will church Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Can anyone shed any light on launching at Xchurch, and specifically Mudeford? I gather you have to be careful to come in and out when there's plenty of water about, but otherwise? Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Shallow, busy in summer and quite expensive. Trailer needs unhooking and wading out usually. Plus sides - it is very close to the entrance, so no need to spend half and hour plodding up the harbour at 4 knots. We use muddiford in the winter when its free and Wick in the summer, which although it still gets as busy - if you launch early enough, put the trailer in the park and park the car around the corner it is free - plus its a steep slip so the boat just rolls off.

will church Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Thanks Paul, it'd be appreciated as always - Tom is taking the boat to his mother in law's (near Mudeford!) on Friday night, and we'll be chucking it in Sunday at 7 or 7.30 depending on the drive down. I presume from the previous comments we'd be best off at Wick? Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Yep your better off at Wick to start with and you'll get to see the Mullet and the Sea Trout jumping on the way out if your lucky May see you down there Paul J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I launched at wick today at high water, slips in even a big boat with no probs at all. Free aswel. Launched at muddiford on Fri and its a different story. You only have to pay between 9-5pm there, but its a pain, very shallow, you have to go out and come in on the right tides. Go from Wick.

Gnasher Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Paul J, is it mostly thick lipped up there? Ive had loads of them on bread, just never had a thin and I fancy having a go on spinners for them. Is it best up towards clay pool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Try near the 4 knot sign, there mixed lots of thicks and thins- low tide is best Paul J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
