Top fixing! Yamaha can be so expensive! I have found many of the OB parts are used in motorbikes, so with the part number to hand I call Cresent Yamaha in Charminster and often they are cheaper! Got all my carb service parts from there. R

Indeed sad, at least the body has been recovered. R

I hope they find him: https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/16965768.kayaker-alistair-collier-missing/

Nice one Steve, that's the way to do it! You need to tow a bigger coolbox. Rob

Well done all! Some good fishing at present. R

Got my last 12/20 GX2 from Andy, give him the heads up incase he needs to order you one. R

Super catch , agree with Greg, I've always had a 'release a double policy', mind, I'd like to exercise it more often!!! R

Martin, I made 'club member' his primary group as if it is secondary it can't been seen he is a club member in his public profile. I note sometimes you have to have a second group, or at least can't go back down to 1 if 2 have been allocated. R

Hello, I am a fan of the GX2, I have 20/30s & 12/20 - great rods for the money. I also 8/12s (but they are Elites - bit more money) with stainless rings etc, again, great action. The 20/30 are good for normal ray, cod fishing etc and wrecking - had blues to 75lb+ on them. 12/20 and good all rounders, very sporting for wrecking! Reel wise, I usually have SloshXA20s on them but the normal Slosh Daiwas are good value too. https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/daiwa-sealine-slosh-multiplier?gclid=CjwKCAjw85zdBRB6EiwAov3Rin1P7fD0zoYIEp2OKvLncmdxEvZhvgTDF1x65hvTLHAEjo6YRdlExBoCqpkQAvD_BwE Be prepared for 101 different answers on what rod / reel combo people like!! Rob

Looks like already done. Please test and advise - you should see and be able to get in to club members area and detailed catch reports etc. Tks R

I will sort now. Tks Rob

Dave, If you give us an idea of budget and what you plan to do with it we might be able to know what to suggest. My boat is 15.5 ft, nice a light (300kg ABS hull - foam filled unsinkable), 50Hp (economical), 28/30 knts, plenty of freeboard, and i happily go out 10 miles and have done some long runs in horrible seas. It is a Terhi BigFun and there are other models available (same size but lighter) - i know the 4020 as we had one of those in the family too. If you wish to take a look, just let me know. There are Orkneys in the club that also might suit you - no doubt a chat with their owners could be of use. Thanks Rob

done

Brian, pleae confirm and i\admin team will uplift Dave to Club Member on the forum. R

Don't do it.........without spending time on other boats, talking to the guys on here and we need to understand what you want to do. What your budget is. Whats your experience. Welcome to the forum. Rob
