[Big dee]

4/0, 5/0, or 6/0 545 sakuma mantra hooks on a pennel set up mate and a tube boom or zip slider running ledger is the set up to use

HAVE YOU FORGOT DEE HE HAD THAT MANY THAT HE HAD BACK PAINS ALL DAY LOL TIGHT LINES

[Ken Davison]

I'm a sneaky bouncer :whistling when at anchor instead of uptidingI like to go downtiding :fishing1: as little lead as it is possible sit quietly at the stern and let it bounce away until it settles on the bottom, using a sliding boom with a 2'6" snood on the bottom pennel semi-circles with big baits and a short snood 3' above the boom with a smaller bait, two option rig :clap::clap:

[Ken Davison]

If the weather forecast is correct we can kiss this trip goodbye with wind speeds of 28mph

[Zed]

nows the time for some positive vibes ! not long to go, getting tackle sorted, bait being organised, some snap to be sorted end of week, lets hope some of the lesser battered variety still around.

[Ken Davison]

Just been checking the weather and it looks like the wind speeds are dropping for Saturday, if Friday levels of a bit more we might have a goer. :victory::clap2::clap2:

How much lug per person I was going to order 1lb ???

[RadioKaos]

Marcus told me he takes 2lb lug and box of squid

[Ken Davison]

Wind speed has dropped again so looking good,:clap2::clap2: don't bother with a shower before you set off we will be having a spot of rain:g::bleh:

[Zed]

what tackle you taking guys ? was thinking of leaving the uptider at home and taking a 7# fly rod and sinking line for all the freshwater we've got, and a garden rake for the weed !

but may need some extra backing, lol

and a big pack of scotch eggs

I shall be leaving the uptiding to the fitter crew members and just dropping over the stern :whistling:roll1::roll1:

[Bin]

Chris, you'll cast further with the fly rod, so I'd stick with that if I were you. You have to take your uptider anyway so that you can launch it over the side when you blank, AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ken Davison]

Been checking the wind speed and if I take an average across five sites we are looking at 15mph. Sea forecast as rough with wave heights average of 2.7m.

It does not look to bright.

[steve w]

The forecasts seem to be getting worse for Saturday,looks like if we get out we'll have a soaking!

[Ken Davison]

The forecasts seem to be getting worse for Saturday,looks like if we get out we'll have a soaking!

Been following it closely for the pass few days and the wind speeds dropped down to around an average of 7mph which is great but now they are sliding the lower wind speeds into Friday evening/early Saturday morning so that average speed at 0900hrs is around 10mph, 1100hrs 15mph, 1400hrs 18mph, so it is increasing throughout the day.

On top of that Thursday / Friday morning we are looking at an average of 21mph gusting 28mph so even though it drops of over Friday night it is leaving behind it some big seas 2.7m is a lumpy bit of water.

Hope you do get out mate but 2/1 you dont go? They give very little wind here this morning and it is absolutely Howling.
Just looked and at the moment there is a 30mph SW roaring up the Bristol Channel with the forecast staying at 28mph all day.At least Mike will have enjoyed his drive over...He never wanted to stay in bed!
Good luck anyway and I await the catch report!

What your actually quoting there is that they WILL be going out:g: Theres and even money chance of going out, which is yes and no. So if you gave someone 2/1 that they DONT go out then you are saying that they will go out. They bet 10 quid and get 30 quid back if they dont go out:sad2: What you should have said was 1/2 you dont go out. Therefore they bet 10 quid and only get 15 quid back if they do go out:clap2::clap2:

You could be my bookie any time ron:bleh::bleh:

[Welsh Warrior]

we don both sides the channel

[Ken Davison]

Just a quick note, no strangely we did not have to tuck up any where. Yes we caught cod, I totaled three one very small 1/2lb and one border line keeper probably would have made it but they were returned to fight another day.

The third I kept weighing in I believe either 3lb 8oz or 10oz which put me in third place for the pool and rod.

Let others chip in now.

Just read some of your other earlier post, I can remember at least twelve cod being caught, there were a definate 3 fish x 2, 4 x1, and at least two singles maybe more.

Considering the forecast things turned out quite well, must admit I was a bit worried being my first time since the chopper job, but the boys looked after me well, many thanks to them.

Paid4 gave it his best shot but it didn't pan out.
