Adam F Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Weather isnt looking good for Sunday lads - winds - 25-30 knots SSW. Lets hope the forecast improves. AF Quote
Sam Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 i saw the forecast yesterday and it said 20 degrees and light winds so its ment to be nice it should improve, the winds have been resonable all week. sam Quote
Maverick Martin Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 the winds have been resonable all week. Sam you obviously wasn't around yesterday. The wind nearly blew me of my Ladeers. Force 5/6 at least in Poole Park and blimin cold with it Martin Quote
Paul D Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 I was about to disagree with you Adam, since I had looked up the forecast on windguru yesterday. Just looked up the forecast and they are predicting 18knots southerly with waves up to 2.1 metres. Will keep an eye as it seems changeable at the moment, but have to agree looks dubious at the moment. Looks good for your Friday trip though Rich. Quote
great white Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Hi Paul I was going to order the worms today but with the forecast as it is, I have not done so yet I will keep an eye on the forecast and if I can not order them at this end I will call the shop at weymouth in a day or so. If its on what time are you aiming to pick Sam up? Charlie Quote
Paul D Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Rich / James , Checked the tide times - LW is at 07:57 but it is 0.8 metres and HW is at 14:00 and is 1.1 metres. ( Hard to find the HW / LW on the graph ! ) So no problem launching all through the day I think. 7 AM launch to get to Shambles by slack water ? or earlier ? PS: At least there wont be much problem with wind against tide Charlie, If I get to your house at say 6 AM - will mean Weymouth by 7 AM easily. Sound OK ( No problem for me as I will be up at 3:30 AM ) ? Quote
Sam Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 sounds good paul early night saturday. if the wind does pick up cant you tuck in close for the wrasse sam Quote
Paul D Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Can do Sam. If you fancy feeling queesy Lets see what the forecast brings and maybe get BB's opinion on the conditions before going. No early night for me either as I have a friends 40th party to go to on Sat PM. Quote
Sam Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 luckily paul ive never got sea sick in my life so i would proberly be ok if you dont mind staying out i really want to go why does the weather always have to ruin it hope we go sam Quote
Sam Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 i have just got my veals order come through of a load of hooks and beads and attracter blades. hope we go seen as its cost me a few bob ive been watching the trees slowly moving all day at school it doesnt seem too bad i dont no what every1 else thinks but looking outside i would be happy fishing in this. sam Quote
Adam F Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Its getting a bit better - 5pm will tell when the forecast is updated. F4 easterlies forecast now, so as long as it doesnt get any worse it should just be OK. Adam Quote
Sam Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 sounds good i was reading this magazine yesterday and there was a 4 page article in there about fishing the shambles i think it was total sea fishing i cant remember but it was really interesting. sam Quote
Paul D Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Windguru Windguru is forecasting 14-15 Knot SE and wave height of around 1.5 metres and 1 "star" for surfing ( stars are bad for fishing ). Wave period = 5 secs ( = starting to chop up ). Mind you better than Tuesday next week, which looks horrendous !! Wouldn't the problem with Easterlies at Weymouth be the fact there is nowhere to shelter ? BB - what do you think ? Quote
Paul D Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Metcheck forecast a reasonable wave height of 1ft for Portland Bill with an easterlies wind of 15 knots ( F4 ). Looks OK I think, given the small tide ? Is it not a case though of "wind from the east - fish are least" ( or something like that ?? ). Oh and Sam - Stop looking at the trees and concentrate on your schoolwork Quote
JIMBOB Posted March 17, 2005 Author Report Posted March 17, 2005 Paul I Am going to leave at about 6/6.30 to get down there.I planned to meet up with Adam on the way. I just hope the weather forecast keeps getting better they have dropped the wind speed on sunday by 10mph in the last 24 hours. fingers crossed. I was going to take some other baits as well to maybe have a go for the wrasse in the habour if the weather gets bad. James Quote
boybilly Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 You are right Paul in that Easterly winds are the worst as far as Weymouth is concerned, no shelter mate. The wrasse are also thin on the ground this time of the year although there are a few 3 lbers about. If it is anything above a force 4 dont bother. BB Quote
great white Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Hi I have spoken to Paul, we are both a bit concerned about the forecast for Sunday. He is looking at a trip on Sat instead Paul if you see this I have booked 1lb Rag, I will collect tomorrow evening. Hopefully if others do not like the forecast for Sunday they may join you on Sat Tight lines Charlie Quote
Paul D Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Thanks for the info Billy, I think others unable to move to Saturday ( I spoke to James ). So will be going for Saturday and fingers crossed that the wind stays down ( otherwise early trip back ). If 1) rough, 2) no fish by 12 AM , then will be heading back and going to football. If 3) not rough and 4) fish are biting then football can take a back seat I will get to yours at 6 AM Sat Sam, so be up and ready. Quote
Sam Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 ok paul will be up and ready. see you saturday. sam Quote
Adam F Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 HMmmm...I can do either day and I must say that Sat is by far the best weather wise. Sunday looks to be touch and go - I may join you yet Paul. Adam Quote
Adam F Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Ive decided on Sat. It suits Gordon better, and my collegue from work who is also coming can only make Sat. Sun looks quite fishable, 16 knots F4 all day, but tomorrow is 3-6 knots winds and 1-2 all day! So Ill see you in the morning Paul - James, I think Loyal Royal and Domino are still going out on Sun, so you wont be alone. Bring on the plaice!! Adam Quote
domino Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 I've been waiting to see if the weather forecast was going change before making a decision... If it stays SE F4 then I'll be staying at home! Alan Quote
Paul D Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Adam, I hope it is 1-2 winds. Forecast at moment is F2-3 ( 6 to 9 knots ) and blazing sunshine. ( Metcheck ) Winds still Easterly though. Bring on the Turbot and Plaice Quote
Sam Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 yeah bring on the plaice and turbot. i would love to catch a turbot i have never even seen one or a brill so ever of them would be great to catch. and i havent caught a plaice for a couple of years tight lines [ hopefully on saturday] sam Quote
JIMBOB Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Posted March 18, 2005 I wish I to could do sat but I have to work I do have monday of though and there giving F1-2 then , so I might well go then instead, I will make up my mind tomorow James Quote
