Hi Adam,
course I remember you, who could forget you?
Suppose the large ginger one told you about having a beer in the pub while I sat on the the boat 30 yards off the quay in 2 inches of water for 4 and a half hours cause I missed the tide, as well!!!!!!
Allan
Hi Allan,
I think I ,ay have chatted to you when you had your old boat Basasasin when you launched from Wick ? ( I certainly recall seeing it around in the past. ) - maybe I gave you a club card ??
I am always launching out of Wick on Neo ( Orkney 520 ).
Look forward to seeing you at the next meeting and what a nice boat you now have.
Hi Al, hope you got Rupert to replace the aerial that he shortened on the bridge when he took me out last autumn. Hope you both got what you needed in order for you get you new boat.
see yah on the water!!

Hi Al,
Welcome to the club You still chasing those sharks! I seem to remember a few years back fishing mid channel on Sundance on an Eel trip with you and Rupert, you sending out a baloon on a long rod after a porgy!
Well done on getting Aquafresh shes a lovely boat.
See you out there .
James
Hi al
Is it the same allan that used to haul those big Ringwood half pit carp whilst having certain limbs in plaster(9-10 years ago)? I used to be a regular on the lake and there used to be a man of the same name fishing during the same season me. I also remember pics in the angling press. I think you had a big common and a decent mirror during that season.
Prob a different Al anyway.....just the name is familliar
Dan
Hi Dan,
yep, thats me
Gave up the freshwater when Rupert Morral and me bought a boat together nearly 4 years ago. Barely fished freshwater since!!
What about youself?
Al
Al......Im still very much into coarse fishing, still mainly carp fishing but havnt fished the Half Pit for a while(but i did manage a decent common from there a few years ago) as it now has restricted fishable areas,. I now fish for everything and anything that swims, whether fresh water or salt water. Ive now got a small Dory (Gnasher) that i own with DommyBoy that launches from Muddiford. I would never be able to give up freshwater fishing though, as nothing gets my rocks off more than stalking a decent carp in the edge in crystal clear water....s......orry claire.......)
Im really enjoying being at sea though, but still leaning the ropes big time.
Welcome to the club.
Dan
Dan, what's you boat, and how big is it? It looks small, but then you're a big lad. 
Kam, im not sure exactly what model it is, as the bloke who i bought it off wasnt sure, but its a dory with a cathedral hull that is an inch or two under 15ft. Its got a 28hp yammy on the back that will push it at about 20 knots in good conditions. Its very small, very light and its great for a one man launch, it draws very little water so i can get out over the bar, but perfect for where i want to fish. Ive even taken it out 5miles south of the island so if the conditions are not to bad then it does everything that i want it to do and its great for 2 people fishing .............................I couldnt afford anything else anyway....
I think it may be a Capri Pilot 15, they also made a 17ft version which naturaly they called a Capri Pilot 17. Many similar designs from almost identical moulds were made in the 80's/90's and probably still today . As you say they are an ideal single handed launch and with their shallow draft and cathederal hull they are a stable go anywhere boat.

Mike...........you are bloody clever. Your right, checked it over and it does say Capri, but i wasnt sure if that was the model or not..Thanks for finding that out for me.
Mike...........you are bloody clever
Mmm yes I am rather I have looked for but can't find a 'smiley' of a smug ba***rd but will happily wear it if one can be found
My pleasure mate! It's a result of a brain that can hang onto totaly irrelavent bits of information but remain totaly useless at the important things in life like fishing.
