Adam F Posted February 23, 2013 Report Posted February 23, 2013 Looking at running down to Portland late March for the flatties. I will do it in a day, but if the weather is good might make it a 2 dayer and overnight in Portland. If its a two dayer, I'd favour and Fri and Sat. Anyone else fancy it? Quote
Peter Posted February 23, 2013 Report Posted February 23, 2013 Freeboys will be there as usual .... matts turned into a bead tart during all,the bad weather and has a collection of beads and plaice traces you would not believe!! Peter Quote
niggle Posted February 23, 2013 Report Posted February 23, 2013 How late in march Adam?Are you thinking bank holiday weekend? I hope to do a trip middle of the month due to the success that was had last year with a couple of 30lbers Quote
Adam F Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Posted February 23, 2013 Whenever really? Looking at my records last year the fishing was good end of march. I'd rather not risk a trip too early if they aren't there so will monitor the charters rather than make a decision on dates now? niggle 1 Quote
fisherman1055 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Posted February 23, 2013 I am keen to get over to the a shambles and have some time off at trend of March An overnighter sounds good I will need to look for crew if the trip is on Tony Quote

Guest Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 im looking at trying the 16th or 30th. i cant do 23rd. Quote
Maverick Martin Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 I'm definitely interested in this trip but two things will decide when I go 1st is Dean is not back from holiday until tomorrow so can't find out his plans until Monday at the earliest and 2nd tides, haven't checked them yet but I would not plan to go fighting large tides Martin Quote
great white Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 If someone who knows the area and its March Fishing, can sort out which tides are best and post dates that would be a great help. as I need to look at Work and Family commitments, prior to looking for crew Prefer to run down and then towards home with the tide if possible A two day trip sounds good, either overnight in Weymouth or Portland If the banks are slow, or my crew mutiny. I may reserve the right to change plans on day 2, to a bit of wrecking Quote
live bait Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 I would be keen to join any of you mid March onward, mid week or weekend. Can be flexible at short notice. PM me or email cw@redboxfire.co.uk if any opportunity. Tia! Clive Quote
Gas Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 Hope to be on site with the caravan by the end March.looking at putting abode on a pontoon this year but not until end April.so available as crew any time in March. Quote

I may reserve the right to change plans on day 2, to a bit of wrecking I'm not the world's expert on Portland tides but we're booked with Chris Caines on 4th April, based on good tides for the flatties. I'm guessing therefore that the weekend of the 23/24th March will be similar tides. That would give you a run down with the tide on Sat am and back on the tide on Sun pm. If the weather's good we're planning to go then as well. Chris Quote
JIMBOB Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 Hi Adam I was looking to go this sat for a look if the weather holds! and would join you later in march but cant do Easter weekend!, already got a ok for the 15th and 16th, my days of are friday sat at the moment if your short on crew let me know if not I will dring Dawn raider down but would only be able to do a one dayer James Quote
Adam F Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Posted February 25, 2013 That's early! I was going to go wrecking this weekend but its looking blowey? I haven't got a tide book for 2013 yet. Ill grab one and take a look later this week. Adam Quote
great white Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 I will see if I can crew up for the 23rd/24th As Wendy did not object that loudly niggle 1 Quote
JIMBOB Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 I'll soon find out if I'm too early, but was going to take some worms incase. Weather looks ok for Saturday to me at the moment as do the tides ,is touch and go still tho, but the kids and misses are away so I'm going fishing somewhere!! niggle 1 Quote
Maverick Martin Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Damn 23rd I have to go and watch Bournemouth play and can't get out of it my brothers company has paid for a box..whatever that is....and no Paul you can't come I'm not paying May just do the shambles on the Sunday assuming Pete has finished my engine hatch. Martin Quote
Paul D Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 An executive box. You will,enjoy it, but lets hope their results improve. Lost 2 0 tonight I think that particular game I can't make. If it is the Bury game. Quote
Maverick Martin Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Yep tis the Bury game, I'll text you the result Quote
Adam F Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Posted March 4, 2013 I'm going to start making plans around the 22/23rd March. Down on Friday back on Sat - leaves me Sun with the family. Anyone else? Quote
great white Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 I doubt very much that the boys would join me, so I may be able to do that Adam as I have a few days holiday owing I will see if I can get a crew Charlie Quote
