a bit like plaice fishing then ??

Hi Andy. It 's a little bit shallow but you should be ok apart from LW springs and/or High air pressure on other LWs. Water takes a bit longer to come in....so up to 1.5 hrs before LW and after 2,5 hrs on the flood. Rule of thumb...go for 1m on the Easytide graph. No cost to leave your trailer on the shore but car park is expensive [ £10 for 8 hrs]....but if you are early , you can park up on the main road near the Nelson pub. It gets [really] busy weekends in Summer...with lots of Jetskis. Alun.

Magic seaweed gives very little swell for Sunday

Good luck finding a flounder...or two.

I see there's a harbour boat comp for flounders based around Salterns marina on Sunday.

I can't do this Sunday ! ....You're safe from me ...can you find a flounder or two ?? Alun

Any idea what the netters are catching ?

that took a while !!

Looks like we are stuck in this run of strong West winds with plenty of rain. Tuesday's possible window is being blown out of the forecasts as Sunday's NW fails to lead to the brief northerly cold interval..... .....so fishing plans will rely on winds going S or SE ....and another hunt for harbour flounders ! Perhaps the extra freshwater in the rivers may help [??].

I will wait a bit longer before putting the hamper together !!

you may not catch any ! ....but you could try !....then let us know.

Could always go for flounders !!

I was stuck there yesterday and thought the same. Is it such a big adjustment?

I wonder if those above have turned around and come back in.? I was up early , looking to go out ...and saw E wind in double figures at 6 a.m. After a rubbish session in the harbour yesterday, all plans abandoned ! Alun.

I see the forecast for Sun has increased the E. breeze. Looks marginal [??] Alun.

What. about just a list of members...without contact details?

Has this disappeared now ?? Can't see it in Chit chat...contact details doesn't do it !

A better one caught today...[19 th.] 5 lbs 8 oz. Alun.

I'll just say.....Christchurch Bay.

Middle of the month and nothing reported yet ! So here's one to start it off. Caught yesterday [15th] 3 lbs 8 oz.

Plaice and chips for us tonight too ! Plenty caught...but mostly small ...[ish]......mackerel too !

Me too !! Probably bump into you Terry....on those plaice drifts Alun.

Back to the bass comp ! Why have we cancelled ??? Take or no take makes no difference ! We can still fish for bass [as I have been doing] . We fished it last year ...with the silly one fish limit... and we put most back. So this year we put all back !

Looks like the weather stalls the debate !! I'm all for running the comp .... in a week or two when summer returns. On the positive side....there seems to be a good number of small bass [ 1 to 2 lbs class ] out there....ripping into the shoals of bait fish..

Can't see any of these...can you post the pics?
