Yeh !! I'm talking historically...us 'old timers'. .....but I would love a decent perch ! Haven't had one since I used to go on fishing hols in Ireland .

....but most don't taste so good !! ...with a few exceptions....Perch are super ; zander and pike are good ...as are , surprisingly,... gudgeon ! Alun.

I don't mind either .

Forecast for Sunday is much improved,,,,,might that be a better day for more people ??

Merry Christmas everyone.....hope you are enjoying a decent break with family and friends. Best wishes for the New Year....with lots of calm days and adventures afloat...tight lines ! Alun.

I can't do Mon. Alun.

Very impressive sir !

last Sat was lovely....today isn't too bad....forecasts giving next Sat are showing GALES !!

Nothing for me....as I said above ...too old and small [??]

Well I've just dug bait....so Rich and I will find somewhere sheltered on Sunday....and have our own comp !! Then I'll look forward to the window on Weds [if it materialises !]....can't do Thurs !!! Alun.

Or..........how about next Weds [Christmas eve]...looks like a little window then ??

Over to you Neal

Definitely firming up as Sat the better day....with the wind easing a bit in the afternoon; whereas Sunday has it building steadily. Can we go for Saturday ???

Today....Sunday looks more windy !!...and Sat a little better. To get this fished before Christmas, can we go for whichever day looks better [ on Friday ] ?? Alun.

The forecasts for the coming weekend don't look too encouraging...BUT.... I think it would be better to fish for the trophy and hampers BEFORE CHRISTMAS. If is just a bit windy on Sunday [like the past two Sundays], I suggest we fish it. ! As many will be in Holes Bay, there's not much fetch there....and even in the rest of the harbour, there's some shelter from the Westerlies forecast. What do others think ?? Alun.

Ditto......but perhaps mine is too small or too old !!

How about keeping Sat or Sun as option for better day ? Today was lovely ...and we caught a good few flounders too !

No call on here......but tomorrow looks ok....so Rich and I are going tomorrow ....and leaving Sun to be wet and windy !!

Not looking good for Sunday !!! ....again !! Sat looks a lot better [well, a bit !].....are we tied to Sun ? ....or postpone to next Sun 21 st. ?? Alun.

Does anyone have any unwanted mackerel in their freezer ?? Doesn't matter how old !! Happy to collect ....or bring to meeting on Thurs. Alun.

Kev........I prefer to catch fish..than get all my gear covered in sand!

It's dangling again...several little carrots !

I don't think the tides matter that much for flounders. A couple of years ago we fished a similar tide and there were some nice big ones caught. I think it would be good to fish the Flounder match before Christmas if we want to include a hamper....and could be fished in most weather. Fix a date for that...and move the more weather dependent Cod comp around it. Alun.
