great white Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Hi Terry the bait was the usual fishbaits But the locals were catching quite a few codling last year on worm baits/cocktails The local worm is blowlug Hope that helps Charlie Quote
plaicemat Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Thanx for that, Charlie. Glad I kept some mackerel and squid back. I'll speak to my contact and see about getting some of those lug. Quote
Seamouse Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Adam, Is there a limit on numbers of boats the Burnham Club can accomodate? I'd quite like to tag along if life, wife, weather and work don't conspire against me. I'd join the club first (fair's fair) but I don't want to edge out an existing club member if numbers are limited. Steve Quote
Adam F Posted February 4, 2006 Author Report Posted February 4, 2006 Steve, You are more than welcome - no limit on numbers - the more the merrier! Youre on the list! Adam Quote
Seamouse Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Hi Adam, Lookfar is out, I'm afraid. Domestic duties, I have to attend an 18th party and refusal wasn't an option Maybe I'll catch up with you guys if you come east. Steve Quote
Paul D Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Burnham Club now have a web site. I have added it to the web links page ( now how many people go there I wonder ! ) If you want the link go to the web links page and look it up. Also, feel free to add you own links as well if you know any good ones. The Burnham link is under Fishing / Clubs and the web links page can be found here :- Web Links Quote
Harry S Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 Is anyone planning on a launch later than 0800 at Burnham? I could get there but not until 0930 for a launch at 1000 (let the brakes cool down!) Quote
Adam F Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Posted February 24, 2006 Whilst we arrive at 8.00am, last year we had brekkie, then prepared the boats etc and it was about 10.00 by the time we launched. Launching alone is tricky and not recommended unless you have done it before - huge tides and a sticky muddy foreshore - a proper 4x4 is essential. Im sure a few of the Burnham guys will still be around at that time - where are you coming from? Adam Quote
Harry S Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Thanks for the info - its on the cards then (weather permitting) - I'm coming from Swindon. Plaicemat is comong from Carterton and I have made contact with him. You say muddy foreshore & huge tides - is this suitable for a novice? Do I need waders etc? Quote
Paul D Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 I went there last year as a bit of a novice. You will have a buddy boat with you, there is no way I could fish there without one, so you had better have a buddy boat ! ( This year I shant be needing one which goes so slow ). Waders are a good idea, just to hold the boat while they fetch the tractor to tow your trailer out. Expect the boat to be full of sand after the trip PS: I was daunted by the huge tides but didnt really notice it, because you are fishing in shallow water ( 10-20 ft ish if I recall ) and there is no need to steam the anchor out !

Maverick Martin Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Thanks for the info - its on the cards then (weather permitting) - I'm coming from Swindon. Plaicemat is comong from Carterton and I have made contact with him. You say muddy foreshore & huge tides - is this suitable for a novice? Do I need waders etc? Don't worry about the launching or fishing aspect of the trip. The guys at Burnham are brilliant. Last year I was worried about beach launching my warrior 195 which weighs in at well over 1500kg I neednt have. You get your boat onto the hard packed sand which is suitable for cars then their club take over with the tractor and before you know it your on the water. They also buddy you with a local boat so you are looked after for the whole day. When you return to the beach the tractor haul's you out.. simple Come along you'll have a blast Martin Quote
