Is this a beach mark or is it accessible for a wheelchair? Just curious as I never manage to get to any meets due to the marks they are held.
Just a thought.

hi,yes you would be able to access the peir with a wheelchair mate,a little bit bumpy but dont see any problem with it at all.

[rincewind]

Can't do Feb but I'd be up for it after that.

[tommy s]

ok seems to a few people interested so what if we narrow it down to march,i have to watch dates in march due to club commitments which i will look in to,hopefully more people can make this and it takes off.:fishing:

do you think i might have been pullin your leg? Been there before, not fished it, seem it remember a couple of houses and a pub on about two streets. not much space for parking and probably not worth fishing especially if they all stay in hotel Deep Sea

Guys,

Is access to the pier off the main road just where the main road goes up the hill? (I don't know S/Q very well)

Also, what about parking? It looks as though it's going to be a large meet rather than a mini meet and I was just wonering if there will be enough parking.

Iain

[karlmc]

yea malt man.. thats the turn off..... just before u go up the hill..
plenty space for cars :victory:

[The Malt Man]

[fisher2]

Had a wee sess with my mate Hugh Today. Fished low (11am) to 1/2 tide. Started at the point (or at least just west of the island). 2hrs after low tide tap tap on Hugh's rod - nice flounder 3/4lb. But alas that was all there was in the session. Did try of Craigy pier/slip for last hour -wind got up to a fair chop :cold:- but nothing more. Packed up at 4pm.
Still twas a good we tester for a fortnights time.
Looking forward to it :group:

PARKING
Re Iain's (The MaltMan) point about parking there should be enough spots - large car park at RNLI station just west of rail bridge, few spots (3-4) between bridge and Craigy and say room for 6 or more if every body parks tidy etc at Craigy.
Harry Lynch Ltd doing some repair work at dry end of Craigy slip today- fencing up.. if this is away (guess it will be) by 14th room for 3 or 4 more places.
Toilets to be found at Hawes pier -suitably sign posted
:boat:
RNLI PARKING; -please be aware there is a reserved parking area (not v. well maked on the road) just 20yds to the east of the Hawes pier Brae Rd B924. - ->Do not obstruct these bays please! <- -
2Twist - do you want to put this RNLI parking reminder upfront on your first post on this thread?

[Wheely reels]

Is there definitely room to get the car down? If the ground is heavy going to get there I might struggle with my rods and box. I just want to clarify before I get there.
I don't mind having to push a fair bit as long as the ground underneath is not soft or muddy.

Dougy - solid all the way!!
Was there today - only thing is remember is that if your at Craigy that its a slip as is Hawes. you have to move up/down as tide comes in /out. Craigy is a bit uneven /bumpy but not to o bad i would have thought! Yes can get a car down - but likewise you'll have to come back/go down with the tide.
Pic of Craigy is attached>
Pic is ( Guess) near High tide mark

I am looking forward to it and hopefully the weather will be good too.

Craigy pier looks like a billiard table compared to St. Catherine's mate although it does look rather steep. I guess I'll need to wear my floatie just in case you go scuttling down the slip at a fair rate of knots :laugh:
I think it is essential that you get parked on the pier as it looks like a fair old jaunt from Hawes pier to Craigy pier. :showoff:
(have a look at it on flash earth)

I'm really looking forward to this meet and hopefully I'll manage to double my species list :lmao:

[Wheely reels]

I was actually thinking about something else which is slightly :offtopic: but is there anyone who needs to get their volcano kettle from Big Al.

If there is anyone still needing theirs collected and they are going to the meet I could possibly do it (as long as they have paid for it)
I could meet Al, pick up the kettles and bring them through with me.

Just a thought

It would be good to see you there mate as it seems to be growing by the day.

If Rachael has 10 years on Karl and I'm just a wee smidgen older than Rachael, Wheely has a score on me..... so that makes him by far the oldest and a right auld codger at that :wheelchai who blanked on his last outing :bleh::bleh::bleh:

:roll1::roll1:Well i did at north berwick and every meet and trip i have been on over the last 5 months

[Wheely reels]

I hope you have your fork at the ready Iain as you will need it for your worms.

You will need to watch your tweed trousers don't get ripped as well as your tights but I am sure you will manage something.

I might be very slightly older than you mate but I still have my own hair and teeth.

I did blank on my last outing and the one before that but time will tell at the end of the year when we tally up our species list.

If anyone is taking a camera, try and get a picture of Iain (The Malt Man) in his floaty suit if he can find it. He bought a brand new floaty suit but he doesn't want to get it dirty or wet so it in kept in his loft. He actually had to buy a new headlamp to find the thing so if it does make an appearance, please somebody take a picture as I will get it framed for him.

[Para Handy]

Was thinking of bringing a boat down to photograph you all, but the forecast's 30mph SSW winds for Saturday with 6°C - forget it!

I would think it would be a head to the mark (the pier with beach either side) 2 spaces to keep though for parking. meeting at 9.45am with low tide at roughly 10.15am

I think I'll take to 8mph one. Any takers for the other two :bleh:

Well I think I am sorted, just need to get there. All my gear is ready and we have a good selection of baits so I am looking forward to it.

What a pitty about the horrendous wind as the weather was fine otherwise. Looks as though it could be a productive mark in better conditions. Well done to Tommy :clap: for setting up the meet and as Karl says, 10 out of 10 for perseverance. Glad you caught mate, maybe your rockling will soften the blow to all your gear that got damaged.

Karl suggested to me that there may be more shelter from the wind on the jetty behind the lifeboat station, so Dougy, Declan and myself headed over there for an hour or so. It was a lot more sheltered (good shout Karl :thumbs:) but the problem was that the boat that docks there kept going out and in every 10 bl@@dy minutes and I'm sure the skipper was doing it on purpose just to keep our lines out off the water :bones: The highlight of the day was seeing the lifeboat being scrammbled :busted_co and coming back soon after with a mum, dad and little kiddie who apparently got stranded on Cramond Island? How irresponsible can people be sometimes especially with yesterdays conditions :nono:

Although the fishing was near impossible, it was good to meet up with some other forum members and put names to face, and well done to all who managed to put bait in the water (even for a short time) :clap3:

I guess the pressure is now on for RAECHEL to set up the next meet, so come on girl what's keeping you?
