Trip this week?

[Adam F]

I am thinking of taking advantage of the decent forecast this week and getting out one day - does anyone else fancy tagging along?

 

Looking at Tues at the mo - forecast gives NE 3-4 and small tides.

Anywhere in particular Adam ?

 

I will see if I can get Tuesday off work ( 50/50 chance ). Are you after crew or will it be a case of me needing to find crew ?

Like you said earlier Adam, the tides really do pick up from Wednesday.

 

Although the tides are quite early, high at 7.30am (at Poole entrance)

 

I'm up for it what ever day you choose

Weather and tides good for a bit of plaice and turbot on the shambles?

[Adam F]

Wind is going to be fair all week, so with big tides and a bit of a breeze the Shambles would probably be unfishable.

 

Wind for Monday and Tues is looking like 3-4 N/NW with smallish tides, ideal to break Gordons conger duck!

 

I think we will aim for an early start on Tues from Poole. Ill keep an eye on the weather though and if it shifts maybe we will go for later in the week.

 

Gordon - Ill call you tomorrow re times and bait etc..

They give F-3 Nth all day for wednesday on portland bill. Do you think It will be a bit iffy? Ive never been Out there before?

[Newboy]

Me and the missus are out monday and tuesday, not fishing but doing the RYA level 2 boat course, just hope the inshore weather are kind to us.

[Gnasher]

whats the bit of water called off Portland Bill? Is that the Race?? I was looking out off there yeaterday and most of the sea had an average swell, except an area about 500m off that was just an area of mass disturbed water with massive waves. Is this a sand bar or something?

[Paul D]

Dan,

 

That is the Portland Race. Fished it with Adam and Bob ( in BW ) and Rich in Neo. It was well wicked !!

 

My memory of the day was powering away from the race and looking down into Blue Warrior

 

oh and the look on Rich's face when I pulled the bung out the boat after taking a huge wave over the side

 

Good bass fishing although hard to fish - I got the hang of it in the last drift.

The bottom drops/rises from about 40' to 140' in about 1/4 mile - hence when you have a decent tide squashing that amount of water, you get some serious overfalls!
