Stuie Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'll be walking around the park Allan - good to see you yesterday - neighbour..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyscott Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Been watching the forecast for a couple of days. Originally hoped Friday would be on but some inconsiderate people have filled up the diary with work - oh well got to pay the mooring fees somehow🙂 Might have a look on Sat if it holds. As you say its a big tide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Nope The Yacht Haven at work is still closed, does not look like we will open for a while yet, then the boat will need to come ashore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry.shutter Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 If anyone hears from RYA or government bodies that those of us over 10 miles from there boats can use them PLEASE post. I cannot find anything at the moment. 😖😖😖😖😖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wight Magic Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'm hoping to get out Saturday probably will not get out to far with the big tides Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hope to do a short trip Saturday too. If last weeks trip is anything to go by I'm setting my expectations very low. Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Just seen this post I think you have that mileage wrong I read don’t travel more than 5 miles from home !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry.shutter Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 As I see it at the moment, after 29th March those of us who don’t live close to our boats will be able to travel, however that’s still a grey area. Had my jab yesterday so that makes me at least feel like we are moving forwards 🥳🥳🥳 As per previous post, if anyone in the know hears anything do please post👍 Andy135, Stuie and Jim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like me, I'm sure you can travel to your boat, go fishing and return home without coming into contact with anyone. I can assure you that I shall be travelling to Lyme Regis to collect the new toy!

Andy135 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 @jerry.shutter, as @plaicematsays, 29th March is when the requirement to stay local goes away, so that's when I'll be heading back down to my boat (I live 90 mins away from the marina). To say I'm gagging for it is an understatement! 😉 Jim, jerry.shutter, plaicemat and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hi All It seems commercial Marinas are public spaces and can open, but Yacht Club ones like ours, are private and therefore cannot. Bummer, been sat here today watching boats buzzing around the harbour. One down side of a sunny calm day ,I saw the first jet ski of the season, bloody pests are banned here Charlie 2006holmwood and Jim 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why your not allowed to let members in to their boats is amazing. I can understand keeping the clubhouse etc closed, but access to people’s mental well-being being denied?

alun j. Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 I went out Fri and Sat for two short sessions over the top of the tides. Found a few early plaice [in surprisingly good condition !] but bites were shy in the cold water...and only when the tide eased. Nasty swell on Sat made the return over the Bar a bit hairy ! ....but the surfers were loving it ! Best bait....those little white rag you find when digging lug.

boyscott Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Jerry makes a good point about enjoying other people's reports, especially if not able to get out, so albeit a bit late... Saturday the weather was great but the fishing not so. It didn't matter as it was nice to be out in T-shirt weather. Someone had parked a great big cruise liner where I intended to fish so I went a bit further and dropped the hook. I expected a fierce ebb tide at some point but apart from the middle hour or so it wasn't too bad. Aside from few whiting and dogfish the only interest fish-wise was a 2lb brill which was most welcome. When I got back to Cobbs I tied up on the quay-side of F to wash down while the tide rose enough to get back to the mooring on the other side. Lovely day out 😎 fisherman1055, Stuie, 2006holmwood and 7 others 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006holmwood Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 If you had asked nicely i`m sure they would have moved.😀 But there again you might not have caught the Brill. Brian, fisherman1055, Jim and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonorn Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Rockley Boat park has only just reopened for us to go down and clean/service, You can only get a launch at the weekend atm, the same reason as Charlies place as its classed as a holiday park not a Marina.
