shytalk Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 you can fish the hood but not dive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted August 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 What do we think about the weather for Sunday then?? Long range suggests at least F3, with hints of 4. Direction is SW. Not being a regular Weymouth visitor Im not too sure on what conditions the Shambles are fishable in? I would suggest no more than what is forecast at least? Shall we have a straw poll...Ill then contact the eel man and sort out our bait. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent had a chance to get manatees o/b looked at since it played up at the 48hr comp Les Looking at these two postings , then the weather and knowing that we have a birthday bash at home the night before, I think I might be cowardly and back out. I don't mind getting the 'Killer Looks' from the Dear Lady Wife if it's a warm and sunny days fishing but............ Forcast is for 13/15mph SW winds with torrential rain and bloody cold (14deg). So may I please make a tactical withdrawal from the crew list. Knowing 'sods law' Sundays weather will now be tropical calm!!

shytalk Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 you need to look harder for a more favourable forecast , theres sure to be one somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviduk Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 What ever the weather their will be fishing in the lee of Portland and i would guess that with no dive activity on the hood a few more congers must be in residence now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Adam, I will wait until a bit nearer Sunday to decide if weather will be OK for me. Of course I now need a crew member as my allocated one has wimped out Mind you if it's F4-5 you won't see me out there - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afishionado Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 I don't know if you guys have seen the forcast for Saturday? It is forcast to be sunny all day with gentle breezes! Mad Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 As long as the forecast doesn't get worse than a s/w 3/4 then Maverick will go as planned, even if we have to find shelter closer inshore. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Best of luck on the trail away, I have a weeks regatta starting Sunday, so am hoping to get out on GW with the boys on Sat. During the holiday they have read up on wreck fishing and want a go, but I suspect it will clash with divers. so we will be on a reef or Sandbank west of Swanage instead.

Adam The site I usually use gives S4-5 along with plenty of rain and the Synoptic Chart for midday Sunday suggests the same. I don't think the bank is the place to be in a small boat in those conditions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted August 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 We will wait until sat before making the final decision - unfortunatly this means that I cant pre-order the eels, as it is unfair on the chap. Just seen the forecast this morning and it looks reasonable for sat at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted August 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I could do Sat at a push...but same as you..need crew. Shall we decide 2moro evening? Failing Weymouth, could always do a trip from Poole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob F Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 ...but don't let this stop you all going out on Saturday. Go for the best day, weather wise. Bob F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
