TomBettle Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 26th is off with SW5 gusting 7 it would be very uncomfortable out on the exposed Shambles bank. I need a fishing fix even if I don't catch anything (I am used to that). On a SW5 is the swash at all sheltered (nice small tides and all)? If so.... does anyone fancy drowning a few worms to see if any Plaice are around? I won't have a boat to use in Poole, so I would need to crew. Anyone interested?

Newboy Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 This side of the IOW shaould be pretty well sheltered on a SW. Plaice have been caught close to shore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBettle Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 .....so if anyone wants to have bash on Sunday (their boat) and want some crew... ..I'll pay for the worms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Tom, SW F5 GUSTING F7 - did someone mention smoking your own dope? Just hold tight until next weekend and I personally guarantee that the weather will be perfect. It always is on a big spring tide, just ask any diver!

TomBettle Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Following weekend is no good for me, not to mention I hate dragging weights about over the shambles. May "accidentally" borrow a work boat and have a little play. If anyone is desparate to have a go and try and find a plaice in the Swash or tight in somewhere out of the weather on Sunday 26th then please call on 07780687795 Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swainiac Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Tom, if you nab a boat from work, and fancy a few hours out I'd love to join you. Colin cancelled our trip out of weymouth yesterday, although I was down in the town at Billy's servicing reels, and at 1100 it looked well fishable, although the swell was building.

TomBettle Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Rich That is looking well favourite at the moment although we won't have any electronics onboard so it will be 100% guesswork. I have to say I have just seen the beach at Branksome Chine and it is a millpond right now, albeit very damp. I'll check the met forecast at 19:00 and take a view. Haven't got your number here so can you call me at home tonight on 01202 760711. Tom PS: If it is looking much better than was previously forecast can we still BB to join us out from Weymouth at short notice....? Lets take a view later.

TomBettle Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Anywhere open for bait on a Sunday in Poole? The inshore waters forecast is quite snotty still so I think the Shambles is probably out as it is exposed, but XC Weather is only giving SW4 until later in the afternoon and today's forecast (the same as for tomorrow) has given a beautiful calm NW corner of Poole Bay, even if it is damp. Rich, I am up for it if we can get some bait... Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Tom, Wessex Angling should be open, and Poole Angling Centre. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboatdriver Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Tom, The Poole Sea Angling Centre link is on the website. I should give him a ring now to check but he should have plenty as he supplie the charter boys on the weekend. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 They open on sunday, but not until 8:00-9:00, nothing like your Weymouth boys who opens at 7:00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBettle Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Everything has gone pair shaped! Thought that I may just get away with dragging a worm or mackeral fillet through the swash and onto the edge of the sands in the merest hope of a flat shaped fishy being tempted. Got down to Salterns to hop on a stock boat and the wind has got just a hint of East in it. No West at all which will mean it is nasty and lumpy out there. I am going home to drown my sorrows in too much tea and eat loads of biscuits in an attempt to become as lardy as some of my fellow brethern on here. Jeez I need to go fishin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
