Adam F Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Weather isnt looking good for Sunday lads - winds - 25-30 knots SSW. Lets hope the forecast improves. AF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 i saw the forecast yesterday and it said 20 degrees and light winds so its ment to be nice it should improve, the winds have been resonable all week. sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 the winds have been resonable all week. Sam you obviously wasn't around yesterday. The wind nearly blew me of my Ladeers. Force 5/6 at least in Poole Park and blimin cold with it Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I was about to disagree with you Adam, since I had looked up the forecast on windguru yesterday. Just looked up the forecast and they are predicting 18knots southerly with waves up to 2.1 metres. Will keep an eye as it seems changeable at the moment, but have to agree looks dubious at the moment. Looks good for your Friday trip though Rich.

great white Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hi Paul I was going to order the worms today but with the forecast as it is, I have not done so yet I will keep an eye on the forecast and if I can not order them at this end I will call the shop at weymouth in a day or so. If its on what time are you aiming to pick Sam up? Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Rich / James , Checked the tide times - LW is at 07:57 but it is 0.8 metres and HW is at 14:00 and is 1.1 metres. ( Hard to find the HW / LW on the graph ! ) So no problem launching all through the day I think. 7 AM launch to get to Shambles by slack water ? or earlier ? PS: At least there wont be much problem with wind against tide Charlie, If I get to your house at say 6 AM - will mean Weymouth by 7 AM easily. Sound OK ( No problem for me as I will be up at 3:30 AM ) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 sounds good paul early night saturday. if the wind does pick up cant you tuck in close for the wrasse sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Can do Sam. If you fancy feeling queesy Lets see what the forecast brings and maybe get BB's opinion on the conditions before going. No early night for me either as I have a friends 40th party to go to on Sat PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Its getting a bit better - 5pm will tell when the forecast is updated. F4 easterlies forecast now, so as long as it doesnt get any worse it should just be OK. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 sounds good i was reading this magazine yesterday and there was a 4 page article in there about fishing the shambles i think it was total sea fishing i cant remember but it was really interesting. sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Windguru Windguru is forecasting 14-15 Knot SE and wave height of around 1.5 metres and 1 "star" for surfing ( stars are bad for fishing ). Wave period = 5 secs ( = starting to chop up ). Mind you better than Tuesday next week, which looks horrendous !! Wouldn't the problem with Easterlies at Weymouth be the fact there is nowhere to shelter ? BB - what do you think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Metcheck forecast a reasonable wave height of 1ft for Portland Bill with an easterlies wind of 15 knots ( F4 ). Looks OK I think, given the small tide ? Is it not a case though of "wind from the east - fish are least" ( or something like that ?? ). Oh and Sam - Stop looking at the trees and concentrate on your schoolwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIMBOB Posted March 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Paul I Am going to leave at about 6/6.30 to get down there.I planned to meet up with Adam on the way. I just hope the weather forecast keeps getting better they have dropped the wind speed on sunday by 10mph in the last 24 hours. fingers crossed. I was going to take some other baits as well to maybe have a go for the wrasse in the habour if the weather gets bad. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boybilly Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 You are right Paul in that Easterly winds are the worst as far as Weymouth is concerned, no shelter mate. The wrasse are also thin on the ground this time of the year although there are a few 3 lbers about. If it is anything above a force 4 dont bother.

great white Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hi I have spoken to Paul, we are both a bit concerned about the forecast for Sunday. He is looking at a trip on Sat instead Paul if you see this I have booked 1lb Rag, I will collect tomorrow evening. Hopefully if others do not like the forecast for Sunday they may join you on Sat Tight lines Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Thanks for the info Billy, I think others unable to move to Saturday ( I spoke to James ). So will be going for Saturday and fingers crossed that the wind stays down ( otherwise early trip back ). If 1) rough, 2) no fish by 12 AM , then will be heading back and going to football. If 3) not rough and 4) fish are biting then football can take a back seat I will get to yours at 6 AM Sat Sam, so be up and ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 ok paul will be up and ready. see you saturday. sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 HMmmm...I can do either day and I must say that Sat is by far the best weather wise. Sunday looks to be touch and go - I may join you yet Paul. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Ive decided on Sat. It suits Gordon better, and my collegue from work who is also coming can only make Sat. Sun looks quite fishable, 16 knots F4 all day, but tomorrow is 3-6 knots winds and 1-2 all day! So Ill see you in the morning Paul - James, I think Loyal Royal and Domino are still going out on Sun, so you wont be alone. Bring on the plaice!!

domino Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I've been waiting to see if the weather forecast was going change before making a decision... If it stays SE F4 then I'll be staying at home! Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Adam, I hope it is 1-2 winds. Forecast at moment is F2-3 ( 6 to 9 knots ) and blazing sunshine. ( Metcheck ) Winds still Easterly though. Bring on the Turbot and Plaice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
