  1. Anyone else noticed how early morning forecasts look worse......then get better later in the day ??
  2. Hi All......with the current forecast, I think JV is looking to go across on Fri afternoon; hopefully with a following sea. This will give us the evening in Alderney, a decent night's kip and full days fishing Sat and Sun. Any others thinking the same........or are we looking at Sat ??
  3. I see everyone's keeping quiet over the weather forecast !! I think things will be settling over the weekend as High Pressure builds. Should get a following breeze to push us across [??]. Sat onwards keeps changing.......but fingers crossed.
  4. So generous............for someone unable to join us !!
  5. That 4th photo.........is def a dogfish. Spots vary.........but bullhus have much more pronounced nasal flaps
  6. Looks like the model with decreasing N winds is holding ! javascript:emoticon('')
  7. Many Happy Returns for the day..... Looks like a bit of a change in the weather has come with it. Great age to retire...........if you can !!
  8. Too good to be true ??? Had a peek at Metcheck [ notoriously hopeless at this range !!] .......after yesterday giving gales and frost [!!]........now giving Northerly winds easing through next week, to leave a gentle N to take us there; light breezes for the weekend and a gentle Southerly tp bring us back !! They must be picking up Adam's brainwaves in their forecasts !!
  9. looking at a few possible windows during the week........ .....but after all this rain, the water will be very murky.
  10. so small......'window' seems inappropriate. I'll be out hoping the ''chink' of opportunity opens up a bit.
  11. .............. [ "whats on the end of the rope coming out the rear?? "] .....mackerel feathers ??

    Anchor size

    That Bruce should be OK...... with a decent length of chain... about 8m.
  13. ............amd the water taxi ??
  14. You should have done your usual marks !!...... Southbourne was completely flat this morn..... with an off the shore NE breeze.........absolutely no surf or swell.
  15. Tomorrow seems to give the only window for the week !! ....and it's looking better this evening than during the day today !! I shall be out .... mostly trying for bream...... despite the poor reports. Anyone else ???? Small tide......out with the ebb; in with the flood......I like that .... I can be very 'Eco-friendly' !! Alun.
  16. Jo will be getting jealous !! I remember one boat called Enticer had to go over 'Love' issues !!
  17. a few yesterday on the Shambles
  18. I did manage a nice bass despite paucity of bream
  19. Have a good day............many happy returns. Alun.
  20. I'll be out tomorrow.........in stealth mode ! ....at eastern end of the bay. I'll keep Ch 6 on. Alun.

  23. Count me in for the Harbour Lights on the Sun....... and the Moorings for the Sat. I like the walk up the hill...... and enjoy a steak at the Marais Hall; so that will be my preferred option for the Fri.

    Mudeford Run

    It will be easier soon.........when the red and green buoys go in. You'll be surprised how narrow the 'channel' is...... but, as Nick says, it is close to 2m for most of the middle section.....though you go very close to the bank.!!
  25. ....BUT..........it is the 'middle' sized fish that are the 'fittest' fish, in reproductive terms. !!
