Steve S Posted January 30, 2016 Report Posted January 30, 2016 1st try end April for Tigerfish. BTW Alderney week falls on big tides this year so I will be giving that a miss, fishing comes first. Bramble banker and Kingfisher 126 2 Quote
plaicemat Posted February 9, 2016 Report Posted February 9, 2016 So, how many are intending to try for the end of April for the first attempt, skippers and potential crew? Quote
jerry.shutter Posted February 9, 2016 Report Posted February 9, 2016 Looks like the boat might get here with some time to get some sea miles before the above trip/s so could be up for it with some help!!!! Yet to meet Rob but cannot disagree with his comment!! Maverick Martin 1 Quote
Kingfisher 126 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Boat out the water having a scrub and polish up, rooms booked, new hinges ordered for coolbox all thats needed now is the weather gods to play ball!! Booked for the 29th April 2 May so lets hope the fish are biting, if the poxy trawlers havent had them all! Quote
Oli Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 We've booked for the weekend of the 13th May. Current plan is to leave early on the Friday, fish the Schole then on to Guernsey. Back to the Schole on Saturday if it fished well, if not then to another bank, before heading to Braye for Sat/Sun night, leaving Monday for wrecking on the way home. Let's just hope the weather plays ball! Quote
great white Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 That's the weekend we are looking to go Oli B and B booked for two on Alderney, Dan and I on the boat May have space for one more crew, as Trevor is awaiting some medical treatment, you know the drill Quote
Oli Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 Great stuff Charlie, let's hope it happens! Would you be heading over on Friday or Saturday? Quote
great white Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 Friday to Mon if the weather allows mate. Would shorten to three days either way if we have to around the weather Any smaller window than that, would stop us weekending. Quote
Oli Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Great! I don't mind admitting we're very much going to be fair weather fishermen for this trip. It made such a huge difference last year having nice flat seas and a bit of sunshine! Don't mind being thrashed about a bit for a day trip but when it's 3 or 4 it starts to get a bit much - it is meant to be pleasurable after all! Quote
Maverick Martin Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Our plan starts 2 weeks earlier 29th April for 4 days with similar itinerary to yours. If we are blown off on the first date will join you on the 13th Anyone else still planning on the 29th? Quote
Kingfisher 126 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Kingfisher is going Friday 29th April looking to return Monday 2nd with a little adjustment with weather If required. 31st April Martin?? Quote
Maverick Martin Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Sorry yes 29th that's the trouble at my age trying to arrange things from memory, will alter my post accordingly Quote
Maverick Martin Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Lucky you spotted that Chris or my boat would have gone on autopilot without me Jim 1 Quote
Kingfisher 126 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 It would of struggled with the 31st only 30 days in April!! Quote
Wight Magic Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Im looking at going on the 29th weather dependant and with a twist of my arm may look to go back 2 weeks later Dave Jim 1 Quote
Guest plaicemat Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 So Martin, returning Monday or Tuesday Quote
Steve S Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 I'm going on Sat 30th for 4 days all being well if not the 13th if not... Jim 1 Quote
Maverick Martin Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 So Martin, returning Monday or Tuesday Probably Monday but I could do either Terry. What accommodation did you book? Quote
fisherman1055 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Probably Monday but I could do either Terry. What accommodation did you book?I am ok for either date Quote
Adam F Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Posted March 25, 2016 JV has accommodation etc and fixed plans for the 29-2nd variable 2/3 days each way to suit weather. Plan b is 2 weeks later but window is smaller (for me anyway) due to work. Can't wait! Quote
