Adam F Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 After postponing this weekend, the JV crew are again looking at dates around 9th to 15th July for another attempt. Any other boats fancy joining in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hi Adam Though the tides are a bit bigger we could only do that first weekend (8th-10th). Does anyone have experience of fishing the banks on these sorts of tides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 It's the moving around that becomes more tricky - basically you get very well defined windows for certain routes and you really really don't want to miss them! Adam is well versed in the issues. Same goes for the banks themselves, although different areas do have different flow rates and you can usually find a suitable one for drift rates. Comfort will depend on wind and tide as usual, although going back up after a drift can require a more circuitous route at times. Plan on using more fuel, although smaller closer banks like the SW casquettes have fished better on bigger tides for me in the past, as has the bank on the South of Alderney. As ever Mark is a good source of info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
