Hi all For those you know Colin, the skipper of Flamer3 based in Weymouth, he was suddenly taken to hospital on Thursday. I was due to go out with him on the following day but of course all trips have been cancelled for December. I am sure we all wish him a speedy recovery and he will soon be back to work. Coddy

Thank you Elton and Anglers Net for the prize I won in last months comp. Wonderful suprise and just recieved them in the post, even better than expected. Thanks again Coddy

Don't know about North of Watford but suggest Poole/Bournemouth. Good fishing in the harbour/beach and plenty of shops for FPO. Dave

Try using a Mepps No 2 spinner with the blade in Gold or silver with red spots, add a little bit of ragworm, about 2" on the hook and cast away. It works for me for thin lipped mullet. Dave
