Leicester Fisheagle

Happy New Year Colin. You are always welcome out on Fisheagle. Free trip if you manage to catch a Cod. Allan.

Reckon it is about 100 to one off the IOW Allan.

Weather permitting, Fisheagle will do both the Club and Andy's Shop Comp. with Myself, Dave L. and Ray Ashby (non member). Allan.

Fisheagle hopes to venture out on Monday, 24th. and Thursday 27th. Dec.Is anybody else out? Allan.

Andy has asked me to remind people about his Shop Cod Comp. on Sunday 30th. 2018.

Happy Birthday Neal. Have a good one.

Decided to give tomorrow a miss. Good luck to anyone who gets out.

Thanks for the report Mick. Holes Bay had netters there this morning.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

If the weather holds for this Tuesday, Fisheagle will probably venture out for a few Winter Species. Anybody else likely to give it a try? Allan.

Fisheagle hopes to get out of the Harbour this Tuesday morning for a few Winter species. Hope the sea is calm and fog free. Hopefully, in the afternoon, we can try for one of those elusive Flounders. On Ch 6.

Thanks for the advanced warning, If we wait for the Cod, there may never be a Comp. Allan.

Already done. Allan.

Dave, given the current forecast, your picture could be one of the last ones taken. Allan.

Strange, we left on the 7.30 am. The Operator could not have been more helpful. He asked us if we knew a about the New Shedule brought in on Saturday and offered to send it to my phone. When asked about the air draft indicator which was switched off, he gave me the hight showing in his hut over the radio so there must be a back up. These Bridges are proving to be a real pain. Allan.

Found out yesterday morning that they have introduced a New Maintenance Lift Shedule.Some are only every two hours. 2018-37-Poole-Bridge-Lifting-Schedule.pdf

Fisheagle was phoned around 8 am. by Neal to say they were coming back in due to rough weather just as we were setting off so, macky and other frozen bait returned to the freezer. Spoke briefly to Chris on Kingfisher and decided to fish the harbour. Tried the Ferry Terminal, Island and several other places in the Harbour. The wind did us no favours. A fair number of different species were caught but not the ones we wanted. The neap tide probably had a lot to do with things, especially the total lack of Flounders. There were also a good number of crabs about but very little weed. On the positive side, I was glad we went out as we got plenty of fresh air and the boat got a good run. Allan

Hi Greg, will be out on the 9.30 Bridge. Hopefully it will be clearer by then. Will give you a call before we leave the Harbour to see what it is like where you are. Do you have AIS? Allan.

In order to avert a serious bout of Cabin Fever, Fisheagle will venture out this Friday. Hope to get a few miles offshore, if not, it looks like worm drowning in the harbour. On Ch 6. Allan.

Will probably head over about 4.30 pm. On Weds. 21st. Novenber to North Haven Yacht Club. Is there any one else going? Allan

Happy Birthday Oli, have a good one.

Fisheagle has not been out for a while due to holidays and poor weather. Given the tides, a few hours on the Sadler or 50's this Friday should give us a few fish. On Ch. 6. Allan.

Have a great Day Steve.

As new Penn Fathom reserved. Brand new one still available.

A couple of my rod handles, which I think are made of a heavy foam, are in need of cleaning. Have tried scraping and using a foam and metal scourer with soap liquid to no real avail. I suppose one answer is to catch less fish, but does anyone have any helpful suggestions?
