iansimpson63 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I joined the club last night and was bullied by the committee into handing over an extra £5 for family membership, I hope this intimidation will ease off. We have a Dejon 14 with a Mariner 20 HP that is used within the harbour and 2 adults can fish comfortably from Pug, I don't see her going out the harbour unless there is a very calm day. I have been fishing for many years but took a 20 year gap due to PMT, however, a change of spouse and end of rugby days allowed me to start again about 9 years ago. I am keen to keep learning the art of sea fishing and would like to crew on boats when members have space. Regards Ian niggle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hi Ian, Good to talk with you last night. I will be happy to take you out fishing - perhaps joining me and Stuie for the Club and Poole Sea Angling Centre Bream Competition on the 18th if you are available. As long as my boat is back in the water by then! Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Welcome Ian, good to meet you last night and I look forward to your catch reports I know you are aware of the limitations of the Dejon all I will say is take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Welcome to the Club I hope that you get as much out of it as my family and I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansimpson63 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Gentlemen thank you for the replies. To answer a few points raised; Brian, my boat is called Pug and I will monitor 6 when out. Neal, I would like to join on the 18th if your back on the water, and i will send you a PM later. Maverick, the advice on the Dejon 14 limitations is welcome and enforces my reasons for staying inside the harbour and respecting all sea states. I only take risks with other peoples money. Tony, I had Pug overhauled by a friend Tony Cordial of Select Marine and she is fine at the moment but will say hello to Mike and Carol for future advice. Thank you all so far and if anyone would like to start a collection, my 2 girls want a pink and a purple rod now that they are members. If this doesn't happen I will view it as discrimination being a Cornishman. Bye for now, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hi Ian In last months BFM there was an article on small and very cheap rods [£20.00) that are bright pink they were catching very big smoothies on them so they are a bit tough These may suit you for your girls Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Plenty of help and advice already Ian - good to see that you've jumped in (to the forum) with both feet... Very unCornish-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
