Sam Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 hi guys just looked at the weather and its looking good both saturday and sunday is anyone heading out over the weekend im not sure if we are going out yet might be toping but just wondered if anyone else was venturing out. sam Quote
Afishionado Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Sam says......... im not sure if we are going out yet might be toping.................. Will it be topping to top up your topeing? OR What about a mark thats a palace for plaice and certainly the place to place your bait. OR Listen to some soul music and catch a sole in the Solent. It depends on which one you would ask a witch to cast a spell to have? Aren't words wonderful eh Sam Mad Mike Quote
Sam Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 mike what have you been sniffing hang on dont answer that you might get arrested just found out that we wont be fishing dads got to do the bathroom so i am now going to ask if anyone needs crew sam Quote
Paul D Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Quite possibly for one of the days on the weekend. Depends if Helen wants to go or not - but I fancy a go in the Solent for some smoothies. Quote
Sam Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 well you know i would love to go it would be a nice and relaxing after a week of exams. but if helen wants to go let her go sam Quote
Nipper Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 sam isnt it a trailaway to weymouth this sunday coming mark b Quote
Paul D Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Mark, Not according to the calendar. However, I did recall reading somewhere that the last trailaway ( the one I "Bottled out" of due to grotty weather ) was put back to May but then many boats actually went, so maybe it isn't ? I am still tempted to take Neo out for a bash at the smoothies but there again a few Plaice and maybe a turbot would be nice but Weymouth is a fair haul for me ( I guess the Alderney boys are sick of the sight of Turbot though ).

Coddy Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Paul See Adam's response to the cancelled trailaway Coddy Quote
duncan Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 hmm - and I just thought it was scheduled wind and rain for the weekend. ah well we will just have to wait and see how it unfolds as usual. Quote
Nipper Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 well im up for it sunday if anyone else fancys it mark b Quote
Speciman Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Hi Sam Haven't checked the tide but I thinking of launching from Keyhaven and drifting inshore near the Pennington Marsh area. Quote
duncan Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 NE 6's and 7's will make that rather more interesting than usual (if Theyr's predictions for 0100h Sat pan out............... ) Ballard and the Patches will be pretty exposed too...... Maybe it will all die down by 0800h Sat or at least for Sunday........... Quote
Newboy Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 I thought it was a mistake by Metcheck, they forecast (upto) force 10 wind till early Saturday morning for Portland. Quote
Sam Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Posted May 11, 2005 i checked metcheck last night and it was showing small winds sam Quote
Afishionado Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 http://www.met-office.gov.uk/weather/europ...alsouthern.html Forecast Sat' cool and grey rain and strong easterly 25mph wind Sun' bright and sunny but maintaining the cool easterly but now down to 5mph. I have always been told that an East wind is no good for fishing> Is there any truth in this I wonder? Mad Mike Quote
duncan Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 apart from cold and low pressure East winds here are normally associated with changeable weather which most wildlife dislikes. They are 'programmed' to react positively to prevailing conditions in general and for us that's SW. Quote
Newboy Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 The forecast has moved forward but is now forecasting a force 11 on Friday. Portland Bill 48 hours What does a force 11 look like? Quote
great white Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Bl##dy Rough Not to recomended or enjoyed even on a Destroyer or Aircraft Carrier. I have been there on both and did not enjoy it to much, I was nearly seasick on the carrier. Definatly not the weather for any PBSBAC boat, even Bliss 2 Charlie Quote
duncan Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 yea - and not much chance of getting to and from any shelter either......... Quote

They are 'programmed' to react positively to prevailing conditions in general and for us that's SW. Does that thing about wild and savage creatures hold true for wimmin too. I mean it might explain a thing or two. An east wind and PMT has lead to the end of several relationships |I reckon. And who suffers the most? Yes the boat that's who!! Mad Mike Quote
Guest fish finger Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 well they say when the wind is in the east the fishing is at its least... Quote
Paul D Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Ah that explains why I caught so little today Quote
Sam Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Posted May 11, 2005 yeah but why did helen catch fish then sam Quote
blueboatdriver Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Bl##dy Rough Not to recomended or enjoyed even on a Destroyer or Aircraft Carrier. I have been there on both and did not enjoy it to much, I was nearly seasick on the carrier. Definatly not the weather for any PBSBAC boat, even Bliss 2 Charlie Charlie, I have also experienced these conditions in a 70ft fishing boat many times off the north coast of Scotland including dodging for 24hrs with 110 knot gusts. Very exciting to a point but not to be recommended I will be very surprised if we see a force 11 on the south coast in May. I don't think it's blown that hard for over a year has it? Quote
Newboy Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Ah that explains why I caught so little today So you go out on a easterly a lot then ....... Quote
