Species Hunt - 1st July **revised Date**

[Mike Fox]

News: Adam and I independently came to the same conclusion, slightly earlier than we had expected - the competition on Sunday is OFF, and will be deferred. Adam will post the revised date shortly.

 

The prevailing Inshore Forecast is here:

Look at how close the isobars are on the synoptic charts that cover the inshore forecast period:

Then scroll through to see the synoptic charts for the rest of Sunday. Isobars equally tightly spaced, more fronts, etc.

 

At the time of posting, Sunday info is not yet available from our Met Office, but I would anticipate SW-S 5 or 6, blustery showers, with gusts of 25-30 knots. That occluded front with the Low right over us could also mean Moderate to Poor visibility as well.

 

Please note that it is the competition that is off. If you wish to continue fishing in your own boats, this remains the judgement call of each skipper, as ever.

Corsica and East Germany look great.

 

Adam! Your call on a trailaway?

Following through to the last barometric chart although there is a low mid Atlantic to the SW of us, there is the beginings of a ridge of high pressure building up between the Bay of Biscay and the sw approaches of the UK. This if it continues to develop could mean a few days of good weather in about a weeks time.

If you're wrong, I know where you live! Remember, before making rash statements like this, you're dealing with desperate men.

I will have to get out on Sunday!!

 

I can't go 4 weeks without a fresh fish in my pan!

 

Cockles this evening do not count!

[great white]

I think I had better put the scaffold back up and the covers on

 

Perhaps that would bring the good weather back

Well they forecast gales...... but it hasn't got above 8 mph here; plenty of rain though, about on forecast.

 

I hope it does the same tomorrow!! Not being made of sugar, I don't mind the rain, but being bumped about by the wind is so tiring.

 

Fingers crossed to get out for the morning tomorrow!

If you do decide on a trailaway, you can carry on for a bit East, the fishing is great over here at Hebe Bay too, low 30's, but a little wet, large snappers, bream of some sort and groupers being caught just off shore ......
