Alderney This Year?

[AlderneyBassman]

Just wondered if there was a club trip to over this side this year?

 

The fishing is certainly hotting up now. The banks nearer to the island are full of bass, albeit a bit small and the turbot & brill are also showing now. Had a PB turbot of 9-4 at the weekend (small I know but turbot are my nemesis!)

 

Now the water is clearing the wrecks are producing plenty of pollack to mid double figures.

 

I'td be nice to put names to faces if you are coming

there's a thread in the club members area but no conclusive dates!

 

if it wasn't guaranteed to be my last ever fishing trip (or any other) I would be heading over this weekend looking at the forecast............... I may just run over to Cherbourgh for dinner Sat night instead

 

if I make it I reckon it will be later in May and midweek - chances of a weather window matching work commitments plus fishing partner just doesn't seem to likely right now though..........and then of course there's the 48hr weekend

Duncan,

 

If you plan anything in the half-term week [28th. May ->], then I'd be available to crew/ share costs.

 

.........and [ hopefully] anytime from the end of July .......if retirement plans materialise!!

 

Alun.

I may see you in Cherbourg Duncan, I'm doing the monthly trolley dash/booze cruise on Saturday. Not overnight though, I'm supposed to be within 1 hour of the telephone exchange in case of a catastrophe!

 

Keep an eye out for a little bloke on a red orkney 21 with very little freeboard

Don't know if you went to Cherbourg Duncan,

I turned back as the conditions were decidedly lumpy to say the least!
