Mike Fox Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 After the last two weeks of skulking in the harbour, I was hoping for a trip further afield this weekend, but it is not to be. Is it just me, or are weekends particularly windy this year? Roll on the comp next week. I have 7 days holiday left over...on a use 'em or lose 'em basis. Am hoping for the odd trip midweek (avoiding the weekend gales) in the next couple of months - anyone need crew on a pollack/cod/whiting trip ?

Swainiac Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Mike, the first whiting are showing farther west, Weymouth direction. Numbers still seem to be thin on the ground outside Poole Bay. Another few weeks methinks. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can't find my yellow yachting wellies can I still come? Mike I might be up for a mid week session if you'll have me aboard Usualy I can do short notice as well. My only prob is my back and lack of flexibility, so I need to be able to get aboard fairly easily, but if this is not a prob for you and your esteemed craft gissus a shout. Mad Mike PS this is the second time I have written this. The last time, half an hour ago one of the bloody dogs sat on the surge isolator switch and turned every bloody thing off and I to re-boot and then get rid of several glitches!

Mike Fox Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 (edited) Thanks Rich! I see from Fred's posts that cod are starting to show too. Will see what we can find next weekend for the species comp! Mike, I would be more than happy to drag you out and I will give you a shout if I can snatch a mid-week day. Yellow wellies not required, 6 knots is about your lot, freeboard is fairly high but with handholds aplenty, and there is a steep ladder to reach the interior and the loo. I'm sure you'd be fine! Nothing esteemed about the craft...it's still a boat after all, merely a style you rarely see fishing. However, my record for catching large fish has not been good (2 tiny codling, no whiting over 6", no pollack much over 2lb), hence offering myself as crew for someone who actually knows how to catch them, and can reach them faster in these shortening days.
