Osprey Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Two trips to report from a new boy! I promise they won't be so long next time but Wednesday's trip was so comical I have to share it Wednesday last week was a solo trip, and with a force 4 Northerly forecast, I took the opportunity to try the Western Solent. Tried off Sowley first, and despite a fairly brisk breeze, fishing conditions were excellent. However the fishing wasn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Nice one Martyn always good to read reports that fish are about sometimes those solo days work ouit and sometimes it just seems everything goes against you, but well done for getting three cod on in the first place. In that weather you did better than most to even wet a line. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnasher Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 nice one mate. Was there much weed about? I would have thought most would have gone by now, but i know there was plenty still in the solent 2 weeks back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBettle Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Nice one Martyn Keep the reports coming, they are great to keep us all wishing we were out there too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osprey Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Thanks for your replies guys Dan, yes the weed was quite a problem down the western end. The boat was plastered in the stuff by the time I packed up. But it was not nearly so bad east on Friday. I get the impression it's getting worse each year - or am I just getting old and grumpy??? (No need to answer that! ) Charlie, re the weather, I was very surprised to have made it both days in what turned out to be very good conditions. I'm glad I went and tried! Weather window coming up - but big tides. mmmmm! Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
