alun j. Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I really look forward to getting out this time of year but am finding the weather always trying to stop me . Last w.end started fine but soon turned stormy [ again] despite forecasts. This coming one is forecast to be rough ...... so let's hope for the reverse. Already Metcheck is flagging Sunday as being better and BBC is all over the place! If winds are in the South and not too bad, I might try to get out of Lymington and fish the Solent on the neap tides [ so might be able to use less than 1 lb. leads]. Anyone like to join me on Gastronaught ?...... subject of course to the better weather arriving. Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britboard Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) Hi Alun, I was looking to get out this coming weekend but if its looking a bit swelly would you care to join me as i was planning to bring another friend with me, the weather cant quite make its mind up at the moment it gone from very rough to moderate, so lets hope it keeps improving. Anyhow it must be my turn to lose an anchor Simon L Edited November 22, 2006 by britboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi Simon, Thought you'd be busy , packing shorts and sunglasses! Let's see what the weather gets up to ........ if someone else fancies a trip, we can buddy - boat ; I fancy that mark in the Solent may hold a few cod and whiting as well as bass, ray and inevitable doggies and pout. Tides look good, with a 'gentle neap' flooding all morning after a 7 am low.; no probs. with launch / retrieve any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alun j. Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Terry, Prayers not working ......... having to abandon any plans , as :- i)...... wind seems set to stick in the SW for Sun. morning ii) ..... I'd forgotten to check calender and found there's a family event based around Sunday lunch .......... so I'll save some Brownie points and await a nice big anticyclone to calm down this weather Simon, As you are getting good at coping with bouncing about.......... hope you get a good day; let me know how you get on if you try that 'anchor-grabbing' mark. Gordon, You're on....... if the weather machine is off. Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
