great white Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thanks mike I have had a quick look at navionics on my tablet, where I remember all of those boats was probably on the south end of the big bank at the end of the little Russell. That other marks are a bit to far South West, as we have very little info on how to fish them or what for. Has anyone thought of using beaucette marina? Maybe not for us this time, due to bank holiday accomadation, but I hear from members of the yacht club that fuel is even cheaper there and its nearer the banks Another question, is anyone registered on the wreck site for the french wrecks and those around Guernsey, just in case lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBrit Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Another question, is anyone registered on the wreck site for the french wrecks and those around Guernsey, just in case lol Just renewed my wrecksite membership and it looks like I can see the wrecks around Guernsey. Will have a look through for some interesting ones and put a list of numbers together if that helps mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Fox Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 http://www.beaucettemarina.com/ One of the most spectacular and narrow entrances of any marina I've ever been to (inside a flooded quarry). It's a nice area at the tip of the island for exploring or shore fishing, but there's not a lot else there. Think captive market. When I last visited I couldn't find any alternative place to eat. I think the usual marina residents (and people live there with broadband wired to their boats) don't mind the restaurant prices (find dinner menu). Might be a good place to eat your brill and turbot on board? Mike PS Not sure if petrol is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least mooring is alongside so no water taxis to get to and from the boats. Are you guys still mulling over where to actually go should the weather gods smile on us?

great white Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Due to accomadation requirements it looks like Guernsey then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher 126 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I will be heading for Guernsey, with the option to change on the day as required as we are staying on the boat. Just go with the weather conditions and places we fish. Will look to head for Alderney Sunday night, want an early start and have a go on the French wrecks on the way back as last year.

LilBrit Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 As a first timer I'll be looking to pick up a few tips along the way, will have to check with the other guys coming over from Portland to see what they have in mind. Anybody who was planning to crew for the original dates and now don't have a boat to crew on please get in touch if interested in the reserve dates.
