Adam F Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 After the discusion taking place after Charlie's trip, I have moved the possibility of a trip to the Rips to here. The calander is very full. The weekend of the 18 & 19th June are the only free. What are the tides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 What / where are 'The Rips'?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Adam, The tides are quite small from what I can tell on WXTide ( looking up Portland's ). The lowest tide appears to be on the 15th June. ( Assuming I am reading wxtide correctly ) A couple of months ago I stumbled on a site wher ethey had a downloadable list of the best tides to go channel wrecking. I am trying to remeber where I found it now ( it was well hidden away ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 It's here. All about the rips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 The 18/19th is mid tide so shouldn't be much of a problem. Because the weather has to be absolutely perfect, why don't we pencil in a few dates, just incase the first one doesn't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliss2 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hi guys The 18th and 19th June are good for me, as I get back from the states on the 17th. What I would bear in mind is that the rips fishes noticably better on a flood tide, and as on these dates the tide will not be flooding until later in the afternoon, this might leave fishing alittle bit slow. we could always stop off at the Brittle Star ground for Cod, which is only a few miles before the Rips. Like I say I am willing to follow you out and be there in case anyone needs any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 So - that's the 29th Burnham match, 5th Bream comp, 10/11 48 hr Specimen and the 18/19th rips weekend.................. Don't know how you guys do it! If the weather is right I may well runout to the rips on the 10/11 to suit the tide but I am probably going to have to miss the 5th if I want any chance of that weekend now. Happy to go in company oif that suits anyone else - let me know nearer the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Good idea Duncan, that would free up a weekend and kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak. What do the tides and states look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Adam, Absolutely no idea - but in a 48hr window there must be something fishable! The comments re flood tide have been echoed elsewhere so heading out on the ebb, when I never catch much anyway, maybe fishing a wreck out that way on the slack then drifting the rips through the flood and reverse the process back in would seem to be in order - breaks the trip up a bit too. When was the last time a cod featured in the 48hr comp results? All the above assumes we are not hopping around looking for shelter the whole weekend of course!

alun j. Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi there, June 18 is my birthday. Anyone feeling generous enough to invite me along as crew to offer me a new type of fishing and try out my new solid carbon rod?? Happy to contribute to fuel costs and tea-making. Fingers crossed, Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Yes Duncan I agree. I have aksed Jack and Andy of they fancy a trip on Pal-O-Mine, if so hopefully Ill tag along with them - bit more sturdy than BW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Wow busy next few weeks for you James. Now lets get all the fishing in, you won't be able to once the little arrives.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Hey James - love the way you have planned the arrival to miss your fishing diary! Kam - would never plan to be out for the full 48hrs as the fridge isn't big enough....... seriously I plan to go with the flow; if we get a windless weekend of sunshine then I might well do exactly that, possibly popping back into Swanage Weymouth Yarmouth or wherever. However I realise that this is likely to be impractical (from a fuel perspective mainly ?) for many. For me overnighting in Swanage saves me 3 hours of motoring (mainly through Poole Harbour) and another 2 clearing the boat then setting it up again - I don't leave any marine or fishing gear aboard. However it does mean finding someone who is flexible through the weekend too. Adam - looks like we will have a nice mid tide over the 48hr, with the tide flooding through to midday. This would be pretty perfect for boats to launch / slip moorings at first light on the last of the ebb and runout on either Sat or Sun.

Afishionado Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 My piece of magic seaweed sugests that June will be colder, wetter and windier than average this year. Don't be misled in to thinking summer is here by the warm couple of days this weekend. The only slim chance of a good spell in June is if the 'Azores high' extends enough to cover the SW and S areas of the UK. Apart from that 'SW maritime' wet and windy weather will be the predominant feature. 'Smazin wot you can get from seaweed Mad Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Duncan, the water should still be fairly cold so you can onion sack the beers and daggle it overboard, regarding food, you'll just have to eat what you catch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_duncan_Fisherman Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 after wot Adam has said about the tope and the onion sack (or was it Charlie?) you think I would risk the beers? If they are prepared to tear up a sack for a manky bit of old squid just think what they would do for a case of Stella........ Sadly I am inclined to believe Mike (this time) and will realistically expect to dash out at the slightest gap in the wind and rain for a specimen Pout; then back to the bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Mike.I think you could have kept THAT gem of information to yourself,I am bloody depressed now,I shall be in Snowdonia in June,and it's cold and wet there,when its great elsewhere,so goodness knows what it will be like this year.... jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
