Leicester Fisheagle

Short trip for Fisheagle with myself, Coddy and Mike Fox who will combine a short fishing session with the Boat's Sea Safety Check. Out just after 8am. returning just after 1pm. Probably Southbourne Area. On Ch 6. Allan.

Doesn't seem to bode well for the future if I am reading this correctly. Allan.

I fully understand these Senior Moments. My problem is they are starting to become days and not moments! Allan.

Thanks for the call Stuie, glad you had a nice day out. Try calling tomorrow (Wednesday) which is the day we are going out and I promise I will reply! Allan.

Looks like it will be myself, Sparky(Mick) and Hookey(Andy). Wednesday somewhere off Swanage on Ch6. Allan.

Hi Sparky Will ring you later tonight. All spaces now full.

Hoping to get out midweek if the high pressure holds, could well be looking for one or two crew. Allan.

Fisheagle will be heading out somewhere off Swanage tomorrow, subject to conditions. Will be on Ch 6. Allan.

Happy to act in support and if needed to provide some on the water refreshment. Not sure too much tea/coffee recommended on a Kayak? Allan.

Bull bars on the front Allan.

Hoping to stick our bow out of the Harbour after 9 am. to try to get a few hours on Inshore banks. Very much up to tomorrow's forcast and weather in the morning. Will be on Ch 6. Is anyone else going to give it a try? Allan.

Brilliant! Allan.

We happened to be in Swanage Angling at 4.50pm. this afternoon. We had seen and heard emergency vehicles going up the track behind the Pier to Peverill Point. Don't know the whole story, but we were told that a couple of people had been Coasteering, and that one had been got out of the water and another was trapped. ,Not a nice situation in any weather, but with winds at Force 9 and 10ft. plus waves, light fading and the tide rising things were getting worse.Heard that two Lifeboats were called out and that a Helicopter was on the way. Hope everyone involved was OK, makes you think. Allan.

I happened to be in Poole this afternoon and dropped into Poole Sea Angling Centre for a few bits and bobs.. Andy asked me to point out that there is an error on the Posters that are out there for his COMPETITION ON SUNDAY 15 th.DEC. 2013. The Weigh in will no longer be at the Pure Drop Inn, but at THE MARINA CLUB in Poole. He also asked me to say he thought it would prove a better venue as there is a huge car park wihich will be free/at a nominal charge just up from the Town Bridge which could also take small boat trailers. He also hopes that the venue, which has had some refurbishment will be more suitable and that the food will be better. No doubt, fuller details will appear on this Site in due course. Allan.

1) Court Jester plus crew TBA (on each and every day possible!) 2) Kingfisher plus crew Jim Davies Plus TBA (on each and every day possible! Will try hard to make it!) 3) AWOL will need crew, any volunteers? 4) Fisheagle plus Allan, Dave (Coddy) and Jan T.

Self and crew for the 10th. happy to combine the Ray /Flatty Comp. with the Cod Comp. Gives us more chance of weighing something in. Allan.

Happy birthday Stuie. Is it really just fishing that keeps you looking so young? Allan.

Jim be carefull! Tony (Serenity) has threatened to get his white coat out which he still has from a previous life. Allan.

I have only done these speeds twice for a very short time in flat calm conditions. Generally, if conditions allow, I cruise between 16 knots (3500 revs) and 24 knots (at around 4500 revs) with 4000-4200 giving 20 knots or just over. Max revs are 6000. Fuel cosumption is about 1.8 litres a nautical mile. As the tank holds 285 litres I probably fill up every three or four trips. I leave a minimum of a quarter tank for safety ( about 40 miles worth) and usually fill up to 3/4 of a tank. The only problem is petrol is more expensive than some of sources of Diesel which are out there. However, Service costs should be a bit cheaper. It's swings and roundabouts. If I could have found a newish diesel Pilot House with a leg at the right price I could have gone that way. Allan.

No, maybe next time but you could have cleaned your corner of the boat a bit better. Allan.

Hi Lofty, could only pick up about half of the conversation on the radio, but I understood that you were getting lots of Gars and enjoying some fun action as evidenced by your usual high quality pictures. John Stephenson came out for a few hours as they have cancelled his hospital operation in Dorset for the fourth time. The weather was superb and the boat clocked 39.8knts. with 400 revs to spare. There were several boats near us on the Horseshoe, but it was no way near as good as last month.. We caught a number of species,but mainly Dogs and Red Gurnards. Jim who fished three big Mackeral strips and then three unwashed squid only had Dogs, but they were at least a good size. Maybe he will have better luck next time when he manages to come out . Tony, not sure about the weather for Friday,but will talk to you/PM if there is an opening.

Just received the same reply. Only takes a few minutes to send. Allan.
