no reference points. The other day i motored out to a wreck only to find a sandy sea bed according to the fish finder. How/what is the best way to make sure that you are on the wreck.

Shame that, it looked a nice boat. just thought it was a long way from home thats all.

Tuggs Saw a boat from Scrabster today in the taw/torridge estuary, North Devon. I think the Name was mai jay

An army copper radio arial that should have been fixed on the landrover(loved to have seen thier faces when the radio didn't work). Only problem was couldn't stop the eyes falling off.

I asked some one else that question this aftrenoon, they didn't know ether
