Adam F Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Well chaps - to those who are going...not long now - hopefully this time in two weeks we will be drifting the banks for big flatties Have a look here: http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/14days.asp Not looking too bad long range (which of course means very little at the moment) but from the looks of it, bring your waterproofs - it looks pretty wet!

TomBettle Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Fingers crossed on that weather Adam! Don't mind rain, just the wind is a problem! No curries in the Marie Hall!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Wind is fine as long as it's with the tide and behind the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Looks on the bow all the way Kam - 27/28th on the other hand look perfect so maybe there will be a bit of a timing change over the next week........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBettle Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hi Dick No need to give too much detail, but are we talking Schole, South or Casquets or "AN Other"? Mark at Alderney Angling gave me some info the other day, but all the help I can get will be good as I will be over on my own boat the same time as the rest of teh guys are coming over with Chris C. Please PM if you would rather not publish on the forum. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I have a GPS card for the laptop this year - so can stream live online pictures straight from the Island onto here for you all to salivate over!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlderneyBassman Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 The 20 was from the South (nice 'cos it's close) no word yet on the 25. The truth will come out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 now Adam - whilst a GPS card may let your laptop know where it is ....................? GRPS maybe? catch 22 though - if you are catching enough to stream you are catching to many to mess around with a video camera and data services! like Sam's vision a lot - sunny calm etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'll get a job that allows you to fit in plenty of fishing ........... .......... but then ...... when family arrive.......!!!!!!!!! Good luck with forthcoming exams ......... 95 % preparation. etc. etc. Alun. PS. If you want any help revising.......... or tutorial help with 'Science'.......... just PM me.

Newboy Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Sam, enjoy your school life while you can, go for the good time, chase the girls, run around like a headless chicken for a bit, because once you grow up, pressure of work, money, relationship, all come crashing down ....... oh god, I sound like an old man already.
