Retrowagon Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi all Just thought I'd introduce myself, I live in Broadstone, having moved here last year I've been wanting to start fishing which I did last year (with not much luck 1 bass in three months) I have taken the plunge and gone and bought a boat today, this is after trawling adverts for the last 30 years, as I've never had the guts to buy a boat as I lived in Bedfordshire, now in Poole I have no excuse to not have a boat lol. Hopefully I've bought a good one and will look forward to taking her out. I'm after as much advise and knowledge I can get on boating in and around Poole from this site. As I've been reading many articles on here and look forward to meeting some of you and enjoying fishing in Poole on my boat.

Coddy Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hi Retro Welcome to the forum I would suggest the best thing to do is join the club as you will get loads of help if you need it and just by asking. I too live in Broadstone and would you believe I too moved here from Bedfordshire, good choice! I am the Safety Officer of the club so if you need any help just ask. Our next Club meeting is our AGM which will be on Thursday 3rd April at 8pm We meet upstairs in the Trades and Labour Club in Ashley Road, Parkstone. (Next door to the Esso garage) Hope to see you there if you can make it. Dave Retrowagon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrowagon Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 That was my thought Brian Imagine the scene ......... Me " hello is that the coastguard" CG "yes" Me "I'm in trouble I have no idea where I am" CG "ok don't panic, what boat are you in?" Me "I'm the really big bloke waving in the bright yellow tiny boat" CG "ok we see you" So it might have it's benefits eh ? I'm not a white boat in a sea of white boats :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Not sure I would stray out the harbour, stay safe and learn your and your boat's limits in a safe environment! Poole harbour can get very sloppy / choppy so be ware!! Rob Retrowagon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrowagon Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks rob that's exactly why I bought this boat is to get experience on the water and if I get on well I'll move onto bigger and better things in a couple of years. Look forward to bumping into you lofty ... Well not literally lol Charlie ... Hello back ... Seems you are a man of many words Been down to the quay today about moring it at the quay for a week to leave it in the water to make it a bit easier to have ago as it were. Also would be able to take my daughter out for her birthday in her birthday gift ... A life jacket Paul J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
