great white Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Hi all Now that the Rugby has slightly less interest [i will watch the recordings] it is looking good for a practice for the Open this Saturday. The boys are away, so Gordon is joining me. I will have room for a couple of others, if you are interested please get in touch. Probably not going too far, or too early Charlie Quote
Paul J Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 I would if i could, maybe next time PJ Quote
Neal Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Might have a trip out myself Just to see if the cod have turned up yet! I heard that they have caught a few in the miles of netting strung about in the bay. Neal Quote
Graham Nash Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 I am hoping to get out Saturday (and/or Sunday) but it will depend massively on my dogs. I have a bitch in season at the moment and a very stressed and frustrated dog trying to get at her so if they are still stressy then I will have to stay at home to prevent having any more. If I do manage to get out I was intending to head over towards the IOW somewhere (and take some squid with me ). Quote
conger king Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 we tried it on sunday but all we had was conger dogs and lots small bream hitting the baits and of course the dreaded red weed Quote
Mike Fox Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Was hoping for a lively little session somewhere....so out on Frisky on Saturday, subject to rousing the troops. While I'd love a cod on board, I haven't had one on one of my boats for ages (10 years or more), so this winter the plan is to fish for whiting with intent....hoping for a few pan-sized ones on medium/heavy gear...and hoping for a cod as a bycatch. Any news of whiting yet, or does everyone else try for cod, and keep the whiting as a by-catch ? Mike Edited October 12, 2011 by Mike Fox Quote
niggle Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 I'll be out both days this w/e Saturday with two novices so find somewhere not too lumpy. Sunday have a proper go Quote
great white Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 Mike we usually give the big rods/baits priority for the cod. and then put lighter rods /uptiders out to enjoy the fight [and taste] of a few whiting. Tight lines all We will be on channel 6 , even if its just Gordon and I Charlie Quote
fisherman1055 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 We may see AWOL , LUCA and Serenity rafted up in the harbour Saturday afternoon if any one wants to call us up on CH6 slurp, slurp. Tony Quote

pirky Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Alice II will be out on Sunday as the wind veers to a S Westerly .... not sure where just yet but was hoping to get over East a-ways......Tried Southbourne rough a week ago with not much doing so it may be a case of out a bit to the banks .. we will see how lumpy it gets..... Will be on Ch 6 Dave Edited October 14, 2011 by pirky Quote
Graham Nash Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Saturday is a no go for me but I will be out Sunday, heading similar general direction to Pirky. I will also be on CH6 listening to who is catching what Quote
Matt Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Well how did we all do? I had a rubbish day - two pout. Doesnt help seems everyone else in the marina bagged up. One boat had 19 brill and turbot, another a 12lb bass Even dad had a huge tope. Soooooo frustrating Quote
Stuie Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Out today with No 1 son Glen (with permission of Cabin Boy) Awkward start when engine misfired and shut down twice before starting and running normally. Suspect this was nothing serious as all engine warning lights cleared. Decided to try in the main channel near the Ro Ro for plaice, and to give the engine chance to misbehave. Glen snagged a plaice followed by a feisty 2lb wrasse before we ventured out to the swash. Glen in again - a red mullet. One or two small bream became a nuisance so it was out to the spoils to meet up with Dream Drifter at anchor. Dogfish and some good red gurnard obliged before the tide dropped and interest tailed off. No whiting or cod. Up anchor to drift towards the Whitehouse grounds with more gurnard and a nice bream. Old Harry was 'interesting' on the way round to the bay - and that was it bar an abortive drift south of Hook Sands. Great to be afloat again and engine was fine. Must get organised with an Alderney rig as lifting the anchor doesn't get any easier. Quote
Mike Fox Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Out yesterday on Frisky with Carol, seeing a few club boats out and about. Tried for Gilts in the harbour, and Triggers on the inshore rocks seeing as the water temperature is holding (too warm for cod still?), but no joy. We stuck with the breaming gear, and had just one mackerel, a couple of 1lb pollack, ballan to 2lb and corkwing wrasse, dragonet and pout. The pout were tried as livebait with no success. Just the one mackerel kept. Overall, found the SE kicked the sea up rather uncomfortably even inshore, and we struggled in the harbour. We drifted instead of anchoring, as our small fishing anchor might have been pulled out with the motion. After power loss on the engine 2 weeks ago, and the starter cable fracturing last week, was keen for an uneventful trip. However the engine was loud, knocking in tickover and I couldn't work out why, and guessed the idle speed adjustment had slipped. Returned early on the 2.30 bridge lift and discovered that there was a missing nut from one of the front engine mounts, and the whole engine moving alarmingly at tickover, though normal vibration at a few hundred revs more. Strangely, I couldn't find the missing nut, and my spares box had nothing the right size. Cobb's chandlers provided a replacement (and a few spares at the needed size and above). Cranked it up tight, and all seems normal again now, including tickover speed. Also, remembered to check the alternator hadn't blown a diode, and is stlll working fine after the cable fracture (should have checked that last week!). Hope that's the end of the engine problems! Hope others did better than us. Mike Edited October 16, 2011 by Mike Fox Quote
