Wsf Boat Meet " Loch Fyne"

[bmac]

Guy's im going to arrange a meet on Sat 24th of November @ Loch Fyne Aboard "Keltic Lady" Ardrishaig. I have already spoken to Kenny and Nikki the skippers and they have okay'd it and are going to put up at least one prize for the day. Species will mainly be Lsd's, Conger, Coalie's and Pollack with the chance of a Cod, Thornie, Late Wrasse and Mackerel. We need 10 for the boat and when i see who is interested in it i will confirm with you and arrange deposits.
So far we have 10 = Bmac, Peterthefisherman, TickettyBoo!, Ken-r, Birdseye, Spellbound, Kenyan, Adeys, theguyfulla and CongerConger.
Let me know if your interested, I have chosen this venue as it is a cracking boat and a good venue for beginners to learn and pick up tips.
**Can we put this as a sticky mod's ? ** :)

[spellbound]

Depending on the exact date - I am more than interested.

[bmac]

Kenny it will be a Saturday, I'm thinking 17th or 24th both are available so if i get the numbers i will confirm, You in ??:)

[Birdseye]

Just wonderin if the trip is for established forum members or can anyone have a space, if so could i reserve a place as it would gr8 to meet folk off the forum and put names to faces and pick up some tips n ideas on the way. Cheers Graeme.

[ken r]

I'll volunteer, Billy, let me know which date you choose soonest.

[bmac]

Graeme, You are more than welcome ! It's open to all, You in ??

[Birdseye]

Yeh reserve a place for me please, dying for a good trip, ive only wet a line once this year due to work, looking forward to this. Cheers

[bmac]

Ken-r and Birdseye your names are now down :)

[spellbound]

Should be ok for either, put me on the list - if thats ok :)

[bmac]

Your in Kenny, Nice to fish with you again :)

[kenyan]

count me in!!

[ade]

i'll have a bash too

[peterthefisherman]

Hya BMAC - 17-11 is a skate trip for me (and you if available) - so 24 -11 would suit better datewize :)

[bmac]

Cool Peter 24th it is then, Kenyan and Adeys you are both in.

[ade]

im deffo in
what type rod i got 20-30 class should do for there yeah

[bmac]

Adey a 12-20lb class is fine, It's gonna be mostly Lsd's, Pollack and sm stuff. Sadly you don't see many monster fish in Loch Fyne but you may get a Conger as there has been plenty taking Doggie baits to 15lb this year.

[Ticketty Boo]

12-20 would be ideal, but a 20-30 would be fine. Don't go any heavier though.

[bmac]

Just spoke to Skipper this morning, The outing is provisionally booked for Sat 24th of November. They are both away on holiday until next Monday so when they return they will confirm it and i can arrange deposits.

**** Only 2 spaces left ******

[Ticketty Boo]

Imagine counting ann octopus as your fish species! I'm going to count brown crab, velvet swimmer crab, spider crab, bit of kelp, length of curtain material, those old traces at Minard, some jelly fish on my line and a bit of a starter motor from a ford anglia!

[bmac]

Hey my Octapus was about 3lb in weight and took a 4/0 with Mackie ! Have you caught one ??
I know it's hard for you to take that i'm hammering you at the species this year,:unsure: Oh and have you had a Tope yet Mr Boo ?? :) :)

Ahh cheers for the info Norrie, never heard of them before, thanks again.

[peterthefisherman]

Norrie - I think the problem at the Mull was - a certain budding angling jounalist gave us them when he could no longer stand the smell !!!! :)

[ade]

i think they still a hit and miss but u never know till you try

[Norrie]

Peter, the ones Davy had, were thawed out for two days before we used them, (the majority went in the Dubby bag) although they were mush, I did manage to get tiny wee bits on tiny wee hooks, and got............................LOADS of TINY WEE fish !!!!!!!! :):) Seriously BTW...:):)

[theguyfulla]

hy kenny , dont take your beachcasters on a boat , you have a good wee boat rod and take a spinning rod too.

[kenyan]

ah cool! suppose a beachcaster in its name kind of says - not on a boat!

[bmac]

[bmac]

Okay chaps, The time is just about here for the meet only 4wks away. The boat is booked and we will be setting sail at 9am from Ardrishaig harbour. The cost will be approx £28 each and if everyone can also bring a packet of Hokkai's/lure's we will put all 10pkts as one prize and Kenny and Nikki are going to put up a "wee" prize also for a bit of fun :):)

[spellbound]

I'm still available if needed :fishing:

Do they still sell and take orders for the bags of mussel?

[bmac]

Hi Kenny, Yes your in. Regarding the Mussel, I'm not sure. I find Rag, Mackerel and Squid is best never had much luck with mussel :schmoll:

[bmac]

Lads ive had no reply from either of you and i have also sent you both a pm. If i have had no reply by Friday i will have to give your spaces to the reserves so i can finalise the arrangements

Cheers.

[bmac]

Sorry guy's but have had to give your places away as i have had no reply from either of you, Let's hope we see you both at the next one :):)

[bmac]

Guy's spoke to Nikki tonight about trip on Saturday, At the moment it is looking like 25mph SW winds if this is the case then the trip will be off :ohmy: It only seems to be Saturday thats bad so there is a good chance it may be on if the weather comes forward at all. I will let you know by thurs pm as we should know for deffo by then, fingers crossed.
With Regards to the fishing Nikki said its been good. Plenty of Lsd's, Whiting, Pouting, Cod and when the water has been clear a fair few Pollack. If we get out it should be a good day.

[spellbound]

Cheers for the warning BMAC.

Fingers and toes crossed :boat:

[peterthefisherman]

Hard to believe - but forecast seems to have got worse 36 mph westerlies - lets hope for a drastic change !!!!:huh:

[bmac]

Sorry lads, Winds 26mph + :sad: :sad: So trip is cancelled i will try and re-arrange something soon :sad:

[spellbound]
