cascars Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hello all After 7 months on WSF and a few chats with TomBettle I thought it was time I had a look in here. Some of you will know me from WSF but for those that dont, I live in Tonbridge, Kent and have about 40 years of boat fishing behind me in my 46 years. I have had my own boats for about 20 years and in February this year took delivery of a Quicksilver Pilothouse 640. My first choice of port is Rye followed by Newhaven but I have been known to trail it to more distant places. In May this year I spent 5 days in Weymouth with 3 buddies and although the fishing wasn't great we had a great time and I also added a new species to my list, a 2 1/2lb Sea Trout caught on a plug. In September I took Sea Mistress to Dartmouth for 6 days with the same crew and similar results, not a lot of sizable fish, but we enjoyed ourselves which to me is the whole point of fishing. Our plan next year is to spend 5-6 days in Poole, dont know when yet, which is where you lot come in! I may well bring the boat down for a few day trips out as Poole is only a 2 1/2 trip for me, so that at least I will have a bit of local knowledge. Although I have a few friends in Poole that I have visited over the years, I have never fished there and am looking forward to it and hopefully meeting a few of you. Tom assures me that you are a friendly bunch on here, so I hope that you can put up with me grilling you for local tips and if I can return the favour just ask. If any PBSBAC members are ever up my way you are more than welcome to come out on the boat for a trip, just PM me. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hi Terry, Let us know when you are coming and im sure we can arrange a posse to give you the guided tour. Keep an eye on the Forum Calender and try to co 'ordinate it around one of our comps. The 48 hour summer comp is a good one as we are usually out fishing all weekend Paul J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if you did a trailaway trip up here and I could show you around a few of the wrecks out of Rye. I look forward to meeting up, maybe at the november comp Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cascars Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I hope I can make it, sounds a more civilised comp than the ones my Herne Bay club organises! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Welome aboard, Terry, the best small boat fishing club on the net. I personnally would love a trail down to Sussex..........my family hailed from there, Hastings in fact, grandfather being a fisherman back in the days when men were men, and women were glad of it. Isnt Rye Bay where that huge Plaice in the museum in hastings was netted? 16lbs if I recall correctly??? Look forward to seeing you out there.....trail down for our open comp, and bring a few buddies. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBettle Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Terry If the boat is out of action and being repaired, stick with it on here and give some of your usual sound help and advice and I feel sure that one of our fellow competitors will makes space on their boat for you.

Adam F Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 HI Terry - I have also spoken to you on WSF. Welcome to the club's forum. It looks the like guys are keen to do a trail-away, and I'm more than happy to organise one. What time of year would be best? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascars Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Due to the weather being so unpredictable for the next few months and the distance you have to travel I would wait until next year, May to September is best for most species. Most of my fishing is on the wrecks out of Rye, of which we have many within 10 miles of shore but they can be very hit and miss. If no luck within 3-4 drifts there is normally another within 15 minutes or so.I also know of some very good wrecks 15-25 miles out for Bass, Cod and Pollack. From Rye there is also plaice fishing on some banks only 3 miles along the coast and less than 3 miles out, which from late April throw up quite a few around 3-6lb. If Newhaven is more suitable for you there is a wide variety of fishing within 9-10 miles although the better wrecks are 15-25 miles off. You also have Beachy Head only about 8 miles away for Bass etc. I tend to avoid Newhaven unless fishing for 2 consecutive days as they charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swainiac Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Terry, welcom to the club.

If you want to fish the Open Comp, and believe me we have a huge prize table, post in the club comp section, aqnd ask to crew for someone. Im sure you will get a seat. Tight lines.........
