Phil Deller Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Im a new member to the club. Ive been fishing the rough ground marks for the past year and have been reasonably successful. Ive caught many different fish including some small tope and rays. I would love to fish an inshore wreck but havent any idea where to find them or where i can find out. if anybody could give me some advice, or at lest point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Phil As more and more club members take more and more trips out to the local wrecks you can expect more information to become available. As a club member you will have access to the restricted areas of this site and I would expect this to be increasingly populated with the sort of information that you are looking for. wreck positions themselves are marked on most electronic charts and many paper ones, with book like DIVE Dorset containing much useful information. I hope you enjoy your time with the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have much experience at wreck fishing but I,m sure others will point you in the right direction. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob F Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Take care to check the datums that they use for EACH wreck. They vary. I haven't found the numbers to be too accurate. BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Here's another one for Weymouth. Again, the numbers are a mix of WSG84 and OSG36. http://www.weymouthdiving.co.uk/wrecks.htm BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afishionado Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 is there nothing i can fish for at the moment?im desperate to get out and do some fishing.please help... Ancient Buddhist script.........You can fish for whatever you want glasshopper, It is whether the fish are there that only the fish know I know the feeling, but Feb/March is the time of year that sea fish seem to go totaly off feed. Most of the inshore species are off somewhere doing fishy sex and the fish that come inshore in December/January (Cod & Whiting) slidedle off back into deeper water. There may be the odd flounder about in the smaller channels and creeks, fish the channel edges into the shallow sides of the channels. Take a book too Mad Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I cover the Weymouth and Portland area on my site www.btinternet.com/~weybsac . It's aimed at divers primarily but it's the same wrecks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Down at Weymouth, the bass are still around altho only 2-3 lb with the occassional 5 lber. Also there are reports of plaice being caught already. I'm out from there tomorrow (if the weather god shall be so kind) I'll tell you if I catch or not.

Paul D Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Phil, The fishing was dire today. We had one doggies and two pout. Fished for around 3-4 hours total. You are welcome to the co-ords of the pout mark ( If only I had them to hand ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul D Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Try this link for weather Poole Weather I go from Christchurch, so the spot I fished is some distance from Poole ( I assume you are launching from there ). But it is dire, I warn you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Phil, Having fished the majority of the wrecks within close distance of club waters, I can tell you that they generally dont produce the hoards of fish you may think. Firstly, if you have never (or do not have much experinace) fished a wreck in your own vessel before it can be hard work, difficult, frustrating, expensive and sometimes dangerous....dont want to put you off though! The 'Inshore' wrecks (up to 20 miles out) only really have a few bream, wrasse and pollock on them in the summer, and pout and conger in the winter. Their are loads to choose from, but to be honest those of us who fishe them regulary tend to this time of year when nothing else is around - eels are then almost guarentted - a bend in the rod. The reef and bank marks fish much more productivly, so dont get hung up by wrecks - join in and youll soon pick up marks and areas where the different species come from. As others have said - the fishing at the moment is about as poor as it gets. If you launch from Christchurch, the end of Hengistbury head will yeild a few wrasse to ragworm fished on the drift. Other than this, off the back of Christchurch ledge in between the Dolphin bank and the ledge may find the odd late whiting, pout and doggies.

TomBettle Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Phil, I've just had a look at the wreck chart link and it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Phil, Your thread was about inshore wrecks so I looked at some a few miles out, but most of these are quite small. Therefore unless you have a really good GPS position for them it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shytalk Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 having looked on the pandora site last year i would agree with gordon that a lot of the numbers are inaccurate even the weymouth dive site numbers vary in accuracy ps adam you havent even started yet !!!!!!!!!!

Adam F Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Didnt mean club waters - although thats what I typed - mean wrecks close to where I fish often, I.e off Christchurch etc.... ....youre right - Im sure I could try and fish all of them and still be doing it this time next year...
