Mike Fox Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Am itching to get fishing again, and Sunday looks good enough - probably NW3 or so, but possibly with some hefty showers. The tides are pretty big though, and after freelining bread flake, 2lb of lead is not a welcome prospect. Maybe a spot of rough ground/banks fishing off Swanage to seek something heavy at slackish water, with a move inshore to duck the worst of the tide as needed. Anyone else planning to be out there this on Sunday? Anyone been lately and can suggest a suitable spot? It's been over a month for me since I fished this area, and am a little out of touch. Would be nice to know what's out there, and who's out there, and keep in radio contact to help boost catches! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Mike, I will be out on Court Jester looking for the big blonde Rays. I will be out on the Whitehouse ground off Swanage Bay - however, if it is still going to be a family day, I want to pop back in and join everone at some point. Is it a big tide? - they have all seemed to be big for the last 3 - 4 weeks, I was looking forward to perhaps a nice set of Neaps. See you out there Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Neal, Low water Poole Entrance o8.37 and 21:00, and 0.9m and 1.1m above LAT. A middle of the road tide, with neaps next Thursday. Am told the edge of the Whitehouse Grounds is best - in the deepest water towards Anvil, but must admit to not having ever caught a blonde. One would be nice! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Was out today, Friday from Weymouth. Wind got up and sea state was lumpy to say the least and that was on a charter boat! Forecast is not good for the week-end, again! Unless the wind dies down I don't think I will venture out. Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Forecast now looking much windier with NW5. Unless there's some improvement, I might not be making it after all. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
