Crossy Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Hi Folks, Looking at the forecast for Sunday it is showing 12 mph winds by lunchtime with gusts hitting 15 on XC. The current live buoy data from wavenet is showing 2m waves in the bay . Do we think it will be fishable over by the island or should I find something else to do with my Sunday? Andrew Quote
Rob Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Stay at home and levae more fish for us!!! No skipper can give you advice whether to go or not, that is you call and yours alone. I am still planning on going. Rob Quote
Graham Nash Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 whatever happens i WILL NOT be fishing in Poole Bay!! Quote
Rob Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Have a look at the swell prediction halfway down this page: http://magicseaweed.com/Boscombe-Surf-Report/1323/ Off to buy a new landing net after work, so no doubt wont need it! Quote

niggle Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 I`ll be out based on present forecast Nige Quote
Maverick Martin Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 I am certainly hopeful on the current forecast of making it to the island see you all there Martin Quote
Maverick Martin Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Andrew I believe this will also be your first club comp? if so good luck.... well maybe not as much luck as me Martin Quote
Paul D Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 That certainly looks more encouraging. Must get the rods dusted off Quote
Crossy Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Posted November 18, 2011 Andrew I believe this will also be your first club comp? if so good luck.... well maybe not as much luck as me Martin Hi Martin, Yes, this will be and as long as the mut doesn't get sea sick (he has been fine before) then it will hopefully be a good day. Not sure of the MO though, do we need to register at a certain time or is it just turn up when you get there? Am planning on an early start. Have been fishing for Cod twice in the last month, first trip saw 2 smoothound to mid teens and the last trip saw a pair of Bass so on past form I don't think you have too much to worry about.

Graham Nash Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Andrew, from what I know you just register on the appropriate thread (on this forum) and go fish when you are ready. We are all friends here so it's done on trust. Rules state there must be 2 people on board (I dont think the dog counts as the 2nd person ). I have been toying with taking my dogs out with me regularly, I did take one of mine out once (the picture is on the home page) but he stood up looking over the side the whole of the time so I worried that he might go for a swim, which isnt too bad in the harbour but not so good while anchored in 100ft of water in a running tide. I must try again some time. Good luck. Graham Quote
Maverick Martin Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 For booking in details read here The rules are 2 persons on each boat, the second person does not need to be a club member. You can fish any 7 hour period from 6am - 6pm this should allow those that launch and retrieve to pick a suitable period to fish. 2 rods max per entrant with a maximum of 3 hooks, a Penell rig counts as 1 hook so long as both hooks are in the same bait. If you say you caught it you did just remember to take the lowest consistent reading from your scales. Honesty is the name of the game and the club does trust its members BTW you can book in with any committee member. You can also book in on the day by calling on vhf ch6 calling "any Poole bay small boats" and book in with a committee member Martin Quote
Wedger Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Hope all you guys & gals had a wonderful day with a good few cod thrown in. Sorry we didn't join you to fish but had a great time with Chris my son, coming out to be nosey and see you all off 'the island' on my first full shake down trip after a re-power. Can't wait to see the results. Quote
codpiece Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 What he means is, Chris was on the arse end sculling!! poor little bu**er, D,V. Quote
Mike Fox Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Hi Martin, The rules you referred to above name me still. I had an interesting chat with a member last night who followed these instructions, but I think you might prefer to have a current committee member named instead. Happy to help in the meantime Mike Quote
