Maverick Martin Posted August 23, 2005 Report Posted August 23, 2005 Weather permitting Dean and I will launch at Wick this saturday and try for a day out to the the island. Anyone else going out sat? Martin Quote
duncan Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 yep - heading out to Guernsey...............again subject to the weather! Worst case we go Sunday which is shaping up on most sites as a stunning day with no wind at all! Quote
Adam F Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 With the small tides - had thought about giving the Tope a bash round to the West - anyone know if they are still around? I had considered the island but the tides look very small - and in previous experinace the small tides needs live eels to catch? Martin, I still may come along - if you havent used Wick before it may be helpful to have a familar boat to follow out. Ill have a look at the weather on Friday and then make a decision. AF Quote
shytalk Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 why not try for tope off the needles ?????? there are plenty of spots to try with the added possibility of big blonde rays etc Quote
Maverick Martin Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Posted August 24, 2005 Adam I have used wick but not for about 10 years so yep if you fancy it would be good to follow another boat out Pete Have had experience of them Island Tope pinching baits intended for Bass. Would you just fish any of the banks South East of the Needles? Martin Quote
Paul J Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 Martin, i will probably be there to escort you out but will stay on the Ledge Paul J Quote
shytalk Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 south of the needles by about 7 miles 120ft deep the pollack bank area should produce some Quote
Maverick Martin Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Posted August 24, 2005 Thanks Peter Martin Quote
Adam F Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 LW - 10.00am HW - 18.30pm I think we will come along Martin. I prefer an early start at Wick, gives you a chance to park the trailer in a space and then put the car on the road, esp on a bank holiday w/end. I should think we will be on the slip for 6.30/7.00am?? Any later and it can start to get busy - also an idea to launch while there is a bit of water in the harbour. Anyone seen the weather yet? I have just looked and Sat is showing F4/5 SW?? Adam Quote

Niether Sat or Sun look brilliant but the holiday Monday looks like the best of the three days. Mad Mike I will check the seaweed again later on Friday. Quote
Paul D Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 Could be up for an early trip on the Saturday ( will need to be back for party in evening ). Will need crew though, although could go alone I guess or do you have crew PJ ? Quote
Guest Guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 I will be going out for a family day with my son and Dilys. Leaving about 7.30 from Wick. Will have to be on best behaviour. Quote

Manic Moore Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 Suffering from premature optimism then Mike Quote
Adam F Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 What do we think then? Met office - F3/4 SW 5 at first?? From what I can see this looks to be the best we are going to get this weekend? Adam Quote

Maverick Martin Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Posted August 26, 2005 Dean and I are going to have a look in the morning. Don't expect to get out past the needles with that forecast but can fish the ledge or maybe alum bay? We will try and be at the slip for 7.30ish Martin Quote
Adam F Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 Hopefull the F5 will be 5/6pm tonight and 3/4 tomorrow, so may be OK. Gorden and I will also have a look - will be at the slip about 7.30am - see you then Quote
