Hi everyone,
the name's Allan Mcavoy and over the last month I've really enjoyed checking out the chat in the forums. Seems like everyone has a good laugh at each others expense!!!!!
Up until Christmas myself and co-boat owner Rupert owned a Raider 18 running out of Christchurch called " Bassassin ", but have since sold this and are now the proud owners of a 23' Aquafish called " Aquafresh " that also used to run out of Mudeford and was owned by Fraser that I'm sure some of you would of come across fishing the bay.
We fish for just about anything that swims but have really purchased this boat specifically to fish further afield and also to put a thresher or a porbeagle alongside. Hopefully there will be someone in the club willing to buddy up and share information.
Look forward to meeting some of you at the April meeting (sorry cant make this thursday) and on the water in the near future. We're the two fat blokes in the light blue boat, just give us a wave!!
Cheers and tight lines, be safe,
Allan
Hi Allan,
Keep an eye out for the two fat blokes in the dark blue boat, 'Otter'.............. 
'Sea Magnet' at the ready 
, they'll be out sharking this summer.

Hi Alan
Firstly welcome to the forum and indeed into the club.
I'm sure some of our regulars would love to buddy up and fish for shark. I have only ever tried it once and failed miserably 
although I did have a minor run (no comments please Mike)
I'm glad you can't make it to the meeting this Thursday as you would have been drinking on your own 
Our meetings are held on the first Thursday of each Month. The next meeting is our AGM that is on 6th April. See you there
Martin
Thanks for that Martin,
Could have looked foolish all on my own.
We'll keep our eyes peeled for you Wedger and introduce ourselves if we dont meet you before.

Hi Alan,
I fish out of Mudeford pretty regularly [ as weather allows] ; I'm one of the tiddlers [ boat -wise] in my little Orkney 4 40, but get plenty of fish in the Ledge area.
I know your boat well and have often seen it out , about and whizzing past me.
I look forward to meeting there , or at club meetings.
If ever you are looking for crew......... I'm available weekends and school hols . [until I escpe / retire ...... over next few years hopefully].
Alun.
Allan.........
Apologies for spelling [ just followed Martin's post ].

Re- you two and Trevor (wedger) and me, how about setting up a Fat Blokes section of the club? You gotta be over 16st and under5' 10" (?) to join and we can form our own 'sub' comitee. (That is we order bloody great long french sticks loaded with edible goodies and don't share them with no one!!)
Mad Mike
I was gonna say, 2 fat blokes on a boat, that could be anyone from the club.... 
Welcome and have fun.

At the rat I am going I shall be elligible to join very soon!
A few more pasties and I'll be there.
How much is membership?
Tom
Fat Bloke Section sounds sort of exclusive too. Trouble is, my mate is six three. He doesn't really meet the criteria. Mind you, with 23 stone to go with that six foot three, if he wants in, I say let him in!!!!

Hi Allan,

I have the Boston Whaler named "Marineboy" see you out there- soon as the weather behaves itself

Welcome Allan,
Was your old boat the Raider 18 with a very powerful outboard fitted, around 140HP I think? If you needed this much power to get onto the plane, just how big are you guy's?
Gordon H
Hi Alan,
I wondered when you chaps were going to join the forum / club?
You may remember me from the days when I worked in Bournemouth Fishing Lodge as a nipper? Was chatting to another fat bloke (Rich @ Ringwood Tackle) 
last week and he mentioned that you two had bought Fraisers boat.
Im sure we will meet shortly - I fish all most exclusivly from Xchurch - Blue hulled Warrior 165.
Cheers
Adam
