Sinbad Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Posted December 12, 2007 Paul As usual, it was in front of my nose, but since some kind webmaster suggested you could save the forums page as your favourites, I never look on the front page (sad I know....) I suspect others are equally inept as me Thanks again Paul Quote
charlieannear Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Do we have any weather predictions yet? Was looking a bit uncomfortable in the bay today. Quote
Wedger Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Do we have any weather predictions yet? Flooding tide all day and a stiff easterly................ Therefore my prediction is.. "You'll need bicycle clips and courtacy buckets around the deck I fear". Stay safe chaps........ sadly I'll be working again. Tight lines Quote
Fugazi Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Despite the usual dancing around their handbags most of the official predictions seem to be forecasting an easterly with wind speed from 10 to 17 mph. They are all still wrong as the empirical data recorded from my sea weed and pine cone weather station still indicates SE 4-5. Quote
Mike Fox Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 WEATHER REPORT Chaps - I know we've had some rough weekends lately, but this weekend is currently forecast to be similar to the end of this week. The current high pressure system has looked stable for a few days now, and there won't be very much movement in the isobars or fronts. Check out actual conditions tomorrow, and Sunday is likely to be similar. Latest forecasts are for cold, possibly misty or overcast, and SE3-4 or even E. Unless this changes appreciably, the comp in ON. If there is a late change, I will announce this on the forum, but I do not anticipate it. Mike Safety Officer Quote
duncan Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 yep - I have due East 13 knots for the next 4 days solid in Poole Bay; not unknown conditions but it may well be more comfortable out of the harbout from 1300h...... life was never easy having only ever caught 1 flounder in my life - by accident - this looks challenging for me!

TomBettle Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Hmmm This could mean the camera boat I am using and will be taking Spike Spears for a cruise on (10m long and twin shafts) could be staying in the harbour if that is where everyone will be... I am going to be writing an article about the comp so please could any spectacular (or half decent) catches be called in to me and I'll nip over and take a pic. ...Obviously with the boat I will be on, I won't be able to sneak to any secret marks in the reeds up the Wareham river etc. 07780687795 Cheers Tom Quote
great white Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Tom Will you be monitoring channel 6? and if so have you a call sign? I could try "Bessie Vee" but do not want to upset my old mate Spike Some shots of the new boat would be appreciated if you get any Charlie Duncan like you we only do accidental floundering but if needs must I suppose we had better give it a go.

We shall be on Ch 6, but under the name of Prestige (we will be on a Prestige 32). I shall be out for an hour or right at the start, but I'll be solo then and it will be to try and get a few pics of boats heading out, if you are going offshore let me know and I'll see if I can get some of Alfresco around Old Harry or maybe passing Brownsea Castle? If you (or anyone else) see's a 10ish metre flybridge boat behaving a little oddly don't panic too much, it will only be me (OK panic) trying to sneak over for a picture or two. If you don't want me around, tell me to bu@@er off and I won't take offence, but I shall do my level best not to get in the way at all. I'll be meeting Spike at about lunchtime and we plan to pop back out for an hour or so then to have a mosey around and hopefully get some pics of fish being caught. Spike and I should also be at the weigh in later on and then on to the Mariner centre for the prize giving. Tom Quote
AHoy Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 I won't be fishing the comp but will probably be out with the boat so will also try and get some photos of the action. Quote
Sinbad Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Posted December 14, 2007 Who is fishing then? Imagine - Paul Frey / Alun J Quote

Maverick Martin Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 "Awol" will be out with Dean, myself and maybe one other fishing aboard but not sure where yet? Martin Quote
Adam F Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Out of the Blue will be out with Greg (my brother) as crew. Fingers crossed we are able to get out of the harbour! Quote
Rob Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Myself and Paul Rowcliffe will be on JoJo. See you all tomorrow night! Rob Quote
Mike Fox Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 Folks - a front has moved in faster than was originally forecast, squeezing up the isobars, and upping the wind over original expectations. It's not enough to cancel, but all small boat skippers should review carefully and consider implications. Selsey Bill to Lyme Regis Strong wind warning 0348 Sat 15 Dec 1800 Sat 15 Dec Easterly winds will reach force 6 at times during Saturday morning and afternoon in more exposed water. Inshore waters forecast 24 hour forecast: 0600 Sat 15 Dec 0600 Sun 16 Dec Wind East 4 or 5, occasionally 6 at times. Sea state Moderate, occasionally slight at first. Weather Mainly fair. Visibility Moderate or good. Outlook: 0600 Sun 16 Dec 0600 Mon 17 Dec Wind East 4 or 5, increasing 6 at times. Sea state Moderate. Weather Fair. Visibility Good. Am glad I have my worms ordered..... Mike Safety Officer Quote
Swainiac Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 I will be taking Nipper out, with Gruffy, (Al Hughes), as crew. Plan B swings into action, as the weather front draws ever closer! Rich Quote
Sam Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 it's fine just hold on more and carry a sick bag sam Quote
