Harry S Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Dear Experienced Sea Fishermen, My engine and trailer have been serviced and Hook'n'Eye has been tested in the calm of Milford Haven a few weekends ago - so far so good. Now for the real thing. Is anyone going out from Poole, Christchurch or Lymington this weekend on Sunday or Monday? I would welcome the chance to follow someone from car park to fishing mark and back! Seamanship is sound but the fish will have nothing to fear - I have a rod, reel & line and not much else (apart from 1 crewmember and a small boy). Best regards, Harry the Novice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Harry, How about Saturday ? - Weather forecast is superb. ( Although I might be persuaded to go out Sunday possibly ). I will go out from Wick, or possibly Lymington if smoothies are being reported ( yet to check tides ) but hoping for an earlyish start ( 8 AM ish ).

Harry S Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Alun, Paul, Thanks for the replies - I cannot go out on Saturday as the Higher Authority is playing horses. So it is Sunday or Monday for me. Was going to try Cobbs Quay as reports of Baiters has put me off a little - but I could get to Mudeford or Wick (I'm coming from Swindon). In the meantime, I'll watch the weather forecast and read some books on fishing. Best regards, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Alun - weather Monday will be idyllic - it's Tuesday the big, unforcasted, front will hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'm thinking XChurch Saturday as well, have we got a convoy good buddies? I may be needing crew if anyone's interested as my regular deck swabber is away for the weekend. Here's hoping the weathers set fair.

Paul D Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Gordon, I am now looking at Sunday as my crew member is unable to make Saturday ( also weather now looking good for Sunday - I wish it would make its mind up !! ). So Harry, if you want to buddy up from Christchurch on Sunday, I will be there. Fancy Sunday Gordon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Paul, Providing the weather is fine I could be up for Sunday joined by senior management keeping an eye on me. Still at least I won't have to sweat in the galley preparing those bacon sarnies and hot brews! No, I'll be too busy puting those nasty worms on the hook and taking those slimy fish off (hopefully), replacing rigs and sorting out those annoying tangles and reel overruns, bless her. No fishing for me then! Gordon H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Gordon, I guess, unlike my wife, yours doesn't read the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 May tag along Sunday if the weather is nice - pushing it a bit with Alderney next week, but if I take the FPO (who is now a member I might get it through!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Adam, Any ideas on decent marks to try ? - I am pondering over best plan of action for spring tide. Ledge, bridge, southbourne ? Decisions, decisions ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry S Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Paul, Thanks for the offer to tag along on Sunday from Wick. Still undecided as to Sunday or Monday - weather looks good on Monday too (at the moment). If I have to stay at home for Sunday lunch + in-laws + kids + valium etc, is anyone venturing out on the Bank Holiday Monday? Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIMBOB Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I was also thinking sunday. Paul Im also out tomorrow to see if the bream are on my old faithful marks yet So that will make up my mind on what to do sunday James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hi , I'm going to try a few marks on Sat.; weather seems best on that day [ and leaves possibility of other trip !] I expect to have some of Poole Harbour's finest fresh rag [ digging Fri.] to target bream but will also try Hokkais along the Ledge for pollack at the top of tide [ midday]. I will happily buddy up with anyone new to the area.......... or will crew for you Gordon , if you'd like to share. Looking good weatherwise............ but only briefly !!! Alun.

Paul D Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Might get out Friday afternoon for a "pre-sortie", dependant upon getting home from work early enough. I will call to see how you got on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
