plaicemat Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I intend having my annual pilgrimage soon but think I will give it a week or so. Flamer 11 was going out this week apparently, haven't seen any reports. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisE Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 We've moved Hilda Maud down to Weymouth for the next couple of months. Hoping to go out on over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'll be heading down but will free time at a premium, I'll be waiting until a few reports start to filter in. I see a few of the Poole boats are heading down this week. I think they must be there soon, last year we were getting them from mid March?

JIMBOB Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Nice sunny calm day on the shambles it was, but I would have rather a cold wet one with fish!! tides and weather spot on and I would say the time of year for a dustbin!. There were about ten boats on there today and only three by 2 o'clock, mostly private boats but a couple of charters ,silver spray and flamer, didn't sea a net come out all day. I think the fish may be there just the water is far to coloured, its a bit patchy one minute zero viz muddy water then the odd swirl of chalky sandy water at best maybe 3ft viz, we fished hard and even anchored for an hour or so to see if the sent would draw them in but got plagued by dogfish! one herring on the shrimp rigs and a whiting each on the drift that for a second fooled us into thinking Turbot on a day like today though I had to try Kingfisher 126, Adam F, Martin.C and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Well done for trying James. If you can't get a result I think I will wait a couple more weeks Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Tough luck James. I looked up at lunch time and saw the weather. Gorgeous ! ! ! Hope the electrics get sorted soon. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
