I like this one. I think I'll give it a go. 

 

Thanks for all the ideas 

It's easier with 2/3 people 👍

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  

Good sign

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

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

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 ?

A wife is tired of all the problems that need fixing in her house

She 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?"
 

2 men at an airport. 1st man says, "I can't find my wife." 2nd man says, "I can't find mine either, what does yours look like?" 1st man " Six foot tall, blonde, big tits, mini skirt, high heels and a boob tube, whats yours look like?" 2nd man says, "Fuck her we'll look for yours.

A man called Kevin is selling his python on ebay

So some bloke rang him up and said “is it massive”
Kevin replies “huge”
Then the bloke says “how many feet”
Kevin says “none its a snake you twat”

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!"

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 

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

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 

Zook, you were up on a pedestal 

You're now sat on the kerb

Oh, and sorry to hear that you've been frisked by a mod Swampy. Never a pleasant experience at the best of times.

I've had a couple of run ins with him, I actually pity him

jonboijon was the posters name

IIRC

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

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

Is that Diego Costa and his brother ?

No, it's me and my twin sister

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

So Bruce came back, then went again ?

Fuck me

I use Varta professional. A lot of batteries are a standard size. Best go for the largest Ah rating you can get in that footprint 🙂 

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
