I think the weather is going toblow it out.........again.!!

Adam, I have two onion sacks if you'd like them ?? Weather looking less settled than previous forecast !!

Thanks mate !!

I had been out a little while before Rob showed up !! It was breezier early on and gradually eased a bit during the later morning and was pretty flat by early pm, when I had to go !! [ usually it's the other way about !!] As Rob said, finding the small bait-size fish wasn't easy, but the few I had produced several dropped runs [ from small fish I think in my case....but didn't see them]. Eventually managed to contact two....... but smallish fish. Recent observations [and ear to the ground detection] indicates that at the mo, in my neck of the woods, there seems to be the odd big fish about, but most are small and not in any numbers ..yet !! Certainly better sport further afield !! Alun.

You can't creep up on the bass in thede 'monsters' !

Forecast I'm looking at looks great for next weekend !!

Now taken !! Don't worry Adam............ the Jones boys can be much more particular and meticulous about boats than other aspects of appearance !! ........ and we'll cope without that deckwash !! You'll have to go via Iceland for a 'live' report !! Alun.

If anyone is free at short notice, there is a possibility of a seat on JV, going out to the Rips tomorrow .... and see if those cod are catchable on the bigger tide ! Post or pm me. Looking to go about 8 or just before...... back with the flooding tide sometime after 5.30. Alun.

Don't know Rob !! Never tried there before Sept. Alun.

Simon was very impressed when I showed him the details ....... and rushed off and bought it ! He will probably be following me on a few bass drifts .......soon !! Alun.

some use a treble hook !! ............ not my recommendation !! What do you think Craig ??

Kayakers........have a talk with Mark at Alderney Angling....... he has got into it recently and was raving about it and the possibilites around the island. A lot is down to local knowledge of the tides to be able to use the flows and slack water.

Always good to see a 'Happy Tom !!' Well done that man.

Great report Charlie......it will certainly make many in the club keen to come on the next trip. You give an excellent account of the things, other than the fishing, that make the trip so enjoyable......... I, for one, will be looking forward to June 18 and getting twitchy with weather forecasts as soon as it's in range !! Brilliant !!

We had Gurnard tonight .......... for a change !! Cod or Turbo tomorrow !! ??

Enjoyed first Turbo for [late] supper with asparagus and bottle of N.Z. Sauv. Blanc. Bloomin' marvelous !!! ....... they won't last long !!

Terry, You are welcome to stop over with me on Weds if that helps. Alun.

Forecast looking good !!

I'm sure you can add JV's crew....... ...so 3 to your tally. Alun.

Wish I could.......but someone [ ^ ]'s grabbed my day !! Looks like being a nice one ..... hope to see some good fish caught! Alun.

.........and today \ this evening........ it looks lovely .......... hope it stays like that !!

Metcheck are now giving a call for May 20 th. !! You don't want to look at it yet... it bears no semblance of the nice weather I am expecting !! Alun.

Birthday greetings Charlie and Dave.......... shame the weather has turned YUK !! Let's hope for improvement for next weekend. Meanwhile enjoy your day and a long weekend. Cheers, Alun.

Adam's away at the mo....... but I'm sure you can add 3 more from JV. Thanks Terry.
