dave007 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi to you all I have finally got the engine sorted and hoping to take "Happy Days" out on Saturday .weather permitting!. Not had any success on the couple previous occasions and wondered if any one will be out so I can shadow them and change my fortune, I was thinking of staying inside the ferry crossing possibly around aunt Bessy any comments and ideas most welcome Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi Dave, There will be plaice on the edges of the main channel there, mainly on ragworm baits. Any sizeable bass taken will have to be returned if in the nursery area. Chance of small pollack and wrasse in the Castle area, and there's always a chance of something unusual, such as brill, gurnard or bream. Frisky might well be out Saturday, amd will keep an eye out for you! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave007 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Slight change of plan for the week end , my crew has family commitments and will not be able to get out until the Sunday, if any one else will be about would be good to buddy up .

Mike Fox Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Hi Dave, Sunday there will be a small flotilla coming back from Alderney, and there's a separate "thread" on the forum for boats to register for the club Bream Comp on Sunday. You could just stick your name down - it's all done on trust as per rules available elsewhere. Trust me, if the weather is half-decent, there will be boats everywhere. If you don't get any takers for a buddy boat, why don't you grab yourself a crew member keen to try a spot of fishing, and plan to head out to Poole Patch or Ballard Down? There will be 20-30 boats at each in all liklihood, and if you can find a clear spot to anchor or drift, there should be a few fish to small pieces of ragworm, squid or mackerel on No 4 hooks fished on the bottom. I'll probably decide on location on the day, but one of the above is likely. Best of luck, Mike PS I wouldn't burden you with buddying a 6 knot vessel!
