I've just had a chat with a new/returning member from Fordingbridge. Nigel and his son Harry.
Theyre off fishing on Silver Spray tomorrow but they do have their own boat as well.
Join in Nigel, don't be shy and we look forward to plenty of pictures, reports, questions and input.

Welcome back Nigel, obviously a good Specsavers trip! 😀. Now you can see you way back to enjoyment in the bestp fishing club in the south, if not the country! 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Best wishes. Colin
Thanks guys. To be honest i cant recall joining first time round! Must be an age thing.
Hoping to get my little 10ft dory ready to go out when its flat calm but until then i have been out a few times on charter boats. The latest trip, last week, was with Dan on Blue Strike out from Mudeford. A great boat with a fab hard working skipper. Target was Turbot which we achieved. Also had bass, scad, tope and some mackerel for the freezer for pike bait and the smoker. Was bitten off a few times, tope? so if anyone catches something with 7/0 circle hooks in its mouth let me know what it was. Changed up to 50lb hook length but couldnt get a bite. My son loves fishing and its one of the few occasions i can enjoy fishing with him as he has 2 support workers with him so i can just have the fun bits of watching him reel the fish in. He is very funny!
