  1. Lower the jockey wheel all the way down, so the stern of the boat is at it's highest Put some beer barrels/railway sleepers under the stern (near the edge where it's strongest), then wind jockey wheel up as far as it goes and put some timbers/supports under the bow sides, so trailer can be slid out You may also need a good trolley jack, depending on the trailer design I did this with a 23ft Bayliner that weighed around 2 ton
  2. Yep, Tuesday for me as well Tides are good for Clevedon area, so probably steam up there for the flood A mate is out on a charter Monday and going to Clevedon, so if it's shite I'll need a plan B
  3. Just had a look at a few youtube videos So is an expensive, specialist rod and reel a necessity Or will a spinning rod and fixed spool do the job Is this only done around slack water, or very small tides Surely anything less than 8-10oz would just kite out on a normal tide
  4. As a bit of a follow on from GPS Gurus reply in another thread I've heard a fair bit about slow jigging over wrecks Anyone care to enlighten me with regards to the difference between it and normal drifting Different tackle and lures ?

    Mr DIY

    A wife is tired of all the problems that need fixing in her houseShe asks her husband, "Can you please fix the leak in the bathroom? ", the husband says "Do i look like a plumber?"She asks him "Well can you please fix the light in the living room, its been flickering for ages?", he replies "Do i look like and electrician?" Growing tired she asks him "Can you at least mow the lawn?" again he replies "Do I look like a gardener?, now leave me alone I've got to go to work". When he comes back from work, the leak is fixed, the light has stopped flickering and the lawn has been cut perfectly, he turns to he wife, "How did you do all this?" "You know fat Terry down the road, i called him and asked him to do it for me" the husband grows angry and says, "how much have you wasted now?" "Nothing at all" she says "Terry said he would do it for a chocolate cake or a blowjob" The husband smiles, "He does like his cake old Terry", the wife replies "Do I look like a baker?"

  8. A Woman goes to buy a Parrot. The prices are £100, £200, and £15. She asks why the last one is so cheap?"Because he used to live in a brothel" says the shopkeeper. She pays $15. When she gets home the parrot says: "Fuck me, a new brothel!" The woman laughs. When her daughters get home the parrot says: "Fuck me, 2 new prozzies!" The girls laugh too. When the dad gets home the parrot says: "Fuck me Pete, haven't seen you for weeks!"
  9. A 8-10m cat with twin diesel inboards Fished of a twin outboard powered cat and wasn't keen, not a nice ride as it felt too light on the bow And as money is no object, Id have a few of these, Milford Haven, Cardiff, somewhere in Cornwall (maybe Falmouth) Weymouth and maybe one a bit further east I'd also have a 40ft Princess (or similar) down on the south coast, with another in Tenerife and possibly Barcelona Pissed off now reality has set back in, who started this poxy thread 😭
  10. I'm happy catching pretty much anything Though the hit of a Bass or Pollock is a good buzz, black Bream on light gear as well Not a big fan of trying to drag a 20lb Blonde from 80yds out against a 5 knot tide The humble dog or conger often saves a blank
  11. Yep, I'll be out next week too Not sure what day yet, probably Weds or Thurs As for up or down the Channel, that will depend how the charters get on, on Monday and Tuesday
  12. Had a lab crossed retriever from when I was 18 months old until she died when I was around 14. Heartbroken wouldn't have come close to how I felt at the time Fuck, filling up now thinking about her, we literally went everywhere together she chaperoned me up to a shop my grandmother used to work in, which was about 2 miles away and we had to cross a busy Rd on our way there I was about 2 and a half apparently and we escaped while my mother was pegging the washing out
  13. Zook, you were up on a pedestal You're now sat on the kerb
  14. I can take photos of the wiring on the back of mine next time I go down if its any help Mine is wired in zones Let me know
  15. I've had a couple of run ins with him, I actually pity him
  16. jonboijon was the posters name IIRC
  17. When I went in to my messages to see the posters name, I noticed your message to me about this site and saw that under your name was the word "banned" 🤣 I had a small chuckle to myself
  18. Sent a guy a private message on the other forum directing him here after he had no replies to a question he posted regarding C-map Had a PM of the mod, that I was recruiting for another forum and it was banned I replied saying I was only offering advice because no-one had replied on the thread and that there were some knowledgeable people on this forum who could probably help So either the guy reported me or they are monitoring all messages I'm deeply offended
  19. I have a Fusion that was in the boat when I bought it I only recently found out that the front facia tilted forward which revealed an ipod that the previous owner left I don't think I would pay that sort of money if I had to fit one now
  20. So Bruce came back, then went again ?
  21. I bought a pair of Hankook 110AH (when I first bought the boat)and these are around 350mm and too long to fit both in the tray/well Are the Varta pros starter or leisure, or bit of both
