Hi Adam new member and never launched from a beech our fished the channel How long a trip is it from Poole? Do you all launch from the beech? What time is the meet and what time is the return Craig Quote
Manic Moore Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) Hi Craig Although its quite a long day, leaving about 6 and getting back 6 or 7 by the time the wiegh in is done. The beach launch is very simple, there will be 15 to 20 boats and they have their own tractor that takes all the boats for launch and the parking is quite cheap for the day including the trailer. There will be plenty of people to help and advice and you will get a local buddy boat if you want one to help with marks etc. The trip down takes just over a couple of hours and we go down in together so again plenty of help at hand. Its a great experience and the atmosphere is good to. It would be great to see some new faces at the event and to put up a good show on behalf of the club Any more questions please post to your hearts content Regards Gordon Enticer will be there Edited March 28, 2008 by Manic Moore Quote
Paul D Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Craig, Approx 2 to 3 hours from Poole if I recall. It is well worth going. First year I went we fished all the wrong spots and had no success. Second year, much better and we had plenty of action with Thornback's and Bull Huss, plus the odd strap conger. There is / will be plenty of advice on how to fish the channel ( If I can work out how to do it then anyone can ! ). Basically uptiding or casting as far away from the boat as you can seemed to do the trick. Launching is from the beach but nothing to worry about as the Burnham crowd have a tractor to launch us. On return last year the tide was quite well up adn I managed to retrieve off the side of the slipway. Adam will have more exact times ( and probably a more accurate idea of how long it took to trail up there ) but probably something like 6-30 AM / 7-00 AM at Tesco ? Neo will be attending. Quote
Gas Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 Looks like you can put our names down. Will need to see the route and the weather window? I am hoping to get to the meet on 03/04/08 and hope to find out more then. TA! Craig Quote
