JIMBOB Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 If it holds up anybody else going out for the coddy?After last year when they virtually disappeared by Chrimbo I just wonder how long they will be around? I normally find the fishing's best on the marks I fish from first week of November until fist week of Jan, but last winter certain Poole charter boats were bagging up right until feb Im watching that weather for a window too, Ive got this week off and its typical!......

Rob Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I think last season was poor, as the weather was so bad - I think the Poole cod comp was postponed twice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicky Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 plenty of cod showing in the brissy channel, though mainly small at the moment. we had around 20 out of burnham at the weekend and have a club comp sunday so will let you know how it goes. bit of a treck for you guys but if can quite often get some sheltered fishing in when it's blowing on the south coast.

mike02380 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 weather looks pretty horrible all weekend, what is it like in the solent tucked into the isle of wight in strong sw winds? Thinking close in around gurnard or hamstead? I'd like to get out this weekend if possible, prefer cod but will settle for flounder! need a chill out away from work, don't mind the rain but don't want to be getting thrown all over the place in my orkney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to get out this weekend if possible, prefer cod but will settle for flounder! need a chill out away from work, don't mind the rain but don't want to be getting thrown all over the place in my orkney Yes, the weed in The Solent can be a right pain but you can reduce/ avoid it. I've found that the weed is usually worse on the ebb because, I believe, the ebb takes roughly 5 hours and the flood 7 so with roughly the same amount of water to shift the tidal flows are less and weed is pulled up from the bottom so much. I won't promise no weed after the blows of the last few days and I'm away this weekend but if I was going fishing I'd think about somewhere around the Lepe buoys on the flood. Not a brilliant place to set a hook but the tides are relatively small and with a SW wind, the wind will be with tide so should be ok for most. If it is too rough, you could always try dropping your hook in Lymington river or outside of the mouth of Keyhaven, there's still a few spikeys about and a soft crab might do the trick.

mike02380 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 thanks for the feedback guys, i'll make a decision tomorrow, may even try for a flounder or 2 around keyhaven/pennington marshes or newtown creek (exploring required) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike02380 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Well, I didn't go on the basis of a terrible forecast and this morning it doesn't look too bad! bramblemet is giving a f3 in the solent and its been lovely and sunny in hythe! - gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 It looked lovely out of the window this morning after i cancelled a trip with a mate who lives two hours away. I went to check it out thinking id made the wrong call? Trust me it was like a roller coaster out there, great for getting airbourne but pants for fishing.
