Havent decided on dates yet, open to suggestions, or could wait until nearer the time to sus weather. Plan - similar to usual, meet Town Quay slip at 7am, back in for 5pm ish, and a swift beer at the Spyglass. Anyone fancy it? Quote

Newboy Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Ventnor is fishing well at the moment.My customer caught over 20 plaice last week. Quote
Swainiac Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Adam, best tides for the Plaice out on the Shambles is a 1.6 to a 1.8, so try and organise it for the smaller tides. The plaice re and have been shoing for a while now, but are still skinny. Early turbot have also been taken. Rich Quote

alun j. Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Adam, I haven't got tables for Weymouth, but Easter is always the first Sunday after a full moon [ Mon. 2nd.] and the last quarter is Tues after the Easter Mon. so..... .......tides will be bigger on Good Fri. and getting smaller over the weekend..... ...but how big ???? Alun. PS. I might just be able to 'do' Easter Mon. Quote

Adam F Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Posted March 19, 2007 Thank you!... ...bang on then, i'd say - all we need is some half decent weather. Quote
TomBettle Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 I'll be fishing the bank Good Friday and if we can get it booked, "Spring Cleaning", Quest II at Portland on the Saturday. Quote
Leicester Fisheagle Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 I picked up Fisheagle my new Orkney 520 from BHG the first weekend in March and despite two trips down from Leicester (boat kept at Bowleaze Cove) her maiden voyage was cancelled due to gales, the same again last Sunday. Will try again over the Easter weekend and hopefully the Towaway weekend will prove to be the third time lucky. As I need to get used to the boat, especially the fishfinder etc. and she needs running in, fishing will be a welcome bonus. As it will be my first trip with the Club I am looking forward to the opportunity to get to know a few more members and make more contacts. Quote
lady jane Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 with reference to the best tides being 1.6 - 1.8 at what size tides do you have to drag a weight to slow the drift down, i appreciate the wind also comes into play ? cheers andy Quote
Adam F Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Posted April 2, 2007 It's looking good! Who's coming then? I have crew already I'm afraid. Quote
Maverick Martin Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 "Awol" will steam up on either the Saturday or Monday, if the weather is good both days Martin Quote
TomBettle Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 If the water gets a little clearer then you should have a good day. Have fun guys and I hope you get some dustbin lids. Quote
