alun j. Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 Even this far out it looks very unlikely it will be calm enough th fish this next Sunday. Is it possible to put up an alternative date as soon as poss so some of us can mark our calendars ?? Alun. Quote
Adam F Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 You beat me to it Al. I agree. I suggest we move it 1 week to the 29th Nov. Adam Quote
Maverick Martin Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 Is that a definate move this far in advance is is this just a back up date? Martin Quote
Adam F Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 Is that a definate move this far in advance is is this just a back up date? Martin A little too early to make the call, but looking at Windguru, maybe not! I'll make a call by Weds. Looks pretty dire for the weekend Quote
great white Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 Back at work today, for a rest after working at home for three days Just checked the bournemouth surf report [magic seaweed] website which usually gives a good indication for what we get. Sat winds peak at 46 MPH Sunday at 47 MPH I think the Cod will be left well alone, and I will be working at home again. Charlie Quote
pirky Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 Following week looks a bit better at 14mph (METCHECK)........but even Ben footie could be called off because of the rain we are supposed to be having....... I hope weather improves for you lucky ones.. That should cheer GAS up a bit !! Dave Quote
Adam F Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) It looks crap I'll eat my hat if it is fishable on Sunday! Therefore COMP IS POSTPONED The new date will be Sunday 29th. Edited November 18, 2009 by Adam F Quote
great white Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Good call Adam I am afraid we will not make the 29th That is unless Sam and I can talk HMS Kent into a stop off of Poole. I am joining him onboard at Plymouth, for the last night of his six month deployment and a trip along the coast to Portsmouth. I hope the weather is better Charlie Quote
Sinbad Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Charlie, I'm sure you'll be celebrating anyhow, but make sure there are no coins in the bottom of one of your cans of stella, or we might not be seeing you for 6 months or so....hee hee Paul Quote
biggcol Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Don't worry Charlie I'm sure even the press gang has an upper age limit I'dsay you are safe. Colin Quote
great white Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 Don't worry Charlie I'm sure even the press gang has an upper age limit I'dsay you are safe. Colin Thank god for that I hope that the wind has eased a bit, its been a long time since I last went along the South Coast on a warship. But 1 day from home after six months away I am sure they will not be letting rough weather keep them from getting to Pompey. Charlie Quote
petesnr Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 Surely you could sneak a telescopic rod on board and dangle a shad over the side. These old fishermen--no dedication! Seriously--have a great trip. Pete Quote
alun j. Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Posted November 23, 2009 Can you believe it ?? It's actually looking promising for next Sunday !! It might be a bit damp.........but light Westerlies are in the forecast !! Here's hoping that holds true ...... and the [residual] swell is not too bad. Will some better weather bring more out to fish the comp.?? .... or are you all busy preparing for Christmas?? Alun. Quote
Fugazi Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 If the weather really is calming down then I'm certainly going to be taking Fugazi out to fish the competition. Not been out since the last forecast of F3-4 westerly about a month ago. We ended up coming back in a F6 that resulted, in amongst other things, snapping two carbon fibre rods in half including my Super Kenzaki 6-12lb boat rod. Looking forward to trying out new rod and christening new landing net. Gordon H Quote
Adam F Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 Dont get your hopes up too early! Windguru is giving it nasty still! Lets keep our eyes peeled towards the end of the week. Quote
alun j. Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Posted November 24, 2009 Well !! Today, Sunday is looking even better !! Can the forecast last?? Here's hoping!! Alun. Quote
great white Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 I hope you are right Alun although if postponed another week all the Chapmans could fish Hope you all get out, we are due in Pompey at 10 so should be in Club waters during the comp. Tight lines Charlie Quote
alun j. Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 It would be a hard call if you had to call it today!! ... completely confused!! Alun. Quote
Gas Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 although if postponed another week all the Chapmans could fish And so could Jackie And I Tight Lines if you all get out. Quote
Mike Fox Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 The entire crew of Frisky is grounded this weekend too... Mike PS We need a cod for the species comp ! Quote
Maverick Martin Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Were not and raring to go if only the weather would let us Martin Quote
Wight Magic Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 I am up for it weather dependent but will need crew Cheers Dave Quote
biggcol Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Likewise for me and Bobi we could make it if it's put off for another week. We have a gig Sun evening and will be setting up in the afternoon. Colin Quote
alun j. Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Posted November 26, 2009 Weather is looking less and less promising for Sunday !! When do you make the call Adam?? Alun. Quote
