Adam F Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 So - for the 6th year running Im going to try and get out after a Porgie sometime during Aug / Sept. As usual (and the past 5 years the weather has scuppered plans) dates will be around weather and tides. I'm going regardless, but I'll be after a crewman and many boats that want to join in the drift line. Rough plan is to head 15-25 miles out set up a drift with a load of chum and drift with the ebb and back with the flood. Anyone fancy it?

Maverick Martin Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Busy time of year for me both socially and work but if the dates your looking at fit in then yes I would be interested Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Oh oh! I could fancy being cabin boy, if I can catch bait and other bits during the drift!! P.s. The speed limit is 70 onthe A34 you hooligan Franklin!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIMBOB Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Ill Crew to if you have room? went out last year on silver spray but with no joy, so no the drill. and can get tonnes of rubby dubby! Or I could tag along with Dawn Raider Marks really up for a go and a bigger slick, or a camera boat if it does happen!! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Ive been nagging for ages to do a shark trip so ill step it up and free boys will be in.( ive spent too long in weymouth- everthing you catch tastes nice BUT i dont eat fish much AND i just want to catch a big toothy something!) A freind whose dad does a lot of shark fishing in cornwall suggested getting a job lot of blood from a butcher for the scent trail- apparently it works as well as mashed up macks??

Adam F Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) What are thoughts on best tides? From that I can look at dates. However I'll go when the weather works, even if that means a weekday. Edited July 27, 2011 by Adam F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Looking at Sat for this trip guys. So who fancies it? 1) Adam JV - 2 crew places available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I am certainly up for a trip one day over the weekend. On the weather front both days are looking good with Sunday having the wind edge with Saturday having the sun edge. Lets hope the forecasts hold good. For me it will depend on family and the air show commitments will update later Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Weather for sat seems to be holding. Need to start firming up crews, and more importantly chum, which could take a bit of sorting? Anyone got any ideas? Plan B is mid channel wrecking.

great white Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Sounds good The boys and I are keen. That means I have room for one more crew, as I would not take more than 4 on a shark trip, you know the drill just get in touch Not sure wether to drift or anchor in the area of a few wrecks and have the anchor rigged for a quick release. What do others think? Ground bait would be an emptying of the freezer for starters, but some bran would be handy if you are coming down Oli. May have to miss the planes again Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niggle Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Ive got a load of maccy that is in freezer,wifey bless her turned freezer off a month or so ago so it thawed More than welcome to it guys Charlie i believe it is best to anchor and leave a long trail for them to swim up otherwise you drift with youre trail IMHO Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
