Well done Kev...... another great flounder.!! Alun.

The Bar at Mudeford was pretty hairy for a few hours on Fri morning....so you prob did best !!

and......

Kev aked me to post these for him....

I see the weather is shaping up to be windy for this ...again !! But the big difference is that forecasts are giving it coming from the North[ish] and cold !! If this holds, will you still fish it ....on the basis that we can find some shelter ? Alun.

But looks like it'll be good all weekend ....if you can believe it this far out ???

No word here.........but I'm assuming tomorrow is OFF , again ! Any thoughts on next date ?? Signs are that later next week, things settle down a bit [ horray !!!] ...but that Sun , the 6 th, has a small , neap tide. How about going for the following...13th ??? ......or do you want to discuss at Thur's meeting ?? Alun.

Not quite that long !! Could be a break in the wind coming later in the coming week. ....but will it be fishable ?? ....and what to go for ??

Ooops.........I meant 'later' ...bleary eyes !!

A bit far off .... but seems to be latter rather than shut. Like the carrot on the stick....hope it doesn't move forward as we get nearer !!

pm sent.

Have a great Christmas........ shame we can't get out Cheers everyone! Alun.

....not so lovely if you were on that water.....in a small boat ....bumpy !!

How about the following Sunday ??? This one is looking terrible !!

Next week is starting to look WORSE !!

OOOpppssss......

Well done Kev. !! We were just testing out that shoulder of yours ....before you pull some more big flounders [ Sunday??] Although cold above the surface, sea temp still up above 8 C ..and bass still feeding ! Alun.

Elfords Marine

Yes.........I've had those too......just delete !!

Looking good for tomorrow.......could be a cold start though !! I'll be out [ early..ish] ...but prob not after what most of you will be seeking!! Ch. 6 will be on. Good luck to others...this window doesn't last long ! Alun.

Have to have something to look forward to !! Although it will turn colder, it looks like today sees the back of this heavy rain.... and winds turn to the North. Even though they are forecast as brisk, it should flatten the sea [well inshore at least !]. I wonder how long it will take all the heavy brown turbidity to fall a bit clearer ?? Prospects for the end of the week at least !! Alun.

I was lured out by the calm interlude ....what a mistake !! Swell was lively on the Bar as I pulled up...but looked OK in the deeper parts. Inside, the harbour was flat as a millpond, but dirty brown, with lots of debris and a horrid , pervading smell of drains !! Tide was ebbing [which kicks up the Bar a bit more] but negotiated a few rollers with no issues. Bit of surf on the Beerpans, so took the long route, out and around. Tied under the Head for bait, but water so brown ... and that swell was so uncomfortable at anchor......managed just one doggie. With frozen bait in reserve, went for a few drifts. Not a breath of wind but the big swell persisted.........and it didn't feel right going up and down so much.......and I wasn't feeling so good going up and down so much !!! So called it a day [morning] and got in before water went on the Bar. Thought I'd have a go for flounders inside.....but horrid smelly water was pouring out and the remains of last week's worms had self-destructed !! ....it didn't look good.....so home for coffee. and early lunch. Better luck next week. Wonder if James got out ?? Alun.
