alun j. Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 After being blown off for this past weekend, we are now looking at the next neaps in 2 weeks time Tigerfish is planning on going [poss Sat to Tues for the best tides] I have some accommodation provisionally booked....but there is room for some others. Are any other boats thinking of going over that weekend ? Alun Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alun j. Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 ok Matt....let me know how many beds you'd want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Oli...we may be a day behind you...better tides are Sat to Tues....but it will be the wind that decides ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Well we'll try and leave some fish for you but I can't promise anything! It's been a few years since we've been, am I right in thinking you have tended to fish the Casquets/South banks rather than the Schoale (I remember when we went last virtually everyone was on the Schoale every day)? Have there been any tope off Speedy Rock the last few times you've been? Any thoughts on a game plan much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Usually manage a day on each....last year the wind made the choice when we went to the South banks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Update ! Oli are you still going with your original plan ? Saturday looks like it could be a windy day. This morning we are looking at going Sunday to Weds. Any other boats ?? Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher 126 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 We were going Friday to Sunday but Saturday looks a write off so we will drop out at the moment. Work just gets in the way of any fun!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi Alun As you say, Saturday looks terrible. We're now looking at the bank holiday weekend, leaving early Saturday morning (23rd) and back Monday evening. Oli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 We (Tigerfish - Alun, Ian, Clive, Steve) are planning on Sun 10th to Wed 13th. Has been looking good/acceptable for the past 3 days now, I'm almost starting to believe it will happen in spite of the gales as I look outside the window. The tides are reasonably favorable. It would be good for some other members boats to be going as well. Steve Kingfisher 126 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi Alun Still planning to go and keeping everything crossed. For us it will be Saturday-Monday as unfortunately can't take Friday off. If we have half as good a trip as you've just had I'll be over the moon! Oli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Any tips from the last trip Alun? Anything bait-wise work better than others? Were you using Portland Rigs to about 6ft of fluoro? Franklin Flyers? Thanks Oli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Trotted red maggot (single) on a size 20, shotted right down! Interesting - I usually save those for lunch but if you say so Rob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 All seemed to work much the same !! As long as your bait is well-presented [flat on the bottom], there didn't seem much difference. Mackerel or launce. ...fillet , flapper or whole. Have a good trip...forecast holding nicely....you should have a much more comfortable fish than we did !!

Oli Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Morning all. Quick update - fantastic trip over from Poole yesterday morning - marina to Braye harbour in..................... 2hrs25mins!!!!! Reserved a mooring then straight out to the banks where we found Dave Kev and Craig on Reel Magic, fantastic fishing on both boats-on one drift I had 3 turbos on he same fillet of launce one after another! Food and beers and then back to the boat for a good sleep. Another sunny day today - just waiting for the crew to join me and off to find some more!
