ospreyman Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 folks i am hoping to take a fuller part in club activities this early summer.i am planning that the Mrs Sea will be moored in poole for may and june and i am hoping to get to fish from her 2 or 3 weekends a month. this means that i need help in planing when to come down (bet the weather messes all that up) and where to fish, the quid pro quo is that she will be available for members to have a trip out on. targets for me will be flatties ray tope and bream and to a lessor extent bass. Cod pollack and bass are ok in home waters (eastbourne). mrs sea is a osprey 26 thoughts and advice plus early indications of wanting crew space welcome. i know the weather is going to influence this but at least you guys can get some shelter from swlys many thanks in advance greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I expect that I can best help once you get the boat to the PYC Yacht Haven and I can put some info on the plotter. I know you are planning the Alderney trip, I hope to talk you into joining us on the 48 hr weekend trip to Cherbourg if weather allows, but there are many slightly less ambitious plans available. Ray Tope and Bream get slightly easier to find in the summer. By late May they will be here in numbers looking forward to seeing you again Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Greg It really is weather driven. For the last few years windows of more than hours seem increasingly rare, and that drives the trips. If we get some settled weather then there are a huge number of options if you are happy to overnight - Dave and I used to head out on a Friday evening and put the bags onboard 'just in case'; one year we fished Alderney waters 4 times (5 if you include a few hours on the banks on the way back from dinner in Cherbourg!) Subject to firing on the Lulworth Range (and the weather) you have some great opportunities for overnighting between Poole and Weymouth with superb inshore fishing early/late and even overnight in the area. As Charlie points out the key opportunities outwith those you normally have are likely to be bream, rays and tope, spurdogs, bull huss.....and even porgies. Whilst not looking to crew I may well be around to buddy, or simply company, as I'm planning to get out in May/June as well - but then again if the weather plays ball there will be plenty of company!

ospreyman Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Charlie, duncan, thank you both,i cant wait to get down there, looking forward to alderney and will have to see about cherbourg. the idea of overnighting some where off dorset had not struck me and certainly sounds interesting. others dont be shy, with luck with the weather there are a few places available greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
