Maverick Martin Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Hi Adam Dean and I are up for fri or sat up at Weymouth, I am really desperate to get out Martin Quote
Coddy Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 You can add me to tag along if possible Coddy Quote
Paul D Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Could be up for a Friday trip but will need some crew. Quote
TomBettle Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 Won't be fishing the Shambles this w/e on such a big tide (I hate dragging a weight), but may well try Dancing Ledge on my way back to Weymoth with Quest II. Could be in for a blank, but fancy seeing if any early Bream are about. Tom Quote
markee_b Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 Those lovely guys at Southern Motor Boats have promised me my new toy on Thursday, and my inaugral fishing day will be Saturday (just so long as the snag list doesn't keep me within the harbour !!!). I too was thinking of Dancing Ledge ... do we have a convoy ? Quote
TomBettle Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 Mark You have no idea how much work has gone into getting your boat ready!!!! She is currently in the slings having some nice new antifoul and anodes fitted. Had to gorgeous transducers fitted and electronics cut in yesterday with the wiring taking place later, followed by PDi of the boat (engine done last week), sea trial quick fix of any minor snags and major MAJOR clean tomorrow! If Martin M (Snag Man), lands you on me when you want to trade up then he can come and do it himself!!!!! Even I, the "never get his hands dirty" office boy, was polishing your prop and rudder yesterday to bring them back to shiny lovely metal. Tom Quote
Mike Y Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 The Youngs will be out in force on Sunday out of Weymouth weather permitting - will probably hit the Shambles for a couple of the slacker hours and then head off or down to Lulworth banks Mike Quote
markee_b Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 Thanks Tom I wouldn't want you think me ungrateful !!! I hope you've got Martin to agree to buy you beer for a long time ? If not then I'm sure I can stretch to a round on Thursday Quote
Newboy Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 Polishng one's rudder?! That's what we call dedication...... Quote
TomBettle Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 As t'other half is with me I imagin the fishing will be fairly short lived with or without Bream showing. Does anyone know if it is best to drift or anchor, dancing ledge? Either way, you would be welcome to tag along Mark Tom Quote
markee_b Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 I have some pictures off a charter last year, with some nice bream and a nice undulate form that spot, and the charter boat is definitely at anchor. What sort of time you think of getting there ? I'll probably be out for some time on Saturday Quote
TomBettle Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 Not sure yet Mark. Won't be meggar early as the misses needs to make herself look beautiful and she insists on packing enough sandwiches etc for a fortnights holiday. I'll take a peak at the tide table and see if we can get there just after slack of one of the tides. Tom Quote
TomBettle Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 Hi Mark Just realised I am working on Saturday, but off Friday, Sunday, Monday. Friday, high water at Swanage is about 09:45 which means a comfy start arriving around 10:00ish and fishing the ebb. This enables me to run back to Weymouth with the tide up my chuff later too! Quote
Swainiac Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 My two sons fly in from Ireland tuesday, staying for a week, so I'm afraid I cant crew <sob!> Tight lines for the weekend lads. Rich Quote
Newboy Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 As t'other half is with me I imagin the fishing will be fairly short lived with or without Bream showing. Does anyone know if it is best to drift or anchor, dancing ledge? Either way, you would be welcome to tag along Mark Tom During last year Burnham return match, one of our boat drifted Dancing ledge and it out fish everyone else. Quote
Swainiac Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 It didnt quite outfish the dream team on Loyal Royal. Rich, on behalf of Rocky Beasant. Quote
Newboy Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 Rich, weren't you at the hole catching the bull which won you Quote
