No fishing this week............or for as long as I can see!! ...WIND !!! Poor Rob............looks like he's got to find yet another date .... each one brings a different action-plan..... could be cod next time!!

Keeps changing every 5 mins !!! Fingers crossed

Quote........." so here's hoping for a very windy 9th Oct wink.gif wink.gif wink.gif wink.gif "......... Looks like Colin and Adam will be pleased with the forecasts now calling all this week as windy.... and next Sunday being as bad !! We all know how these calls can change !!! ....but poor Rob, if he has to rearrange all again !! ....it could be a cod \ flounder comp after all ! Alun.

I was fishing Weymouth \ Shambles way today ......loads of boats enjoying the super weather. Tides dictated a varied approach......... bassing in the Race to start, then on to bream mark.........before getting the big ragworms out for the plaice. We got a good spell of action in the short tide-window; 6 to me , with best at 1 lb 12 oz. Then on to the banks to finish the day looking for the bigger flatties; no turbot today, but I did get two brill, with the better one weighing 4 lb 10 oz. Great day to be out....... Shame Adam was too unwell to join us .... and Bob didn't quite get his gear together !! [ but I'm not saying any more on that !!!] ....but he will be more focussed next week [if Open gets under way!]. Alun.

If there's a list somewhere, add my name ... and my brother Ian.

.....So a 'yaker could win all three trophies with one good fish !!

Sunday's comp is a Bass comp ......... best specimen bass wins; club trophy for best specimen [bass], BASS trophy for best specimen caught and released.

1. Alfresco Charlie + crew TBC 2. Graham (Little Sal) + one crew TBC 3. Alun J. with Rob F. .....boat t.b.c.

Dave........ by my maths, your pollack was a better fish than Kev's cod !! Well done on both !! You've shown me the way with those pirks !! I found them easier to use over the wrecks than the jellies. Alun.

Well done Adam..........great report, super pics and excellent skippering! Agreed on 2012........let's just pick a nice smooth couple of days...[for a change!!]. Really enjoyed the fishing.... the company .. and general banter. I thought the marina \ location \ facilities made the trip hassle-free and convenient ...just a few paces from the centre of Cherbourg. Alun. PS....judging by how I feel today, I know why it's called 'Wrecking' !!

Many Happy Returns....... ...and CHEERS !! Alun.

Well done Martin ......... turbot - sized fillets !! That will be a record fish that stays on the book for a long time to come. Alun.

cool.gif Weather window looking good for Monday ..........bit far in advance to be confident of yet !! .....but I'm also looking at it !!

Is that because of the big tides ??

So I'll have to try Solo this morning on Gastro !!

It will !!!

At the mo........I'm looking at ..VERY .. early !!

I'll be out.........looking to trail down to Portland ... early!!

I saw this on Mark's site at Alderney Angling..........I thought he'd had a problem with his new boat !! ......but NO !!......just circulating the humour!

.........." ..But I'll be looking for a chef....Just like Charlies got wink.gif ".. .....you could always invite me for that role !! .....and I'm local !! Alun

Yes.......I'm hoping that holds!! I expect I'll be out bassing.......inshore[??] Alun.

..........Oh !!........avoid Sunday!

Derek. You need to get up and out early to find calm weather thgis weekend.. Both days start OK, then blow up a bit later in the morning!!

Many Happy Returns Charlie.......enjoy the rest of the day. Alun.
