Sam Posted June 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 so its flash tom never used auto pilot always had to do it myself would love to do some of the drifts done it in our boat loads of times sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Would it be more prudent to all go in one vehicle then???? I can drive to Charlies and collect Sam and his gear, I'll pack a small amount in a bag, if only one person brings weights, then payload is kept to a minimum, and we reach "ramming" speed far quicker.

TomBettle Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Sounds good Rich Charlie A can have the kettle on and we all rendevous there? Should have plenty of leads onboard, assuming that the Quest II Crew haven't demolished the stock pile. I'll have a quick check before we cast off and can always grab a few more from WAC if necessary. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swainiac Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Tom dont laff......................I have a photo tucked away somewhere of a mystery arse, I think Martin is going to post it as a monthly comp, if he has a prize to give away, failing that, I'll provide one just for the crack! Ooooooops......excuse the pun, none intended!!! Jokes aside Tom, what is the plan mate, as I'm now out for the duration untill we meet up on Tuesday. I'll need to sort gear. Plan B for me is to crash in Weymouth at BB's, if the lovely Mrs BB allows the old man and I out for sherberts after the Kidds comp on the Quay mon evening, that way I'm down in Weymouth ready to move early doors, and that leaves a seat free for extra food for the trip. Speak soon tom, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 sounds good aslong as i get a lift im fine with anything sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBettle Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Rich The Plan: 1) Sam gets a lift from me, Charlie A or Rich. 2) Charlie A provides a cuppa for us all at the crack of wotsit (about 06:00) at his before heading down to Weymouth for about 07:00 (I can drive us all, Charlie can drive us all or we go in two separate cars) 3) Quick Bacon Butty and another cuppa at te new place on the Quayside. 4) Check the boat to make sure, yes the guys have fueled her, yes we have plenty of leads. 5) Dash to WAC for any bits we may all believe we MUST have, but don't really need. 6) Beg, borrow, steal sandeels if we can (jelly worms, shads and stormies will do just fine otherwise) 7) If no sandeels head to the bill and get a few mackies as back-up and then steam some 20 + miles mid channel. 8) Bounce lumps of leadl and wriggly things or rubber things around large bits of rusty metal for the day in the "hope" we may find cod, pollock and possibly bass. 9) If we remember a pint of milk and some bottled water I may remember to make the odd cuppa during the day. 10) About 15:15, dehydrated, sun burned and either fishless or a boat awash with the stuff we head back, possibly stopping at the bill for some fresh mackerel to bring home. 11) Call Andy (fuel man) and force him out of the pub to give us a top up of go go juice. 12) Tie up and wash down the boat at about 17:00 before heading home. Tackle: Whatever you want, but I will be using: 12lb class rod Braid mainline 6/0 hooks for joeys, 4/0 hook for sandeel Storm lures, jelly's and shads Flying collar rigs and 20lb to 25lb amnesia hook lengths - short for cod, long for pollack (cod prefer the rubber stuff) mixture of leads to about 10oz. Bring your own sanrnies..... Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
