What's so bad about puree though Jon? I'd have thought it would be desirable to have, in effect, liquid bait fish.

Isn't that the truth! Well done for getting out nonetheless 👍

The fish must love you then! 🤘

Well, you know what braided conduit looks like, you don't need to see a pic 😅

🤣🤣 Quite right too, although I am fond of a bit of Dolly P every now and again 🤭.

I'm with you on Metallica, but there my metal education ends, except perhaps a bit of Iron Maiden. I suspect however that @headlight will be keen to join in now given your post... 👍

I have a Lowrance SonicHub Gen 1 (by Fusion), with FM radio via a VHF/FM splitter. Stored music is from a 7GB USB drive plugged into the SonicHub head unit. What do you have?

@GPSguru recently shared some details of his boat sound system, which got me thinking. What systems do the rest of the Outlaws have? Or maybe you prefer not to have music whilst fishing? Tell us about your preferences here.

Lol, the age of big hair! If we're doing that then how about some of the masters of BIG HAIR!

Interesting post Jon 👍. You mention smashing up old frames, and I've done the same here in the UK, but I'm wondering why no-one purees the frames/bait fish in a blender. Not only is smashing bait up hard work but it takes an age to do properly. If the aim is to release all the oils and fine particles into a scent trail then I'm thinking of investing in a cheap food processor/blender and blitzing my bait fish then freezing them into blocks with bran. Can anyone tell me why this wouldn't work?

Ha! Do we presume you're a Billy Blanker then?!?! Justice is served if so 🤣🤣👍

Sounds really quite scary! Does anyone get seriously hurt? Must do some damage if you get hit on the head with one?!

The new stickers have arrived! Geoff wants four. Who else would like a sticker? £3 each and £1.50 P&P.

Got a few more jobs done on the boat today. I had to replace the bolts on one of the rollers on the bow roller as the previous owner had been using two undersized bolts that didn't engage with the thread in the roller and were too long, so they bent. How they managed to stay in place I will never know. Correct new bolts going in with a smear of thread lock to stop them unwinding with the roller action. Also sorted out the port wiper which wasn't pantographing (if that's even a word) properly. It was operating like a regular car wiper instead of keeping the blade vertical throughout the sweep of the arm. Turned out it was a seized pivot joint and a loose nut on the end of the spigot. A healthy dose of lube and a tweak with a spanner and it now works as it should. I spent an hour tidying up the wiring under the helm and putting the cable runs into braided cable wrap. I also installed two more rod holders on the splash well top. Needn't have bothered though as I doubt we'll be fishing any time soon now 🤣 Finally, I indulged my inner fanboy and stuck a Lowrance vinyl on the inside of the wheelhouse door. #mustgetoutmore

Ha! Quite right! My bad. Will remove.

You'll get no sympathy from me Geoff until you come into the 21st Century and upgrade that browser and OS of yours 🤣👍

Looks like it. IMO we should have done it back in September and nipped the rising cases in the bud. Ah well, we can all swap lockdown purchase stories soon then 😉

Good point GPS. For screenshots on Lowrance it's press and hold the Power and Pages button simultaneously.

Friday night bump. 😉

Thanks but... no thanks 😉🤣👍

Now you're just rubbing our noses in it Spence 🤣👍

Sorry to hear the house has fallen through. Very annoying! 😤

Holiday? I've never been to Harwich. Not sure I want to after reading your posts 🤣

What are we all up to on the weekend? Fishy's painting his toenails I believe and Jon's got a date with the Colonel. Anyone got anything good lined up?

Chicken wire and yesterday's paper?
