Gnasher Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Who is fishing it? It is my 1st comp in a while and i plan to be out Sat am until early hours of sunday morning, back in for a couple of hours kip and then back out early doors sunday. Looking forward to it already! Quote
great white Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Weather permitting Alfresco, Dan and I will be out I have crew for one day, where we want to go offshore so that will be the best weather window. but if anyone fancys a shorter trip or needs a ride on the other let me know. Charlie. Quote
Swainiac Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 It's my working weekend, so I will not be fishing, damn shame as the 48hr is the lardy boys fave comp of the year. Hope all who fish have a good weekend, stay safe and tight lines. Rich Quote
DommyBoy Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) Looks like just us & the great white crew then bro!!!!! I might even get in the top 5 then ha ha! Seriously fells, looking forward to a good competition and hopefully a top hauling session whilst enjoying the ever present banter. Take care guys and see you on the water on saturday!

Paul D Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 I am crewing for Gordon M on Friday evening. Might even be crewing for him on Saturday as well. Sunday I might have crew from work but will offer Paul R a crew space first. ( although 3 days afloat might be a bit excessive ). Quote
Neal Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 I will be out on Court Jester with John Young (and a couple of guests). Probably Saturday only as I am on a charter trip on Friday and 3 days in a row is pushing it, even for me! Neal Quote
Coddy Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Sorry can't do as I will be on holiday in Rhodes! Think the weather might be better there as well! Coddy Quote
duncan Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 anyone know if the Lulworth ranges are scheduled to be firing over the coming weekend? my 2008 leaflet is in the caravan - which is no use at all! all in a vain hope at my end but I need something to look forward to if a miracle does occur..............and bobbing about in that area for 48 hours looks good to me. Quote
Paul D Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Not sure if these times in the attached link are the same - but would appear to be. In which case you are OK this weekend. If they fire a shell at you Duncan then I will know they were not Firing Times ? Quote
alun j. Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 I'm pretty sure that they don't fire over the weekends at this time of year. When I used to take field work trips there.....weekdays were always blocked, weekends were always OK. Alun. Quote
duncan Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks Paul - look familiar. Alun - 6 weekends a year (outwith school holidays) have firing scheduled but it looks like they have increasingly focused these early / late and it's only the 20th July one that's likely to catch the boaters (autumn may affect use anglers though). Back's not going forwards so I don't think I will get down though. Quote
charlieannear Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 I'm pretty sure that they don't fire over the weekends at this time of year. When I used to take field work trips there.....weekdays were always blocked, weekends were always OK. Alun. Times have changed though. There are published dates as to when the ranges will be open to the public (i.e no firing), but if the Army decides more practice is required then the ranges might be used. All MOD ranges are in use far more often these days- always check! "Information about the range walks can be obtained from the Range Control Office (0900-1630 hrs Mon-Fri and during the weekends when the ranges walks are closed), Tel: 01929 462721 ext 4819/4859; or from the Guard room at any time, Tel: 01929 462721 ext 4824. " "Offshore the sea danger area extends up to six nautical miles offshore between Lulworth Cove and St. Aldhelm's (St. Alban's) Head. Vessels are asked to keep out of the area at firing times. Full details can be found in the leaflet The Lulworth Ranges - Information for Mariners 2006" Quote
duncan Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Full details can be found in the leaflet The Lulworth Ranges - Information for Mariners 2006" or even the 2008 guide now! Coast Guard office on the quay is a good source for these best but they may be out of them by now. I am happy to convert to a .pdf as a reference document for the site, and request any necessary permissions (although I think it states it can be freely distributed) if that's any use going forwards Paul?

DommyBoy Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) So who's in then: Dom Dan (Gnasher) Charlie Dan Paul D Gordon M Neal John Young Duncan Alun J ................anyone else? Feel free to add your names to the pot! Come on guys make it a good one, only a fiver to fish and you can fish as much or as little as you like......surely going to be a good crack over the airwaves on C6. Dom Edited June 11, 2008 by DommyBoy Quote
Maverick Martin Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Sorry the 48 hour comp is for club members only Martin Quote
DommyBoy Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 can forum members take part Tony mate, join the club proper and fish th match, its a good crack mate !!! Dom Quote
Fugazi Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Friday's out as I'm picking up my in-laws from the airport and Sunday were at a wedding, so the only chance I have is Saturday and that's not looking good. Hope the weathers kind and that all those taking part have a great weekend. Gordon Quote
DommyBoy Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Shame you cant make it Gordon but somethings take priority sometimes. If you can get for a few hours on sat then would be good to see you out there for a few hours! Dom Quote
Paul D Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 I almost get the impression that Dom thinks he can win this comp and wants a big a pot as possible If I get out Saturday with Paul Rowcliffe then you can add his name to the pot. However, depends on if I go fishing Sunday and/or what time we fish to on Friday. Quote
DommyBoy Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 You know it Paul, gotta little gem of a plan tucked up the magic sleeve..... !!!! Come on fellas......join in ! Quote
great white Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Now have crew both days Gordon and Alun with Dan and I Sat Bob and Adam with maybe young Rob , Dan and I on Sunday. I also believe Gary has crew on Prodigy, but I am sure they will book in soon Tight lines Charlie Quote
carl/overdraft Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Count me in on Overdraft with Aaron. Should be fishing Sat thro Sunday. can anyone help with some late evening marks near to X church. Hoping to have a go in the dark weather permitting. Carl. Quote
duncan Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 well myosteopath thinks it might be a good idea for me as R&R - but when I asked him to put it is writing for the FPO ............................ still the small matter of me actualy getting to Poole without sitting as well Quote
alun j. Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 Duncan, Hope you feel alright this morning [i note the late night!]. You could get the train to Poole, then the bus to Rockley.... and stand all the way! Alun. Quote
