Manic Moore Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 There looks to be a small window in the weather this evening. Anyone fancy an evening trip launch about 6 ish, maybe a few drifts for bass and if the weather stays calmish then have another go for the conger?

alun j. Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 'Weather windows' are so unreliable ! BBC promised one yesterday; launched Gastronaught on maiden , running - in trip and found wind was strong [ 5 -7 !!] Not too bad in the harbour and out around Mudeford sandbank.........but heavie-ho around the Ledge into Poole Bay. Only time to pick 6 macky and three small pollack into 'sloshing' bait tank. Back in Christchurch Bay, much calmer , but full of weed on the ebb. Christened new boat with a 3 lb. bass on livebait........ pollack not mackeral ! Looks good this morning ....... but dental appt. and chores means I'll miss this one! Alun.

Paul J Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Nice one Alun, Fish on your maiden is a good omen- not that you need one PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Well done Alun Did the boat live up to or surpass you expectations? Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Martin, Too soon to say......but very pleased so far.... Feels really safe and comfortable , even in snotty weather Nice slow speed ride [ only possible so far], quiet under way and bait tank works a treat. Lots of deck space and cupboards to keep things tidy! One more thing to sort out is an anchor lift. Do you know where I can get a nice big stainless steel ring from ?? [ the ones in the chandlers look a bit small]. Cheers, Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIMBOB Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Alun looked good from where I was sitting, she handled that snotty sea well going over the front of the ledge. Nice little pull up cuddy too to keep the rain off, bit windy out there though James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 One more thing to sort out is an anchor lift. Do you know where I can get a nice big stainless steel ring from ?? Alun, I've got one if you want it for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
