great white Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Anyone thinking of braving the big tides and cold weather to go out this weekend. Thur, Sat or Sun Alfresco has not been out for a while, so am thinking of going, to give her a spin. But it would be good to think others are about just in case. I would not be going far on those tides, and have space for crew if anyone is interested. Charlie Gummage and Jim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Anyway, Bit difficult for our boats at Cobbs to get out at the moment as the Twin Sails Bridge is permanently down due to damage and repairs. So I could not get out if I wanted to. Good luck to everyone else Greg Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Same here Greg but its not the bridge giving me trouble exiting Holes Bay, I would need a big puddle to fish in as Madness is on the hard Kingfisher 126 and Jim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether its only emergency lifting I'm not sure ?? Might be worth a chat with them. Will ask bridge control tomorrow and let you know the answer Greg and Jim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofty Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 I’ve got some worms and going out from Branksome for a few hours in the morning Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 The twin sails bridge had both sides up 30 degrees this morning at 9am, both down at 2.30. Couldn't get an update as answer not known ! Be aware that the harbour is about 300mm higher than tide book with all the rainwater about. I couldn't get out till 9.30 whereas I should have been able to get out about 8.45 according to tide book. Greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Alternatively MartinStrips of squid work equally as well And yes on the bottom.

Alun told me to swop to mackerel and thereafter it was non stop action. And yes, on the bottom. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummage Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Thank you both. My plan is to spot a boat that looks like it knows what it’s doing and fish near that. If that’s your plan too I advise you not to follow Edeavour 3.😉 seriously I’m thinking of going 2 or3 miles SSE of old harry and drifting on the 2knot tide in the earl afternoon.

Greg Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 I believe drifting for Whiting is not very productive.We fished the outer Sadler Banks and caught more fish than we could cope with at anchor.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Gummage, Jim and plaicemat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
