The Isle of Wight       

The island is 23 miles at its greatest length from The Needles in the West

 to Bembridge Foreland on the East.

Its width is approximately 13 miles from Cowes to St Catherine's Point.

  Its shape resembles a Turbot.

 It has a total area of 155 square miles. It has a land mass of approximately  93,000 acres.

 The island is situated 3 miles south-west of Portsmouth and has a population of 132,000.

It is separated from Hampshire by a narrow channel  or strait known as the Solent.

 There are 65 miles of coastline with 4 estuaries, at least 20 freshwater fishable lakes

  There are  three main rivers Eastern YAR / Western YAR and the River Medina

  This all contributes to the island being an answer  to every fisherman's prayer.

An angler's dream.

    Fisherman's Prayer's

1.  My god grant that I may catch a fish so BIG

that even I when talking to my friends may never need to LIE !  

...................... 

    2.  I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day.

When it comes to my last cast then I most humbly pray.

 When in my lords great landing net and I lie peacefully asleep,

that in his mercy I am judged good enough to keep.
