Paul D Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Bob, I can also make Saturday and will have boat + me, so room for Dave Mayne, but like Adam and Martin, I am convinced looking at my fav. Waveguru site that the weather is conspiring against us once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Rapidly loosing enthusiasm. Perhaps I'm a jinx on the these trailering trips. Bloody weather. Thanks for confirming, Dave. Martin, is there anyone else on your boat, besides Rich (if he is coming)? Just trying to confirm who will be on which boat (if we go). Adam and I have a plan B if the weather is too windy. He's gunna give me a thrashing at golf!! Any bets??? cheers Bob F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Lets have a look at the weather on Thursday evening. We will all need time to purchase bait (or not) on Friday. Bob F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob F Posted March 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Thanks Rich. Just spoke to Adam. Looks like we will call it off again. We'll wait for the 6pm forecast tonight, but I'm not expecting any change. Next weekend is clear, so we could postpone to then. Let me know who would be available for next weekend. Haven't looked at the tides yet, though. If we cannot make it next weekend we will have to call off this trip. We start getting busy again in April. Bob F.

Maverick Martin Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hi Bob I'll go along with your comments re: next weekend or bust. Roll on Shambles Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted March 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Guess what?? Saturday is off...surprise, surprise!! Forecast is SW 4-6. Sea state moderate. And likley to get worse going by what I just saw on the tele. Ah well. Next weekend or bust, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Right - Last chance! Either day next weekend for the 3rd attempt to fish Hayling. What day does everyone prefer? - I am free both days at the mo. Also - went down to the ferry bridge slip yesterday whilst looking at the warrior. Tide was out and the differance was about 6/8 metres than the previous day when the tide was in. I also think the tide rip was about 4/5 knots! Nasty. There is no way in the world I would launch a boat into that! - So slack on a high tide is the only real feasible option for that slip. At low tide it is similar to wick - steep and slippery + covered in shingle So we need another slip! Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a good mark that is supposed to be about 1/2 mile south of Chichester Harbour, but I have been able to get the numbers for this one???? cheers Bob F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Hi all Dean can't make saturday so I definately have room for at least one crew member Please post here if interested or phone me, my numbers are on your list.

Swainiac Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Martin............I dont know if Bob has me on another boat.....but I am deff available, and would like to accompany someone on the day.............cheers Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Oh......a few more wise words from my pal who uses the slip loads. If there is a big tide, apparently at the end of the shingle on the slip is a drop off of about 15 feet!!! Even locals have been known to lose trailers there! Forearmed is forewarned! Also, a method he uses for plaice fishing is to bung on a 5oz weight, drop it to the bottom, feel when it hits, wind in the spare line to the rod tip, so its in the water, then attatch a pike bung style float, and leave about 18 inches of hooklength trailing behind the float,hand line in the remainder, then bait up with worms - he never uses squid (???) - the mussel beds will snag your spoons and other terminal tackle. He has given me a few options of where to fish, so if your marks fail, we have a back up in the armoury! Cheers.................Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
