Maverick Martin Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Has anyone started looking at the weather yet? I know I shouldn't tempt fate but I did and wished I hadn't. Fingers crossed for improvements great white 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 The weather seems to be swinging all over the damn place. What a bloody pain that is. Has anyone else been thinking of using Weymouth/Portland as an alternative if it stays Northerly? I may struggle to make alternative dates for Alderney.

Steve S Posted May 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 A pain indeed Charlie, just waiting and watching at present. If it's a no good I'll try and do something else depending on wind direction.I've got the reserve dates booked as holiday so I could do those if needed.

Charlie I'm doing Portland at the end of the month so really would prefer not to do it now however? Most sites are giving it doable except for Predict Wind which is currently saying Fridays no good but the rest of the weekend ok. I will call my crew on Weds eve to decide when we're going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iansimpson63 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Watching with great hope, shall I go to Lidl for the special reserve port now or wait? I don't want to fork out over £5 a bottle if it won't get used in Alderney as it should only be consumed at ultra-special events.

I know there have been a decent number of pollock and a few cod off the wrecks (well some of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hi again I have just called our best fishing contact on the Island, he sounded a bit unsure regarding the weather forecast. He tells me that they are getting some fish on the usual spots. I Forgot to ask how the bait situation was, but if they are getting fish they must be getting bait. Hopefully we will see him for a beer at the weekend. Mal Thomas and Steve S 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Thomas Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Starting to get excited, probably won't sleep until Friday in anticipation. Watching the weather and working out how to feed the troops, we might be on a high protein low fat module this weekend except at the bar.😂 niggle, Kingfisher 126, Jim and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Evening, JV is down for this trip albeit only the 2 skippers as no crew available. As it stands I’d want a better forecast to go - it’s marginal at best for a 3 day trip - as usual if it improves its game on if it falls away it gets pretty snotty... The current JV plan is to head Portland way for wrecking and Shambles - sat and sun. The reports ive seen are mixed on the other side.... the May water has also started and has dropped the wrecking off somewhat if you can’t find clear water.

That's our backup plan Adam I may choose Weymouth though as its closer for crew to find digs and easier to get fuel and to the pubs and restaurants, All down to weather mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Just a sentence from an email received from Mark at Alderney Angling today. 'Been a few flatties about, last set of small tides I had 30 followed by a day of 17'. Reasonably optimistic. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
