great white Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 Wow is it that time of year again already. Having just picked up a tidebook, Dave and I are looking at when the tides look good. During May the weekends are not brilliant. One mid month has potential and an early one in June could be a good reserve date. Is anyone else keen to take their boats this year? I am hoping to have Will and Gordon as crew again. Planning to fish the banks and wrecks. Charlie Colin-58, Jim and Wight Magic 3 Quote

jerry.shutter Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 I would like to if i can Charlie, crew TBA!!! Jim and great white 2 Quote
Steve S Posted January 29 Report Posted January 29 Good weather permitting Tigerfish will be going with Alun, Graham, Ian and myself on board Quote
great white Posted January 29 Author Report Posted January 29 Had a look on the Boatworks Guernsey website yesterday. Their fuel prices are way cheaper than Alderney at £0.86 ltr red diesel. If we still fished Schole Bank, I would be tempted to go there. Quote
Steve S Posted January 29 Report Posted January 29 I've filled up there a few times, they are very efficient, Alderney is pricy now and has been since Covid. Need a big tank to make it worthwhile. I've had a few Turbos on the banks round Sark so I'd combine it with a visit there. Jim 1 Quote
great white Posted January 30 Author Report Posted January 30 Thanks steve Can you pm me some info on those sark banks, so that i can take a look. Quote
great white Posted January 30 Author Report Posted January 30 Has anyone ever been into Beaucette marina? I hear that fuel is even cheaper there and its 5 miles nearer to the casket banks Jim 1 Quote
Steve S Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 I haven't, access is through a tidal barrier of some sort I'd heard, so need to get your timing right. great white 1 Quote
great white Posted Friday at 05:10 PM Author Report Posted Friday at 05:10 PM Dave and I have crewed up to go over on the 16th May, weather permitting. Staying ashore for three nights, this time in La Ville hotel. I booked this morning directly with the new Manager Sophie. She seems to be much easier to deal with and very relaxed about cancellation and deposit. I have put this up in case others are thinking of coming and need some accommodation.

Steve S Posted 9 hours ago Report Posted 9 hours ago Tigerfish is aiming for a 3 day trip between the Sat 3rd and Tue 6th May, with 18th to 20th as a reserve. Tides on the 16th and 17th May look a bit strong to me. great white 1 Quote
great white Posted 8 hours ago Author Report Posted 8 hours ago Nice one Steve We wanted to go with buddy boat and Dave could not make those early May dates. Hopefully you will get across, catch plenty and give us a nice fishing report with an update on how it is fishing. Charlie jerry.shutter 1 Quote
