I couldn't remember when I got there, so I tidied the fittings shelf up

I was told by someone ( I forget who lol) that as long as you know why you've gone to the van/kitchen, then it's not too much of an issue It's only a problem when you get to the van/kitchen and don't know why you're there Pretty sure I've done that as well Edit Andy, I think you may have problems

I was about to write the very same thing, word for word

Mine is absolute crap Can remember numbers no problem, friends landline numbers from years ago, all my bank card numbers, codes, quoted job prices etc But that's bout it I went down to the boat today to grab my rods, bring them home and get them set up ready for tomorrow So once the anchor is settled, I can simply hook on a weight, a baited trace and cast out Rather than spend 20 mins setting up whilst the other s are already in the water Anyway, my rods are already in the garage from the last trip, I'd brought them home to clean etc as we were heading into a lockdown and I didn't think to tell myself

I'm hearing reports that there's still a few coming out over Portishead/Clevedon area, off the beaches/rock marks Tide is a tad big for up there tomorrow, but going up anyway and will catch the last hour or 2 of the flood and as much of the ebb as we can, until the rip gets too strong Will then either go into Ladye bay, Clevedon side or come back down around Cardiff I don't really care too much about catching a boat full TBH, just need to get out

I use 2 that are (IIRC) 8mm

I don't usually need to be that accurate when we anchor, it's usually over a bank, bit of rough ground where pin point accuracy isn't required However, I have found a wreck in the Bristol Channel that isn't listed on any chart I've seen be it paper or electronic So when the next set of small tides roll in (a week this coming Saturday) I shall be paying it a visit I also have trips planned for tomorrow and this Saturday, it's been long enough now

I've yet to find one for my boat (around 3 IIRC) and cable ties do just fine for me

Another vote for CT-1, brilliant adhesive

I was told that the 270/280 and 290 were pretty much interchangeable I'm not 100% on that though, could just be the 280 and 290 There's an American site called Bayliner owners forum Forum - BAYLINER OWNERS CLUB Even though you have a Fairline, They will still help you I learned a lot on there, I re engined my old Bayliner 2359 from petrol to diesel with a lot their help, including changing outdrive from OMC to VP

I think I have a set of A 4 or 5 props as well Edit A series, not B

You should be able to just swap the lower units over, pretty sure that the SP and DP are interchangeable I've got a reverse lock mechanism in the garage somewhere off an early 90's 290 DP if you need one

Nice info, when are the best months on the Skerries Hoping to book a few trips this May and June

I'm probably going to get slated, but fuck staying local if the locks are open next week Will go out with a buddy boat to minimise the chance of calling the coastguard/RNLI out in the event of a breakdown etc Selfish I know, but, well I am

I knew it was you, and Kathleen is just a non de plume you use when moonlighting for wish

I've used luminous green/black out of Weymouth and orange/yellow on the Skerries Both on the skippers recommendation and green/black out fished orange/yellow in Weymouth and vice versa for Skerries I think the pea mussels that they feed on around Weymouth are better matched with the green/black combo, when the mussel beds vanished a few years ago the plaice fishing dropped off considerably There were various opinions on why they disappeared, but last time we were there, there was evidence of mussels on the sea bed again, so hope they make a comeback as it really is excellent sport

Jon C, do you work for wish.com customer services ? I've just had delivered 1000m of 4 strand 20lb braid with a diameter of .25mm I ordered 8 strand 20lb which had a dia of .20mm No matter what I typed, the customer service (yeah righto) person just kept repeating "your order is correct and the seller had fulfilled it" Fuck sake, frustration or what

I'm with Jon C on this "Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought dull, than to open it and remove all doubt"

I tried to read it a few times but just my eyes just glazed over both times I'll wait and let Jon C explain it in simple terms for me Him being the forum tech geek an all

I likey I'm going to use my 2 speed Fathom 15, or my 12 for the first couple of trips (if I ever get down to the south coast) Then decide if it's worth the extra outlay of a high end reel Bought a cheapo rod from tinternet and will do the same with that, if I get on with the style of fishing I will get a better outfit In reality, if I catch even one decent fish, I'll be straight on Terry's website buying next years Christmas present to myself I think I'm up to about Christmas 2028 at the minute

I had a job interview last night for a job as a Blacksmith The person interviewing me asked "Have you ever shoed a horse before" I replied "No but I once told a Donkey to Fuck off if that's any help"

It's strange isn't it ? You stand in the middle of the library and go "Aaaaaaaaargh!!" and everyone stares at you. But do it on a plane and everyone joins in.

Proof that woman do things just to start an argument. My misses rang me at work today and said "I've not had time to start tea,do you fancy going out for some". "yeah that sounds good" I replied. When I got home from the restaurant there she was sat at the kitchen table with a face like thunder.

I once tried to buy a house on an old Indian reservation, when I asked if it came with running water, he told me to fuck off and find my own wife
