Maverick Martin Posted December 26, 2015 Report Posted December 26, 2015 So the cod comp is cancelled but I am determined to get out if at all possible over the Christmas holidays. Tuesday is looking a possibility as are Thursday and Friday. Any others looking to get out? If I go I may well need crew is anyone else interested? Quote
Leicester Fisheagle Posted December 26, 2015 Report Posted December 26, 2015 Looking at all the above and hope to make at least one of them subject to crew availability. Quote
Stuie Posted December 27, 2015 Report Posted December 27, 2015 I need to give Sea Dream an outing as well - even if it's only in the harbour... Quote
plaicemat Posted December 27, 2015 Report Posted December 27, 2015 I could be tempted Martin except for the fact I've got a throat lurgie which I'm sure our esteemed chairman's wife, Lorraine, passed on to me. Thanks!! Keep me informed. Quote

Thanks!! Keep me informed. I am not sure we wish to know how it got passed to you!!!!!!!! :o Quote
plaicemat Posted December 27, 2015 Report Posted December 27, 2015 You have to come to the Fishermen's Christmas Party to learn those sort of secrets, Dave. Maverick Martin, Leicester Fisheagle and Ark 3 Quote
Leicester Fisheagle Posted December 27, 2015 Report Posted December 27, 2015 All being well, Fisheagle will be making her end of year trip this coming Tuesday. We hope to get out of the harbour if the weather is not too bad. On Ch 6 if anyone else is blowing the cobwebs away. Allan. Quote
Maverick Martin Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Posted December 27, 2015 Yes I am thinking that Tuesday is the best day to go. Assuming all is well I will aim for the 7:30 bridge to take the flood tide over to the island then return on the ebb for the 4:30 bridge in. As always this plan is as fluid as the weather Jim 1 Quote
Leicester Fisheagle Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Will probably see you at the 7.30 Bridge. Hope you make it over. Ideally, we would like to make the Dolphin Area, but suspect the weather and residual swell could limit where we finish up. Allan. Quote
Maverick Martin Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Posted December 28, 2015 Hi Allan we will be on ch6 Quote

gaffa Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 I'm Going to try Holes Bay and if necessary the Harbour tomorrow for a Flounder or whatever else throws itself onto my hook . Last attempt to increase my 2015 species tally from a miserable 2 Any bets on me catching 47 species in the harbour on the same day to top the leader board..........Good Odds with Betfred Don't like the way the wind strength is increasing though Kingfisher 126, Leicester Fisheagle, Jim and 2 others 5 Quote
gaffa Posted December 29, 2015 Report Posted December 29, 2015 Well that didn't go well Don't suppose an AA breakdown van can be classed as a new species? Was on my way down the A31 to Cobbs when I noticed the car exhibited a bit of a wheel wobble Drove a few more miles eager to get to the boat when decided I better check assuming a balance weight had fallen off. Pulled into the Esso Petrol Station and found front drivers side wheel and Hub VERY HOT and smelly! Quick call to AA services and 40mins later nice man turned up and stripped, cleaned and lubricated disk brake No fault found although intermittent calliper sticking was surmised. Eventually got boat off drystack and gave it a good seeing to as hadn't been out in months and months .In fact it has been sooooooo long that the fuel had evaporated from the running fuel tank....Note to self ............... close vent on tank between trips So spent some more time refuelling a couple of tanks and eventually ready to venture out into Holes Bay Note to self .........Advertise for crew next time ....have you ever tried picking up a mooring buoy single handed when you're inside the cabin trying to steer the b$$$$y thing in a cross wind . Gave up and spent an hour or so playing at fishing next to the twin sails bridge ...needless to say nothing to report so as it was getting a bit chilly and breezy and the light was going called it a day and returned to the drystack pontoon where I remembered to close the petrol tank air vent valve before waving goodbye to the boat for another god knows how long. The old boat never fails to surprise me ..after all those months of inactivity batteries were good and she started first time on the key and ran as smooth as silk The day ended on a happy note ...Car got me home the 45miles without a reoccurrence of the sticking brake issue and Missus served me up Turkey Soup...Result Peteg Stuie, Leicester Fisheagle, Jim and 5 others 8 Quote
