Neil the fuel polishing and filter cleaning will be just in time for nature doing it's own sea water filtering. The water has cleared and the fish should be coming on the feed after the breeding season is coming to a close and May rot filtering out. Enjoyment will come after getting over some teething problems and a T H deal out of your system.👍

I think it is safe to say Saturday's weather has not changed for a while and is a NO GO situation. Sunday's weather is still improving and a close watch will be kept on this situation.

Welcome to a great club, put in some effort and rewards will come.👍

Is he bringing rum and a thong as usual 😂

just your birthday suit mate.

Fishermans café 3 breakfast baps booked for Madness to be collected on the quayside, add your order by phoning Clare on 01202 673899

Starting to get excited, probably won't sleep until Friday in anticipation. Watching the weather and working out how to feed the troops, we might be on a high protein low fat module this weekend except at the bar.😂

Those pesky Easterlies will not go away. Keeping an eye on those gusts over the weekend.

Kin is normally family, not sure if that helps Or am I being very uncool man.🤣

Weather window for Sunday looks to have worsened, looking iffy for comp. Will check at 6pm

WEATHER UPDATE. The Saturday forecast is not looking good. I think that is a no go. The Sunday forecast is a small window of opportunity . Who is signed up for Saturday??? Who is planning for Sunday??? Could be quite choppy in the swash channel if it goes south easterly as predicted also with a swell from the Saturday.

Mick I think your referring to the percentage above 100%.

Unlikely Jerry as we could postpone till later.

Weather watch has begun for the spring species competition. The low pressure weather system that is dominating at the moment is moving away to the southwest on Friday but it may not be quick enough to salvage our weekend competition. The wind will be ENE and is averaging around the 15mph with gust's to 24mph. This needs to improve to hold the competition. There is still time for some change, let's hope so.

Happy birthday Tony

What are we doing to the planet????? Who discards all this plastic rubbish. If a bit of plastic bait wrapper is blown off my boat I am disgusted with myself. When driving down the road I see youngsters tossing wrappers out of the window of the dads car, why do they think thats ok???

Happy birthday Dean.

See my post on cod comp again.

The competition is cancelled due to an increasing forecast and lack of entrants. The larger boats would have too much of an advantage over the small boats. I think it will be nice early doors if you fancy wetting a line but be prepared to retreat inside the harbour at midday. Sorry everyone. Safety first.

The wind has moved around to the SW, that will be warmer but could increase in speed. Lets hope not.

Happy birthday Martin have a good one😊

Sunday's weather is a small window between high winds before and after. The window could disappear rapidly so keep watching this post. The sea conditions might also be quite rough as there is not much time for the sea to calm down.

Getting back to the facts, the Danish Fleet and several others have been misreporting by up to 1000% on Bycatch, subsides are still being paid to fishers not meeting the regs. One fisher caught 5 times for mis reporting with no sanctions. I know we are no better. The size of fleet and advanced technology they use is factory sized shipping and huge quantities. Ring fence our countries coastline and lets manage our own fleet and not all European fleets. Something went wholesale wrong this year with the Cod stocks, similarly the mackerel in past years. Some one is intercepting them on migration and wiping them out.
