Paul J Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Posted March 23, 2006 Dont worry my arse will be firmly planted in the harbour if it's too rough Quote

Paul J Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Posted March 23, 2006 Dan, I'll decide in the morning, give me a shout if you want a ride Launching about 9am PJ Quote
crazy fred Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 well at 1:10am 34mph ESE have fun in the morning , even im not getting out of bed with that blowing Quote
Paul J Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Posted March 24, 2006 errrr maybe i'll have a lie in Quote
Paul J Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Posted March 24, 2006 Went down to the boat about 8:30am and did a few jobs ( always something to fix) with low water at 9am i thought id better wait for some water before running the gaunlet at the entrance. Brought everything but the kitchen sink with me and forgot my gps and fishfinder! getting through the enterance was no problem except having to go so slowly provided me with a good soaking as i took a couple over the bow Once out it wasn't too scary, wind with tide and a fairly big rolling swell but not horrendous. (not for the faint hearted either though ) Got into the deeper water just west of the head and fished for an hour both on the hook and on the drift with mackeral baits, Nothing doing and totally soaked from all those showers i decided to surf back in. Good fun to be out and didn't expect to fish anyway let alone get a bite . PJ Quote
Maverick Martin Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 Well done Paul your a braver man than I Martin Quote
Afishionado Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 Paul, I take my hat of to you mate! I s'pose invigorating is the word you would use? My thinking is along the lines of obsessive repetitive self punishment. I am sure you can get pills for it Be patient dude, that balmy spring day with a gentle force 2 breeze, a cloudless sky and rods kicking down with the charge of a 5lb bream on your line, well, they are just around the corner.

Gnasher Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 brave man pj.....I was at work wondering if you were gonna be mad enough to try...... 'nuff said!!! haha Quote
Adam F Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 When you gotta go.....you gotta go!!! Nice try matey - fingers crossed for next weekend - 3rd time lucky! Quote
Paul D Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 Paul, Did you catch anything at all ? I am tempted to try out tomorrow. ( If not I might take the boat for a spin in the harbour ). Off to check the weather forecast now Quote
Paul J Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Posted March 25, 2006 Paul, Nope not a thing, but i only tried for a hour. If you see a load of Smoke up the Harbour, that'll be me decarbing my engine this morning PJ Quote
Paul J Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Posted March 25, 2006 Mission complete, decarbed the engine today without too much fuss. Took a spin round the harbour to blow out some of the crap, it looked quite nice out- better than yesterday. The Sea temp in the harbour is 7c apparently 8c is when it all starts happening PJ Quote
